Roll Call: Present were Eric McCormick, Paul Stover, Ken Stearns, Allan
Morrison, Rita Bolli, Kristin Christensen; absent were Lynne Edwards -
Swanson and Michael Hayes.
Approval of June 2018 minutes: Ken recommended approval of the
minutes and Paul seconded the motion and this passed. He is trying to
get control of the thistles and has the help of a volunteer and the city.
Volunteers have painted the yardage markers on cart paths and fairway
markers today. Request has been received from Ann DeBoard to put
up a plaque in her husband Bob's memory on the large rock in the
fairway that they live adjacent to. There was a discussion and all
agreed to honor this. Green's will be top -dressed soon and next week
verticut before the Amateur tournament.
Allan's report: Rounds of golf numbers and full pass sales are
significantly up from last year to date. Junior clinic, Smoke Jumper
tourney, Senior Woman's, Senior Men's Match and the Hawkins
Tournaments were all successful. The Amateur tournaments are
coming up this month. Rita composed a letter to be sent to Mark
Johnson about the Amateur encouraging him to advertise the course.
Several corporate groups have scheduled tournaments in July. There
are still more openings in the 2 lady BB coming up Aug 5-6. The Men
and Ladies' club championship are scheduled together on Aug 18-19.
The online tee time scheduler is now working. There was discussion
about the groups of 5 players holding up the course play and Allan
stated that it was city policy to let that occur.
Monthly topic: Rules and Regulations —a copy was reviewed and a
discussion about service dogs ensued. This was tabled for next week
when we get a definition. The rules now state that pets are not
allowed on the golf course. There have been complaints about players
bringing their dog and then having it run along side the cart and not
picking up their "deposits". There was also discussion about the item
that states no child under 5 can play golf as we have lessons for
children under that age.
Old Business: It was previously suggested to have a camera on the
Cedar 9 holes to avoid people using it without tee times. At this point
the technology that is affordable is not known but we will keep this in
mind and ask some tech people for advice. LOT applications included a
bathroom on the course, but this was tabled for 1 year. Rebuilding of
Aspen #6 green, winter covers for the greens, and several capital items
are still on the list.
New Business: Allan proposed a new tournament Sept 15-16 called a 1-
person scramble for men and women and it was agreed to have this
tournament added to the schedule. There is a problem with "no show"
tee times and a discussion ensued to try to help the problem including
asking people to call early if they are going to cancel._
Adjournment: 5:15pm Next meeting is August 8, 2018
