Stan Homenuik began his golf career more than 50 years ago in Saskatchewan, but the highlight has been a 37-year period as the head professional and part owner of the Dauphin Golf Club in Manitoba.
He joins his brothers Ted (inducted in 2004) and Wilf (inducted in 2005) as members of the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame and Museum.
Born January 24, 1940, in Yorkton, his early accomplishments included the Saskatchewan juvenile championship and a place on the Saskatchewan Willingdon Cup team in the 1950s. He also established a course-record 11-under-par 56 at the Deer Park course in Yorkton in 1956. In 1961, he was low amateur at the Canadian Open championship in Saskatoon.
He entered professional ranks as an apprentice under Joe Tachan at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club in the early 1960s and then served as the head pro at Dauphin from 1964 until his retirement in 2001.
He won the Manitoba PGA championship in 1978, was named the MPGA Player of the Year in 1985 and won the MPGA senior championship in 2003.
He competed for 20 years in Canadian professional tour events, played in numerous Canadian Opens, played one year on the Asian Tour and was on the Caribbean Tour four times.
The development of a successful junior program was one of his major projects at the Dauphin club and he also led Dauphin teams to the Manitoba championship twice in the Crown Life team competitions, going on to win the western inter-provincial honours in 1973.
In 1968, Homenuik was recognized by the Dauphin Chamber of Commerce as the Goodwill Ambassador of Golf for his contributions to the area. In 1998, the three golfing Homenuik brothers were inducted into the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame.
Stan is an inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame and Museum Inc., September 24, 2007.
