Present: Steve Pasadis, John Christenson, Gary Davis, Ralph Thomas, Mike Duggan, Jeff Goering, Dave Marquez, Wayne Thompson, Bob Andrews & Tony Conrardy

Absent: Vic Shellenberg, Jim Gordon & George Elbert

Call to Order: 7:02 AM by Steve

Minutes: Were read and approved.

Treasurer’s Report: We have $3,449.39 in the CD and $38,901.25 in the checking account for a total of $42,350.64.

Publicity: Steve reported that the past tournaments have been posted and the advance notice for the 4-Club format for the Directors’ Cup has been posted, as well.

NCGA: Nothing new to report.

Membership: We now have 720 +/- members.

Tournaments: The next tournament is the NCGA 2 Man Best Ball. The field will go out from 7:30 until 12:52. Wayne and Mike are working. There are 46 seniors signed up for their part of it with 14-16 singles. They will, as before, be assigned teams through a blind draw. We will continue to take 90% of the individual’s index, find the course handicap on the modified slope sheet and assign flights accordingly. As always, the maximum handicap will be 18 with a 9 stroke maximum between players, pegged to the low handicap. White tees will be used.

Bob announced that Galvin Park is unavailable for the August Shotgun tournament. Bob Borowitz has offered to provide sufficient space around the temporary pro shop so that we can hold the festivities there. Jeff Bodwin has been contacted regarding the catering at $12.50/plate. There will be $1,000.00 worth of door prizes like last year.

Steve submitted a report from Vic, who reviewed the scoring from the last tournament. Essentially, we will have to monitor the members closely to make sure they post at the course before they leave.

Old Business: A spirited discussion was held over the old bugaboo of pace of play, given the various circumstances (lost balls, the “caterpillar effect”, golfers with carts vs. golfers on foot, etc.) which occurred during the last tournament. It was reinforced that the Board will continue to advocate the posted guidelines and that they will make every effort to set the appropriate conduct that reflects those guidelines. All agreed.

New Business: None

Meeting adjourned at 8:00

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
