Treasurer’s Report
Treasurer Dave Bogniard presented the financial statement and proposed 2015 budget to the Board. After discussion, it was decided to increase the “Mountain and Interclub Home and Home” budget to $200.  This is the budget item used to provide food and beverages when Mountain and Interclub play occurs at Pebble Creek.

A motion to adopt the proposed budget as amended was made by Mike Toskey and seconded by Bill Ross.  The motion was passed.
Dues and the Ace Club fee were discussed by the Board, and it was decided that dues would remain the same; $25 for full members and $10 for social members.  The Ace Club is sufficiently funded so that those who were members of the Ace Club in 2014 will also be members in 2015. The cost for new Ace Club members will remain at $15.
A discussion about the deadline for 2015 dues followed.  It was decided that the deadline for 2015 dues will be February 1, 2015.  An email will be sent to the membership notifying them of the February 1, 2015 deadline and encouraging members to also update their contact information in the Golden Boys Directory so that an updated version can be distributed at the Annual Breakfast.  The email will instruct members to mail the dues check and updated contact information to Dave Bogniard.
Golf Chairman’s Report
Golf Chairman Bill Ross and Assistant Golf Chairman Mike Miner presented the Golden Boys 2015 Schedule of Events.  The Schedule of Events included the Dine-A-Rounds, Mountain and Interclub home-and-home matches, Golden Boy Match Play Tournament, Golden Boy Member Guest Tournament, Golden Boy Championship, and Golden Boy President’s Cup.  The 2015 Schedule of Events has been given to the Pebble Creek General Manager Bill Robinson so that he can include the Golden Boy events into the Pebble Creek master calendar. The 2015 Schedule will be posted on the Golden Boys bulletin board.
Bill Ross reported that there are two new interclub events in 2015, at Smithfields Tuesday, October 6, 2015 and at Willow Creek Tuesday, October 27, 2015.  Both are Carolina Interclub events.
Bill reported that the fee for participating in a 2015 Carolina Interclub event will be $45, the fee for Mountain Interclub events will be $50, and the fee for Cummings Cove will be $50 both home and away.  As in past years, an individual will have to play in the Pebble Creek Cummings Cove interclub to qualify to play at Cummings Cove.
Mike Miner presented a spreadsheet that will be used to help automate the selection process for the Mountain and Carolina Interclub events.  The spreadsheet will print out rosters and handicaps for each event, and will keep track of the ten play rule.  As in past years a member will have to have to have played a minimum of 10 rounds of golf in the current year of 2015 in order to qualify to be selected for Mountain or Carolina Interclub events. An email will be sent to members so they can select the Mountain and Carolina Interclub events that they would like to play.  Members should send their reply to Bill Ross.
Bill reported that Keowee Key is interested in having home-and-home events with the Golden Boys.  It was suggested that the event be treated like the Cummings Cove event and not be made part of the other interclub events.  An email will be sent to the membership to try and determine interest in such an event.
Dine-A-Round Chairman’s Report
Mike Toskey reported that the next Dine-A-Round will be held at Pebble Creek Clubhouse on Tuesday, January 27, 2015; 6:00 PM cocktails, 6:45 dinner.  Mike indicated that not all of the Dine-A-Round dates have been set because of potential conflicts with other holidays such as Easter and Memorial Day.  He said that he would have dates for the Dine-A-Rounds at the next Board meeting.
