Par Six isn’t just another marketing agency—we’re the rule-breaking, revenue-driving, brand-elevating force your golf course didn’t know it needed. We don’t do fluff, and we don’t settle for “just okay.” We transform golf brands into must-play, must-follow, impossible-to-ignore destinations.

With a team of golf-obsessed creatives, Par Six brings a sharp, strategic, and sassy approach to marketing. We specialize in brand identity, social media strategy, photography, video production, web design, and digital advertising—all designed to do one thing: fill your tee sheet and grow your revenue.

We don’t just know golf; we live it. That’s why private clubs, golf resorts, and e-commerce golf brands trust us to cut through the noise and deliver marketing that actually works. No vanity metrics, no outdated playbooks—just smart, impactful strategies built to get real results.

Already working with multiple PGA of BC facilities, Par Six is expanding its impact across the industry. As a preferred partner of the PGA of BC, you’ll be seeing more of our team at events throughout the province—capturing content, driving engagement, and showcasing what makes golf irresistible.

Want to see what happens when marketing meets creativity, strategy, and a little bit of swagger? Learn more about Par Six on their website and let’s make your course stand out.

Harvest Golf Club Teaching Professional Jeff Overholt will host an online Information Session next month. Overholt's presentation, titled "From 0 to 100: My last four years in growing our Junior Program post-Covid, using Operation36," will introduce attendees to the Operation36 program and explain how it can be deployed at their club.

The Information Session will take place Monday, March 25 at 9:00am PT. This Information Session will be FREE for all PGA of BC members and will be hosted via Zoom. Members wishing to attend the Information Session can register for the event HERE.

Operation 36 is a player development program designed to introduce golfers of all ages and skill levels to the game through a structured, measurable, and engaging approach. The program challenges participants to start from 25 yards out and progress incrementally to shooting par (36) for nine holes. With expert coaching, on-course experience, and a community-driven model, Operation 36 has become a leading development pathway for golfers looking to improve and enjoy the game.

Via British Columbia Golf

With the 2025 golf season fast approaching, British Columbia Golf invites your club to get involved with the 2025 British Columbia Golf Cloud Series.

The 2025 Cloud Series will consist of six tournaments, one per month from April through September. Players will have the last 20 days of each month to participate in a team format and post their scores to Golf Genius. One of the exciting aspects of the Cloud Series is that players can play any course in the province and compare their scores against other golfers.

For the past two seasons, the Cloud Series has been a Women's event only. In 2025, BC Golf is excited to announce the addition of a Men's division, allowing all golfers in BC to enjoy these fun formats. There is absolutely no cost to golfers or clubs to participate in Cloud Series events.

For more detailed information on how your club can get involved, please click here.

April Event Registration is now open.
