Treasurer’s Report: The Club has $3,398.53 in the CD and $14,456.36 in the checking account for a total of $17,854.89. George noted that the CD matures in November. It was decided by the Board to rollit over once again. George also gave a breakdown of the expenses from the past year. They are (to the nearest tenth of a percent): tournament payouts, 51.8%, NCGA dues, 29.2%, misc., 13.5%, food, 2.7%, other dues, 1.6% and other other, 1.2% for a total of $65,649.85.

 

Publicity: Steve P would like the results of the Club Championship so that he can publish the Grand Prix results.

 

NCGA: Nothing new to report

 

Membership: No report available.

 

Tournaments: There will be 167 players in the next tournament, the NCGA 4 Man, 2 Better Ball. We will start with 4 foursomes going out the back and weaving them back into the field when they make the turn. Because of the popularity of the tournament, we may switch the date in the future with the Club Championship. There was also some discussion again about limiting the field to 144, even for the major events.

Steve P would like the committee that is studying the Club Championship to come up with 3 or so options so that they can be published on the website.

 

Old Business: Stu, Gary, Wayne, Bob and Steve O. are up for reelection. Vic volunteered to head up the election committee. We will also ask for volunteers for Board membership on the website.

 

New Business: Bob Borowitz visited to bring the Board up to speed on the progress of the new club house. There has been some adverse publicity in the media concerning the funding of the project and Bob wanted to discuss it with the Board. He noted that the City had insisted on several issues which have driven up the cost and that hasn’t been widely publicized. He also noted that the additional funding went from a grant to a loan in the blink of an eye. The Board had some discussion on the subject and decided to wait and see what Bruce Meadows would have to say about the situation in his column.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:55

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
