As this event served a process in employment-related certification, the Association determined it to be a work-related function for the purpose of essential travel. However, Wednesday’s PAT observed a number of precautions to safeguard participants, PGA of BC administration team members, and patrons and staff at Rivershore Golf Links due to continued public-health circumstances.
The PGA of BC will be administering up to three more PAT opportunities during the 2021 season, each to take place in a different region of the province. The next scheduled PAT is set for June 21 at Arbutus Ridge Golf Club, which has now reached capacity. Further PATs are planned for July 13 at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and Sept. 7 at Belmont Golf Course.
