Madeline ‘Maddy’ Tannahill… – by Waxy Gregoire

Madeline Tannahill from Penetang sits back and reminisces about those days when she excelled in the sport of golf.

It all started in 1966 at the Ashburn Country Club in Halifax where she qualified for the tournament by being among the top 16 players in Ontario.

From 1968 to 1979, she competed in Ontario Open Tournament with fields of 90 golfers with her best finish coming in fifth.

Maddy played in many Canadian Ladies golf championships beginning in 1970 at the Oakdale Country Club in Toronto with a five handicap and then in 1974 in Winnipeg. She competed in Ontario Match Play four times.

For a person to qualify for Ontario Match Play, a player had to be in the low 16 in the Ontario Open. In order to do that she had to win a berth on the Huronia District team which in turn dictated four match play playdowns.

Maddy was in the top eight Ontario amateur ladies from 1974 to 1977 which allowed her to be a member of the Ontario Match team.

Maddy captured the Huronia District championship eight times from 1968 to1979 playing two matches a day over a two day period, beating the best golfers from Shanty Bay, Barrie, Midland, Orillia, Collingwood, Brooklea and Horseshoe Valley golf clubs.

It was quite a year for the Tannahills in 1968, Maddy is Don’s twin sister and it was the same year he won the Memorial Cup in hockey.

The same year she won the Midland Golf and Country Club ladies championship and then did it a total of 10 times.

During the 1980 tournament Maddy had recorded 75 on both her first rounds, going into the second day she had a 20 stroke lead over second place.

Madeline held a Canadian Professional Golfers Association Certificate as a teaching pro…what a player.
