RICHMOND, BC (PGA of British Columbia) - The PGA of BC is thrilled to announce an expanded Women’s Golf Week, with Dexim Golfwear returning as the presenting sponsor. Women’s Golf Week is an annual initiative running May 30 to June 6, 2023 to engage, empower and support women and girls in golf, leading to a culmination with International Women's Golf Day on June 6. Facilities and professionals are encouraged to register for Women’s Golf Day and support the established network of facilities participating around the globe. Facilities throughout BC will be hosting events to celebrate the women helping drive the BC golf industry forward as professionals and to encourage women’s participation in the sport.
New this year, Dexim Golfwear and the Association will be awarding bursaries to support Women’s Golf Week celebrations in BC. Four bursaries of $700 will be awarded to recipients, one from each region of the province: the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior, and the Kootenays & Northern BC. Bursaries will be awarded to facilities and professionals that host women’s golf events, tournaments or celebrations during Women’s Golf Week 2023. Affiliated facilities and PGA professionals who register to participate are automatically entered into a draw to win one of the four bursaries. Please click here to enter your facility into the draw. Winners will be selected live on Instagram at 12 p.m. on May 24.
Dexim Golfwear is excited to once again champion Women's Golf Week said Dean Walker, BC Sales Representative for the brand.
"My mother, Maryanne Bennett, is a great player who won the BC Senior Women's Championship a few years ago. She has always encouraged and inspired me to support women's golf, and I'm proud to help grow the game with Dexim," said Walker.
We will also showcase some of the formidable women in our Association through written features and video documentaries. Starting next week, we will be publishing feature articles on several women who demonstrate an incredible commitment to their club, community and Association. Furthermore, with Par Six Golf’s generous support and impressive content creation abilities, we are excited to release a series of video documentaries highlighting professionals from around the province. The Association is grateful to Par Six Golf for their strong support of women’s golf.
