By Brad Ziemer: The road to the PGA TOUR has become a much more circuitous journey than it once was. There are no longer any shortcuts. Gone are the days when a player could catch lightning in a bottle at Qualifying School and earn a ticket straight to golf’s promised land.

It's an exciting season for golf fashions with plenty of updated styles and flattering colour palettes to choose from, and this is the time of year boxes and boxes of inventory are arriving at all GolfBC courses!

The winter is a great time to look at Clubhouse and course renovations - unless Mother Nature throws us a curveball that requires all hands on deck to save the greens!

After three years at GolfBC's Arbutus Ridge Golf Club, an opportunity came up for Brett to move "down the road" to lead Olympic View's maintenance team.

You may have noticed a couple of times each season that your favourite course is closed for aeration. To sum up why we aerate - it is for preventative maintenance to keep those greens rolling true when you make that clutch putt!
