BC Golf is also getting involved. As part of this year's Women's Golf Day celebration, British Columbia Golf is holding a 'Cloud Scramble'. Just form your own 4-person team and play an 18-hole scramble round by June 1st. All players play from the best tee shot position and finish the hole out that way.
There will be prizes drawn from the scorecard images entered by each team, thus the 'awards' are strictly based on participation. One Club already committed is Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club and Club Captain Marie-Anne Nason is excited about participating,"We are entering a few teams for the week of June 1. Let me know if there are additional activities we might want to participate in!"
Players sign up by sending an email with their team name and player names to Tyler McKay – tyler@britishcolumbiagolf.org
