Golf Manitoba is pleased to announce its 2021 Championship schedule. The provincial amateur golf governing body will host 14 championships at member clubs from across Manitoba.
“We are very excited to announce our 2021 championship schedule,“ said Lisa Andersen, Director of Competitions for Golf Manitoba. “We have an excellent line up of venues from across the province and are very appreciative of the support we have received from those member clubs who committed to hosting this year.”
Of special note for 2021 will be the 100th awarding of the Manitoba Free Press trophy to this year’s men’s amateur champion. “The Nott Autocorp Men’s Amateur Championship has an incredible history and we are pleased to bring this event back to the Neepawa Golf & Country Club,” said Golf Manitoba Executive Director, Jared Ladobruk. “Neepawa is a fantastic venue and will provide an excellent test of golf for our men’s amateur field and we are very excited about the milestone we are recognizing for this championship.”
As with this past championship season, the health and safety of all involved will continue to be of paramount importance as COVID-19 protocols continue to adjust. “The safety of our member clubs, players, volunteers, and staff is our top priority,” explained Ladobruk. “We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the season accordingly.”
The 2021 championship season will officially kick off with the Match Play Championship qualifier and matches being held at the Grand Pines Golf Club May 29 & 30 and June 5, 6, 12 & 13.
