Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: George reported that we have $3,502.30 in the CD and $42,239.29 in the checking account for a total of $45,741.59. We have paid the NCGA dues.

We have some gift certificates left over from the Turkey and Ham Shoots. It was decided to keep them until next year.

 

Publicity: A new application form will be made available on the website. Also, dates for some of the tournaments coming up will be corrected.

Bruce Meadows mentioned the addition of the scratch flights next year in his column.

 

NCGA: No report given.

 

Membership: We have 558 members signed up. There was a review of our policy regarding returning members and the establishment of their new handicaps.

 

Tournaments: The 4 Man Scramble is scheduled for the next week. Dave & Wayne will be working. There are 98 players signed up. The same rules will apply: 3 drives for each player and the spreadsheet will be set up to determine the group handicaps-all Wayne & Dave need do is enter the total group handicap.

Gary has sent in the information on the Zone to the NCGA. He also noted that the NCGA will be requiring payment by credit card in the future, prompting some less than complimentary comments from the Treasurer.

There was a motion that the temporary par 3 on the 3rd hole be included in the closest to the pin, giving us the option of using 5 holes for the contest. After some discussion, the motion failed.

Steve submitted to the Board his first take on the proposed 2007 tournament budget, based upon 2006 actual payouts. He included scratch flights into the mix. After some discussion, the issue was tabled and sent to the budget subcommittee. The subcommittee will convene and meet sometime between 2/12 and 2/20 to hash out the details and present the results to the Board as a whole during next month’s meeting.

 

 

Old Business: None

 

New Business: None

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:25

 

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
