1. Review of Agenda
- Approved as presented.
2. Minutes of 2025 AGM
- No outstanding business arising from the Minutes.
- Approved as presented.
3. 2026 Financial Statement
- Steve reviewed and explained the revenue and expenses showing a
carry forward of $347.71. He outlined the trophy restoration, wind-up,
and AGM meeting costs. He also indicated an expenditure needed for
the 2026 plate for the trophy.
- Steve explained how the trophy was found. Then Harold Cherwinski
found someone to add a base to it, and went to the trophy shop to get
all the plates for the past 10 years brought up to date. There was
unanimous thanks and praise for Harold to haver done this for the
League.
- A copy of the Statement was passed around for the captains’
signatures. All of the captains signed it.
- All teams present paid their 2027 dues, adding $900 to the account.
Larters and Wildewood have yet to pay.
4. Confirmation of membership in 2026
- Based on the attendees, and correspondence received by the
League, it appears that all 14 teams are committed to playing in
2026. There was some discussion about looking to add a team to
even out the schedule to seven home and seven away games.
However, that would mean a bye week for everyone and lengthening
the schedule by 2 weeks. Steve indicated that we had a team that
was interested in joining in the past.
It was decided that we do look at adding one more team, specifically
Maplewood. Norm Morrissette is to contact them and determine if
they are still interested. If not, we remain at 14 teams for now.
- Approved as presented.
- There was discussion about dates to start the season and when to
end it. Most captains want to finish in August, and some don’t want to
start too early in May. The schedule will depend on the number of
teams, and when we can schedule the wind-up. Ted and Steve will
consider all when making up the 2027 schedule.
5. Wind-up review
- Steve provided a brief overview of the wind-up and thanked Roy
and Brian for a great event. Comments were made about the great
condition of the course, how well the start was organized, the good
team and play format, and the wonderful meal and prize presentation.
A suggestion was made that some of the prizes might be pre-picked
so that that prize presentation is more about the event winners. That
will be considered.
- Brian Foster asked some questions about what and how they can
work their event in 2027. He received several suggestions. His
concern over the possible cost was not something anyone else was
worried about as all costs have been going up.
6. Recording Scores
- Ted introduced a new score recording process based out of our
google page that connects to an app he created. He walked everyone
through the process and showed how it would capture information
about who you played that week, and each team score. He also
demonstrated how it would work for postponed matches. Most
captains liked the idea as it is easier for them, and makes the scoring
more efficient for the League.
Ted will be sending a demo to all captains to practice before the
season starts.
- Approved as presented.
7. Feedback on Rules and Guidelines
a. There was discussion again this year about handicaps and making
sure members of each team are there within the appropriate
handicap range. Examples of players with lower handicaps playing in
higher handicap groups were given. Discussion revolved around two
things: the captains’ responsibility to police the handicaps of their
team, and what to do if there are no other options.
Steve reiterated that we had previously determined that the two
captains needed to be honest with each other and discuss any
abnormality before play begins. It is up to them to resolve the issue
so that there is fairness in every match That might mean distance
changes, strokes being given, or the player being allowed to play but
their score doesn’t count.
It was again determined that although this League is more friendly
than competitive, we do not was to lose players or teams because
they feel they have no chance even before the match starts.
This was thrown back to the captains again to resolve on a match-to-
match basis. Any objections or failure to cooperate should be
reported to the League.
- Approved as resolved.
b. Steve indicated that there was a question of how or when to forfeit
brought up during the season, and there is nothing in our Rules and
Guidelines to cover this.
After a short discussion, it was decided that there isn’t really any
reason to forfeit, but if there absolutely cannot be a playing resolution,
the team forfeiting give the other team 6 points.
- Approved as presented
c. Steve brought up concerns about player conduct during the
matches. There were several instances of poor sportsmanship,
anger, ar disrespect reported to the League. Some examples were
raised, and every captain seemed concerned that this could be
happening. It was determined trat each captain would make it clear to
their team that this behaviour would not be tolerated.
- Approved as presented.
d. Steve indicated that although already discussed, he needed to
emphasize that communication between captains was very important.
