Under new leadership, with more prize money and with hockey star Jonathan Toews playing a larger role, the 2011 Canadian Tour Players Cup event will rank as a major golf attraction at the Pine Ridge Golf Club.

Taking over as executive director for the event is Ryan Hart, who is also president of the local marketing firm mf.1, which has taken over the operation.

Toews will be involved through the week as the host for the tournament and will be joined by some of his hockey friends and other notables for the Jonathan Toews and Friends Celebrity Pro-Am Tournament. Each team will consist of one celebrity, one tour pro and two amateurs.

The traditional Canadian Tour Pro-Am will played with teams comprised of one tour pro and three amateurs.

The 72-hole Players Cup tournament then will be played with increased purse of $300,000 up from the last year’s $250,000, as well as the berth in the Canadian Open championship for the winner.

It’s the second largest event on the Canadian Tour schedule and is expected to attract all of the leading players on the tour since it is also the final event to decide leading money winners who will get invitations to the Canadian Open.

Nicole McMillan, who served as executive director for the tournament in 2010, will be back on the scene as assistant to Hart and husband Rob McMillan has been named the honourary chairman and will participate in the tournament. He is the territory manager for Manitoba Lakehead for Acushnet Canada.

Four of Manitoba golf’s finest wore orchids Monday at the McPhillips Station Casino as players Gary Kullman, Judi Lidstone, Derek Ingram and builder Walter Perchaylo were ushered into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame.

Kullman, 60, excelled as a junior, amateur and mid-amateur while playing on 14 provincial teams.

Skinny, as he was known to his close friends, won the Manitoba men’s amateur title three times (1971, ’73 and ’76) and the Manitoba match play crown twice (1978 and ’79). He was also a finalist for the Manitoba amateur golfer of the year award in 1976.

Kullman thanked his mentors from his junior days at Rossmere.

“Steve Bannatyne, Steve Homeniuk, and Barry Chipka. I learned so much golf from those guys,” he said.

“This makes all the practice and effort I put into the game worth while,” said Lidstone, 59, who won four provincial women’s senior championships in 2002, ’03, ’06 and ’07. She was also runner-up in the Canadian senior championship in 2004 and a finalist for Manitoba amateur golfer of the year in 2003.

For her, golf became both and escape and therapy. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago, and that just made it more rewarding for me to golf. I’m still in treatment now, so any time I can golf I am happy.”

Perchaylo, who died Aug. 13, 2008, entered as a builder.

“I am extremely proud of him,” said his wife Helen Shannon, who represented him at the induction. “I knew that this was something brewing before, but it has finally come, and I am grateful. I wish he were here to see this and accept it.”

Perchaylo served as the golf superintendent at Pine Falls Golf Club from 1960-66, then took over as superintendent at Pine Ridge from 1967-87, as well as the neighbouring Elmhurst Golf and Country Club at the same time from 1968-74.

Perchaylo also served on the board of the Manitoba Golf Superintendents Association for many years.

Ingram, 41, was the MPGA Player of the Year twice won the MPGA championship in 2008. In 2009 he was appointed as head coach of the women’s national team. Last August he switched over to the men’s team.

Twice named the PGA of Canada’s teacher of the year, Ingram hasn’t forgotten his mentor, former Sandy Hook Golf Club professional Jim Doyle. “Without him, and the Doyle family, I probably wouldn’t even be golfing today. They sparked a passion and a love for the game into me,” he said.

Brian Gilhuly, a long time member of the Selkirk Golf and Country Club, has been chosen as the fourth recipient of the Golf Manitoba Distinguished Service Award. The prestigious award was presented at the Golf Manitoba annual awards at Breezy Bend Country Club.

A volunteer worker at the Manitoba Gold Association and Golf Manitoba since 1986. His initial start as a volunteer came as a club representative for the Selkirk club and as a starter and scorer in tournaments.

He joined the Manitoba Gold Association Board of Governors in 1989 and has continued on the board since the amalgamation with the Manitoba Ladies Gold Association in 1004. He was the finance chair from 1990 to 2005.

He  became a course rater when the present course rating and slope system was adopted and he became the chair of the handicap and course rating committee in 2001, following the retirement of Gord Lenton, a role he continues to play. Through the 2010 season, he had completed 177 course ratings.

He has volunteered as a walking scorer at St. Charles Country Club for the LPGA tournament in 1992, the PGA Championship Tour event in 2000 and was a hole marshal for the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open championship.

When he isn’t volunteering for Golf Manitoba, Gilhuly devotes countless hours to the Selkirk Golf and Country Club, where he has served on various committees since 1958. He was a board member at Selkirk from 1960 to 1974 and again from 1986 to the present. He is also the current treasurer of the club, where he has been since 1988. The Selkirk club recognized his long standing commitment in 2004 by honoring him as a life member.

Gilhuly spends countless hours travelling to measure courses prior to actually conducting a course rating. He also spends a lot of time in front of his computer working on ratings as well as trips into the Golf of Manitoba office to process the ratings. His devotion to amateur golf is extremely evident in his passion for course rating as well as his dedication to the board and the association.

“Brian’s long term dedication to the game of golf exemplifies what it means to be a Golf Manitoba Volunteer,” said Gold Manitoba president Harvey Goehring as he made the presentation. “His passion and professionalism of course rating is a true asset to our association. His diligence in all he does is indeed outstanding and we are pleased to recognize him with the Distinguished Service Award.”

Along with the Distinguished Service Award, Golf Manitoba also recognized all volunteers within the association for their years of service to the association. Recognition was given to those individuals reaching the five, 10, 15, 20, and 25-plus years of service.

Gilhuly was recognized in the category for 25 years plus while 15 years awards went to Lorne How and Michelle Lee, a 10 year awards to Florence Mehmel, and five-year awards to Richards Berube, Aija Culley, Gord Hudson and Graham Robson.
