20th Annual Women's Media Golf Classic

June 13, 2007 - The BCGA proudly participated in the 2007 Women’s Media Golf Classic held at Country Meadows on June 13. The staff at the BCGA helped in raising more than $108,000.00 for a very special charity, Variety – The Children’s Charity.

It was a gorgeous day with 200 fabulous golfers enjoying a “hot afternoon” of golfing, or at least pretending to golf. The BCGA was proud to sponsor the first hole and provide a golf pro for some useful on-site tips for the day. As a special gift for every participant, Gicoo Golf of China provided a Beijing Opera golf ball as a special keepsake.
