Vancouver, B.C.– The month of May, all of GolfBC’s 9 golf courses in British Columbia will be participating in “GolfBC Free Lesson Month” on Saturdays. The GolfBC Group is pleased to follow-up the launch of their 2005 Learn to Play, Play More Often programs, “Kids Play Free at GolfBC”, “Beginner Friendly Certification” and “Take-a-kid to the Course Week” (in partnership with the NGCOA). “GolfBC Free Lesson Month” is the fourth of many initiatives that has been launched by GolfBC since 2005, under the “Learn to Play, Play More Often” banner.
Participating courses are Nicklaus North, Furry Creek, Mayfair Lakes, The Bear and The Quail at The Okanagan Golf Club, Gallagher’s Canyon and The Pinnacle, Arbutus Ridge, and Olympic View. “GolfBC Free Lesson Month” will be offered at all properties on Saturdays during the month of May from 4:00 to 6:00 PM and each facility will have a Canadian PGA instructor on the practice tee providing complimentary 10 minute instruction and tips.  Range balls and equipment will also be provided at no charge during the free lesson times.
“GolfBC Free Lesson Month” is another wonderful opportunity for GolfBC to strengthen our commitment to Growing the Game of Golf”, said Andy Hedley, Vice President of Operations, GolfBC British Columbia. “We are committed to providing a fun and enjoyable atmosphere to learn the game at all of our facilities, and “GolfBC Free Lesson Month” is an opportunity for new golfers to receive an introduction to the game while offering all golfers a chance to receive a tip from one of our Canadian PGA Professionals”, he added.
