Present: Steve Pasadis, Steve Orlick, John Christenson, Gary Davis, Wayne Thompson, Mike Duggan, Jim Gordon, Bob Andrews & Stu Diamond

 

Absent: Ralph Thomas, George Elbert & Vic Shellenberg

 

Call to Order: 7:05 AM by Stu

 

Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: The Club has $3,398.53 in the CD and $34,320.79 in the checking account for a total of $37,719.32.

 

Publicity: Steve P. posted the tee times for the upcoming tournament. He noted that he’s still working out the bugs. He also posted a summary of our financials.

 

NCGA: The stickers and sheets came out for what is the probable last time. It appears that the members are getting notified in a hit-and-miss fashion from the NCGA with e-mails regarding their handicaps. Steve O will research the procedure so that all members can benefit.

 

Membership: We have around 685, still.

 

Tournaments: The next tournament will be the NCGA Net Amateur, hosted by Steve O and Bob. It will be a 7:30 start from the white tees. There are 160 members playing, still to a maximum 18 handicap. Steve P will sort out 3 flights, balanced by handicap and the lowest 2 players per flight will move on to the next hurdle. Given the weather, there will probably be preferred lies.

 

Old Business: Steve O reported that he had revisited the BVGC bag tag issue and that we could provide the membership with the tags for a paltry $5 per, which, Steve noted, could be folded into the dues. They would be 2-color with an embossed name. There was some, mostly favorable, discussion, along with other suggestions of where to spend our largesse before the issue was tabled for future discussion.

 

New Business: The Tournament of Champions at Bodega for $75/head was given its’ annual vetting. It, too, was tabled.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:50

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
