Distinguished Service Award Nomination Form
Zone Council
British Columbia is divided into eight zones (see below). The majority of zones have both a men’s and women’s committee (although they can be combined). Each zone has an operating agreement with British Columbia Golf. The operating agreement commits the zone to:
- Promoting golf within their geographical location
- Conducting tournaments and championships within their zone for different age groups and genders. These include, but are not limited to:
- Juniors
- Amateurs
- Seniors
Many of the zones have other activities which they perform on behalf of member clubs within the zone. These activities do not fall under the operating agreement.
The zone council composition includes a representative from each zone committee who act as an advisory group to the British Columbia Golf Board of Directors on matters of importance at the zone level.
