Meeting 06/07/08

 

 

Present: Steve Pasadis, John Christenson, Elliott Funk, Mike Duggan, David Marquez, Ralph Thomas, Ed Dominquez & Tony Conrardy.

 

Absent: Vic Shellenberg, Gary Davis, Jeff Goering, Jim Gordon, & Wayne Thompson

 

Call to Order: 7:05 AM by Steve.

 

Minutes: There was a question regarding the motion from last month regarding incorrect scorecards and the potential of disqualification. Steve provided the relevant NCGA rule; only the player who signed an incorrect scorecard would be disqualified, not both players. After this discussion, the minutes were approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: We have $0.00 in the CD and $17,555.98 in the checking account. The funds which were in the CD went into a interest maximizer account, which now holds $23,627.21, for a total of $41,183.19.  No accounts receivable or payable reports were given.

Dave stated that the state taxes had been paid. Elliott offered to help Dave reconcile the accounts. Dave quickly accepted. Dave also reported an occasional discrepancy in the post tournament payout amounts. Noting the infrequent senior moment, Steve asked Dave to cross check.

 

Publicity: Steve has posted the scorecard rules on the website (see above).

Ralph voiced some concerns regarding our efforts to go paperless in the future, especially regarding our need to have a more formal ISP, such as Sonic, in order to not hamstring Steve.

The Board discussed the need to prep the members long before we switch and to that end, Ralph will see if we can get a list of all the members’ e-mail addresses from the NCGA. There was also a discussion on the need to set up a subcommittee to help ease the transition.

 

NCGA: No report

 

Membership: Ralph estimated that we have around 650 members.

 

Tournaments: No report.

 

Old Business: Tony brought up the question of the Club Championship format. Two options were discussed: Match play on the first day, with the remaining half of the field playing stroke the following day and a system based on the Grand Prix points as qualifier, a la the Fedex Cup. After some discussion, a motion was made to adopt the first option for this year. It carried unanimously.

 

New Business: None

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:05

 

Respectfully Submitted,

John Christenson, Secretary
