Call To Order

Meeting was called to order at 2:55 PM
Board members present: Jay Gaskin, Dave Bogniard, Larry Clee and Curt Irish
Guests present:  Greg Martens, Bob Stewart, Bill Robinson, Dave Postlewaite

Old Business
The minutes from the October meeting were approved as written.
Greg Martens provided the board with an update on the Christmas Party.  As of this date approximately 90 people have signed up.  Our guarantee was 85.
Treasurer’s Report
Dave Bogniard provided the board with copies of documents and a report on the current status of the Golden Boy finances.  Dave also noted that we now have 120 golf members including 17 new members this year through the month of October.  His report and the documents were accepted as presented.
Golf Chairman’s Report
Jay invited Bill Robinson, PC General Manager, to the meeting to discuss some issues regarding golf course operations that have been identified by the GBs.  Jay explained that the GBs are interested in working with the management, but are not certain who is responsible for what when it comes to basic operations such as trash removal, getting more rakes in the bunkers, clean up after outings and parties, etc.  Following a wide ranging discussion the following items were identified as priorities.

1. The restrooms between holes 4 and 5 on Linkside are scheduled for replacement over the winter.
2. The areas around the pavilion and parking lots will be better maintained.
3. Downed trees and timber along several of the holes will be removed during the winter months.
4. The areas around the golf holes, but not directly in play, are going to be left in their natural state.
5. Bill will attempt to get more rakes for the bunkers.

   Dine-A-Round Chairman’s Report. No report

New Business
Dave Postlewaite reported that the reimplementation of the system for posting scores before turning in scorecards to the captains has been going well since it was enacted on November 3rd.

Jay reviewed the election results and noted that Eric Kuhn and Mike Miner were elected to the board beginning January 2015.  Both have been notified, as have Terry Bailey and Jim Ghrist.  A total of 64 GBs voted in this year’s election.

 There were no nominations for the Herm George award this year.

 A Golden Boy requested to begin playing from the white tees.  No action was taken on the issue at this time.

There have been some complaints regarding player integrity forwarded to the board.  These complaints include cheating, not following USGA rules when picking up on a hole, and posting inaccurate scores.  It was the opinion of the board that any cheating or inaccurate scoring when picking up needs to be addressed at the time of the incident by other members of the group.  Posting of inaccurate scores will be monitored through periodic audits of GB postings.  The Golf Chairman will publish a reminder of the USGA rules governing picking up.

Jay noted that he has placed a new sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for captains for 2015.  In an attempt to encourage new members to sign up he has highlighted the 4^th spot each month in yellow for new member sign ups.  This will allow a new member to work with 3 experienced GBs and learn the procedures and responsibilities of being a captain.

Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 3:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Curt Irish, Secretary

Call To Order
Meeting was called to order at 3:10 PM
Board members present: Jay Gaskin, Bill Ross, Dave Bogniard, Mike Toskey and Curt Irish
Guests present:  Jim Pearson
Treasurer’s Report
Dave provided the board with copies of documents and a report on the current status of the Golden Boy finances.  His report and the documents were accepted as presented.
Golf Chairman’s Report
Jay reported to the board that he has identified a number of lessons learned this year and will be incorporating those into the President’s Book for use next year.
Dine-A-Round Chairman’s Report
The next Dine-A-Round is scheduled for October 28^th.  This will be the final Dine-A-Round for 2014.  Mike also noted that this year’s picnic was attended by 57 people and that he has identified some cost saving measures for next year.
New Business
Jim Pearson provided a summary report to the board on the results of the 2014 Ryder Cup  Tournament as prepared by Conde Sargent.  It was acknowledged by the board that Conde shouldered the vast majority of the work in preparing the 2014 tournament.  This will be changed next year by having captains selected early next year and charging them with the responsibility for planning the tournament budget, the pre-tournament meal, after round refreshments, and prizes.  Those volunteering as captains will attend an early season board meeting and be provided guidelines for planning the 2015 President’s Cup Tournament.  The summary report for the 2014 tournament is attached.

The Christmas Party is scheduled for Tuesday December 9^th.  The cost will be $37 for Golden Boys and spouses and $44 for guests.

The board discussed a number of concerns related to the appearance of the grounds, parking lot and pavilion areas.  There seems to be no organizational structure that identifies who is responsible for maintaining specific areas of Pebble Creek.  As a result the board will invite the new general manager, Bill Robinson, to a special meeting with the board to discuss these issues and delineate the lines of responsibility so that future issues and concerns can be appropriately addressed.

