From The Editors July 27th, 2021

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you can see the latest version of Brad Ziemer's BC Golf notes which includes at look at a clutch performance last week in the PGA TOUR's 3M Open by Abbotsford's Adam Hadwin which should help in his quest to maintain status on tour for next year.

Brad also has reports on the BC Amateur and BC Senior Women's champions. Sadly he also writes about the passing of longtime Province Sports writer and great friend of golf, Kent 'Cookie' Gilchrist.

In addition, we would like to bring your attention to the First Tee of British Columbia as it launches the first chapter of the national First Tee program run by Golf Canada.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
