Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: The Club has $3,398.53 in the CD and $28,382.76 in the checking account for a total of $31,781.29. George stated that we seem to be doing fairly well at this stage of the year, although we will be have a large expenditure in August for the barbeque.

 

Publicity: Steve P., being absent, offered no report.

 

NCGA: This is the first month without stickers-members will have to look up handicaps on the computer. We also need to send someone to the annual NCGA meeting. The most convenient will be held at Peacock Gap on 07/16. Topics include individual and Club responsibilities, penalties and the like. There were no takers.

 

Membership: We seem to be leveling off around 685 this year.

 

Tournaments: Gary reported the good news that we had 174 golfers in the last tournament. Unfortunately, it was held after the cut off date for this year’s regional, unbeknownst to us. It was decided officially to send the qualifiers from this last tournament to next year’s regional. The Senior qualifiers can go this year.

The Directors’ Cup is the next tournament up on the 25^th. Stu and Jim will be working the Stableford format.

 

Old Business: The topic of donations arose again. It was decided to table the discussion until the new clubhouse was built, so that we can get a better idea of what would be appropriate.

 

New Business: It was decided to move the July meeting to the 9^th, avoiding the holiday.

There was a lost scorecard from the 2 Man Scramble. It was decided to award both players prize money and Grand Prix points.

Dick Cantor had a concern regarding the condition of the course after our tournaments. It seems that some of our members are less than considerate when is come to repairing ball marks, divots, etc. It was agreed by the Board to discourage this type of behavior.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:40

 

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
