Going the extra mile BRANDON’S GEORGE MCLEOD HONOURED FOR DEDICATION TO GAME By Mark Halsall V olunteers play a huge role in Canadian golf, with tens of thousands of them helping to support the game in communities across the country. There are a special few who wield a strong influence at every level of the game in Canada, and you can count George McLeod among them. Starting with the Wheat City Golf Club in Brandon and then later for Golf Manitoba and Golf Canada, the 70-year-old Manitoban has taken on all kinds of tasks — everything from rules official, course rater, starter, scorer to tournament chair — in his 30-plus years as a golf volunteer. McLeod’s favourite volunteer role reveals the respect he has for golfers — making sure that he gets all those names right when announcing players stepping up to the tee box, as a tournament starter. “We’re a bilingual nation, so I always thought it was important if somebody from St. Boniface in Winnipeg or Quebec had a French name, that it was pronounced correctly,” he says. “I’m not bilingual so I would pull the player or a caddy or a parent aside and have them

say the name the way they’d do it in French. Then I would say it back to them over and over again until they said, ‘Yep, you’ve got it.’ When I announced that person’s name, often the player would come over and thank me because they’re not accustomed to that.” McLeod says one of his fondest memories is from the du Maurier Classic ladies event held at St. Charles Country Club in Winnipeg in 1992, when a player from Columbia with a tricky six- syllable name noted his artful articulation. “I pulled her caddy aside and I went through it with him about 10 to 15 times,” McLeod says. “I announced her name and after she hit her ball, she came over and hugged me. She said, ‘You know, I don’t even get my name pronounced correctly in
Columbia. You nailed it.’ I felt really good about that and I realized then just how important it is to them. That’s why I go the extra mile.” McLeod served for 20 years on the board of the Manitoba Golf Association, and was the association’s president in the early 2000s when it merged with the Manitoba Ladies Golf Association to form Golf Manitoba. He was also instrumental in the formation and inauguration of the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame and Museum. Nationally, McLeod served with Golf Canada as Manitoba’s Class “C” governor for 10 years, participating in numerous committees during his time as governor. Following Golf Canada’s governance change in 2011, he became a member of the association’s Governors Council,
served on the membership committee and was chair of the Canadian Turf Grass Research Foundation until 2015. In October, McLeod received Golf Manitoba’s Distinguished Service Award for 2016 for his long service to both Golf Manitoba and the Manitoba Ladies Golf Association and his commitment to amateur golf in this province. In February, McLeod was honoured with Golf Canada’s 2016 Volunteer of the Year award. He was a co-recipient along with Bill Klein of Parksville, B.C. Candidates for the award are nominated by their respective provincial associations in acknowledgement of their significant contributions to the game of golf. Adam Helmer, director of rules and competitions for Golf Canada, says McLeod remains the association’s go-to person for chairing amateur tournaments in Manitoba and elsewhere on the Prairies. “He’s the kind of guy that makes an event enjoyable,” he says. Dave Comaskey, executive director of Golf Manitoba, calls McLeod an extremely valuable volunteer. “His professionalism and dedication are amazing and we are very fortunate to have someone with his passion give so freely of his time and expertise. We are very pleased to see George’s years of service continue to be recognized,” he says. McLeod, who took up golf 50 years ago while attending the University of North Dakota, continues to play whenever he can at the Shilo Golf and Country Club course not far from his Brandon home. “I’m retired now, so there’s lots of time for golf,” he laughs. “I play about four days a week. I golf in a Monday league, a Tuesday league, a Wednesday league, and then on weekends the good old boys get together for a bragging session.”

Golf Canada not resting on its laurels DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM REFINED TO GET MORE YOUNGSTERS IN THE PIPELINE “Golf Canada’s move to intensify long-term player development is a good one.” – Winnipeg’s Derek Ingram, Golf Canada’s men’s head coach and pro/ amateur team coach
By Todd Lewys I t’s a logo that’s prominent on the shirts and hats of young Canadian players these days: Golf Canada’s logo, a stylish maple leaf with golfer in the finish position in the middle. National Team member Jared du Toit wore it during his dream week at the 2016 RBC Canadian Open, where he played in the final group on Sunday with Tour winner Brandt Snedeker. On the LPGA Tour, teenage star Brooke Henderson – who played her formative golf in Smith Falls, Ont. – wore the logo proudly on her shirtsleeve on her way to the title at the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Then, there was Mackenzie Hughes – an alumnus of Golf Canada’s player development program – who also displayed the Golf Canada logo on his shirtsleeve on his way to taking the title at the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic in November 2016. It would also be fair to say that Adam Hadwin – winner of the 2017 Valspar Championship – also received help along the way on his journey to the PGA Tour from Golf Canada.
And while Golf Canada’s player development program has been quite successful over the past five to 10 years, the organization’s brain trust

