Oct.4, 2013 Board Meeting were distributed. Following their review it was
determined that there were no Old Business items requiring further
action.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT (Ray Sandoval)
Referring to the “Culture” the founders
of our
Club sought to create 15 years ago and which our Members have been encouraged to practice , Ray asked
the Board to not miss any opportunity to emphasize the importance we place on,
playing Golf by Rules, properly posting scores, and “mixing in” to the
spirit of camaraderie our Club goes out of its way to promote.
Ray said this was especially important when
dealing with new Members who have in the past or still belong to other Clubs
that may not emphasize these important parts of the Game the way the SSBGC
does.
DIRECTOR REPORTS
Accounting & Tournaments
(Jim DeToskey)
Jim distributed copies of the 2013 last
quarter’s business accounting records, showing the transactions and all the
monies credited and debited from the Club’s checking account.
Jim reported that he had received and paid the SCGA
for the 2014 affiliate fees due them, a total of $1749.
Jim reported that the Club’s checking account
stood at $3262.93
Jim
also reported that there was an additional
$228.00 in “petty cash”, and a total of $1446.00 on deposit with golf courses,
for the tournaments we had booked through the end of 2014.
Finally, Jim thanked the Board for helping
sponsor his and Tom Newbro’s entry into the 2013 SCGA Club Champion Tournament
in Palm Springs which he and Tom had thoroughly enjoyed.
Handicap & Membership
(Chuck Devereaux)
Chuck,
said that there was nothing of note to
report in his area of responsibility other than the addition of new Members at
the end of 2013 had brought our Club’s total membership to 57.
Special Events& Entertainment
(Dan Mckenna)
Dan
was not in attendance to give a report.
Rules & Archives
(Steve Hill)
Steve reviewed the Tourney “Satisfaction Surveys” taken during
the
past four tournaments. These included Alisal River, Los Serranos (No), Rio Hondo
and Los Amigos. All had received above average ratings in all categories.
NEW BUSINESS
Plans
for the “End of Spring” resort tournament
were reviewed. The final contract received from Carlton Oaks showed an increase
in prices for our planned three day Tournament.
The biggest price increase was for a single
golfer in a room, which jumped to $389. One golfer and one non-golfer in a room
also increased to $455. The price for two golfers sharing a room did not change
and will cost each person $280. These prices include three rounds of golf with
cart and the optional meals (two breakfast and two dinners) in the Resort
Sports Bar.
Taking into consideration that this is the first
major price increase Carlton Oaks has charged
us since we started going there in 2002, the
Board unanimously agreed it is still a bargain.
A Board reviewed some suggested changes for
operating the Club in 2014. These included
Closer Monitoring of Member
Handicaps
Changes to tournament
formats involving team competitions
Change of venue for our
Resort Tournaments
Rules changes for the
Club Championships
