Brenda Burch has been honored as the 17th recipient of the Golf Manitoba Volunteer Distinguished Service Award. The announcement was made during the 2022 Golf Manitoba Awards event that was held on November 2 at the Breezy Bend Country Club.

Brenda began her volunteerism in the early 1970s with the Manitoba Ladies’ Golf Association as the Assistant Tournament Director. After two decades of running championships, she joined the course rating team in 1997 and continued until her retirement in 2019. 

During her time with the MLGA and Golf Manitoba, Brenda rated over 110 courses in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. In addition to her field work, Brenda attended numerous provincial, national and USGA course rating seminars. Her expertise and dedication to course rating earned her the distinction of Level 4 Master Rater, which there are few of in Canada.

Falcon Ladies League golf this winter is in Palm Springs this year and will held January 23-27, 2023. We will be planning 3 golf games the area. If any of you are interested in coming you can text or email me, Hildy Dyck, at wdyck@mymts.net or you can email Margaret Pilchar at mjpilchar@gmail.com to let us know.

Please contact us by the end of November so we can make the appropriate arrangements.

Thanks Hildy
