Subject: LDMGA Minutes for 6/14/06


> The LDMGA Board met at 7:30PM, Wednesday, June 14, 2006.  Board 
> members
> present were Light, Bray, Zane, Kellogg, VanBruggen, Sleeman and 
> Kleckner.  Members absent were Henderson, Greaves, Deward and Ampersee.
> The secretaries report was accepted as published on email.
> Bray presented the treasurer's report.  We now have 103 paid members and 
> 79 in Tuesday league.  The report was approved.
> Coming events:  Fathers Day, June 18, chaired by Ken Pace.
> Saturday Event on July 1 - Scott Cool. 
> Club Championship  - Kleckner provided a write up which allows members 
> to play their matches when they can be scheduled rather than tying all 
> entrants to Saturday and Sunday, June 24 & 25.   There will be no entry 
> fee so all members should participate.
> Couples Club Championship on July 9 - Chaired by the Brays.
> Member- Guest on July 14 & 25 - Kellogg reported 29 or 30 members have 
> already signed up.  The committee has decided to give the major gift to 
> guests only.
> Sr. Member-Member:  A conflict in scheduling has arisen.  The new dates 
> are Wednesday, July 9 & Friday, July 11.
> There was a discussion about late entrants for Saturday events.  It was 
> a consensus that there has not been a real problem or abuse so no change 
> is needed.  Don Elland has been good help in handling late entrants.
> Since a non-member played in a recent LDMGA Saturday event, there was 
> discussion of LDMGA policy on this.  It was reaffirmed that you must be 
> an active  member of LDMGA to compete in any LDMGA-sponsored event 
> (except for a few designated guest events).  (See bottom paragraph on 
> page 2 of the Information Manual.
> There was some discussion on the repeat winners in Tuesday league, but 
> no action was taken.
> Kellogg reported that the Friday Couples events have gone well.  
> However, the fee for guests for 9 holes with cart has been raised to $15 
> each plus the $5 per couple entry fee.  This change is believed to be in 
> reaction to paying prizes in cash rather than gift certificates.
> Zane reported that he approached Todd Hartson about making the right of 
> hole #18 a lateral hazard.  Par Five will consider it , again.  They do 
> not object to LDMGA making it lateral for our events.
> The poor condition of out-of-bound and hazard stakes was discussed.  
> Light will bring this up to Par Five.  There is the possibility that a 
> group from LDMGA membership could rework all boundaries.
> Again, it was lamented that results of our tournaments rarely get 
> published in the Kalamazoo Gazette.  Light will contact them to try to 
> find out why we are left out even when results are faxed in.
> Meeting adjourned at 8:30PM.
