OLD BUSINESS

Copies of the pre-approved minutes from the Jan.17, 2014 Board Meeting were distributed. Following their review it was determined that there were no Old Business items still requiring follow-up.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Ray used his reporting time to briefly discuss the proper way to approach a player when he is observed breaking a Rule of Golf.

In short, Ray said:

First, assume that the player doesn’t know he is breaking a Rule.

Second, use the opportunity to take the player aside and privately explain to him what you observed him doing, point out why what he did was a Rule’s violation and what the penalty for the infraction requires.

Third, tell the player that now that he knows the Rule he will be subject to a penalty if he is observed following the wrong procedure again.

Ray said the whole idea should be to teach and caution, not to punish and embarrass. This way, an awkward situation can be turned into a win-win situation for everyone.

DIRECTOR REPORTS

Accounting & Tournaments – Jim DeToskey

Jim distributed copies of the 1st Quarter accounting records, showing all the Club’s business transactions, and the monies credited and debited from the Club’s checking account.

Jim reported that the Club’s checking account stood at $9141.00. This included $1326 in monies owed to Chino Creek for the April Tournament and approximately $3000.00 in monies so far collected for the Carlton Oaks Resort Tournament. Jim said that there was an additional $239.00 in “petty cash”, and a total of $1590.00 on deposit with golf courses, for the tournaments we had booked through the end of 2014.

Jim also reported that he had already received a total of 33 applications for Carlton Oaks and was hoping to have a few more players signed up for the Tournament before the cut-off date of April 30, 2014. If so, this would exceed the largest number of players we have ever had entered for this Tournament.

Handicap & Membership – Chuck Devereaux

Chuck handed out copies of the most recent GHIN Report showing the number of rounds posted by our Members since the beginning of the year. Quizzically, the range of “player activity” varied greatly, with some Members showing 20 or more rounds posted and others as few as one or two

This disparity led to a discussion of some of the reasons those members who did not show many posted scores might have had for playing so few times during the first quarter of the year. While part of the posting inactivity was explainable, some was not.

It was noted that closer monitoring of those Members who regularly post fewer than the normal average expected during consecutive quarters might require further looking into to find out why.

The Board determined to revisit the subject at the next meeting, and in the mean time to come up with ideas on how to insure Members are properly posting all the rounds they play, and how to deal with Members who don’t. 

Rules & Archives - Steve Hill

Steve reported that the results of the “satisfaction surveys” taken after the Los Amigos, Skylinks and Los Serranos, tournaments all received above average reviews indicating a high amount of Member satisfaction for these venues.

Due to Dan McKenna’s absence Steve was given the chore of putting together the Carlton Oaks “Tee Package”. Dan will be contacted to help Steve in the procuring of the items and putting the Tee Package together.

Special Events & Entertainment – Dan Mckenna

Dan was not present to give a Report.

NEW BUSINESS

A brief review of the Rules and the Starting Brackets for both the Senior and Super-Senior Flights was conducted. All 32 starting spots in both flights have been filled, and two Members slated to play in the Super-Senior Flight chose to move up to fill open spots in the Senor Flight.

The final details still needing to be completed for the Carlton Oaks Tourney were reviewed and follow-up responsibility for each item was assigned to the proper committee Member.
