Golf Manitoba, in association with Golf Canada, is pleased to welcome Oakgrove Golf Course as our newest member club.

Recently purchased by Tyler and Stephanie Blahnik, previously known as Prairie Oaks Golf Course, Oakgrove Golf Course is located southeast of Winnipeg, 10 minutes from the South Perimeter off Highway #59 on Oakgrove Road.

This nine hole course was built in 1991 and welcomes golfers of all ages and skill level to play from three sets of tee boxes ranging from 2,673 to 2,918 yards.

“We are excited to join Golf Manitoba and welcome golfers back to our course” said Tyler Blahnik. “This season we have put in a lot of work to make this course a place golfers of all caliber can enjoy. When playing Oakgrove, two of my favourite holes are the seventh hole that has an island green and the ninth hole which has a water hazard in play so you have to be smart if you want to finish with a par.”

The fully licensed clubhouse includes a restaurant available to host both family and corporate gatherings, fundraising events and weddings.

As an official Golf Manitoba / Canada member club, all rounds played at Oakgrove Golf Course are acceptable for handicap purposes and may be recorded toward establishing or maintaining an official Golf Canada Handicap Index.

Golf Manitoba is saddened to learn of the passing of former Executive Director and Past President David Morison, FCA, who passed away on August 18, 2026. A dedicated leader, accomplished chartered accountant, and avid Rules Referee, David spent decades enriching the sport at the club, provincial, and regional levels.

David’s leadership in Manitoba golf was extensive and varied. He served as President of Breezy Bend Country Club from 1984 to 1986 before stepping into provincial governance as President of Golf Manitoba (then the Manitoba Golf Association) from 1993 to 1994. He later brought his executive background to the organization as Executive Director, guiding Golf Manitoba with professionalism and strategic vision. Even after relocating to New Brunswick in 2005, David’s passion for golf governance and volunteering never waned, as he continued serving as a rules referee and club volunteer, eventually earning Golf New Brunswick’s Volunteer of the Year award in 2019.

A funeral service was held on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, in Bathurst, New Brunswick. To read David’s full obituary and learn more about his distinguished career and life of service, please visit his official tribute page at Elhatton’s Funeral Home.

Team Manitoba won their first Inter-Provincial Team Championship since 2005 by four strokes at the 2026 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Brantford Golf & Country Club in Brantford, Ont. on Wednesday.

Team Manitoba was represented by Elmhurst Golf & Country Club members Evan Nachtigall of Brandon, Jordy Lutz of Winnipeg and David Spurr of Oakbank who finished with a combined score of 15-under to win their first inter-provincial title in over 20 years. In the final round of the Inter-Provincial Team Championship, Nachtigall shot 5-under 67, Lutz shot 1-over 73 to count towards the team score, and Spurr shot 3-over 75.

“Its absolutely amazing, it’s crazy to look at the trophy and see there has been no Manitoba team in I think the last 21 years. Coming in we were confident and new we could do it, things just had to kind of go our way and play well, but yeah, its awesome,” said Nachtigall on what it means to win the Inter-Provincial Team championship.

“We are all members at the same club back home and we play in a league where we are teammates, Evan was a new addition to that team this year,” said Lutz on whether the three have played as a team before this tournament.

“It was unreal, we are rooming together, we play together everyday back home, we had a practice round together, we traveled on the same flight together, said Spurr on what the team dynamic was like for this group.

“This was the number one goal and if we got this done then the guys can continue on with the rest of the tournament, Evan is leading the tournament right now so we are super pumped for him, hopefully he can keep going with what he’s doing, but last night it was all about getting this job done, then we will worry about the individual scores after that,” added Spurr.

Along with winning the Inter-Provincial Team title, Nachtigall is the solo leader heading into the third round of the national championship. Nachtigall finished his round with six birdies, five of those coming in the first six holes.

“It was just a lot of the same thing I did yesterday, being aggressive off tees and attacking pins,” said Nachtigall. “I felt like I kind of figured something else out on the practice green last night and was rolling them a little better.

“I was just hitting it close, making some putts, I had a great opening tee shot and had a pitching wedge into hole no. 1 there and I feel like I was off and running,” added Nachtigall on his hot start.

Trailing Nachtigall by one shot is three-time Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur champion and NHL referee Garrett Rank of Waterloo, Ontario. Rank shot a 4-under 68 with one eagle and five birdies on Wednesday.

Along with winning the Canadian Men’s Mid Amateur Championship trophy, the winner will also receive an exemption into the 2026 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship at Sand Valley Resort in Nekoosa, Wisconsin from September 26 – October 1, as well as a spot in the field for the 2027 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship and the 2027 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, both presented by BDO.
