The PGA of British Columbia named its top 100 professionals of 2018 this week, and nearly a quarter of them hail from the Okanagan and the surrounding area.

The Okanagan and surrounding communities had 23 people crack the top 100 list, which is an indication of how strong the sport and business side of it is in the area.

The list is determined by the organization’s professional development program, which recognizes PGA of B.C. members who make outstanding contributions to the association, their communities, the golf industry and themselves.

“Sunice and Bobby Jones proudly support the professional development program, as we feel it is important to acknowledge individuals working to elevate the overall profile of PGA of BC professionals and who are actively involved in service to the association,” Sunice and Bobby Jones B.C. sales representative Stephen Graham said in a press release.

“The top 100 golf professionals of 2018 are once again an impressive group of individuals demonstrating key qualities such as leadership, professionalism and dedication to their craft.”
