WINNIPEG – Golf Canada is modernizing how scores are recorded across the country, establishing hole-by-hole score posting as the new standard for all Public Player members, with an effective start date in the Golf Manitoba region of April 15, 2026.

This update is part of a phased national initiative to improve the accuracy of the World Handicap System (WHS). While the transition begins with Public Players this season, Golf Canada has confirmed that hole-by-hole scoring will become the universal standard for all members nationwide in 2028.

Precision Meets Performance

Moving away from total-score entries ensures that every Golf Canada Handicap Index is as accurate as possible. By recording scores hole-by-hole, the Golf Canada system automatically applies Net Double Bogey adjustments—the maximum score allowed for any given hole—removing the need for manual calculations and ensuring a fair field for all golfers.

A Data-Driven Golf Experience

Beyond handicap accuracy, this updated scoring method unlocks a suite of digital tools designed to help golfers understand their game on a deeper level:

• Personalized Analytics: Players gain access to #MyGolfYear, featuring detailed stats like greens in regulation, pars, and birdies.
• Trackable Progress: Identify specific strengths and weaknesses over time to help guide practice and improvement.
• System Integrity: Standardized reporting ensures that the WHS remains a reliable reflection of playing ability worldwide.

Join the Public Player Program

The Public Player program is designed for golfers who do not belong to a private or semi-private club but still want to maintain an official Handicap Index and access the exclusive suite of game enhancing member benefits.

Public Player Membership Includes:

• An Official Golf Canada Handicap Index
• Up to $1,500 in Incident Protection (covering broken windows, equipment theft and cart accidents)
• Exclusive national and regional discounts on travel, insurance and dining

• Eligible to compete in provincial and national championships

Preparing for the 2028 National Standard

By introducing this standard for Public Players now, Golf Canada is paving the way for a smooth transition across the entire membership base by 2028. This phased approach allows the organization to provide dedicated support and ensure the Golf Canada app and Score Centre website continue to offer a seamless user experience.

Golf Manitoba is committed to assisting players through this transition. For questions regarding score posting, the Rules of Golf, or handicapping, please contact:

It is a fundamental truth in amateur sport: No referees, no game.

Since Golf Manitoba’s founding in 1915, volunteers have been the heartbeat of our organization. From our premier amateur championships to junior development programs, we rely on a dedicated community of officials to ensure the game is played with integrity, fairness, and passion.

Being a referee is more than just knowing the Rules of Golf; it is a way of life and a commitment to giving back to the game we love. To support the growth of our championship season, Golf Manitoba is pleased to announce an in-person Level 2 Provincial Certification Seminar taking place March 20-22, 2026.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Volunteering as a referee offers a front-row seat to the best amateur golf in the province. Level 2 certified referees are vital members of our team, eligible to officiate at all Golf Manitoba provincial championships. Whether you are a longtime player, a PGA of Canada member, or new to the rules, your involvement ensures our athletes have a professional and fair environment in which to compete.

As a “professional volunteer,” Golf Manitoba is committed to supporting you. We provide a full uniform package and cover all eligible expenses, including training, travel, meals, and accommodations where necessary.

Seminar Schedule & Location

All sessions will be held at the Sport Manitoba Building in the Theatre Room (Lower Level), 145 Pacific Avenue, Winnipeg.

• Friday, March 20: 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
• Saturday, March 21: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
• Sunday, March 22: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Food, beverage and snacks will be provided for all three days.

Certification Requirements

Golf Manitoba is proud to offer this certification at no charge to those looking to give back to the sport.

• Prerequisite: Candidates must have achieved a score of 85% or better on the Level 1 Online Exam.
• Certification: To become Provincially Certified, attendees must achieve a minimum of 80% on the Provincial exam and complete 50 hours of on-course experience, including 10 hours of mentorship with a Nationally certified Referee.
• Optional Learning: Writing the exam is not mandatory for those simply wishing to advance their rules knowledge without pursuing formal certification.

Golf Manitoba remembers Robert (Bob) Fallis, who passed away on February 18, 2026. A lifetime member of the Pine Ridge Golf Club, Bob volunteered countless hours with Golf Manitoba as Rules Chair, referee, and board member.

Drawing on his career as an educator, Bob was the driving force behind the rules seminars that Golf Manitoba continues to offer today. His dedication to the sport’s heritage was equally significant, including over ten years of service on the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame Board of Directors. Bob will be remembered by his peers for his expertise, his quick wit, and the genuine character he brought to the course.

Golf Manitoba extends its deepest sympathies to Robert’s family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Pine Ridge Golf Club later this spring, with details to follow.

With heavy hearts and deep love, the family of Robert Nelson Damsgaard announces his sudden and unexpected passing on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Rob was born in Dauphin, Manitoba on September 4, 1966.

Rob is survived by his loving wife, Mishelle Russo; his daughter, Isabella Dennis; his sisters Donna (Bill) Wilford and Karen (Ken) Irvine of Winnipeg; and his brothers Brian (Wendy) Damsgaard of Dauphin and Bonar (Sherri) Damsgaard of Kelowna. He will be deeply missed by his nieces Meaghan (Matthew) Trachsel, Marissa Wilford, and Madison (Chris Sitarz) Wilford; his nephews Kris (Chloe) Irvine of Winnipeg, Kraig (Jennifer) Irvine of Oakbank, Dwayne (Jamie) Damsgaard of Dauphin, Darren (Nicci) Damsgaard of Lloydminster, Brad (Cary) Damsgaard of Salt Spring Island, and Kevin Damsgaard of Vernon; along with many great-nieces, great-nephews, extended family members, and countless friends whose lives he touched.

He was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Laura Damsgaard of Dauphin; his niece, Leanne Damsgaard; and his late wife, Tanya Damsgaard (née Howe).

Rob was a highly accomplished and respected golf professional who began his career under the mentorship of Dauphin’s Stan Homeniuk. He went on to serve as Head Professional at Swan River, Winnipeg’s Wildewood Club, St. Andrew’s Larters, and most recently, The Player’s Course. He was recently honoured by the CPGA for 25 years as a Class A Head Professional, along with six years as an Assistant Pro and six years working in the golf shop during his school years. Golf was not just his profession, but a lifelong passion and a community that became family.

Rob loved his weekly hockey games with fellow golf pros, trips down south for tournaments, and competing in PGA events across North America. A devoted Winnipeg Jets fan, he took great pride in knowing the latest stats and facts about any and all sports teams — and he was rarely wrong. He loved the debate, the banter, and especially the laughter that came with it.

Above all else, Rob was devoted to the people he loved. He was a proud husband, a deeply loving father, a caring brother, an exceptional uncle, and a loyal friend. He had a sharp wit and a wonderfully dry sense of humour, often making obscure references that sometimes only he understood — and that was part of his charm. He found genuine joy in teaching, storytelling, and sharing his knowledge with anyone willing to listen. Whether on the golf course, at the rink, travelling through Europe, or gathered around with family and friends, Rob brought laughter, perspective, and heart to every room he entered.

His sudden loss leaves an immeasurable void, but his stories, humour, and love will live on in all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Golf Manitoba Scholarship Fund in memory of Robert Damsgaard. The website is www.golfmb.ca/scholarship or call (204) 925-5730 for more information.

He would remind us to keep our swing smooth, our stats straight, and never take life too seriously.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at The United Church in Meadowood, 1111 Dakota Street at 2:00pm.