enjoy the rise of Canadian golfers on various tours around the world. To the contrary, they’re committed to taking their long-term development program to the next level to develop even more elite-level players. “Even more than before, our goal is to develop even more players who’re capable of winning at the highest level,” says Golf Canada’s newly-appointed director of next generation performance, Matt Wilson. “We will be in pursuit of leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of excellence.” Wilson – who just assumed the position in February – says while the program is even more ambitious than its predecessor, it’s still in its early stages of development. “I’m in the process of getting my finger on the pulse of programs across the country in each province – who the coaches are, who the up-and-coming players are. My job is to identify promising players, get an earlier line of sight on what they’re doing, and then connect with coaches to provide them with the help they need in developing the players.” Garth Goodbrandson, Golf Manitoba’s director of player development, said Golf Canada’s new Long-Term Player Development Guide (2.0) is going to help funnel even more promising youngsters into the development pipeline. “Even though player development was started years ago, this new guide is a fantastic tool that’s really going to help players, parents and
coaches,” he says. “It’s going to give everyone a better understanding of what youngsters are going to need to do to become elite- level players.”
The big thing is to really keep open lines with coaches, starting with provincial associations,” Wilson says. “We’ll be asking them, ‘How can we support you?’ and, ‘What can we do to support you better?’ We’ll also be present at events across Canada to support and evaluate players.” Winnipeg’s Derek Ingram – Golf Canada’s men’s head coach and pro/amateur team coach – says Golf Canada’s move to intensify long-term player development is a good one. “We recognized that while we were doing a good job, there was a lot more work to do. To be honest, I think we’ve missed some players,” he says. “The new long-term development program will cast a wider blanket, enabling us to identify promising players sooner. We’ll be able to give kids more support when they need it.” He adds that making the new Long-Term Player Development Guide so accessible and user-friendly will be a huge help to everyone. “It can be accessed online, and there’s even an app for it – it’s a wicked tool for kids, parents and coaches. It’s all part of us doing our best to provide good young players with a roadmap that will show them how to get to the elite level of the game if they want to put in the hard work.” For more information on the new Long- Term Player Development Guide, visit Golf Canada at golfcanada.ca.
In a nutshell, the guide outlines eight key stages: • Active Start (ages 0-6) ª Fundamentals (Ages 6-9) • Learn to Golf • Introduction to Competition
• Learn to Compete • Train to Compete • Compete to Win • Golf for Life.
“Basically, it sets out a framework of what needs to be done to get to the highest level of the game,” Goodbrandson says. “It provides everyone with proper direction right from the word go. If their child is interested in golf, parents will know where to go and what to do right away. There’s tons of good information.” The hope is that a more defined – and refined – program will do an even better job of developing elite-level players in the long run. “Right now, we’re brainstorming possibilities.

Planning for the event started a year-and-a-half ago. By the time the tournament takes place, it will be two years. We’ll be ready to put on a great event.” –Jeff Scott
By Todd Lewys S outhwood Golf & Country Club general manager Jeff Scott says he and his organizational team’s focus is on achieving one thing when the Canada Summer Games golf competition gets underway at the club on Aug. 6. “Our end goal is to put on a world- class tournament,” he says. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to ensure that everyone, from the athletes, to officials, to volunteers and spectators, says we took care of them, and that Southwood was an unbelievable venue.” To that end, 168 volunteers will assemble daily at the St. Norbert-area course, with more than 100 of those volunteers being Southwood members. “The volunteer response has been great, especially from our club membership,” Scott says. “They know all the ins and outs of the club, so everyone who comes here is going to be taken care of very well. Planning for the event started a year-and-a-half ago. By the time the tournament takes place, it will be two years. We’ll be ready to put on a great event.” Scott says competitors are in for a top- notch experience. “There’s going to be a players’ lounge, each competitor will have their own locker, and we will include a lot of the little extras that players get in top-level tournaments. Not only is the clubhouse world-class, but the players will also have access to a world-class practise facility
that’s spread out over 15 acres.” Then, there’s the golf course, which, like the clubhouse and practise facility, is also world-class. Designed by renowned golf course designer Thomas McBroom, the links-style layout features five sets of tees that can see it play as little as 5,314 yards, or as much as 7,311 yards. Southwood’s golf professional emeritus, Tom Kinsman, says that players can expect a fair but challenging course set-up. “We won’t be changing our usual mowing heights, so the rough will be at a normal height,” he says. “And, as usual, the greens will be relatively quick (rolling at around 10 or 10.5 on the Stimpmeter). There’s no need to do anything out of the ordinary as there’s enough penalty if you get off line and get into the fescue (rough).” Should conditions be breezy – and they almost always are at Southwood – then competitors will have all they can handle in a golf course, Kinsman adds. “The tee ball is the key. To score well, you need to avoid the (rough), fairway bunkers and their turf fingers, and strategically-placed water hazards,” he says. “If the wind blows, there’s going to be an even greater premium on keeping the ball in play. Players that do will have an opportunity to score well. Those who don’t will be challenged to shoot a good score.” Keys to playing the oft-windswept layout include getting off to a solid start, playing the par-fives well, and successfully negotiating holes 13 to 18.
“The first hole (which should play anywhere from 379 to 431 yards during the tournament) is quite possibly the toughest starting hole in Western Canada with its length and a prevailing left-to-right wind that isn’t optimal for right-handed golfers,” Kinsman says. “There will be scoring opportunities on the par-fives provided players play smart, and holes 13 through 18 will be challenging for different reasons.” Those reasons include club selection, with there being a four-club difference from front to back of greens on holes 13 and 15; the long, lush parkland 16th hole, which plays uphill, making it play even longer than its listed yardage (likely 358 to 427 yards); and the par-five 18th, which requires a long, accurate tee shot to create an opportunity to reach it in two. “The course has also been designed so players can be creative,” Kinsman adds. “If it’s windy, there’s a chance to flight the ball down and run it into greens. You can also use the putter from well off greens in some cases, too.” Scott says he can’t wait for the event to start. “I’ve done the Pan Am Games, two Canadian Amateurs, six years with the Player’s Cup and other international tournaments; this one will be right up with those events. We’ll be doing our best to put on a world-class tournament that everyone – players, officials, volunteers and spectators – will enjoy in every way.”