With the information on our site, there is no excuse not to contact the
other captain if there is any change in schedule or meal, or if there is
going to be a concern about team makeup or handicaps.
- Approved as presented.
8. 2026 fees
- It was proposed that the League fees remain the same ($75) for
2027. Steve indicated that since we have carried forward a balance
each of the past 3 years, an increase was not warranted.
- Approved as proposed.
9. Other business
a. Steve indicated that he had conversations with Golf Manitoba
about perhaps having our League linked to their website. It might
improve our visibility, and attract interest. He will continue to look into
this.
- Approved as presented.
b. Ted indicated that he had been looking at creating a website for
the League that would make access to information more available for
all members. He indicated that it would be an annual cost of about
$20 to get a web domain and then he would create and maintain it.
- Approved as presented.
10. Election of officers
- Steve indicated that nobody had stepped forward to take over as
League President. He indicated that Ted had helped reduce his
workload, and that Ted had agreed to stay on next year in his role as
statistician. Therefore, Steve agreed to stay on through next year,
leaving for sure at the 2027 AGM.
11. Adjourn meeting
- Meeting was adjourned at 11:21.

- No outstanding business arising from the Minutes.
- Approved as presented.
3. 2025 Financial Statement
- Steve reviewed and explained the revenue and expenses showing a carry forward of $435.80. He also noted that there would be costs
associated with the upgrade of the trophy to be considered for 2026.
- Copy of the Statement was passed around for signatures of all the
captains.
4. League trophy
- Steve indicated that the trophy needs updated plates, about 10 years worth, and then would require a new base for them. He
indicated that he would assist in getting this done unless someone had a woodworking friend to help. The cost would come out of the
League funds.
5. Confirmation of membership in 2026
6. Schedule adjustments
- As there had been some concerns raised about the schedule in
2025, and there could be some issues concerning the two new
clubhouses currently being built, it was determined that some care
should go into the 2026 schedule to reflect that. Steve will get
information from the affected courses to see what they need. Brian
(Morden) asked that they play away games until mid-June so that
they could allow their build to finish and then properly host visiting
teams.
- Approved as presented.
7. Wind-up review
- Congratulations were offered to Rick and the Portage team for doing
such a great job of hosting the wind-up. There were positive
comments about the format, groupings and dinner.
They only improvement suggested concerned the prize distribution to
ensure fairness. Steve indicated that this was partially his fault as he
was unable to be present and help with the hectic task of being
master of ceremonies, freeing Tim up to coordinate all of the other
responsibilities.
- There was some discussion concerning the list of host clubs going
into the future. While there are the 12 clubs on the list who currently
have facilities to host the wind-up, there is a possibility that
Wildewood might be able to once they have their new clubhouse.
Steve will inquire about that. Otherwise there seemed to be
consensus that the schedule is acceptable.
- Approved as presented.
8. Recording scores by team
- There was a very good discussion about what the numbers on the
scoring spreadsheet showed. There were several teams that
seemed to have very lopsided numbers in terms of games and points
won.
Several captains indicated they personally knew that players on some
of the teams, especially team 3 players, but also some team 2
comments about the league philosophy of friendly competition,
integrity, and sportsmanship.
Some captains indicated that they were losing players who no longer
wanted to play matches where the opposition was cheating.
It was also stated that some of the teams who were winning their
matches early were walking off the course immediately after winning,
leaving the other team to finish the round on their own. All of the
captains present indicated that this was never to happen.
Discussion then turned to consequences. It was suggested that Steve
send out the expectations to all captains, and that if any captains did
not comply with the rules, the League could consider turning down
their membership for the following year.
Suggestions were made about checking team member handicaps, or
requiring the captains to submit their team lists and handicaps before
the start of the season. However, the majority indicated that they
want the onus on the captains to follow the rules, not make it a
League administrative requirement.
- It was resolved that Steve is to send a very clear message to all
captains about their responsibilities and possible consequences. It
was also resolved that the team scores would continue to be
recorded in 2026.
- Approved as resolved.
9. 2026 fees
- It was proposed that the League fees remain the same ($75) for
2027. Steve indicated that this would need review next year with the
increasing costs facing the League.
