RLMGA Board Meeting April 17, 2012
Members Present: Richard Russell, Mike Masinick, Paul Izzo, John Goodman, Skip Romanet, Dave Gray (Absent Benny Pulzone)
Call to Order 4:00 PM
Agenda: 1. Road Trips 2. Communications 3. Dues adjustments for late joiners 4. Pace of Play
Road Trips: Skip says he wants to schedule a day trip, probably once a month and a couple of overnight trips. It was settled on the last Monday of the month as our day trips. Walnut Creek came up as one trip. Overnight trips will, if possible, coincide with days our course is closed for outside play.
Communications: Skip talked about the bulletin board in the lockeroom and asked that we update it somehow. It was discussed and decided it would fall to Paul and Dave to see how we can make it more informative. However, it was clearly stated that the board wants the RLMGA Newsletter to be the primary means of communication. One thing the bulletin board will do is remind members of how to use the newsletter.
The other issue of communications has to do with the online sign ups. there have been a few problems, particularly with the 2-Man Tournament. Mike says he will work with the pro shop to see how we can make it better. Dave said he would get out an immediate email to members to sign up for this Saturday's tournament in the clubhouse.
Dues Adjustments:
It has been brought to our attention that some members have been injured and may want to join the RLMGA later in the year. We also have move-ins that should not have to pay for an entire year if they move in mid year. After a lot of discussion it was decided to make it simple. We will charge at a rate of $10.00 per tournament(s) left on the schedule for this year. It was made clear that this will apply for this year, 2012. This will be taken up again next year.
We went on to discuss dues, financial status and membership. John Goodman says we have 146 members, 4 of which are Social Members.
We are having 9 scheduled tournaments this year. 50/50 was discussed. We stay at 3 for $5, 7 for $10.00 and for $20. you get an arm length. (Skip has long arms)
Pace of Play
We are not sure what to say about this issue except that it always comes up. We believe there has been a big improvement but it keeps coming up as an issue. We again stress if anyone has a solution please come forward. It was brought up that we are a large club with a wide range of handicaps. Although we wish all could play together regardless of handicap, that will probably not happen. At the same time, as a group the board must represent EVERY member of the RLMGA. A 4- hour round seems reasonable to members of the board.
Dave asked Paul Izzo if he would write the RL Community Newsletter piece for the club through Sabrina. Paul said he would do so.
General discussion followed and we adjourned at 4:10 PM
No further meeting scheduled
