September is historically the driest month of the year and October we can see some great golf weather ... lots of golf left! The BC Golf House will be busy as well with five more hickory golf events on the schedule. Hopefully our paths will cross.
In October please watch for our 2011 membership drive to be launched. As you have read before, membership is the lifeblood of any organization and the BC Golf House is no different. We will be moving to an annual renewal initiative for the 2011 year starting in the fourth quarter of each year. we will look forward to your ongoing support!
Remember, golf is the game of a lifetime! Encourage a friend or relative to learn to play this year!
Sincerely,
Barrie McWha
Executive Director

More Hickory Golf Events
On July 26 the BC Golf House took the Cleveland Golf Srixon hickory golf KP contest to the Cops for Cancer tournament at Cowichan GC. The hole, proudly sponsored by the central island region RBC, was a big hit. We also have to thank Bruce Williams of A Channel for making all the arrangements.
RBC Manager at Woodgrove Nanaimo, Anne Kuzminski, was on hand to help.
The hickory golf events calendar continues to be active. On September 2, the BC Golf House volunteers will be at Northview GC to participate in the Semiahmoo House Society event, and on September 18th we will be at the Golf Fore Gals windup at Green Acres GC. On September 29th we will be at Hazelmere G&CC for the Aquaform Tournament.
In October, BC Golf House volunteers will travel on the 1st to Vancouver Island for the Vancouver Island University tournament at Fairwinds GC. On October 16th, we are booked for the Capilano GC Men's Closing Day.

The Tradition Golf Classic at the
Victoria Golf Club
 This year, thanks to the efforts of Scott Keenlyside, General Manager at the Island View Golf Centre and a former President of the Golf House Society, and the generous support of the Victoria GC, we will be holding a Golf House fundraising tournament in Victoria on October 4th.
The event will be the same format as The Traditions held in Vancouver, team stableford with gross points and full team handicap added after. It is a small field of only forty players and some foursomes have already been filled. The entry fee is $200 and includes tee gifts, golf, dinner and prizes. Golfers wishing to enjoy a special day of golf at a very special golf course may enter as singles, pairs or with a foursome.

 MARK YOUR CALENDARS....On Monday, May 16th, 2011, The Vancouver Golf Club is the site for the 2011 Tradition Golf Classic. The BC Golf House Society is privileged to be able to offer this wonderful club as the host course for our most important fund raising activity of the year.
