Juvenile Boys'/Girls' - British Columbia Golf Association

British Columbia Golf - a member-based organization governed by the British Columbia Golf Association (BCGA)
- represents more than 55,000 individual golfers, in over 300 clubs at 270 member courses. As the governing body
for golf in the province, British Columbia Golf acts as a voice in provincial golf affairs and functions as a resource
centre for the golf industry. Through its affiliation with Golf Canada, BC Golf is also involved in national golf
affairs.
British Columbia Golf as it exists today was formally established on October 1, 2004, following the amalgamation
of the British Columbia Ladies Golf Association (BCLGA) and the British Columbia Golf Association (BCGA).
Although the origins of the Association date back to 1893, British Columbia Golf was incorporated with a mandate
to hold the B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship on April 14, 1922, with J.E. Hall of Vancouver Golf Club elected
the first president. The B.C. branch of the CLGA was not formed until 1932. Other goals of British Columbia Golf
were to encourage regions around the province to form local associations, to conduct a local championship and to
standardize the Rules of Golf among the representative clubs.
Our mission is “British Columbia Golf fosters and promotes the sport of golf, preserves the traditions and history of
the sport of golf and provides a leadership role for the sport of golf in British Columbia”.
Effective November 1, 2010, with the full approval of the Associations Board of Director’s, the British Columbia
Golf Association (BCGA) became known as “British Columbia Golf”, a member-based organization governed by
the BCGA.
Our brand as ‘British Columbia Golf’ is extremely important to us and we would request that all media outlets, golf
facilities and stakeholders utilize the name as such. Any reference to the Provincial Sport Organization for golf
should be ‘British Columbia Golf’. The shortest form that our name should be abbreviated to in any print material is
“BC Golf”.
We appreciate your support in building and supporting our brand.
