Canada’s best amateur golfer is now a pro and Jared du Toit will tell you that feels a little different.

Go low or go home. That message was sent rather emphatically to those attempting to Monday qualify their way into this week’s GolfBC Championship.

Sunday, May 28 was Get Out and Golf Day here in Canada... I’d like to propose something a little different. I hereby declare June here in British Columbia to be Get Out and Watch Some Golf Month.

Selecting tees that suit your ability and swing speed will make the game more fun. You know what I call a 440-yard par 4? A par 5.

Well, I guess we smug West Coasters now know how the rest of Canada feels. British Columbia golfers -- at least those of us living in the southwest corner of the province -- have enjoyed bragging about how we can golf year-round here in God’s country. Then this past winter happened.
