Swanson, Rita Bolli, Kristin Christensen
A motion was made to approve the May minutes by
Lynne and seconded by Ken and all approved. Minutes
will be signed next meeting.
Eries report: There has been some breakdown of equipment
lately that is being worked on. One mower was in the shop and
was not fixed adequately so had to go back to the mechanic at
John Deere for a second time. The new mechanic at the course
is learning fast. Staff will be planting trees now that the frost is
less likely. Birch holes 5,6, 8 received fertilizer marks from early
play but should grow out. Good comments on how well the
course looks were received. Staffing is improving for the
season. Lynne asked about walking paths being mowed
between holes and Eric indicated that he did not have the staff
to accomplish this currently. JJ is setting up a meeting on
handicap info at 2 pm on June 18th. Greens were all aerified in
May. Mosquitoes have been a problem lately and the plan is to
fog the course on Thursday nights after dark. We still have
walkers and bikers that live near the course, but staff are trying
to keep people informed that it is against policy once the
course is open. The restaurant has been busy and will be open
at 8 am to 9 pm seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch and
dinner every day. Staffing has been a problem.
Allan's report: The 2 man BB is full and the Sr. Match play and
Women's Senior scramble are coming up. The 2 Lady BB will be
held Aug. 5-6 instead of 4-5. The Hawkins Event will happen
this year and they will get a 10% discount which is the
maximum amount that will be allowed for larger tournaments
due to the number of players and the fact that they will get all
food and beverage from the clubhouse.
Monthly topic: Marketing was this month's topic and this
includes the winter carnival, travel for marketing, Cyber golf for
the website. $6,291.20 was spent and the budget is $9,000.
We will have some advertising in a regional golf magazine for
September play. Eric submitted a list of specific payments
made.. Rules and Regs will be the topic next month. Eric will
send out a copy in advance so we can go over them before the
next meeting.
Old Business: A discount of 10% will be offered to those
players of private tournaments of 24 players or more that
commit to food and beverage purchases at Banyons. Eric will
get smoking signs designed and installed in the near future.
Adjournment: 5:15; next meeting will be July 11 at 4 pm
Rita Bolli, GCAC Chair
