Comox Valley golfer Greg Koster has added to his long list of achievements.
June 27-29 at the difficult Hyde Mountain Golf Course in Sicamous in tough weather, he won the BC Masters (40+) Golf Championship. The 54-hole, stroke-play tourney included a 25-plus mid-amateur division, and a 40-plus masters class.
Koster finished fourth overall in both divisions, and edged defending mid-amateur champion, 40-year-old Craig Doell of Victoria, by one stroke to take the masters title. He finished at +1 with rounds of 74, 70 and 73.
Koster won the BC Mid-Amateur Championship in 2010 as a 38-year-old, and was runner-up at the national Mid-Am in 2008. He has also competed at a Mackenzie Tour professional tournament.
His next big event is the Canadian Mid-Am and Masters Championships, Aug. 21-24 at the Victoria Golf Club in Oak Bay.
Koster has represented B.C. on several occasions in such places as Peru and Colombia. He has won more than 110 golf tournaments, and holds several course scoring records.
