Her career was cut short at the age of 39 in 1977 due to arthritis in her hands and feet, but Margaret (Marg) Homenuik carved out an excellent golf career in Manitoba from 1958 through 1977.
She was a six-time winner of the Manitoba women’s amateur title, including four in a row, and she also won the coveted City and District championship seven times. Her amateur titles were won in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1966 and 1972.
Marg played on 11 provincial amateur teams, as Margaret Kiggins in 1959 and as Marg Homenuik in 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1977. In addition, she declined two team appearances during that period due to family commitments. She also played on one Manitoba junior women’s team (as Margaret Kiggins) in 1958.
With Merlene Netterfield, Heather Lawrence and Anne Tachan, Marg was a member of the only team to win the Canadian women’s amateur team championship in 1962.
She was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and is an inductee into the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame and Museum Inc., September 27, 2004.
