Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: We have $3,398.53 in the CD and $35,638.23 in the checking account for a total of $39,036.76. George reported that the budget seems to be in line with last year’s. We had about a $10K surplus this past year. He and Ralph will sit down before the next month’s meeting to formalize the budget for the upcoming year.

 

Publicity: There was no report but it was decided to encourage Steve to continue in this capacity.

 

NCGA: Steve O’s resignation from the Board was accepted and Bob was appointed to fill the now vacant NCGA/Handicap Chairman’s position. Bob graciously accepted.

 

Membership: We now have 585 members and Ralph noted the early tee times for the tournaments are being filled.

 

Tournaments: The Skins Game will take place next Saturday. Dave and Jim will be working.

Gary reported that he has received the various deadlines for the NCGA tournaments, so he doesn’t foresee any problems like we had last year with late entries. The Board reiterated our policy of sending in the entries by USPS Express Mail, so that we can track and verify them.

There was further discussion regarding the upcoming changes to the payout structure, in particular the proposed addition of payouts to the Club Championship. After some figures were bandied about, it was decided to table the discussion until George and Ralph reported back on the upcoming budget.

 

Old Business: None

 

New Business: Tony Conrardy and Jeff Goering were present at the meeting and both volunteered to join the Board. This was voted upon and approved unanimously. The Board welcomes both!

Tony broached the idea of an organized and ongoing Skin’s Game, to be held Saturday mornings. This started a discussion of the availability of tee times and how this might be presented to the Pro Shop in a favorable light. Tony will pursue this proposal further.

The end of the meeting was devoted to the Tournament Directors dividing up the coming year’s responsibilities.

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:08

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
