PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to another wonderful season of golf.

I hope this greeting finds everyone in good health and anxious to get out there swinging again.

It’s been a relatively warm winter and hopefully we will have an early melt so we can get an early start on the season.

Remember to have fun.  You’re there for exercise and companionship – not frustration!

Tiger Woods once said – “No matter how good you get, you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.”

Have a great round, stay out of the bunkers and shoot “ONLY BIRDIES” !!!

Have a great season,
Brian Ridley, President

WHO WE ARE

Men, 55 years of age and older, who want to golf in a fun league once a week from May to September. Membership is open to ALL Manitobans.

You will play in a different foursome each month from May to August at various golf clubs within a one hour’s drive of the city. You can play as a walker, cart-rider, or walker willing to ride. You can play on different days of each week, at a course selected by each member of the foursome on a rotating basis. There are also special teams for those who want to play in September.  Green fees are paid to the courses and the Club has arranged for special green fees at some clubs around the province.

​There is an annual Registration Fee of $150, which includes: 6 monthly Breakfast Meetings at a selected location; an annual Wind-up Dinner at a selected location; a Website with all of the club’s activities; a computerized Handicap System; an annual Roster Booklet of members and events, and distribution of Trophies and Prizes in various categories.

There are also optional monthly tournaments organized at select courses, which include 18 holes of golf, golf cart, putting contests and prizes for a nominal fee.

​We have a Spares List, which is a list of golfers who only want to play when convenient.  They replace regular golfers to make up a foursome when someone has an appointment or is out-of-town. The cost for Spares is also $150 per year. This includes the six breakfasts, wind-up dinner, tournaments, trophy eligibility, website access and the handicap system. Spares are informed by email (phone if no email) when a spare is needed and who to contact if they are interested. Like all members, they may join or organize ad hoc games that include other members. Any games that include another member can be entered into the eHandicap System. Most spares average about 10 games during the summer – some more,  some less, depending on their availability.
