Tom Humniski wins Senior Men’s title

Calling the Manitoba senior men’s golf championship a roller- coaster ride for Tom Humniski would be putting it mildly. The Elmhurst Golf and Country Club member won his first senior men’s crown by one stroke over a hard-charging Bruce North of Carman and by two shots over defending champion Mike Berney of Transcona. Humniski fired rounds of 73-70-78 at Transcona Golf Club to finish with an 8-over-par total of 221. North (72-80-70) and Berney (74- 73-76) also made the provincial team. Tom Humniski Senior Champ St. Charles’ Ken Mould (73-80-71) ended up in fourth spot, while North and Niakwa’s Tom Wilson shared lead after the first round, St. Charles’ Gavin Speirs, Elmhurst’s Dean Herak and St. Boni- with Humniski just a shot back. North and Wilson fell back after face’s Greg Kuleza tied for fifth. the second round with scores of 80 and 81 respectively, but Hum- niski shot into the lead thanks to a 1-under 70. He took a four- stroke lead over Berney into the final round. Humniski was cruising along in the final round until he got to the eighth hole. That’s where he started a bogey-bogey-double-bogey streak that cut into his lead. North, meanwhile, birdied 12, 14 and 15 en route to a closing 70 to put some heat on the leader. Humniski birdied 12 and bogeyed four of his final six holes, but it was enough to hold on for the victory. North was Manitoba’s top finisher at the Canadian senior men’s championship in Port Blanford, N.L., where he carded rounds of 77, 80, 80 and 75 to finish in a tie for 26th. Berney tied for 52nd after rounds of 83, 77, 76 and 90. Humniski (85-83) failed to qualify for the final two rounds. Manitoba, meanwhile, finished eighth in the inter-provincial team competition with a 33-over total. That was 24 shots behind the winners from B.C.

Mindy Lichtman was unable to defend her Manitoba women’s amateur title in 2011, but that doesn’t mean she went away empty handed. The St. Boniface member won not only the Manitoba women’s match play crown, but the Women’s City and District championship as well.

Lichtman picked up where she left off in 2010, shooting 79-74 in the match play qualifier in Winkler to claim medallist honours by two strokes over Glendale’s Jenna Roadley (76-79). St. Boni- face’s Kathryn McKenzie was third after back-to-back 78s. After a first-round bye, Lichtman beat Blumberg’sMaria Funston 3 and 2 at Breezy Bend, and then she downed Elmhurst’s Bri-ann Tokariwski 4 and 3 to reach the final against McKenzie. Lichtman emerged victorious in the hard-fought championship match, winning 2 and 1 in the 36-hole battle. Lichtman kept her fine play going at the City and District, carding an even-par 73 at Teulon Golf and Country Club in the first round.

By Kirk Penton

New golf projects in Manitoba, for a variety of reasons, are few and far between in 2012. on Manitoba That doesn’t mean it’s completely quiet, however. One Winnipeg golf course is enjoying its first full year at its new site, while another project in rural Manitoba is being resurrected. Here’s a look at what’s new in 2012 on the Golf Scene Manitoba golf scene.

Tom Kinsman is glad he finally has just one place to call home. Southwood Golf and Country Club is enjoying its first full year in its new home, adjacent to the Trappist Monastery Ruins in St. Norbert on the south end of Winnipeg. The former Southwood was located in Fort Garry, next to the University of Manitoba, and both courses were used during the 2011 golf season. “It’s nice to be here,” Kinsman says. “We were back and forth last year, and it was a difficult environment both for the members and the staff. Everybody is just very happy to be here and starting the year here. It’s a lot more comfortable for everybody.” The new 18-hole layout, which was designed by Canadian architect Thomas McBroom, is a links course that caters to nearly every kind of golfer. Featuring five sets of tees, the course can NLT play as short as 5,200 yards to as long as 7,300. will help you: The fescue was still trying to bloom on the front nine early in 2012, which “it didn’t have much of a chance to do last year,” Kinsman • Assess your physical condition says. “It’ll be caught up to the back nine probably by August.” and track changes • Set goals The course doesn’t feature many trees, so the typical windy day can make the new Southwood quite the test for the • Make a nutritional plan members. and learn better eating habits • Learn proper strength training technique • Improve endurance • Find motivation • Improve your appearance • Feel better • Improve your health • Gain muscle and lose fat • Tone your muscles • Improve mental alertness • Reach your goals

“They just take some of the windy days as part of the course challenge and they adjust their tees accordingly,” Kinsman says. The new golf course isn’t the only change at Southwood this year. Longtime superintendent Ray Savard retired at the end of 2011, and he was replaced by Dustin How, who spent the last three years working on the new course.
