Special Meeting Minutes February 1, 2017

Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 3:05 PM by Eric Kuhn.
Purpose of the Meeting
The only item of business was a vote as demanded by a petition duly signed by 10 Golden Boys on whether the M/W/F payouts to the winners of that day’s play should be reduced by $1.00 from each of the winners to fund the Golden Boys Cup.
Discussion:
Some discussion was held.
Vote:
The vote was taken with the results being 14 in favor of continuing the collection of $1 from each winner and 22 against.
As had been previously stated, money which had already been collected for the 2017 Golden Boy Cup will be refunded to the winners.
Adjournment

Board Minutes January 13, 2017

Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 3:00 PM.
Board members present were Eric Kuhn, Mike Miner, Bill Thompson, Jim Ghrist, Richard Webb and Terry Bailey.
Approval of Minutes
Minutes from the January 4, 2017 Board meeting were approved.
Golden Boys Cup:
A discussion was had regarding whether to have a special meeting to have members vote on the status of the Golden Boys Cup.  To create such a meeting would take some time and would result in the meeting being quite close to the likely better attended GB annual meeting March 8.
A motion was made, seconded and passed to instruct the captains to refrain from collecting the Golden Boys Cup percentage out of the MWF bet money until such time as the already planned vote on continuing a version of the Golden Boys Cup is held at the annual meeting.  Putting the collection of the Cup money on hold should remove any urgency that was pushing thought of a special meeting.
Golf Chairman’s Report:
Bill Thompson will have an email sent to the membership confirming the details of “winter rules” which will be put into effect February 1.
Bill will publish a clear statement of the Golden Boys Local Rules of Golf by email in the near future.

Board Minutes January 4, 2017

Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 2:35 PM. Board members present were Eric Kuhn, Mike Miner, Bill Thompson, Jim Ghrist, Richard Webb and Terry Bailey.
Approval of Minutes
Minutes from the December 2, 2016 Board meeting were approved.
Treasure’s Report:
Mike Miner presented the treasures report, including the preliminary final financial statement for 2016.  The Golden Boys were within budget for 2016.
The proposed budget for 2017 was presented.  This budget reflects the reduced number of Golden Boys members and the continued reduction in participation in Golden Boys events across the board, including the Christmas Party.  Although reviews of the party were very favorable, attendance was down by 30% from recent past years.   The motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the proposed budget for 2017.
Mike proposed the Golden Boy dues remain at $25 for full members and $10 for social members and $15 for hole-in-one insurance for those not already enrolled.  A motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the proposal.
Membership dues announcement will be emailed by Conde Sargent by January 10th.  The dues must be paid for Golden Boy members by February 1, 2017.
Golden Boys Annual Directory
Conde Sargent has again graciously put together the 2017 “Golden Boys Annual Directory.” To have the 2017 Directory available for distribution at the Golden Boys annual breakfast it is critical that any additions or changes to the directory information for each member by February 1st, 2017 along with the dues checks.
Golden Boys Annual Meeting and Breakfast
The annual Golden Boys meeting and breakfast will be held in the Grill Room on March 8th.  Breakfast will be available starting at 7:30am and the meeting will begin at 8:30.

 
Social Chairman’s Report
Richard Webb will deliver a packet of information, personally if possible, to each new Golden Boys member.
Richard has crafted a preliminary Dine-Around schedule for 2017.  To increase attendance some new ideas are being tried along with new venues.  The first event will be held January 31st at 5pm in the Grill Room.  This will be a heavy hors d’oeuvres happy hour for $20, with cash bar.  Additional dine-arounds are planned for March, April and October with dates to be fixed and shared soon.
Golf Chairman’s Report:
Bill Thompson reported that the inter-club dates have been set for 2017 and will be sent to the Golden Boys membership along with the inter-club selection forms.  Bill will email the interclub selection form to the membership by January 20th.  The form must be returned to Bill promptly but no later than February 17th so that he has time to finalize the interclub participants by the Golden Boys annual breakfast meeting which is scheduled for March 8, 2017.  The 10-play rule will apply to determine those Golden Boys eligible to play in the interclub events.  10 plays must be achieved prior to the 1st club event of the year unless a waiver has been requested by the member to the board and granted.
As always we need volunteer captains for the 2016 Golden Boys Match Play event and the Golden Boys President’s Cup event.  If you are willing to help with these events, please contact Bill.
A calendar of 2016 events will be put together and distributed to the membership.
The “gimme” tape will be maintained on the flagsticks and members should use this routinely to determine if a putt should be given.
Bill will publish a clear statement of the Golden Boys Local Rules of Golf by email in the near future.
 
