Absent: Vic Shellenberg & Stu Diamond

 

Call to Order: 7:07 AM by Steve P.

 

Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: The Club has $3,398.53 in the CD, which changes semiannually. Combined with the $31,026.79 in the checking account, we have a total of $34,425.32. George, Ralph and Steve P will meet to discuss the budget for our remaining yearly expenses, since we can expect little income going forward.

 

Publicity: Steve P. again requested articles from the Board Chairmen that he can publish on the website. He suggested pace of play and the new no sticker policy by the NCGA as topics.

 

NCGA: The stickers are in the binder. Steve O. reported that it turns out to be very easy to generate the handicap report from our computer. There was a quick discussion on re-handicapping the course once the 5th green is complete. This is the pro shop’s responsibility, not NCGA’s

 

Membership: We have around 680-still normal for this time of year.

 

Tournaments: The next tournament will be the 4 Man Scramble. Bob and Wayne will work the tournament, using the same scoring procedures. They will also verify the handicaps of the players as they turn in their cards. The leading group in the tournament will monitor the pace of play of the groups ahead to see how they affect our pace of play. There was a suggestion to reinvestigate the possibility of instituting 10 minute tee times with the pro shop during our tournaments. Nobody’s holding their breath on this one.

 

Old Business: None.

 

New Business: Steve P. brought up the possibility that Stu may not want to continue as President, given the number of absences. He will inquire.

It was also brought up that we perhaps should revisit our electoral process, given the amount of effort having been devoted to the last 2 elections. There was further discussion on both the number of Board members and Tournament Directors. The discussion was tabled for future meetings.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:55

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
