Committee Reports
Member/Guest
George Vanik reported that we currently have 12 teams signed up, which is at least six teams short of where we need to be. Richard Webb interjected that there had been some previous discussion regarding combining the member/guest and the member/member to get more teams. That generated a discussion of what could be done to increase the number of teams. George suggested that he would contact the Emeritus members to see if there might be some of them that would like to be guest of members. Armed with that information he would contact members to try to match up the two. With the dates fast approaching we need to act.

Social Chairman Report
Jim Stewardson reported that the first dine a round was successful and that everyone seemed to enjoy ordering off the menu. He was looking to schedule the next event in May.

Golf Committee
Dave Schutte began a discussion regarding the red tees
On Linkside #18. That was followed by a discussion of the pros and cons of the
Red tees being across the creek. It was decided that Dave would contact the proshop
About creating a super senior tee about 30 yards in front of the current black tees which could be marked by rocks painted red and black. It was agreed to leave all the other tee boxes alone for now.
Dave also brought up the possibility of having some membership booklets available at the proshop for anyone interested in joining the Golden Boys. After some discussion regarding privacy issues, it was decided to print some booklets without any personal information.

He then went on to review the budget for 2019/ 2020. He indicated that most items remained the same with the exception of the Christmas Party which is budgeted for $500 less. The carryover amount is expected to be similar to last year at 2400. He noted that the actual balance in the checking accounts where in excess of $6000 due to Ace club and Member/ guest balances.. 

Treasurer’s report was approved

Golf Chairman Report

Jay had several items to review with the group starting with changing the Creekside play day to Wednesday from Monday. He explained that a lot of tournaments are scheduled for Mondays thus switching to Wednesdays would provide more play days for Emeritus players and the club had no problem with the change. 

That was followed by a discussion of Emeritus members playing options including playing on Linkside as a guest. The same procedure would be available for Member/guest or Tournaments. He also noted we will use March to test some new ideas reguarding games.

Wednesdays will remain a computer generated day for selecting teams but the game will depend on if we need blinds or not and the number of blinds needed.

In the month of March if the course is cart path only we will play lift, clean and place. He also indicated that at least for now Cumming Cove was off the schedule. There was a short discussion of the new USGA rules.

Social Chairman Report

Jim Stewardson reported that the Christmas party was set and the cost will be $30/person this year, and that the first Tuesday in December has been reserved.  He then went on to talk about the concept of Dine Outs versus the Dine Arounds. Dine Outs would allow those in attendance to order of the menu rather than having a set menu. The number of people who could attend would be limited by what each venue could handle. The first one will be a Boca on March 26^that 5:30
