A registered charity, the object of which is to provide financial assistance to young
golfers entering or continuing in a Post-Secondary Educational Institution in Canada.
The young golfers of today are the club members and supporters of the game tomorrow.
The undertaking of the Fund is restricted to:
"The provision of periodic scholarships to
younger golfers of either gender, resident in Manitoba, for the advancement and furtherance of such person's
education ... and the receipt, accumulation and disbursement of funds for this purpose."
Since its inception the Fund has been accumulating a Capital
Fund and have awarded one hundred twenty-one (130) scholarships to worthy
recipients who have participated in the Manitoba and North West Ontario golf community
and who have demonstrated scholastic excellence. It is the Board's hope that the Capital Fund
can be steadily augmented so that both the number of scholarships and the amount of each
can be increased.

Scholarship Fund. Others
have included us in yearly assessments or as part of specific tournaments. For example, if each club

be added to our base annually.
