As a prelude to the BC Summer Games there will be a number of qualifying events at various sites and that will hold true for golf as well. You can find general information and more details on zone qualifying for golf to take part in the games below.

ABBOTSFORD — When it comes to his golf, Taylor Durham has always been something of a late bloomer.

He wasn’t quite good enough in high school to get an opportunity to compete collegiately, but Durham’s passion for the game kept him playing and he got better. A lot better.

The Spring Tour Series is BACK!

Vancouver, BC – Zone 3 & 4 (encompassing the regions of the Fraser Valley, Delta, Greater Vancouver, Squamish & the Sunshine Coast) Junior Girls Chairs Christine Wong and Ezzabella Hernandez are proud to announce its 2023 Spring Tour Series schedule.

The golf season is just around the corner and after a very successful 2022 season, the planning is underway to continue the momentum into the 2023 season. In what should be another great year for championship golf in BC, 2023 will include some great courses for our junior girls.

We are excited to announce the first Women’s Golf Cloud Series – Presented by British Columbia Golf. We received rave reviews from the Women’s Cloud Scramble Event that we hosted each of the past two years, so we decided to expand and turn it into a series of six events. There will be one event per month from April to September...

Golf is not only a hard game, it’s also an extremely difficult business. Think about it. There’s a lot more to operating a golf course than simply ringing in green fees.

There’s the food and beverage side of the operation. There’s the agronomy side of the business. There’s staff to recruit, manage and retain in today’s challenging environment and so much more...

CHASE, British Columbia — Seven final-round birdies weren’t enough, so Patrick Weeks made one more. The longtime Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club member birdied the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to beat Brent Pound of Kamloops and win the B.C. Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Talking Rock Golf Course.

“This is amazing,” said Weeks. “I honestly can’t believe it is true. I have been second so many times — [in 2021] at the B.C. Amateur, then I lost in a playoff at Big Sky in the Mid-Am in 2014. This is redemption. I was two shots back the last time the Mid-Am was here at Talking Rock [in 2015] and they called off the final round due to rain. So this is poetic justice.”

CHASE, British Columbia — Nonie Marler led from start to finish at the B.C. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have to overcome a little adversity along the way.

During the final round at Talking Rock Golf Course, Marler was cruising along with a three-shot lead when her tee ball on the par 4 13th hole sailed slightly right, struck the top of a tall tree, and was never seen again. 

No one saw it come down — there’s a good chance it remained up in the tree V and suddenly Marler was under some pressure.

Marine Drive is set to host a new competitive Junior Tournament this coming summer. The Invitational will be catered to highly competitive golfers looking to test their skills at a premier golf club.

UBC’s Elizabeth Labbe shot a final-round 4-under-par 68 to erase a 4-stroke deficit to earn medalist honours, helping the Thunderbirds claim their second Cascade Conference Women’s Golf Championship and 10th straight victory of the season at Eagle Point Golf Club.

The golf season is very much upon us here in British Columbia and a number of events are getting back on track as we move carefully away from the cancellations and postponements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last couple of years.