- Approved as proposed.
10. Feedback on Rules and Guidelines
- There was discussion on what relationship a League player had to
have with their home club. It appears that several clubs, like
Blumberg, do not have a large membership base to draw from. It was
suggested that perhaps affiliate members, such as those in a men’s
league attached to the club, might be eligible for play. However, they
could only play for one club, even if they were in leagues at different
clubs.
- It was determined that captains would try to assemble their teams
from the regular membership base, but if unable to complete their
team, may draw from legitimate members of a club affiliated league.
But all members must meet the handicap requirements of each team.
- Approved as determined. Change to be made to the Rules and
Guidelines to reflect this.
11. Other business
support from each of the member clubs, we haven’t recognised the
clubs before. Therefore, he created Certificates of Appreciation and
framed them. Each captain was to take theirs and find a way to
present them to their own club.
12. Election of officers
- Steve indicated that he is officially stepping down as League
President. He thanked the captains for all of their support,
cooperation and assistance over the past 5 years.
He indicated that he would stay on long enough to finish his tasks and to help the
transition to a new leader.
There were no nominations or volunteers. It was determined that the
captains would consider the options and determine what they wanted
to do.
13. Adjourn meeting
- Meeting was adjourned at 11:25.

5. Confirmation of membership in 2025
No changes in member clubs from 2024. No interest in adding more.
6. 2025 proposed Schedule
Much discussion about the length of the season, dates that matches fell on for clubs, and long weekends. Harold presented a summary of the clubs and who was hosting how many long weekends. In order to create some parity, Steve is to review the schedule to try and equalize the number of long weekend hosting dates. He will send out a revision asap. Captains will continue to make alternative arrangements as required by weather, course conditions, or club conflicts. Passed.
7. Wind-up review, venues, and ideas
Thanked Carman for their great event. Discussion around the date, format, and running the event. Consensus was that the host club would make those decisions. There were positive comments about the format in Carman where there were events for each of the 3 handicap categories we play under. It was also suggested that the host club could invite prior executive or prominent former members of the league to the dinner.
The list of hosts dating to 2030 was passed around for review. Wildewood indicated that they would have a new clubhouse sometime in 2025, so may be back in the rota. Will review once it is up and running.
It was proposed that the League President be invited to play in the wind-up at no charge. Passed.
8. Recording scores by team
Steve outlined the concerns raised in the past about players playing in higher handicap groups than allowed by theirs. Discussion revolved around the role of the captains to ensure that their team met the rules. There seemed to be few issues as long as the captains communicated if there were going to be any obvious discrepancies. It was resolved that the Captains would continue to monitor it so that the League did not have to. Passed.
9. 2025 fees
There was discussion around the purpose of the fees as they were originally for the costs that the executive had in corresponding with league members. It has now become the source for prizes during the wind-up. Steve indicated that there were also costs associated with our meeting, as well as maintaining the now-returned trophy. Suggestion was that the fee remain the same $75 for 2026. Passed.
10. Feedback on Rules and Guidelines
The situation of lunch vs breakfast was raised. Since this has been given considerable attention in the past, there was nothing new to add. It was pointed out that the schedule now shows what each club is offering.
11. Other business
Harold provided more league history, how it started in 1996 as a stroke play competition, becoming match play in 1998, when the trophy was donated by Jacques Lavack. The original 6 teams are on the trophy.
There was some discussion about trying to get clubs to fix a set rate for golf carts so that it was the same at all clubs. Consensus was that it would be difficult to set such a rate, and then ask clubs to possibly absorb additional costs beyond the green fees. Failed.
12. Election of officers
Steve once again asked for someone to step forward to start learning about running the league so that he might be able to step away, especially since he isn’t able to play at present. Some of the captains said they would approach their members to see if anyone would be willing to do it. In the meantime, Steve was asked to stay on. Passed.
13. Adjourn meeting
Meeting was adjourned at 10:41 am.
