Paul opened the meeting going directly to the Secretary Report.
Secretary Report (Gary): The RLMGA Board Minutes had been submitted for review, comments incorporated, and approved through e-mail correspondence. The Roster and Winnings pages of the website have been updated. It was requested that the website include the Saturday tournament schedule.
Treasurer Report (Ed): Ed gave us the financial status (as of 3/31/15) showing a balance of $15,633.06. This reflects all annual dues received to date. It was recommended that a third column be added to the financial report that reflects percentage of budget based on tournaments completed. We have added 16 new members and have 2 members that have yet to pay their dues. There were 11 prior members not playing this year. Ed provided the set of renewal forms to Gary for updating the RLMGA Roster which will then be posted on the website. The board reviewed the remaining members not playing. Ken Smith will be removed from the roster and contact will be made to Bob Hickey.
Vice President Report (Dave): Dave reported a summary of the first away trip to MUNI Golf Course in Wilmington on March 31st. Most comments from members were very positive. Discussion continued on when away trips should be scheduled planned. The criterion that will be used is the non-availability of both courses. When this criterion is met on Tuesday or Thursday an away trip will be scheduled. Additional away trips will be considered when this criterion is met on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Based on discussions with Larry George candidate dates are May 20th (Wednesday), May 28th (Thursday), September 17th (Thursday), and October 13th (Tuesday). There will be no away trips planned for days that play days are planned, or when Thursday Night League is scheduled.
Tournament Director Report (Bob and Dennis): Bob indicated that the first four Tuesdays averaged 62 members and the first three Thursdays averaged 32 members. The Breakfast Shamble had 101 members and the first road trip had 52 members. As of today 70% of the members are playing from the Yellow Tees. Pat Gasparini (RLLGA) will announce “The Battle of the Sexes” via e-mail with sign-up in the Pro Shop. When the announcement comes out we will also post on the RLMGA website. Order for shirts for this event must be in by May 4th. Announcement from Tom Whalen for the Pinehurst overnight trip will go out the first week of May, then RLMGA will sent out an e-mail blast to members the first week in June. It was requested that we post information about the upcoming Saturday tournament on the website plus sending out an e-mail blast (including format, and meal information).
Old Business (Paul): This will be the first time using two cards with the official going to Bob and the backup going in the handicap box. Huck indicated that second card concept is working well.
New Business (Paul) Huck stated that the golf clinic is full for 10:30 tomorrow. Jim Frater stated that all new members have been assigned buddies and all have been contacted to aid in integrating them into the RLMGA and there have been no negative responses. The Handbook received final comments from Ed Braks and they will be integrated and then put on the website. The RLMGA Board established an Election Committee consisting of Paul, Dave, Skip, Huck and Joel Peterson (who still needs to be asked). Positions to be filled are one Member-at-Large (replacing Jim Frater), Treasurer, Tournament Director, and Assistant Tournament Director. There was discussion whether the two directors should be elected or appointed. It was felt that appointed was more appropriate. This will be rolled into the review of the By-Laws. Skip, Paul, Ed and Gary will review and update them prior to submitting to the full board. Bob indicated that consideration be given to adding some lower handicap members to the board as it relates to Tournament Directors. Paul presented the selected logos for RLMGA. Final decision was made to remove the words “Fellowship” and “Golf” and use the logo with Golf Clubs and Ball.
Next meeting: May 13th 3:30 PM