We have liftoff SUMMER GAMES A LAUNCHING PAD FOR YOUNG GOLFERS
By Todd Lewys F rom July 28 to Aug. 13, some 4,000 athletes from across Canada will gather in Winnipeg to compete in 16 sports and 21 different events at the 2017 Canada Summer Games. One of those events will be the Games’ golf competition, which will be held Aug. 6 to 11 at Southwood Golf & Country Club. Like all the other athletes who will take part in the 17-day event, Manitoba’s golf team – which will be comprised of three boys and three girls aged 18 and under – will get a taste of what it’s like to take part in a world-class event. “It’s really going to give kids a feel for what its like to compete on a major stage,” says Games’ president and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk. “In that sense, we’re very fortunate to have Southwood Golf & Country Club as the golf venue. It’s a major-league venue that will expose the players on not only Manitoba’s golf team, but all golf teams, to what it’s like to compete in a world-class tournament.” The six local players who compete in the golf tournament – it will be the Games’ third golf competition (previous tournaments were held in 2009 and
2013) – will have to work hard to earn their spots, says Team Manitoba coach Garth Goodbrandson, who also serves as Golf Manitoba’s director of player development. “We have a squad of 13 boys and 12 girls that trained at the Golf Dome over the winter, in addition to taking part in team practises and sports science seminars,” he says. “To choose the team, we will conduct a 10-round qualifier over two months prior to the Games. The three boys and girls with the best seven- round totals will make the teams. In 2009, the boys’ team was decided by one stroke, competition was so tight.” That means the golf team will be tournament-tough and ready to perform their best when the Games begin. “Both qualifying for the tournament and the tournament itself will be an incredible learning and growing experience for the kids,” Hnatiuk says. “They’re not only going to compete in the tournament, but they’ll also be able to observe other athletes from across the country. Once they’re done with their round, they can go out to cheer on their teammates in other sports. Being part of the golf team and part of a larger provincial team will help them build character and broaden their perspective.”
President and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk says the Canada Summer Games give kids a feel for what its like to compete on a major stage. MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
Goodbrandson agrees, saying being part of the Games often plays a pivotal role in a golfer’s development. “It’s an unbelievable experience for the players,” he says. “It’s really like a mini- Olympics for them. Not only will they remember the competition, but they’ll make friends and remember all the great people they met during the Games.” Hnatiuk says the Canada Summer Games often turn out to be a launching pad for athletes. “Many athletes who’ve competed in the Games have gone on to bigger and better things,” he says. “For example, about 50 per cent of Canada’s Olympic Games medallists have attended the Canada Summer Games. Alumni includes Sidney Crosby (hockey), Steven Stamkos (hockey), Cindy Klassen (speed skating), Clara Hughes (cycling/speed skating), Desiree Scott (soccer) and Janine
(Hanson) Stephens (rowing). It can be a major stepping stone in the career of an athlete because it gives them a great feel for what it takes to compete successfully in an elite-level event.” Even though the Games are still more than three months away, Goodbrandson says excitement is building among the 25 youngsters who’ll be vying to be part of the “elite six” who will compete at Southwood in August. “The Manitoba Junior will finish off the qualifier, then the kids who qualify for the Games’ team will be off to play in the biggest tournament they’ll have played in up to that point,” he says. “There’s no question they’ll be prepared to play. We’ll let the chips fall where they may, and who knows – some of the kids who play on the big stage at Southwood could use the experience to go on to bigger and better things.”

