Team Manitoba held two practices this past weekend at Southwood Golf & Country Club moving outdoors to open the 2024 season.

The all-new Team TaylorMade Jr. Set is designed by the same world-class engineers that develop major-winning equipment for the game’s biggest stars.

The same engineers that design equipment for Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda put countless hours of thought and detail into creating this set designed specifically for your Junior

These sets offer premium quality and a level of performance not seen in the junior marketplace before. The 400cc Titanium driver has a large flexible face, designed for maximum distance and forgiveness. The fairway and Rescue™ have ultra-low CG’s and an easy to hit profile, making it easy to launch the ball in the air.

Irons and wedges are both designed for high launch and playability. The putter is designed for easy alignment to build confidence on the greens. All of this great technology comes packaged in a dual strap stand bag with rain hood and headcovers

In addition to offering the best junior equipment in the game, this set grants you access to content that will help unlock the secrets of the game. Members of Team TaylorMade are here to walk you through their favorite tips, drills, and swing fundamentals for you to reference on your golfing journey.

Golf Manitoba announced today the official opening of a state-of-the-art indoor golf performance centre located in the Sport Manitoba building, 145 Pacific Avenue in Winnipeg. The Golf Manitoba Performance Centre features two golf simulators powered by Foresight Sports and a 160-square foot putting green to provide training and coaching opportunities that will assist in growing its player development program.

“The opening of this indoor training facility moves the needle for our player development program,” said Golf Manitoba Executive Director Jared Ladobruk. “We recognized a unique opportunity to add efficiencies and improvements by integrating both golf specific and athlete training in one central location. In addition to that, the Foresight technology provides our coaches with new options and more flexibility that will allow them to assess and train our athletes 12 months of the year.”

In addition to golf specific training, Team Manitoba athletes will continue to access strength and conditioning and nutrition services provided by Sport Manitoba Performance and mental performance services by Attollo Mental Health & Performance.

“With the addition of this high-performance training centre, Golf Manitoba has taken an important step toward helping our association achieve its strategic player development goals,” added Golf Manitoba President Sue Wright-Cassan. “We are now better aligned and equipped to contribute to Golf Canada’s enhanced national player development program that was announced in February of 2022.”

“Sport Manitoba is thrilled to house this new indoor golf training centre,” said Janet McMahon, President & CEO of Sport Manitoba. “The goal of our facility has always been to provide athletic and recreation opportunities to Manitobans, and with this addition, Golf Manitoba will be able to further enhance player development throughout all four seasons.”

The Golf Manitoba Performance Centre was made possible by funding and support from the 2017 Canada Summer Games Legacy Fund, Sport Manitoba, the Alex & Peggy Colonello Foundation, and a private donation from Don & Sandi Janzen.