Old Business
Golden Boy Cup
–       The vote taken along with the election of board members for 2017 indicated a majority of Golden Boys voting wished the board to explore alternative to the Golden Boys Cup format toward the goal of increasing participation in all Golden Boys golf events.  An alternative proposal will be presented at the annual meeting for vote to either support the Golden Boys Cup or eliminate it entirely.  If the program is eliminated, all monies collected for this year prior to the annual meeting will be refunded to the winners during the MWF play.
The Golden Boys generously put together $380 for a Christmas thank you gift to the Grill Room staff which routinely serves us each day.  It was very much appreciated.
New Business
Tee box selection by Golden Boys was clarified.
–       Any Golden Boy may choose to play from the white tees with the appropriate handicap adjustment.
–       Golden Boys aged 75 or greater may choose to play from the red tees with the appropriate handicap adjustment.  Note that this is a reduction from the previous age requirement of 80 years and reflects the norm used in the inter-club events and other local organizations.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 PM.

Board members present were Eric Kuhn, Mike Miner, Terry Bailey, Bill Thompson, Jim Ghrist and Richard Webb.  Outgoing president Bill Ross expressed his thanks to the board and departed.
New Board Members and Positions:
Eric Kuhn – President
Mike Miner – Vice President and Treasurer
Bill Thompson – Golf Chairman

Terry Bailey – Secretary
Richard Webb – Social Chairman.
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.)
Adjournment

Annual Breakfast Meeting – March 2, 2016

The meeting was called order at 8:30 AM.

Board members present: Bill Ross (President), Dave Bogniard (Treasurer), Mike Miner (Golf Chairman), Bill Thompson (Assistant Golf Chairman), Terry Bailey (Dine-A-Round Chairman), and Eric Kuhn (Secretary).

Secretary’s Report:

Minutes from the March 3, 2015 meeting where approved.

Treasurer’s Report:

A Golden Boys of Pebble Creek 2016 Directory was distributed at the meeting.  A special thanks was given to Conde Sargent for assembling and printing the directory.

For 2016 there are 99 regular members and 10 social members.

The 2016 proposed budget was distributed to the membership for their review.  The membership approved the 2016 proposed budget.

 Dine-A-Round Report:

Terry Bailey reported that he had formed a committee to set the dine-a-round schedule and to review and suggest changes to the dine-a-round format.  Richard Webb and Jerry Fitzgerald are the committee members.

The annual Golden Boys Picnic is scheduled for September 15, 2016 at Paris Mountain State Park. Mike Toskey will continue to organize the picnic.

The annual Christmas Party is scheduled for December 6, 2016 and will again be held at the Hyatt Hotel downtown.  Terry Bailey is organizing the Christmas Party.

Golf Chairman’s Report:

Bill Ross announced that he had formed a Handicap/Rules Committee as allowed under the Section VII.4 of the Golden Boys By-Laws.  The committee consists of Jay Gaskins, John Sample, Ron Teevan, and Chuck Hite.  The purpose of the committee will be to review member handicaps to insure that members are posting their scores, and that the scores are accurate.  The Committee will also be charged with reviewing Golden Boys’ golf rules, local course rules, and to make sure that the rules are being followed during Golden Boys’ golf play.  Also, members can bring issues concerning Golden Boys golf play to the Committee.

Golf Chairman, Mike Miner, reported that the Mountain Interclub group has been disbanded.  He reported that a number of the Golden Boys wanted to try and initiate a home and home match with Cliffs Valley, but the Cliffs was not interested this year.

Mike handed out members interclub event choices.  He reiterated that the minimum ten round Golden Boys regular rounds rule would be enforced for playing in interclub events. Also, Mike explained the importance of providing payment for the interclub event by the “check due” date as posted on the event sheet on the Golden Boys bulletin board because he has to have the event money to the hosting course by a certain date.

Since there have been a number of issues raised concerning “putting out”, “gimmies” and what really constitutes “within the leather,” tape has been placed on all of the pins on both Linkside and Creekside.  The tape is 23 ½ inches from the bottom of the flag stick in accordance with Golden Boys rules.  If any part of the ball touches the taped when the flag stick is laid down with the bottom edge of the flag stick touching the edge of the cup, the ball must be putted.

Mike encouraged everyone to clearly mark their golf balls so that they can be easily identified during play.

