Pierre Blouin, chief executive officer of MTS Allstream Inc. has announced that MTS Allstream has signed a sponsorship deal with Adam Speirs, one of the country’s top professional golfers. Last year, Speirs ranked 13th overall on the Canadian Tour Order of Merit and won the Greater Vancouver Charity Classic. The two- time U.S. Open competitor also was a member of Team Canada, the team champions of the Canadian Tour’s International Team Matches in 2007 and 2008. “On behalf of our 6,000 employees across the country, I want to welcome Adam to the MTS Allstream family,” said Blouin. “We are thrilled to offer our support to one of Canada’s great golfers, and we look forward to cheering him on as he takes on new challeng- es in the year ahead.” As part of this sponsorship agreement, Speirs will represent MTS Allstream at various golf tournaments and other events across Canada. In addition to the financial support he will receive to help him continue training and attending golf competitions around the world, Speirs will also be outfitted with MTS Allstream equipment and services – including a BlackBerry™ World Edition – to help him stay connected while on the road. “I’m a proud Winnipegger, so teaming up with MTS Allstream is a natural fit. We share strong roots in Manitoba, yet we both compete on the national scene,” said Speirs. “I look forward to being an ambassador for MTS Allstream and its employees.” This year, Speirs expects to participate in a number of competitions that will take him across the globe – from New York to Mexico, and from South Africa to Argentina and Chile.

Kirton Continued from page 23 school in San Diego, CA, in March and, if that wasn’t successful he would move on to the Canadian spring qualifier in April at Parksville, BC. Hopefully he would earn his Canadian Tour card. If not, he still intended to seek his pro career through some Monday qualifying rounds and/or playing on one of the satellite tours.

Kirton started his 2008 season by tying for eighth in the medal rounds for the Match Play championship, then winning five matches to claim the title. Along the way, he sidelined fellow Pine Ridge golfer Tyler Mancini, who won the medal honours, and wound up with a 3-and-2 victory over Elmhurst’s Peter More in the final.

More and Garth Collings of Breezy Bend then dominated the action with Kirton through the Manitoba Amateur and Mid-Amateur championships, all three of them earning places on the two provincial teams.

It took an exciting five extra holes for Kirton to claim the Amateur title after he and Collings both posted eight-under par totals of 280 through four rounds at the Links at the Lake club at Gimli in early July. Kirton had to come from behind, shooting a final round 69 to go with earlier scores of 73-70-68. Collings was the leader through 54 holes with scores of 71-66-72 and closed out with 71 Garth Collings to tie Kirton at 280. Mid-Masters Champ

By RALPH BAGLEY New golf courses continue to spring up around Manitoba and it appears the trend will be staying with us for at least a few more Manitoba years. This seems apparent after our annual check-up of What’s New on the Manitoba Golf Scene. This year’s report is highlighted by the opening of one new 18- hole layout last season, a couple of new courses to be opened to the public this year, a re-opening of another course, the re-opening of an indoor practice facility, changes and updates at several Golf layouts and construction under way on new courses expected to be ready for play in 2010 or 2011.

The new course to greet Manitoba golfers in 2008 was Oak Island Golf at the Four Seasons Island Resort near Oak Lake in the western region. It went into operation at the start of the 2008 season and was attracting many golfers from the Brandon area Scene during its opening period.

Noted and familiar names are featured on the various streets through the residential development – such as Poplar Ridge Drive, Augusta Way, St. Andrews Bay, La Costa Cove and Glen Abby Lane. Further information on the course and the residential development is available through the website at: www.golfpoplarridge.com.

THE LINKS AT CROW WING Weather has been a big factor in the progress of the Crow Wing Development at Niverville and the goal is to have the driving range in operation early this spring and a hope to allow some play on the first nine holes before the end of this season. A full course opening is planned in 2010.

The links-style Crow Wing layout, designed by Graham Cooke, has been under construction since 2005 and features grassy mounds and internal lakes as it surrounds a residential development. Water will come into play on 12 of the 18 holes on the course, which will measure a challenging 7400 yards from the back tees and about 5000 yards from the front tees.

40 30th Edition - Golf Manitoba Journal 2009 Mike Trager named Superintendent of the Year

Mike Trager, head man at the Virden Wellview Golf Club, has been chosen by the Manitoba Golf Superintendents Association as the 2008 Superintendent of the Year. “Being recognized by one’s peers is the best part of winning an award like this,” said the 33-year-old Trager, who has been the head superintendent at the Virden club for six years. “We have a nice layout at Virden and there have been several improvements made in recent years.” Trager got his start in the golf course industry back in 1994 at the age of 17 when he worked as a member of the grounds crew at Rossmere Country Club. After four years, he left the business and spent three years working as an electrician, but the desire for the outside work on the golf course brought him back. He attended the Greenspace course at Red River College from 1998 to 2000, then returned to Rossmere as a member of the crew. In 2002, he moved to Virden to become assistant superintendent under George Trowell and moved up to head superintendent the following year. Mike Trager - Superintendent of the Year Trager has also been an active member of the board of directors of the MGSA for several years and is the current vice-president of the provincial association, GO Trager and his wife Joanne have a two-year-old daughter Maya.

Golf Manitoba Journal 2009 - 30th Edition 61 As the governing body for amateur golf in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario, Golf Manitoba has established a unique opportunity for corporate partnerships.

Following a comprehensive study conducted by the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) in 2006, approximately 5.95 million Canadians are playing golf. On a provincial level, the study showed that there are 282,000 active golfers in the Province of Manitoba, which represents the second highest per capita rate of participation in Canada (28.6%). Of that total, there are 196,000 active male golfers and 86,000 active female golfers.

Golf Manitoba recognizes that while the interest in the game of golf continues to grow at an amazing rate, the requirement to provide rst class programs for golfers of all ages remains our top priority. As a lifetime sport, Golf Manitoba remains focused on enhancing already successful programming such as provincial championships in numerous categories, player development programs and introductory programming and instruction targeted at youth in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario.

Some of the properties that are available are: • Men’s and Women’s (adult and junior) competitive events • Player Development Initiatives such as golf in schools, future links, etc. • Contributions to the Manitoba Golf Scholarship Fund

Golf Manitoba would like to thank the following organizations for their assistance in 2009
