♦ The Board has approved Super Senior Tees for those members who are 80 years of age or older.  This is an option and not a mandate, and approved with the hope that it will add to the enjoyment of the game for all players as our membership continues to age.  USGA sent the updated ratings and slope information which has been added to the computer for reporting golf scores at the completion of the round.
♦ Jay Gaskin offered to put together a document to assist captains in the completion of their duties which the board will review at next month’s meeting.
♦ In an attempt to speed up play on Mondays and Fridays, if three walkers pick cards for the same team, the last player will be asked to pick another card.  Conde will make the necessary adjustments on Wednesdays if this problem arises.
