Present: Vic Shellenberg, David Marquez, John Christenson, Gary Davis, Mike Duggan, Jeff Goering, Bob Andrews, Jim Gordon, Wayne Thompson & Tony Conrardy

 

Absent: Steve Pasadis & Ralph Thomas

 

Call to Order: 7:05 AM by Vic, followed by a sales presentation by Frank Simpson, representing an organization named “International Pairs”, a new tournament format that looks to expanding its’ representation by contacting various golf organizations and piggy-backing onto established tournaments. Frank distributed several brochures.

 

Minutes: Were read and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: In his inaugural report, Dave brought up several issues which he wanted to place before the Board:

  • At present, since the bank isn’t requiring 2 signatures on checks, Dave wanted the Board to realize the exposure it has in regard to this. It was duly noted and the procedure was left unchanged.
  • The Club’s fiscal and actual years don’t correspond, so it is difficult to pin down exactly where the finances are at any given time. In order to help the Boar further understand the situation, he will give accounts payable/receivable reports along with the account balances in the future. The budget for the current year is in progress.
  • Dave proposed a limit on the amount of the bar tab generated by the working Directors during tournaments. This was discussed and the Board authorized unanimously the amount of $25/each.
  • We currently have $3,502.30 in the CD and $36,416.97 in the checking account, totaling $39,919.27.

 

Bob reported that Jim Knego would like the Club to cover his expenses this year for the Pro-Am tournament he plays in with the Club Champion. The Board passed this motion unanimously.

 

Publicity: No report

 

NCGA: Bob reported no correspondence has been received lately from the NCGA. He also expressed his desire to resign both from his post as NCGA Chairman and also from the Board. We thanked him for his service.

 

Membership: No report.

 

Tournaments: The 4 Man Scramble next week has 24 foursomes and will be played between 8:00 and 11:30.

Gary will publish a notice of all tournament’s tee time’s schedules with the provision that no variances will be allowed.

 

Old Business: Jeff brought up the idea of having a first day match play and a second day stroke play for the Club Championship. This was discussed, along with other formats and then tabled for future meetings.

 

New Business: Ed Dominquez, who had been observing the meeting, volunteered to join the Board. He was voted in by acclamation.

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:35

 

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
