A lovely surprise for a lovely lady as Margaret Rogers of Arbutus Ridge Golf Club was presented with the 2017 – Zone 5 Volunteer Recognition Award at Arbutus Ridge’s Awards Night.  Long time friend and club member, Diane Cook, did the honours, listing the many Club and Zone positions Marg has held (over 16 years), plus the numerous Zone, BC Golf and Golf Canada events to which she has volunteered. 

A further surprise was the attendance of daughters, Cheryl & Donna who live on the Island.  Unfortunately, daughter Lynda, visiting from Detroit, was unable to change her plans to stay over for the festivities. 

Four members of the Zone Committee traveled up the Malahat to surprise Marg and enjoy the beautiful dinner.

Congratulations, Marg, the Award is well deserved.  

It took 27 years, but SHIRLEY GRANGER and MARY MALANCHUK of Cedar Hill Golf Club, have again put theirs and their club’s name on the Zone Foursomes Cup as the 2017 Tournament Champions.  A hard fought battle with Doreen & Glenna Sharratt of Bear Mtn., it all came down to the last putt on the last hole at Uplands Golf Club. 

Congratulations to all Winners and Runners-Up.  To those that did not make the winner’s or runner-ups circle, thank you so much for participating and supporting this great tournament.  Next year, 2018, will be the 70th  Anniversary of the Foursomes so be sure to make plans now to join the party!!!! 

Our sincere thanks to Allan R. Green of National Bank Financial, Wealth Management for their continued support of women’s golf.
