EDITOR'S DESK

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

In this last issue of The Scorecard for 2022, our cover story on page 12 comes from BCGolf's hall of fame writer/reporter, Brad Ziemer. In a year that has witnessed some pretty amazing events, Brad takes a look back at what he sees as the 10 Best BCGolf stories from 2022. Brad also has some interesting updates on golf courses around the province, including what's happening at Redwoods GCin Langley due to the Trans Mountain Pipeline situation (page 26), the Les Furber redo of a Greg Norman design in Peachland (page 24), a very 'ambitious' renovation taking place at Chilliwack GC (page 36) and the challenges Shaughnessy G&CCfaces in preparing to host the 2023 CP Women's Open next summer in Vancouver on page 28.

In addition to Brad's reports, we also have a fascinating interview from Women's Golf Project contributor, Karen Kloske, as she spoke with Nanoose Bay's Shelly Stouffer. Karen sheds a little more light on the Canadian and U.S. Senior Women's Amateur Champion from 2022 in her 'Getting To Know BC's Shelly Stouffer, A Champion On And Off The Golf Course' story on page 38. We also have a look at what is taking place with the First Tee - Canada program, helping to empower youth through golf on page 20. We're also pleased to pass along on page 18 that 'Women's Golf Day' will be a week-long celebration this year. All of us at British Columbia Golf want to wish everyone a happy & healthy holiday season and all the best for the New Year.
