Officers Comments/Reports:

President, John Coyle:

John thanked Gary Johnson, Nate Parsons and Paul Kaeser for their efforts in draining the lake formed by a broken pump on number 9 recently.  The Board voted to give them each a gift certificate for our restaurant.

Dick Partee passed away recently.  His company has been a consistent sponsor over the years.  John sent a note to his company, thanking them for their past support.

John tried to line up Pete Donavan as our guest speaker for this meeting but he had a previous commitment.

Mr. Coyle brought some new rule books for anyone who needs or wants one.

An issue from the last Membership meeting was revisited and that was the cost of lunch at the Club Championship tournament.  He told those present that the Board decided that there would be a charge for future Club Championship lunches for the approximate cost of the meal.  He also thanked the membership for their input on this matter.

A Code of Conduct was established for our members in hopes of making all of us aware that we expect all players to adhere to accepted behavioral guidelines.  The Board felt it was necessary to establish standards now. This new Code was established as a result of a few incidents lately that offended members on the golf course.

One of our members mentioned that some golfers are parking the golf cart closer than 30’ to the green, which is a violation of the general rule.  John told the members that only Bob B could make any exceptions to the rule and if you see a violation, report it to Bob.  There are a limited number of members who may be able to park closer to the green but Bob must approve.  If you see someone violating the rule, please mention to them that this is in violation of Club rules and if they have any questions they should talk to Bob B.