Rule changes aimed at making game more accessible
By Todd Lewys C ome January 2019, golfers worldwide will be rejoicing. Why? Because that date will mark the introduction of a new – and vigorously amended – version of the Rules of Golf. “I applaud the efforts of the USGA (United States Golf Association) and R & A (Royal and Ancient Golf Club) of St. Andrews,” says Don MacDonald, a Golf Canada-certified level-four rules official and past president of Golf Manitoba. “It’s been a lot of work, but I believe it’s going to produce a rule book that’s more accessible for all golfers.” He says the reason for that greater accessibility can be attributed to the fact that the rules will be laid out in layman’s language – in a sense, a kind of Rules for Dummies. “The new version of the rule book explains why and how rules work with pictures,” MacDonald says. “It’s going to be so much easier to understand.” That’s a good thing, since most golfers have come to view the Rules of Golf as being onerous and unfair. Incidents involving world No. 1 Dustin Johnson at the 2016 U.S. Open (one-stroke penalty assessed when his ball supposedly moved while he was addressing a putt), and more recently, Lexi Thompson at the recent LPGA ANA Inspiration (four-stroke penalty assessed nearly a day after she improperly marked her ball and failed to put it back in the proper spot) did nothing to change golfers’ negative perception of the rules.
“From what I can see, the USGA and R & A are really trying to make the rules better,” says Bob Fallis, another local level-four rules official and chair of rules officials in Manitoba. “The wording will be different, not nearly as complex and onerous. People will be able to understand the rules much better.” As far as rule changes go, a trio of amendments to existing rules – dropping a ball, searching for a ball and leaving the flagstick in while putting – stand out as some of the positive changes the USGA and R & A have made. “I’m in favour of the changes for the most part,” MacDonald says. “The new drop (where you drop the ball from inches above the turf rather than the present method of shoulder height) will get the ball closer to the original spot, as the player has more control over where the ball is placed.” Next is reducing search time for a lost
ball from five minutes to three minutes. “Again, it will hopefully move the game along better at all levels. Clearly, by reducing search time by two minutes the USGA and R & A are showing a desire to speed up the game. As for leaving the flag in, I’m not as enthusiastic about it,” he adds. “I don’t like the idea of having the stick in when you’re putting from one foot away. I’d prefer for the rule to apply to accidental situations.” Fallis concurs. “I really like the new drop procedure. You drop the ball in a smaller area, and there’s one club less distance so there won’t be as much of the drop, drop, place (the ball) that you see on Tour so often. It will save time. Red stakes will identify a hazard, you’ll take your one club relief, place the ball and go. As for ball searches, most searches exceed the allotted time, so reducing search time by two minutes will help speed things up and will hopefully
encourage more ready golf.” He adds that clearer, fairer rules will not only make things easier for players, but for officials, too. “As officials, we really want to help competitors, not penalize them,” says Fallis, noting that the officials who notified Lexi Thompson of her four-shot penalty at the ANA Inspiration were heartsick about having to do so. “I think the changes will make things easier for officials to do their job in a manner that’s as fair as possible.” MacDonald agrees. “Over time, the rules became too complex for player and rules officials. There have been some embarrassing rulings, and that’s not what officials want to happen. Now that the rules are written in plain English and are fairer, we’ll be better able to do our job, which is to help with the interpretation of how rules apply.”
Garth Goodbrandson says the oversized, user-friendly clubs and balls have been a hit with kids.

M oving forward into our 50th anniversary year many changes are taking place. The 2017 season, we will be celebrating 50 years in operation! With reaching this milestone the club has some exciting changes to offer. The proshop and restaurant will be the biggest change moving into the 2017 season, as the restau- rant will be open only for special events, tourna- ments and league nights. In turn the restaurant building will be used as required. Which means the Proshop building will cater to the service everyone will need. The proshop is undergoing some small renovations to accommodate the new plans. The front counter has been moved to the far East corner which allows the floor space to become more invit- ing for tables and chairs along with comfy couches. The Proshop building is now the one stop shop for all items the Club will provide on a daily basis. With this change in set-up, the club can be more effective and still offer many options as it did before, but just under one roof! The Club will have a fully stocked proshop for any golf products required. The Club will offer a smaller, more convenient assort- ment of food & beverage. The Club has purchased a brand new beverage cart for better daily service on the course. The snack shack will have new items and be open longer daily. With the new set-up of the club, we believe we can offer better service in all aspects of a Golf Club.
