Report
Amateur golf in Manitoba and North West Ontario has a long
and storied history. The Manitoba Golf Association (MGA) was
established in 1915 and the Manitoba Ladies’ Golf Association
in 1922. In 2003, the two associations amalgamated to create
the current Golf Manitoba. Combining the resources of the
two associations has allowed us to more effectively deliver
the programs and services we offer. In the fall of 2010,
another historical event occurred with the launch of the new
Golf Manitoba brand. This change was made as a result of a
nationwide move to create clarity as to who is responsible for
administering amateur golf. Golf Canada (formerly the Royal
Canadian Golf Association or RCGA) launched the new brand in DAVE COMASKEY
the spring of last year for the following reasons: Golf Manitoba Executive Director

DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Junior Girls Nassau Team
The Nassau League continues to be a tremendous training
opportunity for Golf Manitoba’s junior girls team. The team enjoys
the opportunity to learn and compete against Manitoba’s top
amateurs and play different golf courses, many that they haven’t
played before. After a very successful inaugural season in 2009
the team moved up to compete in the “A” Division in 2010.
Following an excellent fourth-place finish, the team bowed out
in the first round of the playoffs to the eventual champions from
Southwood. Many thanks to Brenda Prystayko from the Pine
Ridge Golf Club who was the non-playing captain for the Junior
Girls Team and who dedicates many hours to the program.
