President’s Message
SUMMER 2026
Showcasing the Work Strengthening Our Industry
As summer settles in across British Columbia, our golf courses are in full stride. Summer is one of the most demanding times of year in our profession. Weather challenges, staffing pressures, tournament schedules, irrigation demands, and the daily expectations of golfers all require careful planning and steady leadership. Yet across the province, our members continue to demonstrate the resilience, professionalism, and expertise that define golf course management in British Columbia.
Golf continues to enjoy a resurgence, with rounds played and revenues increasing across the province. It is encouraging to see many facilities reinvesting in irrigation infrastructure and golf course improvements as a result. Keep sending in your photos for the Dogwood, we love seeing construction projects, renovations, and the improvements taking place at courses throughout British Columbia.
Recognizing Industry Partners Who Elevate Our Work
One thing that has always impressed me with this industry is the support we receive from our industry partners. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to our industry partners and sponsors. Their support goes far beyond products and services. Through sponsorship, technical expertise, educational contributions, and ongoing involvement, they play an important role in helping our association and our members succeed. Many of the events, programs, and opportunities we enjoy throughout the year would not be possible without their commitment.
As members, I encourage you to support the companies that support the BCGSA whenever possible. Strong partnerships between golf course superintendents and industry suppliers help ensure a healthy and vibrant future for our association and our profession.
Wishing you a safe, successful, and rewarding summer season. I hope to see many of you at the Exchange Event at The Okanagan Golf Club in August.
Sincerely,
Mark Berg
