Dear Editor,
Your May 26th issue was full of good stories as to the happiness enjoyed by many locals and visitors from the overdue arrival of sunny, warm weather on the May long weekend.
A BIG congratulations to the Puri family for their repeat success as the winning team in the Bowen Island Golf Club’s Community Challenge, which proves “the family that golfs together, stays together.” Kudos to the Miller Landing/Mannion Bay communities for fielding three teams. As to any concern about the liberal determination of boundaries to form, not “stack”, our teams, we are universal in our thinking and consider the island as one big, happy community. We would welcome a defection of some of our “borderline” members playing for their closer-to-home team next year, as long as they have a foursome and get a chance to play in THE EVENT that defines our course for what it was intended to be, and is…a community course. It has brought people together far beyond anyone’s expectations.
Thank you to Reverend Bob Miller for the lovely carved trophy and thanks to Jill Purdy for organizing, her mother Gwynneth Rogers involvement in co-donating it, and having it named after her and the iconic Rogers family. Isn’t sunshine great!
Bruce Russell
