From The Editors October 19th, 2021

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter you can see the latest version of Brad Ziemer's BC Golf notes including the Dubai-inspired 'night golf' project getting set to open at BC's Delta Golf Course, along with the 'top of the class' performances from a couple of BC's Ivy League standouts down south and much more.

We also have the latest ModGolf podcast courtesy of show creator and host Colin Weston as he speaks with Chris Noble, the Manager for NextGenGolf's National High School Golf Association, who shares the meaningful work he passionately takes on with The PGA of America and the support he provides for the LGBTQ+ community.

Lastly, we are saddened to have to pass along the news of the loss of two more of BC's wonderful individuals and contributing volunteers as we recently have had to say goodbye to Lynne Powlik and Helen Steeves.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe.
