BC Golf Hall of Fame to Grow By Four
It was announced today that the BC Golf Hall of Fame will grow by four new Members this year, bringing the total number of inductees to 25. The BC Golf House & Museum Society began recognizing B.C.'s best golfers in 2001 and the Hall of Fame can be visited at the BC Golf House on the grounds of University Golf Club. This year’s induction ceremony will take place on October 22nd.
Leading the list of this year’s nominees is Richard (Dick) Zokel. Zokel is known primarily for his professional accomplishments including two PGA Tour wins, a Canadian PGA Championship and a BC Open along with his 5 appearances on Canada's Dunhill Cup Team and our country's World Team twice. His amateur record is equally impressive with a Vancouver City and District Championship in 1977, a BCGA Invitational victory in 1978 and a Canadian Amateur in 1981. His amateur team record includes being a Member of the Canadian World Amateur and B.C. Willingdon Cup Teams in 1980 and 1981. He also tacked on an NCAA Championship while at Bringham Young in 81. He is currently the visionary, designer and operator of the Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club in the Nicola Valley, which has recently been named Canada's Best New Golf Course by SCOREGolf Magazine for 2009.
Alison Murdoch, who has only been a B.C. resident since 2000, plays out of the Victoria Golf Club and has one of the most unbelievable 10 year records in all of amateur golf. In addition to her perfect record of 10 BCGA Zone 5 Senior Women's Championships she also has 5 BCGA Zone 5 Women's Championships which go along with 4 Canadian Senior Women's Titles, 3 Irish Senior Women's victories and a British Women's Senior Championship. She also has victories at the PNGA Senior Women's and Mid-Amateur Championships.
Jackie Little's induction to the Hall of Fame seems particularly well timed as she has just wrapped up her title defence at the Canadian Senior Women's Amateur making her 2 for 2 since becoming eligible for the event. She has 5 BCGA Women's Amateur titles, the first dating back to 1992, the last in 2003 along with 3 B.C. Women's Mid-Amateur titles. She has won the Zone 2 Amateur 10 times, the Zone 6 title twice and the Zone 6 Senior Women's Amateur once to go along with 11 appearances on the B.C. Women's Amateur Team, 4 times on the B.C. Mid-Amateur Team and twice playing on the B.C. Senior Women's Team.
Steve Berry has a pile of championships from the 70's through the 90's! His list of victories is almost as long as his list of runner-up finishes. He has victories in the B.C. Junior, B.C. Amateur, BCGA Invitational, B.C. Mid-Amateur, Vancouver City Match Play, Vancouver City and District and the Vancouver Island Match Play. He is an 11 time Willingdon Cup B.C. Team Member, a two time Member of the BCGA Mid-Amateur Team, three times a Member of B.C. Senior’s Teams and three times a Member of PNGA Morse Cup Team.
Tickets for the B.C. Golf Hall of Fame dinner are available through the BC Golf House & Museum by calling 604-222-4653 and are $125 each or a table of 8 for $900. The B.C. Golf Hall of Fame was created and is administered by the BC Golf House & Museum Society and can be visited on the web at http://bcgolfmuseum.org or in person on the grounds of University Golf Club on the corner of 10th Avenue and Blanca streets.

Daniel Brown takes the B.C. Amateur title
DUNCAN, B.C. – Daniel Brown of Kelowna, B.C. captured British Columbia’s top amateur golf title today, firing a final round 5-under par 67 to win the 2009 B.C. Amateur Championship by one stroke at 11-under 277.
“It was great to play at a level I know I’m capable of,” says Brown. “It’s hard to put together four good rounds but I knew I had it in me.”
Brown, who plays out of Creston Golf Club but calls the range his second home won the 2009 Ogopogo early this summer and is looking to pick up even more of the momentum of late. Brown has three young children at home and finds it very difficult to fit in rounds.
“I don’t get in many rounds and really only have time for the driving range,” says Brown. “I don’t just get out there and drive the balls. I create a course in my head and play it out.”
Brown's final round included six birdies and just one bogey.

Yesterday’s leader, Brady Johnson of Mill Bay, B.C. was on a rampage through the front nine at 5-under but carded a triple-bogey on the 13th hole and a double on the 16th to finish in second at 10-under 278.
Kevin Carrigan pulled out a 6-under par 66 to storm up the leaderboard to finish tied with Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C. at 6-under par 282. Wong prevailed in a four hole playoff for the final spot on the B.C. Willingdon Cup Team and third place.
The Willingdon Cup Team representing B.C. for the 2009 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Club de golf Le Blainvillier in Blainville, QC, August 9-13 will be, Daniel Brown, Brady Johnson, Eugene Wong and Nick Taylor.
Selection of the Willingdon Cup team representing B.C. at the Canadian Men’s Amateur this year was based on the low 3 finishers in the tournament. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. was named to the four-man Willingdon Cup team last week even though he did not compete in the B.C. Amateur Championship – he accepted an exemption into the U.S. Public Links running the same week.
A complete list of players, starting times and post-round results for the 108th playing of the British Columbia Amateur Championship can be found at www.bcga.org.

Canadian Junior Golf Association
The Canadian Junior Golf Association hosts events across Western Canada. The association is dedicated to providing high level competition and instruction to Canada's junior golfers. The CJGA competitive developmental program begins at the age of five where beginning golfers are introduced to the game through the CJGA Junior Linkster Program. The program continues to reflect the appropriate skill level and progression of junior golfers through its Junior Program that offers over 80 tour stops across Canada and includes regional, provincial, and national championships.
Stephen Ames is a strong supporter of the CJGA and this year will be hosting the 5th annual Stephen Ames Cup in Calgary, Alberta at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in August. The three day event is fully hosted by Stephen pitting ten of Canada's finest junior golfers against a team from Trinidad & Tobago. "Junior golfers in Canada will continue to improve by participating in the CJGA's programs," said Ames. "The experience juniors will gain through participation in professionally run multi-day tournaments will go a long way to developing both the mental and physical aspects of becoming a successful golfer."
Many of the 2009 events will be hosted at NGCOA member courses. The first two events on the CJGA national schedule have already taken place in British Columbia. The first event was held at Northview Golf & Country Club and the second at Hazelmere Golf Course both in Surrey, BC. Despite the extremely wet and cold conditions at both courses impressive under par scores were shot by juniors participating in both events. Upcoming CJGA Stephen Ames Cup qualifying events will take place across Canada at Whistler Golf Club in Whistler, BC, Riverbend Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, Wolf Creek Golf Resort in Ponoka Alberta, Tor Hill Golf Course in Regina Saskatchewan and Larters Golf & Country Club in St. Andrews, Manitoba.
