Richmond, BC (March 18, 2015)– The PGA of British Columbia is proud to announce a new partnership with Russian Standard Vodka as a Preferred Partner of the Association.

Their company’s concept of their continuous pursuit of perfection aligns well with the brand of PGA of BC members and we are excited to see the opportunities that lie ahead” says Grant Gray, Sales Manager at the PGA of BC.
