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.
