From The Editors June 30th, 2020

In this edition of British Columbia Golf's newsletter, Brad Ziemer reports on the return of British Columbia Golf's championships with approved Covid-19 protocols.

There is also news on the 3 new chapters BC Golf has under the umbrella of the LPGA Amateur Golf Association and, unfortunately, the 2020 CP Women's Open scheduled for Shaughnessy G&CC this fall has had to be postponed until 2021.

Ziemer has some great profiles as well on BC's Nick Taylor, Stuart Macdonald and new Rivershore Golf Links Head Pro, Kate Weir.

Enjoy your golf and please stay safe,
