Now entering its sixth year, Canucks Junior Golf Week presented by
Odlum Brown Limited
will return July 2-9 and registration is now open for PGA of BC facilities interested in hosting the program in 2019.
This program has been one of the PGA of BC's most effective grow-the-game initiatives, introducing nearly 3,500 youth to our sport since its inception in 2014. Last year, Canucks Junior Golf Week once again realized record participation with more than 800 girls and boys participating in one of 44 camps held across the province.

PGA of BC members can earn two (2) PDP points for each session in which they serve as an instructor.
New for 2019, facilities that have demonstrated high demand in past years will be permitted to host a third session during the week.
Facility registration will close on
Monday, April 1 at 12 p.m. PT.

Bryn Parry
(Point Grey Golf & Country Club) both carded a 67 to share second place and take home $400 apiece. Click below for full results.
