' '1?i2fZ2- . , cr I F 1 VARSITY golfers not only enjoyed one of the most successful seasons that Manitoba has ever wit- nessed, but have also seen this ancient old Scotch game rise in our college to its rightful place as one of the major sports. The U, Golf Club, formed with a campus-wide membership, had close to two hundred students take advantage of the facilities it was able to provide as a part of this season's A.B.C. program. For the first time in Manitoba's history and unique to Canadian golf, our Varsity team was able to obtain entries in the Provincial Inter-club Compe- JIM DOAK, tion, and placed well against some of the West's finest golfers. Roy MacDonald captained the team which included such stars as Bill Corner, Bob Swanson and Herb Hartley. Every student attending the University was given an opportunity to play golf for a small sum at Tuxedo course with which our club was affiliated this season. The Fall Season opened with the HU. Championships. There were thirteen flights in the men's and women's sections for which one hundred and ten players qualified. Alex Black, nephew of Vancouver's famous pro and cousin of one of Canada's leading golfers, Ken Black, defeated Howard Bennett, Manitoba Amateur Champion, 19403 Canadian Junior titlist, 1939, in the major upset in Manitoba's golfing circles this year. Black won the McKinney Trophy on the last green when Bennett's putter faltered and let down a true Sportsman. Beth Tooley won the new Felstead Trophy when she outstroked Marion Duncan by two shots. Roy MacDonald took the University Open with Bill Corner as runner-up. The first Field Day in the history of Varsity golf wound up the season. Two trophies and thirty prizes were presented. Commerce and Home Economics won the Inter-faculty competition. Other faculties entered were Accountancy, Arts, Junior Division and St. Mary's. Forty-six golfers stayed for dinner after the field events of driving, approaching, putting and so forth. The season was kept open for three months after the snow had fallen by ten rather enthusiastic students who made history in those countries where snow falls when, equipped with skiis, clubs and black golf balls, they played a series of golf games over three of the best courses in the dead of winter in a foot of snow. A great deal of credit for such a successful season goes to Roy MacDonald. Howard Bennett, Bill Corner and Bob Swanson, who with their enthusiasm and star golfing have laid a foundation for the future of the Golf Club. Other members of the executive include: Jim Doak, president, Marion Duncan, chairman of women's golf: Pat Gallagher, secretaryg John Craig, Ed Christie, Les Rowland, and the faculty representatives.