2023
Central Seniors Golf League AGM Minutes
Sept 26, 2023
Transcona Golf Club
Attendance: Ray Chrunyk (Assiniboine), Wayne Oliver (Bridges), Bruce North (Carman),
Tim Frost (Elm Creek), Harold Cherwinski (Larters), Brian Foster (Morden), Richard
Lepage (Oakwood), Rick Suderman (Portage), Russel Eagle (Selkirk), Roy Unger (Warren),
Jim Watts (Wildewood), Steve Wallace (Transcona and League)
Call to Order at 10:00 am
1. The Agenda was distributed and reviewed. No questions or additions.
Adopted as presented.
2. Minutes of the 2022 AGM were available for review on the League Google home
page. No questions or concerns raised.
Adopted as presented.
3. The Financial Statement was presented. Steve went over the numbers indicating why
there was a surplus for next year as Bridges did not use the entire amount due to the
low turnout for the Wind-up. There is also one team, Blumberg, still owing for their
2023 membership. The Statement was passed around for all Captains to approve. All
12 teams signed it.
Approved as presented.
4. There is a question about the number of teams there will be next year as it appears
that Quarry Oaks appears to be opting out for 2024. Discussion centered around two
topics: a) the total number we want to have; and b) trying to avoid a bye week. We
concluded that 14 was an ideal number, and that we don’t like or want a bye week.
Steve was authorized to confirm Quarry Oaks’ position, as well as Blumberg’s,
and then recruit teams as necessary to make it 14.
5. Once again we dealt with the question of what meal is the standard, and what the
host team should be responsible for. There was much discussion around food service
availability, costs of breakfast versus lunch, and what the obligation is of the host
club.
It seems that some clubs prefer to offer breakfast and have the facilities to do so.
Others prefer the lunch for various reasons. However, all agreed that the host club
should be getting the first drink for their guests.
Therefore, it was agreed that the clubs who want to offer breakfast can do so,
and those who want to offer lunch can do so. However, each club must make
their intention known to the League so that the preference can be posted on
the schedule for all players to see.
6. There is a tentative schedule done for 2024 that was not presented at the meeting as
the status of one team is in question. Steve explained how the schedule is changed
year to year so that teams don’t always face each other at the same point in the
season.
Steve will send out the tentative schedule with the Minutes for everyone to
review.
7. Quarry Oaks was to have hosted the 2024 Wind-up, so we need to look at a club to
replace them, as well as a club to take the 2027 spot. Carman immediately
volunteered to take 2024. Morden offered to take 2027 as their new clubhouse will be
completed by then.
Discussion about day of the week ended up agreeing that it should be on a Monday.
Carman will be looking for Aug 12 or 19.
Approved as recommended.
8. There was much discussion about the handicap ranges for the three pairings that
make up each team. It became apparent that some teams are having trouble finding
enough players to fill the requirements. Most don’t have enough 1-7 handicaps and
so play higher handicaps in that pairing. One or two team seem to have a problem
finding enough players in the 8-13 and\or 14+ pairings. While that may lead to some
unequal matches, the majority of captains indicated that they were okay with that as
the camaraderie was more important. However, in order to prevent any concerns
being raised about these issues, it was suggested that the captain of the team having
the problem of not having high enough handicappers inform the opposing captain in
advance so that he can let his team know.
Therefore, it was agreed that in the rare instances where handicap restrictions
cannot be met, the captain of that team must inform the other captain in
advance of the situation.
9. The issue of League Fees was presented, questioning whether $75 was still valid. By
consensus, it appears that $75 still provides the Wind-up host with enough prize
revenue to help out their club.
Approved that League Fees to remain at $75.
!0. We asked for any feedback on the Rules and Guidelines. There were no issues that
had been brought forward or needed to be addressed.
Approved that the Rules and Guidelines remain the same for 2024.
11. Other Business – There was none.
12. Election of Officers – Steve indicated that he was willing to stay on for one
more year. There was some indication that one or two of the captains may be
prepared to step in after that.
