o       Interclub Tournament Entry Procedures:  Based on the October Board meeting determination that procedures for interclub selection be modified, Ron Teevan presented proposed details for Mountain and Carolina Interclub selection.   After discussion, it was decided that the specifics be deferred for 2011 Board determination and that the new rules be promulgated in early 2011,  explained at the 2011 Annual Meeting and detailed in the 2011 Directory.

o       Possible Additional Home and Home Event:  Jim Cadieu was approached by a senior member of the Spartanburg Country Club with proposal that we consider initiation of a home and home event with them similar to the one we have with Cummings Cove.   The Board agreed that Jim and Ron Teevan follow up on this proposal and set up such an arrangement if it is feasible.

Treasurer’s Report – Financial reports from August and September were reviewed and approved by all board members.  A motion was made and seconded to accept the reports as submitted.

   Bob Arnold noted that we had not charged for hole-in-one insurance the past two years (except for new members).  However, the pay outs for the hole-in-one insurance in 2010 have depleted the fund to the point that we will need to once again require any Golden Boys wanting insurance in 2011 to purchase it.

   Bob delineated the costs of this years picnic.  It was noted that nobody had signed on to be chairman of the picnic in 2011.  Jim Cadieu said he would take on the chairmanship for 2011.

Golf Chairman’s Report – Ron Teevan reported that the Fox Run Interclub was cancelled due to the weather and will not be rescheduled.  Ron also reported that he had not received the formal invitation from Greenville C.C. For their interclub, but has gone ahead and will soon post the list of players for the tournament assuming the invitation from Greenville is forthcoming.

Social Chairman’s Report – Dave Postelwaite reported that there were no social activities planned for the upcoming month.

Dine A Round Chairman’s Report – Curt Irish noted that the last dine a round for the year is scheduled for October 26^th at the Pebble Creek Grille.  Trish will have the menu information available on the 11^th and Curt will get the information out to the membership.

Old Business – Replacement and/or refinishing the GB bulletin board was discussed and the board agreed to look into having the current board refinished.  Dave Postlewaite will take the lead on this project.

New Business – Pace of play for the GBs was discussed and it was felt that we should try going out in three man teams, instead of foursomes, to see if this would speed up play.  The three person  format will be piloted beginning on November 1^st.  Also, it was noted that we will change the start time to 10:00 a.m. On November 1^st.

   It was discussed and decided that we should change the rules governing the use of the black tees  and allow all GBs the opportunity to play from them.  It will be required, however, that whatever tees a player chooses for a given round, he must play them for the entire round.  Jim will send out an e-mail confirming this change.

   Dave Postlewaite provided an update on the organization efforts for the new Ryder Cup Tournament to be played later on October 20 and 22.  He said turn out has been good and that plans call for the selection of two captains who will select teams at the dinner to be held on the 19^th.  Other ideas were discussed and Dave will work with Conde Sargent and Don Stewart to finalize the tournament formats, prizes, trophy, etc.

   Dave also brought up the idea of scheduling the GB Championship tournament the week following the Pebble Creek Club Championship.  This would take advantage of the course conditions prepared for the PCC Championship including GUR, OB, and Drop Zone markings.  This will be looked into further by Dave and Ron.

   Ron and Dave proposed changes to the interclub sign up procedure.  The changes were discussed extensively by the board.  A motion was made and seconded to make the following changes to the interclub procedure effective January 2011.

• Interclub tournaments will be posted separately ,approximately 30 days prior to the event.  This will be done via e-mail, web site, and bulletin board.
• Those GB interested in playing in the event must sign up and get their payment into the Golf Chairman within 14 days of the posting.
• If more GBs sign up than there are openings, names will be drawn from those who signed up and those picked will be eligible for the tournament.  Those not drawn will be given first opportunity for the next interclub tournament.  This procedure will be done separately for the Mountain interclubs and the Carolina interclubs.  Example:  If a GB wanted to play Cliffs Valley and was not selected in the lottery drawing he would then have preference for the next Mountain interclub (e.g. Hendersonville C.C.).
• Preferences will also be given to those GBs participating in home interclub matches.

  Ron and Dave will formalize these changes, publish them, and present them at the GB Annual meeting in March 2011.

  Ron explained that he and Tom Zix will be going to a meeting with representatives from all of the interclubs where there may be discussion of changing the Carolina Interclub format from two person teams to four person teams.  Ron asked for the board’s recommendation.  A motion was made and seconded to support this change.

• Golf Chairman’s Report:  Ron Teevan reported that Furman interclub (31 August) list will be posted today.  He will post the Hendersonville Mountaininterclub (27 August) list as soon as he gets the green light from his Hendersonville contact.  Ron raised a possible change to handling of interclub assignments for 2011 and after much discussion, it was decided to table the proposal for decision at a future board meeting after Ron and Dave Postlewaite, next year’s golf chairman, prepare a written proposal of the desired changes for review by the board.

• Old Business:  None
• New Business:  Bob Arnold passed on a recommendation from a Golden Boy that we consider reimbursing the Club House Grille for the cost of paper cups used to provide Golden Boys ice water before our rounds.  A motion was made and seconded that we not buy cups but instead provide the Clubhouse Grille with a $50 check in appreciation of the support they provide to the Golden Boys.
• Adjournment:  There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:05 PM.

• Call to Order:  President Cadieu called the meeting to order at 1:58 PM.  All Board members were present except Ron Teevan who had contractors working at his home.
• Golden Boys Championship:  Rocky Robinson and Conde Sargent were invited to discuss the upcoming championship tournament scheduled for 19 and 21 July.  The main issue was the tees to be used.  Current Golden Boys rules state that white tees will be used for all tournament play.   Since initiation of the black tee option, many Golden Boys have petitioned to use them for the championship.   After much discussion, the Board voted to use “black tournament” tees and the committee will place them nearer black than white tee locations.  Black tee handicaps will be used by all participants.

• Social Chairman’s Report:  Dave Postlewaite reported that he is still considering a Greenville Drive night but will wait until it is a bit cooler.
• Dine A-Round Chairman’s Report:  Curt Irish reported that he had negotiated with High Cotton for the August dine around.  One of the menu choices will be prime rib and house wine will be $5.  Golden Boys should take care not to use unassigned bar service as wine will be more expensive.
• Old Business:
  • The Member-Guest Chairman reported that the committee had agreed to make some significant changes for next year with a view toward greater participation.  The standard team entry fee will be reduced from $400 to $350 and sale of one sign will further reduce it to $300.   A further entry fee credit of $50 will be given for every multiple of five signs sold.  Competition days will be Monday and Tuesday rather than Tuesday and Wednesday.  Sign up list will be posted this year as soon as tournament dates are confirmed.  Guests without a USGA handicap must turn in at least three scores by 1 May 2011 to qualify to play.   Wendell Alderman and Tom Wirth will join the committee replacing Merv Moeller and Conde Sargent who will assist but not serve as official members.
  • Jim Cadieu will research purchase of a new bulletin board with view to have it in place in the fall.
• New Business:
  • Dave Postlewaite recommended that we use some of the treasury’s surplus funds to purchase a US flag for the large flagpole near the driving range.  A motion was made, seconded and approved to authorize no more than $100 to purchase a 6 X 10 foot flag and present it to the club.
  • Gene Witherspoon suggested that the Board consider changing the selection criteria for the Herm George Service Award from extraordinary service in the calendar year of award to overall long term service so that we can reach back and honor long time Golden Boys who have provided outstanding support in years past but may not be as active now.  A motion was made, seconded and approved to change the selection criteria as suggested.
• Adjournment:  There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:40 PM.
