Isa Beairsto

Class of 2015

Athletes

Her record was matched twice, but Isa Beairsto was the first to win the Manitoba Amateur golf championship six times.

She accomplished the feat during a 15-year period in the early days of competitive golf in the province. Beairsto claimed the honors in 1925, 1926, 1931, 1933, 1939 and 1940.

For good measure, she also won the City and District championship seven times in 1925, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1937; won the Manitoba Senior Women’s championship in 1946; and was a 13-time winner of the St. Charles Country Club championship.

While her record six provincial amateur championships has never been bettered, it was matched by two other outstanding Manitoba female golfers. Marg Homenuik of Rossmere won the provincial honors in 1961,1962,1963,1964, 1966 and 1972. Aileen Robertson of St. Charles was the Manitoba champion in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995 and 1996.

On male side, no Manitoban has claimed more than five Manitoba Amateur titles.

Isa Beairsto is an inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame and Museum Inc., September 28, 2015.
