It is with great sadness that British Columbia Golf learns of the passing of former Distinguished Service Award recipient, Margaret Wright at the age of 84.
Following is an excerpt from the Times Colonist in Victoria. The complete published obituary can be found here.
MARGARET WRIGHT - March 01, 1941-November 26, 2025, Victoria, BC
Peggy loved all sports but golf was her passion. She spent her first years of golf at Ardmore and Glen Meadows where she served as Ladies Captain before moving to Royal Colwood in 1995. She joined District 1, now Zone 5, Ladies Committee in 1986 serving in many capacities, including Publicity, Treasurer, Rules and mainly Course Rating.
She served on the Provincial Board of the BCLGA for 4 years as Provincial Course Rater, then on to the Board of the amalgamated British Columbia Golf for 3 years as the Chair of the Course Rating Committee. She became a Master Course Rater and not only rated courses all across the province but also became an instructor in the Course Rating process which she thoroughly enjoyed.
In 2004 she received the President's Award from Sport BC and in 2008 she received the Distinguished Service Award from British Columbia Golf for her volunteering services. She treasured both awards.
