Dear Editor,
The Bowen Island Golf Club was delighted to be one of many Bowen and West Vancouver businesses showcasing themselves on a sunny and beautiful Saturday at BICS. Thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth to learn more about the course and enter our raffle. The raffle winners will be called to pick up their prizes at the pro shop or the Cup Cutter, the latter which re-opens on April 2nd, from Thursday to Sunday until we go seven (7) days a week in the high season.
Those who attended the showcase would have been able to review Glenn Cormier’s plans for the new Bowen Island Pub which was the subject of one of the most upbeat, positive and supportive Public Hearings on February 25th, that I have ever attended. Now that was a love-in! Onward and upward.
On a sadder note, it is with great sadness I note the passing of Herb Paterson on February 24th thirteen days after his 90th birthday. Herb was a friend to everyone, an icon in the golf industry and director of the Bowen Island Golf Club. As can be seen in his obituary, he lived a very full and active life. Our condolences to wife Emilie and his family. A Celebration of Life is being planned, at a date yet to be chosen at the Capilano Golf & Country Club.
Yours truly,
R. B. (Bruce) Russell
