Summer has arrived in Manitoba and it has been warm and humid over the past few days. Rainfall has been pretty hit and miss throughout the province as some areas have received some significant amounts when thunderstorms have rolled through and others are a little on the dry side. From a golfing standpoint everyone I have spoken with so far is reporting that their clubs are extremely busy as golfers seem to be spending less time on other things that typically compete with golf. Hopefully we can continue this trend in the coming years and increased participation can be a silver lining to a difficult situation.

CGSA members should have received an email about using the new membership system to pay your 2020-2021 membership dues. It will allow you to update your contact information and indicate who can see it, post or search for a job, track your certification credits and much more. We will be posting tips on using the new membership system on our website. Visit the link below for more details and to pay your dues. We realize many have been faced with financial difficulties so please note that there is a grace period on your membership. Should you have any concerns renewing at this time, please reach out to CGSA staff to discuss options.