The meeting was called to order at 2:48 PM.
Board members present were Mike Toskey, Dave Bogniard, Bill Ross, Mike Miner, and Eric Kuhn.
Approval of Minutes
Minutes from the October 8, 2015 Board meeting are approved.
Treasure’s Report:
There was no Treasure’s report.
Golf Chairman’s Report:
A question was raised by one of the members concerning what par Linkside hole No. 18 should play when the black and/or red tees are moved across the creek to the right side of the creek.  The Golf Chairman and the board agreed that when the black and/or red tees are moved across the creek to the right side of the creek, Linkside hole No. 18 should be played as a par 4 instead of a par 5.  This should also be reflected in scores reported to the GHIN handicap system.  When played as a par 4, a stroke should be added to an individual’s score being reported.
The issue of the pro-shop sending out groups before Golden Boys groups clear the first tee was discussed.  This has happened on several occasions recently when the pro-shop does not leave enough time for all of the Golden Boy groups that start on the back nine during the shotgun start.  After discussion, it was decided that course management would be asked to prepare some sort of sign or signal that would be given to the last group who will then leave it on the first tee when they have teed-off and left the tee to signal the pro-shop that they can start sending out groups to play.
Dine-A-Round Chairman’s Report
There was no Dine-A-Round Chairman’s report.

New Business

The next meeting of the board will be Wednesday December 2, 2015 following golf on that date.  The meeting is being scheduled to comply with the Golden Boy Bylaws that require a meeting to occur in December where the newly elected board members take office replacing those board members whose terms have expired, and the President and Vice-President are elected.  In addition, traditionally the out-going President introduces the new board members, President and Vice-President at the annual Christmas Party.

Treasure’s Report:

Treasurer Dave Bogniard presented the financial statement and budget.  Dave reported that we were on target for this year’s budget and that the Hole-in-One Fund is in good shape for this year.  However, there have been a number of hole-in-ones this year and the fund is being depleted.  Dave suggested that for 2016 that there should be an assessment for the Hole-In-One insurance fund.

Golf Chairman’s Report:

Bill Ross and Mike Miner reported that the three interclub tournaments (Mountain Interclub, Cummings Cove and the Carolina Interclub) hosted by the Golden Boys at Pebble Creek Country Club were successful. The three events were slightly over budget due to food and beverage fees.

The Mountain Interclub will probably not be active in 2016 because Hendersonville and Kenmure dropped out this year leaving only Pebble Creek and Cliffs Valley.  The golf chairman will contact Cliffs Valley and some other courses to see if they would want to host a home-and-home tournaments in 2016, similar to what we do with Cummings Cove.

Golf Chairman’s Report:

Bill Ross distributed a schedule for the 2015 inter-club matches.  Inter-club selection cards were passed out to members requesting specific inter-club events.  There was some lack of interest in certain inter-club outings that may be due to the longer driving distances to some outings.  To help with issue a sheet will be posted on the bulletin board for car pooling to the inter-club events.

Golden Boy golfers were reminded about taken care of the golf courses at Pebble Creek by placing sand in divots (place sand from the cart in your divot and on or two others that have not been repaired), repairing ball marks on the greens (repair your own and at least one other that has been ignored), rake the trap sand after playing out of a trap, and respect the cart rules (if using a handicap flag please avoid wet areas particularly around the greens and tees. Also, to try and keep the pace of golf up so that matches are completed in 4 hours or less.

It was pointed out that the Grille computer used to post scores was removed by its owner.  Bill Ross asked if any of the Golden Boys might have a computer that they were not using and would be will to donate for use in the Grill to post scores. A motion was made, seconded, and approved to spend up to $300 on a new computer if one is not donated.

Bill asked if there was any interest in playing the loop once a month.  The members present expressed interest and the idea will be implemented after discussion with the pro-shop about staring times for both courses.

George Baker suggested that there be a rule change or a rule adopted that states that if someone is unable to finish 18 holes of golf during a Golden Boys regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday golf event that a blind must be used for the entire event and not use a partial score for the individual that was not able to finish an entire round of golf.  The suggested rule was moved, seconded, and approved by the members present.

Bill Ross thanked Brent for all he does for the Golden Boys throughout the year.

Also, he reported that a golf committee had been formed from the various golf groups at Pebble Creek to work with Bill Robinson, General Manager for the Pebble Creek golf courses, to work out issues that the groups have concerning the golf course and it’s maintained.
