Minutes of Board Meeting

DATE: Tuesday, August 6, 2002

TIME: 9:00 A.M.

PLACE: Horsethief Golf Club

The meeting was called to order by President Carlos Lillywhite. Additional board members present were Vice President Andy Strong, Treasurer Paul Beckett, Secretary Steve Cherry, Handicap and Membership Chairman Cecil Clark, and Board Member Dick Burris. Tournament Chairman Tom Crumrine was also present and General Manager Scott Phillips attended to update the Board on current and planned Golf Course changes and improvements.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Carlos Lillywhite reported that Andy Strong will be moving to Missouri and has submitted a letter of resignation. All Board members thanked Andy for his hard work and wished him all the best in his move. Andy will be replaced in accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws.

TREASURER'S REPORT: Treasurer Paul Beckett provided an updated report showing a balance of $3779.72.

TOURNAMENT CHAIRMAN'S REPORT: Tom Crumrine reported that the Member-Guest Tournament is on track for this weekend. On Labor Day, there will be an individual net tournament using full handicap. The Club Championship will be on September 14^th and 15^th and will recognize a gross and net champion. The President’s Cup competition will start on September 16^th and will last until approximately October 15^th. Tom also reported that, as a member of the “committee” he would recommend playing the fairway bunker on #9 as “ground under repair,” which allows taking relief, but requires the ball to be dropped within the boundary of the bunker. This generated a heated discussion which led to a motion that the board request Tom’s resignation. The motion was seconded and defeated.

GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT: Scott Phillips reported that a new sales office will be built in the area currently occupied by the tennis courts and a new maintenance building will be constructed in the area of the upper parking lot. A new chef has been hired for the 19^th hole and satellite TV has been installed in the clubhouse. He also said that management has purchased new golf course maintenance equipment for the first time in a number of years.

MEMBERSHIP AND HANDICAP CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Cecil Clark reported that membership currently stands at 140 members. He said that the SCGA needs to know if our organization would support allowing individuals to use their own home computers to log scores for handicap purposes. The biggest concern would be adequate “peer review.” Since Cecil would be able to check all the postings, the Board felt that peer review would not be a problem and recommended approval.

NEW BUSINESS: Tom Crumrine asked whether the Board recommended continuing the practice of the Men’s Club footing the bill for the dinners of those members who attend the annual Business Meeting (usually in conjunction with the Club Championship). The Board recommended continuing the practice.

Special Constitution and Bylaws Committee members Andy Strong, and Cecil Clark presented proposed changes to the Constitution and Bylaws (the third member of the special committee, Bob Bennett, was not present). After some minor changes, the Board recommended presenting the proposed changes to the Membership for approval.

Carlos Lillywhite named a nominating committee which came up with nine names as potential candidates for next months election. The Secretary will contact the nominees to confirm that they are interested in becoming Board Members.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 AM.

Respectfully Submitted:

Steve Cherry, Secretary
