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.
