The British Columbia Golf Association as it exists today was formally established on October 1, 2004 following the amalgamation of the British Columbia Ladies Golf Association Golf Association (BCLGA) and the British Columbia Golf Association (BCGA).

The BCGA is the governing body of amateur golf in British Columbia and functions for the benefit of all golfers in the Province. Through its affiliation with the Royal Canadian Golf Association, (RCGA) the Association is also involved in National golf affairs.

A voluntary Board of Directors, composed of elected representatives from Member Clubs and two RCGA Governors, meets a minimum of twice per year. Directors serve a two-year term and may be re-elected.

The Association is truly indebted for the contributions made by the Directors, Officers, RCGA Governors and Honorary Directors who give so generously of their time and effort in the interests of golf in British Columbia.

The Executive Director and staff are responsible for the day-to-day operation and the general administration duties of the Association.

The history of the BCGA can be traced back to the first men’s championship conducted in 1893. The Bostock Trophy was awarded to the Men’s Amateur Champion starting in 1894. The Flumerfelt Trophy was first awarded to the Women’s Amateur Champion in 1905. These trophies are still awarded today.
