Golf Manitoba’s mission, as the governing body of golf in Manitoba and North West
Ontario is to develop, promote, govern and service the game of golf for the benefit of all
participants.
The Manitoba Golf Association was formed in 1915 with five clubs: St. Charles,
Pine Ridge, Norwood, Winnipeg Hunt Club and Elmhurst. In 1922, the Manitoba
Ladies' Golf Association was formed. Effective April 1, 2004, the Manitoba Golf
Association and the Manitoba Ladies' Golf Association amalgamated to form Golf
Manitoba.
Recognized by Sport Manitoba as the Provincial Sport
Organization (PSO) for golf in the province, Golf Manitoba is responsible for
promoting participation in and a passion for the game of golf in Manitoba and
North West Ontario. Golf Manitoba is also involved in national golf
affairs through its affiliation with Golf Canada.
Golf Manitoba conducts championships, programs and services to
help shape the present and future of golf in Manitoba and North West Ontario.
Assisting in the delivery of the National Golf in Schools & Future Links
Programs, training our young athletes for the Manitoba Games, Western Canada
Games and Canada Games and supporting the University of Manitoba Bison golf
program are some example of player development in our province. Golf
Manitoba also administers the Rules of Golf and handicapping and course rating.