A slate of candidates for the 2 openings on the board in 2015 has been developed and election ballots will be forthcoming.

The board was asked to consider starting a member/member tournament.  Following discussion the idea was voted down based on the feeling that we currently have enough tournaments on our agenda.

The board entertained a request that winter rules include allowing a player to lift their ball in a sand trap, rake the area, and replace the ball.  This proposal was voted down.  A ball hit into a sand trap is to be played “as it lies” unless it comes to rest in a footprint or other unplayable area.  This must be agreed to by all members in the group.

A suggestion was made to collect money for interclubs at the tournament site.  This was voted down.

A discussion of changing or dropping the 10-round rule for interclubs was undertaken and after some good comments from various perspectives it was decided to table the topic until a future date.

The board was asked to issue some guidelines for posting items on the bulletin board.  The board agreed that only Golden Boy information (i.e. handicap lists, announcements, sign-up sheets, etc) should be posted on the bulletin board.  In lieu of issuing specific guidelines the board felt that the members of the board could take responsibility for monitoring and removing outdated information and non-Golden Boy information from the board.

New member applications will be posted on the bulletin board beginning next week.

Next Board Meeting – Wednesday, December 3^rd following golf

Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Curt Irish, Secretary

Call To Order
Meeting was called to order at 2:25 PM. Board members present: Jay Gaskin, Larry Clee, Bill Ross, Dave Bogniard, and Curt Irish. Guests present:  Chuck Hite and Conde Sargent

Treasurer’s Report
Dave provided the board with copies of documents and a report on the current status of the Golden Boy finances.  His report and the documents were accepted as presented.

Golf Chairman’s Report
Bill and Jay met previously with Merv Moeller and reviewed Merv’s after action report on the Match Play Tournament.  Everyone agreed that the tournament format of regularly scheduled days and tee times for play worked very well.  Next year’s event will be chaired by Curt Irish and the same format will be used.  Dates will be established following the publication of the Carolina Interclub schedule for 2015.

Dine Around Chairman’s Report
In Mike’s absence, Jay reported that the next Dine Around is scheduled for August.

New Business
Chuck and Conde were asked to attend the meeting to provide assistance in resolving the issue of how to properly handicap red and black tee play in order to make it as fair as possible.  Bill and Chuck each reviewed the USGA method for handicapping “mixed-tee” events which are what the Golden Boys implement during regular weekly play and tournament play.  The USGA rule covering “mixed-tee” play requires that strokes be either subtracted from the forward tee (red) player’s handicap or added to the back tee (black) player’s handicap. The USGA method for handicapping “mixed-tee” events states that the tee where the majority of players are playing from determines which handicaps  are changed.  Since the majority of the Golden Boys play from the black tees, it will be the red tee handicaps that are changed.  The difference in course rating between the tees is used to determine the number of strokes to be subtracted.  In the case of our two courses that works out to be 3 strokes on Creekside and 2 strokes on Linkside.

Creekside ratings:
Black tees       66.3
Red tees          62.9
Difference       3.4 strokes (rounded to nearest whole=3)

Linkside ratings:
Black tees       68.0
Red tees          66.2
Difference       1.8 stokes (rounded to nearest whole=2)

Conde will make those changes and the corrected red tee handicaps will be posted on the web site and bulletin board.  This change will become effective July 1^st.

Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m.

Members who have not played 10 times in the current year may sign up as alternates on interclub tournament player rosters posted on Golden Boys bulletin board. Golden Boys who play regularly and have been sidelined with an injury or illness, or reside outside the area during most or all the first three months of the year, will be granted a waiver to the 10-game requirement. If an interclub event does not exceed quota, all Golden Boys are eligible to sign up for these tournaments.This rule also applies to all special tournaments including Championship, Match Play, President’s Cup and Ryder Cup.  Merv Moeller with the help of Conde Sargent, will track player participation.
►Beginning in December, the second Wednesday of each month will be flight event with the goal of grouping players with similar handicaps in the same flight.  Captains will have the option to schedule either two man or four man competitions.
►Winter rules are in effect meaning a ball at rest in the fairway of the hole being played may be moved one club length but not nearer to the hole.  Once the condition of the course improves, the ball will be played as it lies in the fairways based on the Golf Chairman’s discretion.
