Amateur sport organizations, such as Golf Saskatchewan depend highly on volunteers to keep operating.

We have board of directors, referees, course raters, and more many people from across Saskatchewan contribute to the game making it better everyday.

The same can be said for golf clubs across the province, the nation, and the globe. Volunteers put in countless hours at clubs every year. Whether its volunteering on rules committees, local boards, mowing greens, cleaning up after storms, or tending flowers, every hand helps keep our courses running.

That’s why Golf Saskatchewan is recognizing volunteers at clubs Saskatchewan wide!

If your club has an extraordinary volunteer(s) and you want them recognized, submit their story to us!

Send a photo and a description of what you nominee does for your club!

Each nominee will be awarded a Golf Saskatchewan prize pack and featured on our website as well as notoriety for the course, plus a province wide winner will be chosen as the 2026 Saskatchewan Golf Volunteer of the Year.

Please forward all nominations to CStork@GolfSaskatchewan.Org. The deadline is Jan. 31, 2027.
