EWMGA BOARD MEETING
FEBRUARY
8, 2011
The Eagle Watch Men’s Golf
Association (EWMGA) Board meeting was started at 6:05 pm in
the Eagle Watch Hearth restaurant. All Board members were
present except Mark Dickson and Larry Terry. Andy
Cartwright and Rick Sandle of the Canongate/Eagle Watch
staff were also in attendance.
Andy provided an update of current
and planned golf course conditions and plans. This included
the back nine cart path renovation status; the temporary
closure of the chipping and practice putting greens; and
on-going concerns with the cart GPS units. Andy also agreed
to investigate and respond to a number of other concerns and
suggestions from the Board members. The Board took this
time to also compliment Rick and his staff on their food and
beverage support. It was agreed that planning for another
BBQ event, similar to last year, will be discussed during
the March Board meeting.
Erik Rosengren presented the
Treasurer’s Report indicating a current bank balance of
$1,312.86 with no debts outstanding. He also reported that
we will be receiving an additional $645.00 based on billing
of EWMGA dues through their club accounts.
Erik then reported that there are
currently 64 EWMGA 2011 members.
Discussion continued covering 2011
EWMGA tournament activities and plans as follows:
Bloody Mary & Groundhog Day
Open: This event was held on February 5th
with 45 participants. Favorable comments on both the format
and food/beverage have been received. The co-chairmen (Jim
Gould, Erik Rosengren and Bob Smith) were complimented by
the Board.
4-Man Combined Dogfight:
This tournament is scheduled for February 26th
with Al Whitten, Bruce Worthington, Larry Terry and Sergio
Silva serving as co-chairmen. The announcement poster and
sign-up sheets were reviewed and are to be immediately
posted. Tournament format and food/beverage arrangements
were also discussed and agreed-upon.
Shamrock Shuffle:
This tournament is currently scheduled for March 20th
but may be rescheduled due to discussions held regarding
possible changes to the Cream of the Crop tournament. Jim
Gould, David Scott and Al Whitten are the co-chairmen for
the Shamrock Shuffle. The preliminary poster and sign-up
sheet were reviewed.
Cream of the Crop:
This tournament is currently scheduled for April 16th
and 17th with Gary Janos, Bob Smith and Erik
Rosengren serving as co-chairmen. A conflict with another
outside golfing event has been recognized which could cause
a number of EWMGA members not to be able to participate in
this event. Discussion was held regarding the ability to
reschedule our tournament for the benefit of our members.
Following extensive discussion, a motion was made, seconded
and passed to have Gary Janos discuss, with the Eagle Watch
golf staff, the possibility of moving the Cream of the Crop
tournament to March 19th and 20th and
moving the Shamrock Shuffle tournament from March 20th
to a date in August. The motion included a provision that,
if this change was not possible, we would retain the current
dates for both of these tournaments. Gary is to provide a
report on his discussions as soon as possible.
EWMGA Member/Guest:
This tournament is currently scheduled to be held on October
1st and 2nd. The club has identified
a conflict with these dates and requested we consider
another weekend. Following discussion, the Board agreed to
reschedule this tournament to September 24th and
25th.
Thursday Night Golf League:
Discussion was held regarding the need to increase
participation in this on-going event and possible means to
accomplish this objective. This included a permanent event
poster, more publicity, prize incentives and possible
food/beverage arrangements. This subject will continue to
be reviewed for implementation.
There was no further new business
presented and the meeting was adjourned at 7:35 pm. The
next scheduled Board meeting will be held on March 8th
starting at 6:00 pm.
Respectively
