Golf

Marnie MacMillan was born in Toronto, came to Saskatoon with her family at the age of two and attended Buena Vista School. She went back east to graduate from high school in Toronto and from a physical education program at McGill University.

Her early golf was played at the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club where her teacher was Bill Kinnear. She competed in the Saskatchewan championships in 1936, finishing second, and competed in the Canadian championships in 1937.

Marnie's adult years of playing golf have been at the Riverside Country Club where she was on the sports committee, then women's club captain and also served a term as northern handicap director on the executive of the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian association.

In 1963, she was elected to the national executive of the Canadian Ladies' Golf Association for a three-year term, the first Saskatchewan woman to be so honored. During her term on the national executive, she wrote a Course Rating Booklet. In 1967, Marnie was chairperson when the Canadian Ladies Open golf championships came to Riverside.

She has been a life member at Riverside since 1981 and has been the club's archivist.
