Old Business:
Remaining Match Play matches should be completed as soon as possible.  These matches should not be played during regular MWF play but can be scheduled at the end of regular play if so desired.  Upon completion of the Match Play Tournament this year, the board will discuss (with input from the tournament director) ways to shorten the length of time it takes to complete this event.
New Business:
♦ Lyn Young and Larry Clee presented information on golf carts changes over the coming months.  The current cart lease will end in April and new carts purchased by the club at that time.
♦ A new golf cart return policy will be put into place immediately as follows:  AT COMPLETION OF PLAY, ALL GOLFERS WILL NEED TO RETURN THEIR GOLF CART TO THE BAG DROP AREA.  Those with handicap flags attached to their cart may leave their carts near the clubhouse upon completion of play.  PC staff will return them to the bag drop area.  It is hoped that this change will eliminate the problem of cart theft that the club has been experiencing.
♦ Lyn Young and Larry Clee agreed to lower the wire on Creekside #15 on days the Golden Boys play.  Larry will take responsibility for putting the wire back in place upon completion of our play.
♦ The Board has approved Super Senior Tees for those members who are 80 years of age or older.  This is an option and not a mandate, and approved with the hope that it will add to the enjoyment of the game for all players as our membership continues to age.  USGA sent the updated ratings and slope information which has been added to the computer for reporting golf scores at the completion of the round.
♦ Jay Gaskin offered to put together a document to assist captains in the completion of their duties which the board will review at next month’s meeting.
♦ In an attempt to speed up play on Mondays and Fridays, if three walkers pick cards for the same team, the last player will be asked to pick another card.  Conde will make the necessary adjustments on Wednesdays if this problem arises.
♦So that the Match Play Tournament can be completed prior to the start of the Ryder Cup Tournament, the dates for the Ryder Cup have been changed to October 3^rd and 5^th.
Adjournment:
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
