INSIDE THIS ISSUE

In this issue of The Scorecard , our cover story on page 12 could be categorized as the next installment in 'The NeverEnding Story' as Brad Ziemer chronicles the latest achievements by Nanoose Bay's Shelly Stouffer. Stouffer, picking up right where she left off after an incredible 2022 season, captured both the BC Women's Mid-Amateur & Mid-Master titles at Sandpiper Resort in Harrison Mills at the season-opening BCGolf Championship event. Both the men's & women's Mid-Amateur/Mid-Master events were held concurrently and Ziemer has the accounts of the men's champions on page 32. Along with those wrap-ups we also have the story on UBC's men's golf team winning the 2nd NAIA National Championship in its program

history on page 24. You can also read how Surrey's Lauren Kim qualified for her second straight U.S. Women's Open, taking place at Pebble Beach this summer. Any Family Feud game show fans will be excited to find out how you & your family can be on the show with host and golf fanatic Gerry Dee on page 29.

Everybody has their favourites list for a number of activities. Golfers are no exception and can be particularly fond of listing favourite places to play. We'd like you to let us know what are your favourite public golf courses in British Columbia and win a prize in the process, you can check that out on page 14.

We have all that and much more in this edition of The Scorecard, so please enjoy.