13. Meeting adjourned at 11:10.
2022
Central Seniors Golf League AGM Minutes
October 3, 2022
Transcona Golf Club
Attendance: Ray Chrunyk (Assiniboine), Doug Brown (Bridges), Bruce North (Carman),
Tim Frost (Elm Creek), Harold Cherwinski (Larters), Brian Foster (Morden), Barry Bewick
(Oakwood), Richard Lepage (Oakwood), Don Spriggs (Portage), Bill Newall (Quarry
Oaks), Bill Cushnie (Selkirk), Norm Morrissette (Transcona), Roy Unger (Warren), Lino
Santos (Warren), Jim Watts (Wildewood), Steve Wallace (League)
Call to Order at 10:31 am.
Bruce North (Carman) spoke about how the League was renewed in 2022 following the
COVID shutdown and Don Revel being unable to continue in his role as President.
1. The agenda Statement was distributed to the Representatives prior to the meeting. It was
reviewed and one item added regarding vaccination status. That will be covered under
Rules and Guidelines.
2. Minutes of 2019 AGM were distributed to the Representatives prior to the meeting.
Reading of them was waived. No questions or concerns.
Motion to accept the 2019 AGM minutes: Moved by Brian Foster (Morden), seconded by
Doug Brown (Bridges). Carried
3. The 2022 Financial Statement was distributed to the Representatives prior to the
meeting. It was read out by Steve Wallace who explained the costs and numbers.
Motion to accept the 2022 Financial Statement: Moved by Roy Unger (Warren),
seconded by Bruce North. Carried
4. Steve Wallace raised the question about the number of teams in the League. He
explained that Winkler had taken a sabbatical this season, but did not look like they would
be participating again next season. It was noted that they were already in arrears with
League dues. The discussion showed that Winkler was not going to be supported if they
wanted to return, and a bye week was acceptable. Therefore, we would need to find a
replacement team. Steve Wallace explained that a few teams had expressed an interest in
the past. hese were Blumberg and Treherne. Suggestions of Teulon and La Broquerie
were noted as well.
Norm Morrissette (Transcona) indicated that he had approached Maplewood to see if they
were interested. That seemed to be an interesting choice for all as it would help keep the
League in the south with an additional eastern team. Norm will follow-up.
5. Meals and start times were discussed as Steve had indicated several comments/
complaints about who is doing what. A number of the teams agreed that this had been
discussed in the past, and that lunches had been agreed on. Steve pointed out that at
least 4 of the Clubs did not have breakfast service available anyway, and a couple were
already having to bring in food from an outside vendor for the lunches. Everyone
Everyone agreed that the start times of 9:30 remain in place.
Motion to maintain the lunches as the meal provided, unless the two representatives
agreed to something different and communicate it well in advance of the playing date.
Moved by Tim Frost (Elm Creek), seconded by Norm Morrissette. Carried (but not
unanimous)
6. A proposed Schedule for 2023 was distributed to the Representatives prior to the
meeting. Steve explained how it was a reverse of the Home and Away games from this
year, but that the dates were moved around so that the same teams wouldn’t always
play at the same time of the season every year.
There was discussion about the Long Weekend effects at certain Clubs. It was determined
that if there were difficulties scheduling a match, the home representative would
communicate directly with the visiting representative to ensure a mutually
acceptable alternative date.
The Schedule was accepted as presented.
7. Steve reviewed the Wind-up results from Elm Creek and noted the support and guidance
from Clark Sissons from the host Club. Everyone agreed that it was a great event. Steve
indicated that the host Club would be totally involved in the planning and running of the
event, and would set the costs.
Discussion of venues for upcoming Wind-ups determined that it will be Quarry Oaks in
2024, Portage in 2025, and Warren in 2026.
Motion to accept the 3 Clubs for future Wind-ups.
Moved by Brian Foster, seconded by Norm Morrissette. Carried
8. Handicap restrictions for teams was a point of concern several times throughout the
season. Representatives discussed the challenges they sometimes have when trying to
put together a team based on the handicap rules. There was some talk about the use of
red tees for higher ages or handicaps, but that was quickly dismissed. In the end, it was
agreed that we should be following the rules as much as possible, using a player’s
current handicap.
9. 2023 fees were set to remain at $75 per team for entry, and a guarantee of 2 players to
attend the Wind-up. Otherwise, it would be an additional $150.
