Absent: Ralph Thomas

 

Call to Order: 7:00 AM by Vic

 

Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: We have $3,502.30 in the CD and $28,656.72 in the checking account for total of $32,159.02.

In answer to a question as to where we stand this year as opposed to last, George produced 2 reports that show that we are roughly $10K ahead of last year’s outflows. However, some of this year’s debits can be attributed to last year’s expenses and, by and large, we will wind up at the end of the year in the same place as we were last year.

It was decided not to hold the raffle give-away at this year’s barbeque since we were having the event at the new facility.

George announced that this will be the last year that he will serve as Treasurer. He seemed unfazed that he will not be teeing off first in the tournaments next year. The entire Board recognized the efforts that he has given and thanked him heartily. Volunteers to fill the position are urged to come forward sooner rather than later.

 

Publicity: The web site is up to date, including the Grand Prix point tallies.

 

NCGA: Bob mentioned that he thought that, all things considered, we were getting a good deal by our affiliation with the NCGA.  

 

Membership: No Report.

 

Tournaments: There are 142 members playing in the Shotgun 4 Man Scramble the following week. Gary will prepare the cards for all foursomes. As usual, there will be free range balls available from 6:00 to 7:00 AM.

The new 10th hole tee box will be opened for the tournament, reverting the hole back to a par 5. Bob will notify the NCGA to remove the temporary handicap status from the postings.

 

Old Business: George reported that the reservation for Galvin Park had been cancelled.

 

New Business: There was a discussion about the site of our future meetings and our relationship to the staff at the new clubhouse in general going forward. We shall see.

Steve asked the Board for permission to buy a $200 flat panel monitor for the tournament computer. This was approved unanimously.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:40

 

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
