Dan Coviello covered the treasurer’s report as of August 31, 2005. The total net funds available as of this date were $3,390.50. Some questions were asked about specific items in the report, after which the report was accepted as shown.
The hole-in-one fund was brought up for discussion again. Some members are delinquent with their payments after the last round of aces. Larry Freehauf made a motion, with second from Al Valenti, that members who are past due must make an effort to pay up within the next two weeks or be dropped from the program for the balance of the year. Motion carried.
Larry Freehauf announced the match play tournament will be played in October with the first round on Wednesday October 5. Pairings to be announced on Monday the 3rd. The last day to sign up for the tournament will be Oct. 1. After the first round, the competitors will have one week to complete the second phase and continue each week until we have a champion. The championship tournament is under way with the final round to be played Wednesday September 14.
Al Valenti reported 74 people attended the recent dine-a-round at Caesars. The October event at the club has been changed and will be held at Saskatoon instead on October 25th.
The picnic is Sept. 14th–Al announced that he will ask the dine-a-round callers to contact people in an effort to increase the number coming to the picnic.
A slate of potential board members was drawn from a list of potential candidates. The ballots will be distributed within the next week for a four-week deadline for returning them.
Some discussion was held on the future of the club and of the Golden Boys as an organization. The discussion ran along the lines/option: the club remains semi-private, the clubs reverts to a private status, the club purchased by a developer, the Golden Boys relationship to the new owners, necessary changes to our bylaws and other items. George stated, correctly, that is better to be considering these points now that to be caught without any options.
Due to several board members being away the first two weeks in October, it was decided to not hold an October board meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 3:50 p.m.
Mack Whitley, Secretary.