10. Feedback on Rules and Guidelines consisted mainly of the restriction regarding COVID
vaccination. After discussion, it was determined that we would follow public health
guidelines, which currently do not call for that requirement.
Motion to strike the vaccination requirement from the Rules and Guidelines for 2023.
Moved by Barry Bewick (Oakwood), seconded by Lino Santos (Warren). Carried (but not
unanimous)
11. There was one note under other business. Brian Foster noted that the team
representatives of the host Club should ensure that the visiting team is welcomed and
provided with whatever information they need to prepare for their round. He felt there were
times that the visiting teams felt ignored and unsure of where to go and what to do at the
different Clubs. Everyone agreed that it was something to look after in 2023.
12. Format of governing officers was a topic brought up by Steve. He indicated that with
only one person responsible for the entire league, it could cause some problems if that
person was not available. Discussion around this topic seemed to suggest a back-up
person for the President/Convenor. Nobody appeared to step forward for that role.
13. Election of officers was a discussion about the roles of the team representatives in the
running of the League. Steve indicated that the representatives were a tremendous help in
getting the League back on its feet and running again. He also indicated that he would like to pass
it along someone else. Discussion centered around the League site and getting information
information there in a timely fashion. The representatives agreed to get the information
in as quickly as possible so that the site remained current.
Doug Brown moved that Steve Wallace continue as League President/Convenor, seconded
by Bruce North. Carried
14. Motion by Lino Santos to adjourn the meeting. Carried
15. Following the meeting, many of the representatives stayed for lunch, and 8 of them
went out to play the course.

A big thank you was extended to Don Code and the Oakwood Committee who hosted the
Annual Windup Tournament. There was good attendance and it was deemed a successful
day, however, there is still the issue that some do not support this tournament. One team,
Portage, had no representation and was to have been charged $130 (2 tournament entry
fees as per the 2018 motion). In lieu of circumstances we forgave this for 2019.
Moved by Bruce North, Carman; seconded by Lorne Gardiner, Transcona Carried
The Tournament rotation is Elm Creek 2020, Bridges 2021, and Winkler 2022. Don
suggested that we complete the list to 5 years as it was previously set. We were going to
do that at the end but it got missed. If teams are interested, please let Don know and we
can discuss.
There was discussion about the start date and end date for our schedule. Week 1 was
bitterly cold this year and we decided on the following motion: To begin the 2020 Schedule
on May 11.
Moved by Doug Brown, Bridges; seconded by Dale Ell, Elm Creek Carried
The key is teams communicating ahead of time by email of phone. Communication will
follow with the final schedule in February/March.
Regarding communication: There was a discussion regarding breakfast or lunch which
resulted in the following motion: Clubs to provide lunch after the match.
Moved by Paul Gair, Selkirk; seconded by Doug Brown, Bridges Carried
Don thanked Menno Zacharias for his work as statistician this year. Menno is not playing
in the league next year but agreed to continue as statistician if we chose. It was agreed
by all that he did a great job and we would like him to continue. Discussion ensured on
reporting and while home team is responsible for reporting it was agreed that club reps
notify Menno as soon as possible after completion of game. Reps are to notify Menno if
there is a postponement.
Moved by Doug Brown; seconded by Ray Chrunyk, Assiniboine
The next agenda item was discussion about teams. There is a concern about continuity
from Portage because of a lack of a current rep. Bruce North volunteered to contact them
and hope we find a new rep.
This also led to discussion about new teams. It was brought up by George Daniels that
Brian Campbell was inquiring about John Blumberg. Don mentioned that Brian had
inquired in the spring as the schedule was going out. It was agreed that if Blumberg
contacts with intent and Portage does not return we could take them on. However, length
of season seems to keep us limited to 14 teams so if all are returning we would not take
on an extra team.
Don Revel brought up the issue of elections and Lorne Gardiner moved nominations
closed with Don to remain as President.
Harold Cherwinski moved for adjournament. 2020 fees were taken.
For those not in attendance, you may make a cheque to Don Revel for $75 and mail to
Box 981 Carman, Manitoba R0G 0J0.
