Motion to approve minutes: A motion to approve the minutes was made by Al Veniscofsky seconded by Rick Frechette. The motion passed Unanimously.

PGA Report: Casey said 2006 was a good year. Number of Rounds were down due to the weather. Sent out E-Mails to members who are past due to Casey. Sold 11 Sky Caddies for 2006 – newer and better version coming out for 2007. There was a discussion on re-marking the course in the spring. A suggestion was made to retain Credit Card numbers from members who have outstanding pro shop balances.

MembershipCorrespondence: There was a request from a member to be excused for only having 8 rounds in this year due to sickness in the family. No one seemed to have a problem with this. Kieran sent E-Mails to members as a reminder to get their 10 rounds in.

Membership Communications: Some complaints from people on not posting date for fall banquet in a timely manner. This discussion will be discussed further in December meeting.

Membership Report: Al Cussson – Suggests Trying to get Membership Info out by Jan 2007.

Tournament Committee: Talked about rearranging some inter-club Tournaments because of conflicting schedules. Quarry Ridge have people who have to qualify where we struggle to get people to play on a volunteer basis. One thought is to play Blackledge in June and Quarry Ridge in September. Casey suggested having a 2 Ball format for 9 holes and an individual Tournament for the other 9 holes each day. Al discussed making decisions on calling the weekly tournaments due to Inclement weather or even based on weather radar. A suggestion came up where in these situations where play is optional. There was a discussion on most improved player which was presented at banquet.  

Web Page Administration: No report for now.

Handicap and Rules: A spreadsheet was passed out and 3 Dates to show over the season how many people were in each flight. It was agreed that there is a good balance of people within the flights.

Treasurers Report: Copies of budget were passed out and the actuals were $5,000.000 in the hole compared with the budget. Discussion ensued on ways to reduce the shortfall. It was mentioned to either/or increase membership and increase membership rates. This will be tabled until the December meeting.  

Old Business: Fred Moffa mentioned that more people showed up at the Spring Banquet than people committed. There was a discussion on this which will continue in December’s meeting.

New Business: Fred Moffa suggested we should advertise our reduced Playing times per round to attract new members. This was a bone of contention for many people. One way is to say that the majority of people are getting their rounds in 4 Hours and 30 Minutes or less. There was discussion on tee time sign-ups. Most members assume that their tee times are always the same slots they sign up. The pro shop does their best to accommodate everyone but it is impossible to guarantee this.

Motion made by Fred Moffa to Adjourn and was agreed by all.

Next Meeting: 12/6/06 6pm, at a place to be determined.

Meeting Adjourned: 7:45
