PARTNER SPOTLIGHT - HARMONIX GOLF 
The Harmonix concept was inspired many years ago by Founder Dorn Beattie in a game with his Father, the late William H. Beattie. His dad was a wonderful golfer and loved the game until he passed away. Even in his last days, there was a 19th hole flag near his bed and his trusty putter within easy reach. 

The Harmonix concept was chatted about on many occasions but life, and death, got in the way. In late 2014, Beattie began building the first prototype in his shop.  In early 2015, patents were applied for, machined heads and hosels were underway, and the accumulation of exotic woods and construction of the beautiful shaft began. 

Harmonix Golf is a silver level preferred partner of the PGA of BC, and Co-Presenting Sponsor of the PGA of BC Awards Celebration. For more information about Harmonix Golf, please click here.
