"Top 50 Tracks - The Pro's Picks" to be released later this Summer

Richmond, B.C. (July 16, 2012) - The PGA of British Columbia has partnered with Inside Golf Magazine to develop a golf course ranking system for British Columbia.  The "PGA of BC Top 50 Tracks - The Pro's Picks presented by Inside Golf" will be released later this summer, with active members of the PGA of BC receiving their electronic survey this week. 

Golf Professional's will be asked to select their top three choices from across the province, their best local course, and a hidden gem that deserves greater recognition.  In all cases the Professional is not permitted to respond with their own facility.  

Says Inside Golf Inc. Publisher, Jeff Sutherland, "We have long thought that the PGA of Canada professionals were perfectly positioned to identify the 'best-of-the-best'  across the province. They know the game, plus they know and have played the courses. The opportunity to partner with the PGA of BC to identify these facilities is a project we are very excited to be part of."

"We are extremely excited to partner with Inside Golf Magazine with this project. It's a great opportunity to showcase some of the many great golf courses that we are lucky to have in British Columbia", added PGA of BC Executive Director, Donald Miyazaki.  

"With some of the most trusted figures in golf, professionals will provide an honest assessment of all of these facilities throughout the province. This list will not only give deserving golf courses greater profile, but will also bring exposure to some of the lesser known properties when you consider value, conditioning, course layout, and service".
