One of Manitoba’s best-known amateur golfers, Allan Boes had particular domination over the provincial golf scene during the 1940s.

Four times - in 1941, 1943, 1944 and 1948 - this long-time member of Southwood Golf and Country Club captured both the Manitoba Open and Manitoba Amateur championships. He played on Manitoba’s Willingdon Cup team 10 times and it could have been many more but that competition was suspended from 1940 to 1945 because of the war.

Allan was on the provincial team in 1933 and 1934, returned in 1938 and 1939, then was on six consecutive teams after the war, from 1946 through 1951.

In addition to his four double-championship years in the 1940's, he added a Manitoba senior championship to his long list of accomplishments in 1968.

He was a life member at Southwood and was that club’s champion 15 times, including a stretch of 10 in a row.

Allan was the first golfer to be inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1983 and he is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

Representing the province 25 times as a member of Manitoba teams (11 amateur and 14 senior) is the highlight of a successful golf career for Anne Tachan from Elmhurst Golf and Country Club.

Anne was a late starter at the sport, taking up golf after her marriage to Joe Tachan, who was then the Elmhurst club pro. With some lessons from him, she got more and more involved with the game.

Her 11 Manitoba amateur team appearances were between 1957 and 1969, and she went on to play on 14 senior teams from 1971 to 1985. She was on Manitoba’s winning team at the 1962 amateur championship and was on Manitoba teams that won the low net honors three times in senior competition.

Anne won the Manitoba senior women's championship 10 times from 1966 through 1982, including one string of five in a row from 1971 to 1975. She won the Elmhurst women's club championship 14 times.

Anne was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

He was known as “The Boy Wonder” back in 1932 when Bobby Reith of the Assiniboine Golf Club won his first Manitoba amateur championship at the tender age of 17.

Two years earlier, Bobby captured the Manitoba junior championship at age 15. He went on to win the provincial amateur title four more times, in 1933, 1935, 1936 and 1937 and also claimed the Manitoba open championships in 1932, 1934 and 1936.

He also played on six Manitoba Willingdon Cup teams from 1931 to 1937. He was the medallist at the 1933 Canadian amateur championship.

After turning professional, Bobby returned to Assiniboine to follow in the footsteps of his father Charlie as the club pro. He added another Manitoba Open title to his accomplishments in 1950.

He later moved south to round out his career as golf pro at the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, until his retirement.

Bobby was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1986 and is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

Known as one of the country’s most consistent figures in professional golf since the 1970s, Dan Halldorson’s main claim to fame is an honor that extends beyond the borders of Canada.

Dan is the only Canadian with two World Cup victories, taking the title in 1980 with Jim Nelford and in 1985 with Dave Barr.

He was playing out of Brandon when he made his first mark on the golf scene, winning the Manitoba junior championship in 1970. A year later, he was Manitoba PGA Champion.

Dan won two PGA tournaments in 1980 and 1986 and had a total of 28 top-10 finishes to his credit on the PGA tour. He won the Manitoba Open championship four times, in 1977, 1978, 1983 and 1984 and also won provincial open titles in Saskatchewan in 1977 and Quebec in 1980.

He won the Canadian PGA championship in 1986 and won the Canadian Tour Order of Merit in 1983.

Dan was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 2002 and is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

From the time he played out of St. Charles Country Club to win the Manitoba junior championship in 1954 and 1955 and added the Canadian junior title in 1955, George Knudson was destined to become one of the best golfers ever produced in Canada.

George went on to win eight events on the PGA Tour in an 11-year span from 1961 to 1972 and built a reputation as one of the best swingers in the game. He was a member of the Canada Cup team nine times and claimed low individual honors in 1966 and teamed with Al Balding to win the world team title in 1986.

In addition to his PGA successes, the Knudson record includes three Manitoba Open championships in 1958, 1959 and 1960. He won five Canadian PGA titles and was five times low Canadian player in the Canadian Open.

His greatest showing in the Masters championship was in 1969 he finished in a tie for second place with Tom Weiskopf and Billy Casper, one shot behind the winning George Archer.

George was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 1986, Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1988 and he is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

They called him “Jumbo” and he was a big man on the Manitoba golf scene for many years, highlighted by winning the Canadian men’s amateur championship in 1968.

Jimmy was the first male golfer in Manitoba to capture the provincial championships in three age brackets. He took the junior title in 1951, was the amateur champion in 1975 and added two Manitoba senior titles in 1989 and 1990. He died in 1991 at the age of 58.

He played on 11 Manitoba Willingdon Cup teams between 1968 and 1985, his final two team appearances playing out  of the Sandy Hook Golf Club after earlier play from Elmhurst. He also served as a professional for sometime.

To add further glory to his amateur championship in 1968, Jimmy was also the medallist in that event. He also was a dominant figure on the  national senior scene, finishing second once and third two times.

Jimmy was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

Serving as the first president of the Canadian Golf Course Superintendents Association in 1967 was a highlight in the career of John B. Steel, who was the superintendent at St. Charles Country Club for many years.

He was well respected across Canada and in his home province and was a leader in the development of the profession which saw the term “greenskeeper” disappear from the golf language to be replaced by the more descriptive term “course superintendent”.

John was also a founding member of the Manitoba Golf Course Superintendents Association in 1950 and was president of the provincial body on three occasions - 1952-53, 1960-61 and 1976.

He was elected as honorary life member of both the Manitoba and Canadian associations in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the development of the profession of golf superintendents.

John was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 1988, four years before his death in 1992 at the age of 91, and he is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.

Serving a two-year term as president of the Canadian Ladies' Golf Association in 1982-83 was the highlight of a career of volunteerism for Peggy Colonello.

She also served as president of the Manitoba Ladies' Golf Association in 1974 - 76 and was an active participant in the affairs of her home course, the Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, where she and husband Alex have been members since 1948.

During her time on the national executive, Peggy virtually circled the planet as she attended World and Commonwealth championships in such places as Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Columbia, Britain and Switzerland, not to mention the various Canadian events in which she was involved.

She has been a team manager, a diplomat, a captain and a referee at numerous golf events. While she loved to participate as a player, her greatest satisfaction was in service to the sport as a volunteer.

She was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and is an inaugural inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame & Museum Inc., September 29, 2003.
