Manitoba Amateur Golf Championships:

After months and months of hard work and determination, Dauphin's Karla Tycholiz headed to Quebec this past weekend to take part in the Canadian National Bodybuilding Championships.

And, what a weekend it ended up being for the Dauphinite. She won first place in the Grand Masters 45+ category and was second place in the Figure C height category.

"There's been a lot of hard work that has gone into this," said Tycholiz. "I trained for about six months to just be able to compete at the competition."

"It feels absolutely fantastic," she added. "It kind of verifies all the hard work I put in the gym, and out of the gym with the strict food eating. I had so much support from my husband, family, and friends which made all the difference in doing well at the competition."

Taking a look back at the one-day event in Laval, Quebec, Tycholiz knows exactly what her favourite part was... besides doing so well.

"Just meeting all of the people," said Tycholiz. "All of them were so kind, friendly and just great people to be around. It was great to meet people who have been through the same grind and journey as I have."

The Champion is now back in the Parkland, but she's not sure if she'll compete again in the future.

"Winning definitely opened up some opportunities, but I don't know what's up next for me," said Tycholiz. "I'm just trying to take it all in, and I want to figure out if and when I'll compete again." 

Two years ago, Karla placed seventh at the National Championships, so this result came as a surprise.

"I was definitely really surprised to place so high this time around," she added.

Dauphin's Connor Shaw made the trip back from Winnipeg this past weekend for the Grand Plains Celebrity Classic.

And, he's sure thankful he did. Playing in a foursome with Riese Gaber, Braden Clement, and Christian Laughland, Shaw came up to the team's second shot on the par 5, 6th hole and after he hit it, the team didn't need anymore.

That's because, from just about 180 yards out, Shaw holed it out for albatross.

"It felt pretty amazing," said Shaw. "Braden had a solid drive that put us near the right bunker. The pin was in the back left and that's where the wind was going as well. So I knew I just had to put a good swing on it and hit the middle of the green."

"We watched it land about four or five feet from the hole, and we saw it spin over," he added. "We were about 99% sure it went in, but we couldn't be for sure. So, we got Scotty to drive up there and sure enough, it went in. It was a really cool moment for sure."

The odds of making an albatross are a shocking estimated six-million to one. 

Shaw and his foursome ended up shooting 15-under, one behind the eventual winners.

"We were kind of head to head with them all day," said Shaw. "We made par on the first couple holes so they got an early lead. But, that albatross put us back in it against them. Last year we beat them by one, and this year they beat us by one, so it was a fun competitive day."

"It was cool to have a little competition in there for sure," he added. "Overall, it was just a great day."

Throughout his golfing career, Shaw has had some very high moments, but this albatross ranks higher than all.

"It's got to be #1," said Shaw. "In the Manitoba Jr, I hit one in from 180 yards, and I've hit a few in from like 100. I think the difference from the one at the Manitoba Jr. from 180 was that I hit this one exactly the way I wanted too."

"Before the shot, I drew it up in my head and I did exactly what I drew up," he added. "It's easily the best shot I've ever hit."

Shaw was slated to tee it up in the Manitoba Amateur which gets underway today, but a wrist injury has prevented him from doing so.

Today’s celebrity announcement Cody McLeod.

He will take part in the Grand Plains Celebrity Golf Classic at the Gilbert Plains Country Club.

McLeod currently plays with the New York Rangers.

He was born in Binscarth and played his junior hockey with the MJHL's Waywayseecappo Wolverines and the WHL's Portland Winterhawks where he racked up well over one hundred points in his career.

Two seasons ago McLeod helped the Nashville Predators to the Stanley Cup Final where they came up short to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games.

The "Scramble of the Summer" is sold out.

Keaton Jameson wore a Swan Valley Stampeders jersey for three seasons, and now the 20-year-old is set to wear a Manitoba Bisons jersey.

The hard-checking highly skilled forward has committed to play for the University of Manitoba Bisons hockey team in the fall.

"I'm really excited," said Jameson. "I think it's a great opportunity for me absolutely. I'm really excited to go there. It's a great program, and it allows me to keep playing at a higher level."

Jameson played his first season with the Stamps during the 2015-16 campaign, and he had just seven points as a league rookie. He followed that up with a very effective 44 point campaign in the 2016-17 season.

This past campaign was by far Jameson's most effective and successful one as a Jr. hockey player as he smashed his previous high, with 70 points in 59 games. Throughout the three seasons, Keaton missed just 11 games, and 10 of those were in his first season with the team.

After being a rookie in the MJHL a few years ago, Jameson will once again be a rookie on the Bisons team, but he's not really worried about it.

"I think it's going to be alright," said Jameson. "It's definitely going to be a little bit of a change. Like in junior, you're playing with younger kids out there, but at university, these guys are all grown men. I'm going to have to help out with things around the room and what not, but I don't think it'll be a hassle on me or anything like that."

Keaton is one of a few MJHLers that have committed to the Bisons, which included Portage Terriers defencemen Mackenzie Dwyer. 

"It's awesome to see that guys I've played against over the past few years are going to be on my team now," he added. "I just want to go out there, and be a consistent player and get better as the season goes on. If I do that, I'm confident I'll be getting my fair share of ice time."

With the offseason well underway, this is a time for the 20-year-old to grind it out to make sure he's prepared for camp in the fall.

"I love to use the summer as a time to kind of separate myself from others," he added. "I think the offseason is huge for guys who want to get better and get to the next level. I'm training hard right now, skating a lot and trying to improve in any way I can."

Jameson looks back at his time with the Stampeders as a time that allowed him to improve immensely, and he backed it up with his production each year.

"I had some really good coaches, and I played with some really good teammates in Swan River," he added. "My time in Swan has made me the player I am today. All the work I put in there, is the reason I'm here today."
