Annual Golden Boys group Breakfast was held prior to beginning of meeting. Approximately 55 Golden Boys were in attendance.
President Dan Coviello opened the meeting by introducing four new members to the Pebble Creek Organization:
David Fels Head Club Pro
Phil McPherson Assistant Pro
Karie Harrrison Food & Beverage Manager
Trent Saverance Course Maintenance Manager
The March 2006 meeting minutes were read. Motion to accept was made by Len Lipowicz and seconded by Don Stewart. Motion passed.
President Dan Coviello presented a list of all new members who had joined the Golden Boys organization since our last annual meeting of March 2006. Dan then recognized five individuals of the organization who have been members for 20 years. Dick Davis, Chuck Hite, John Mickler, Sam Masters and Len Toole.
Treasurer Gene Witherspoon gave the treasures report. Motion to accept was made by Wendell Alderman and seconded by George Pike. Motion passed.
Allan Auvil reported on the monthly Dine arounds. The attendance has been very good with the outings ranging from 44 to 74 attendees. Allan has arranged for some new venues this year. Februarys Dine Around at Justins Restaurant was a sellout. Our Restaurant for March will be at Stax Peppermill and in April at Peter Davids. Allan reported that the new e-mail system for confirming attendance has worked well and thanked the membership for their participation.
Les Burns reported on the Social activities. The annual picnic will be held September 23rd and the Christmas party date for December 2007 is being finalized.
Golf Chairman, Tom Zix, gave an update on all the upcoming interclub outings. He passed out individual selections for each outing. He reminded the members that we had adopted a “give me putt” policy of 22 ½ inches and that all members should abide by it. Tom reminded everyone that we would move our daily Tee times from 10:00 AM to 9:00 AM starting the first of April 2007. Tom thanked Conde Sargent for all his help and support on all the Golf activities. Tom discussed a plan to work with Head Club Pro and the Course Maintenance Manager to help improve the fairways and report potential safety problems on the course. The plan is to have the Golden Boys take one or two fairways each week and fill all the divots with the sand on our carts. Tom thanked Jim Pearson for coming up with this idea. Tom then introduced Larry Clee who will head up the annual GB Member/Guest tournament. Larry reported that all is going well and he is working with his committee of Jim Cadieu, Dick Davis, Merv Moeller, Del Reedy and Conde Sargent to make this year’s tournament one of the best. The tournament will be held on June 4th, 5th and 6th. The cost for entry will be $400.00 per team. Any team that sells one or more sponsor signs for $100 each will have a reduced entry fee of $350.00.
New Business:
Bill Allen asked if anyone knew if Pebble Creek had followed thru with plans to establish a club committee to discuss all aspects of the club. No one from the GB is aware of any such organization. Hopefully, now that Pebble Creek Club has a new organizational team in place, some type of club committee will be established and the GB group will have representation.
Chuck Hite made a motion that the 2007 GB annual dues remain at $25.00 per person. Don Stewart seconded and the motion carried.
Bill Carithers made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Allan Auvil. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:454 AM.
