Call to Order:
Minutes: Were read and approved.
Treasurer’s Report: The Club has a new number in
the CD: $3,398.53. Combined with the $33,214.79 in the checking account, we
have a total of $36,613.32.
Publicity: Steve P. has been
monitoring the website and he reports that there have been numerous hits,
lately. This is likely due to the members wanting to know their 2005 tournament
tee times. It’s good to know that the members are relying more on the site for
information. Steve will be posting the rules for the various tournaments, along
with the scorecard formats soon.
Steve
O. mentioned that he is still having trouble accessing the site with the Mac
that he’s using. Steve P. will investigate.
NCGA: The
Big News from the NCGA is that they will stop distributing written reports and
stickers, starting in April of this year. All reporting will be done
electronically. This led, after discussion, to Steve O., who will be without
the onerous duty of sticker maintenance and with tutoring by Ralph, printing out
the members’ monthly handicaps prior to tournaments.
Membership: We
have around 600, which is still normal for this time of year.
Tournaments: The next tournament will be the Skins Game. There was some confusion
over the dates of both the tournament and the Board meeting, but there
shouldn’t be any more from February onward.
Ralph brought up the
possibility of the Pro Shop monitoring the first few hours of the tournaments
so that we could have a feel for the slow foursomes at the beginning of the
field. This led to further refining of our year’s policy for slow play. After
the obligatory discussion, it was decided to issue one warning and, should the
subject group’s play remain out of position per the posted standards, that
group would be assigned the last tee time in the following tournament. They
would then return to their preferred tee time for the next tournament, but,
should their slow play continue, they will inherit the last tee time for the
remainder of the season. Bad attitudes will not be tolerated and can lead to
disqualification, depending on the presiding Director’s judgment.
Old Business:
Bob announced that the Board had given a 2 days’ stay in a Hyatt Regency suite
to John Flachman and his wife.
New Business: None

Respectfully Submitted,
John Christenson, Secretary
