B.C. Golf, a governing body that oversees 56,000 golfers and 300 clubs in the province, is surveying its members on their views around marijuana use on the golf course.

Despite the fact that recreational pot will be legalized in Canada on Oct. 17, many B.C. golf courses are still scrambling to put together a marijuana policy.

“We did our poll of member clubs and discovered that only 20 per cent were actively working on or had established a policy,” said Kris Jonasson, CEO of B.C. Golf. “Since we have such a big database, it just made sense for us to canvass the golfers.”

The online survey, which was created in partnership with Inside Golf magazine, gauges public sentiment on pot on the course with a series of 11 questions which include:

• How comfortable are you with people smoking marijuana on a golf course?

• How likely would you be to choose to play at a club with a stated policy of allowing marijuana smoking on the course?
