During a 30-year career with the Vancouver Sun newspaper which began in 1985 and included the role of sports editor for five years before returning to his true passion of sports reporting, Brad Ziemer established himself as one of the premier golf writers not only in British Columbia but in all of Canada. He has covered virtually every significant golf event in British Columbia, both amateur and professional, over the last few decades, including seven PGA TOUR events in Surrey. In 2013, Golf Canada presented him with its Distinguished Service Award, making him only the second B.C. golf writer to receive the award, following in the footsteps of his esteemed colleague (and 2012 NWGMA Distinguished Service Award recipient), Arv Olson. Recently retired from the Sun, Brad now writes full time for British Columbia Golf.
