Call to Order: 7:00 AM
by Steve
Minutes: Were read and approved.
Treasurer’s Report: No report, although it was
noted by Steve that all the software pertaining to the Treasurer’s position
will be transferred to Dave before the end of the year.
Publicity: Jeff volunteered to take
the mailing materials to the printer.
Since
the mailing will be put out online next year, Steve proposed 2 different
approaches to the traditional get together. One way would be to have all Board
members, past and present, attend a party. This would come from the Club’s
budget. The second options would be to have a general meeting/awards dinner for
the membership as a whole. This would be paid for by the attendees. The
proposals will be taken up at a later date, after review.
NCGA: No report.
Membership: No
report, although Bob noted that we are beginning to need information based on
our membership rolls so that we can prepare the upcoming budget.
Tournaments: The Ham Shoot next week
will tee off from
Gary asked that the Board
members sign up along with the prepays for the tournaments for next year with
their respective groups so that he can have a better handle on who’s playing
when. The Board need not pay in advance, just commit to the tournament.
There was a discussion with
Jim Knego regarding the change in the Club Championship for next year from a 3
or 4 day tournament to a 2 day one as approved by the Board previously. Jim
will juggle other tournaments to accommodate this change.
The ongoing problem of the
pro shop injecting players into our tournaments at the last minute was brought
to the table. Representatives of the Board will meet with Bob and Derrick over
this issue.
Old Business: Jeff
researched the Club Championship trophy situation. He proposed 2 ways to go
forward: update the existing trophy or replace it with a presentation board
with plaques honoring the winners. After discussion, it was decided to maintain
the existing one.
There was also much discussion on trying to
alleviate the load on the present Tournament Directors, who presently have to
oversee 5 tournaments each. Various proposals were aired, from the Officers
taking over some of the responsibilities, to adding more directors, to having
single directors work the tournaments. Nothing having been resolved, there will
be further discussions on this.
New Business: Steve made the suggestion
that the Board start to consider a mentoring program for the members in order
to prepare for possible transitions of some of the positions on the Board that
carry more responsibility, should the need arise. This was treated as a good
idea and one that we should pursue in the future.

John Christenson, Secretary
