Old Business:
Golden Boys Cup:
2016 winners of the GB Cup are #1 Wilkins, #2 Bailey, #3 Toskey, #4 Gaskin and #5 Miner.  Jay Gaskin asked that his portion of the winnings be used for other purposes, so they will be placed back into the general fund.
A majority of the Golden Boys voted to continue the GB Cup, with modifications.  Bill Thompson will craft a note to the membership noting that the program had a positive effect on event participation and suggest modifications to improve the program.  These alternative modifications will be sent to the membership for their input and voted upon in January prior to the Annual Meeting Breakfast March 2017.  Bill Robinson, General Manager, will be asked again to provide list of Pebble Creek members who are 55 years of age and older so that the Golden Boys may solicit them for membership in the Golden Boys.
New Business
Bill Thompson will develop a comprehensive list of the Golden Boys Rules of Golf for 2017 for discussion and adoption by the membership.
The board voted to maintain dues for 2017 at the current level of $25 for golf members and $10 for social members.  It was also discussed that the hole-in-one insurance fund is sufficient for those who have already purchased the insurance for 2017. Other members who want to buy the insurance the cost will remain at $15. An email needs to be sent the membership advising them that dues and any changes or additions to the Golden Boys Directory must be sent to Treasurer Mike Miner by February 1, 2017 so that there is time to print the Golden Boys directory for distribution at the annual meeting in March.
The Board further discussed the rule of 10 to be eligible to participate in inter-club play.  It has been suggested that the exemption from the rule of 10 due to out-of-town winter residence and illness and medical reasons that may be granted by the board to be revised to include those Golden Boys who still work full time (defined as >35hrs/week).  The rule will be reworded and presented at the annual meeting for consideration by the Golden Boys membership.
Attendance at the Christmas party has declined this year with a total of 100 participants versus the ~120-130 in past years. The Board would like to receive input from those who did not attend the Christmas party this year to let us know why they did not attend (conflicting plans, cost increase, don’t like the venue, other reason.)

The meeting was adjourned at 3:30 PM
