OLD BUSINESS
Copies of the minutes from
the April 4, 2014 Board Meeting had previously been distributed and approved. These have yet to be posted on the web site.
Old Business items still requiring follow-up were deferred to the next Board Meeting.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
With the sudden and untimely
passing of Chairman Ray Sandoval, the meeting was conducted on a somewhat informal basis. Jim proposed that the club continue
through the balance of the year without a chairman. He further proposed that a temporary Board position of Communications
Director be created and that Ted Sonju be appointed to this position. This proposal was moved, seconded and passed.
DIRECTOR REPORTS
Accounting &
Tournaments – Jim DeToskey
Jim distributed copies
of the 2nd 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 $2978.00. Jim said that there was an additional $245.00
in “petty cash”, and a total of $610.00 on deposit with golf courses for the tournaments we had booked through
the end of 2014.
Jim specifically reported
all receipts and expenditures applicable to the Carlton Oaks tournament, showing a net “profit” of $.93.
Handicap & Membership
– Chuck Devereaux
Chuck handed out an updated
list of members with phone numbers for all. The club currently has 61 active members. Club by-laws were reviewed and it was
agreed that all members in good standing are eligible for election to the Board regardless of age.
Rules &
Archives - Steve Hill
Steve reported the results
of recent “satisfaction surveys”. All received above average reviews
indicating a high amount of Member satisfaction for these venues, although there was some discussion of the slow drive home
after the slow play at River Ridge.
Special Events &
Entertainment – Dan McKenna
Dan asked about the acceptance
of the “tee bags” distributed at Carlton Oaks. The consensus was that they were very well received. He will be
working on the preparation of “tee bags” for the tournament at Solvang.
NEW BUSINESS
The tournament at Green River
has been announced and members have been signing up. This tournament will determine the Senior Champion and the Super Senior
Champion. A reminder shall be sent out shortly before the sign-up deadline of
Aug. 2.
A sample scorecard for Green
River containing a provision for recording time of play was presented to the Board for discussion. This relates to the ongoing
effort to encourage a more acceptable pace of play. Ted suggested that it might be advisable to send out a Preliminary Starter
Sheet via email so that members have an idea as to with whom they will be playing and where they will start to minimize confusion
and speed up play.
Designated first priority
was the issuance of the announcement of the “Mulligan” member-guest tournament to be held on September 4, one
week earlier than normal. Particulars of this competition were discussed including cost, menu, handicap application and sign-up
deadline.
The most significant action
involved the October Solvang “Getaway” Tournament. The Board voted to rename this tournament “The Ray Sandoval
Memorial Tournament”. This was the desire not only of the Board, but of Ray’s family as well. It was noted that
the Sandoval’s were wed at the Mission of Santa Inez just down the road from The River Course at Alisal.
The particulars of this tournament
were discussed. Green fees remain $61 per day for each day with option to play 2 or 3 days. A drawing for free day for early
sign-up may be considered. Royal Copenhagen rooms are $79, reservations to be made individually.
Also discussed were plans
for announcing and implementing the election of Board members at the November tournament as well as distribution of packages
for membership renewal.
The 4th Quarter
Board meeting will be held on Friday, October 3, 2014 at Victoria, 9:00 a.m.
