Like all the other sports organizations which enjoyed office space at 200 Main Street for several years, they had to make the move to the new Sport Manitoba building on Pacific Avenue. However, that building wasn’t ready when they had to vacate the Main Street quarters, so the staff had to pack up their things and moved to a temporary Next to winter location at Rossmere Country Club.

In looking toward the 2010 season, the goal of this article is to increase the awareness of three key variables golf course superintendents have to manage every golf season, so that you, the golfer, will play on throughout the great golf courses of Manitoba.
