From The Editors July 14th, 2020

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, we welcome back 'Ziemer's BC Golf Notes' as prepared by Brad Ziemer where he takes a weekly tour around the province to bring us news and notes of what's happening in the game across BC.

As well as the notes column, Brad has a few more stories sure to be of interest, not the least of which is the unfortunate end, albeit for a very special family celebration, to 13-time BC Amateur Champion Doug Roxburgh's streak of competing in 53 consecutive Amateur Championships.

Many will also enjoy Brad's story on the 'Super' dogs, the four-legged friends who assistant many of BC's Golf Course Superintendents. And it's time to 'Take A Kid To The Course' so read about that program and much more just by clicking on the stories below.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
