The Manitoba Golf Superintendents Association had a very successful first meeting on May 27th in Lorette. Over 20 people attended and took part in a roundtable discussion, with topics including irrigation, spring maintenance, disease control and cultural practices with the abnormal spring. The roundtable discussion was followed by a 9 hole round of alternate shot golf. The course was in fantastic condition with Mario Gagnon and Evan Zacharias taking home first place and winning free entry to the September Meeting.

Big thank you to the Host Superintendent, Ian Martinusen.

We look forward to seeing you all at the John B. Steel event at Clear Lake Golf Course on June 24th. Make sure to sign up quick as the event has limited capacity!