Thanks to Harold and Peter.

Agenda
Meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m.
1. Motion to approve the circulated agenda by Lorne Gardiner, Transcona
Seconded by: Neil Martin, Carman Carried
2. Don presented a financial statement. A copy of the current and updated statement after
this meeting will be attached. We should have $1099 in the bank. (Plastic bag) Leading
into this meeting before fees were collected we had $249 cash. We agreed to keep the
2019 fees at $75. Motion to accept the Financial Statement.
Moved by Wayne Oliver, Bridges; seconded by Lorne Gardiner, Transcona Carried
3. The minutes of the meeting from September 25, 2017 held at Larters were circulated,
read and discussed. A name correction was made.
We did not do a motion to accept.
4. A big thank you was extended to Harold Cherwinski and Warren Barker and Larters who
hosted the Annual Windup Tournament. There was good attendance and it was deemed
a successful day however, there is still the issue that many do not support this
tournament. It was suggested that we need to tell our members that our golf clubs
support us throughout the year with 7 days of 3 tee times (equates to 42 comp
rounds per year) and we need to be aware of this and support the Annual
Tournament which is our way of offering some payback to the host club. THE FLIP
SIDE IS THAT IF WE DON’T DO STUFF LIKE THIS THEN COURSES MAY SUGGEST
WE PAY GREEN Fees. Support for an Annual Tournament which may cost $75 and
includes a meal and prizes is a small price to pay. Oakwood is to host in 2019. We
did a draw for following with 3 teams added: Elm Creek 2020; Bridges 2021 and Winkler
2022. It was still discussed the lack of support from some teams. The following
motion resulted: There must be a minimum of 2 people representing each club at
the tournament or the team will be charged 2 entry fees.
Moved by Wayne Oliver, Bridges; seconded by Paul Gair, Selkirk Carried
5. Portage Senior Men's is always the last Monday in June so if we have 15 teams and
bye week we will schedule for that for Portage. (Currently with 14 teams it will need to be
arranged.) The key is teams communicating ahead of time by email or phone.
Communication will follow with the final schedule in February/March.
6. Regarding communication: Previously it was restated that the visiting team can request
either breakfast or lunch. This should be done by prior communication. There are some
specific situations:
1) Assiniboine and Meadows do not have breakfast facilities so lunch is the plan.
2) Wildewood will be without a clubhouse and will have off-course arrangements.
3) Portage indicated they may choose lunch in certain situations.
4) Bridges will have lunch It was agreed to leave as is unless individual clubs want to
plan for lunch
7. Don thanked Menno Zacharias for his work as statistician this year. Menno is not
playing in the league next year but agreed to continue as statistician if we choose.
It was agreed by all that he did a great job and we would like him to continue.
Don will confirm.
8. The next agenda item was discussion about teams. Meadows is to close this year and
there are 3 options which we discussed. Because of the size of the Men’s league at
Meadows, Harold stated that there has been a discussion about that league coming to
Larters, the mother club, and the possibility of 2 teams out of Larters – 1 being the
Meadows team. There was also a request for a team out of Lorette (this is a 9-hole course
and they wanted to come with a specific request to change our league starting time. Both
were turned down regarding Lorette.) A new request from a team from Quarry Oaks was
discussed with the following motion resulting: To either accept the Quarry Oaks possibility
or the 2nd Meadows/Larters team or both.
Moved by Wayne Oliver, Bridges; seconded by Paul Gair, Selkirk. Carried
9. Don Revel brought up the issue of elections.
Don was nominated by Lorne Gardiner all were in favour.
10. Adjournment at 10:40 am. 2018 fees were taken.
For those not in attendance, you may make a cheque to Don Revel for $75 and mail to
Box 981 Carman, Manitoba R0G 0J0.
It was a very cold day and there was no interest in golfing.
Thanks to Harold, Warren and Peter.

blocks. There was also mention that in at least 2 courses the Red tees are 1000
yard or more different from the whites. Consensus was reached and it resulted in

cash seems to be good in cases where there isn’t an actual Pro Shop, however,
