EWMGA BOARD MEETING
NOVEMBER 13, 2012
This Eagle Watch
Men’s Golf Association (EWMGA) Board meeting was started at
6:10 pm in the Eagle Watch Club House. Board member
attendees were Jim Gould (Vice President), David Scott
(Secretary), Erik Rosengren (Treasurer), Mark Dickson,
Sergio Silva and Bob Smith. Absentees were Gary Janos
(President), Tony Jones, Frank Peters, Larry Terry and Bruce
Worthington. Phil Suiter of the Canongate/Eagle Watch staff
was also in attendance. Jim chaired this meeting in the
absence of Gary.
Erik presented
the Treasurer’s Report depicting a current bank balance of
$729.67 with no outstanding debts. Current 2012 EWMGA
membership stands at 116.
The Night Golf
Tournament, held on November 9th, was
reviewed. Only seven teams participated with three teams
not finishing due primarily to problems with the lighted
golf balls being used. It was decided that we would pay
first place prize monies ($20 to each player) and refund $15
each to the players who were not able to complete their
tournament play. There were a number of complaints
regarding the food and beverage quality that were discussed
with Phil. Phil also agreed to review the food bill
invoiced for this tournament.
The EWMGA
Ryder Cup Tournament, scheduled for December 1st,
was reviewed. Bob reported that we have only 12 sign-ups to
date and Frank is to do additional publicity to encourage
participation. Phil indicated that participation of 40 to
48 players is desired. Food and beverage arrangements and
budgets have been completed and the one-day 27 hole format
was discussed.
The upcoming
Board elections status was discussed with ballots to be
available by December 1st and voting to close on
December 20th. Final nominees are the 5 current
Board members (Erik, Sergio, Larry, Gary and David) with
expiring terms and Ed Wagner and Mark Rieneke. Voting will
be handled by both website and hardcopy distribution. An
email is to be distributed announcing the election and how
to cast votes.
Erik advised that
arrangements have been made with the Club for 2013 EWMGA
membership dues to be again billed against individual club
accounts, if desired.
He requested that
Gary provide a 2012 President’s Report which he would like
to include in an email to all current members along with the
request for 2013 membership signups.
The need to
review and possibly update our EWMGA website was discussed
and agreed that we would pursue further at the next Board
meeting.
Phil reviewed
current and planned course conditions. These included the
renovation of the back nine hole cart paths to be
accomplished this year and the work being done to golf carts
replacing batteries. Twenty gas-powered carts are being
made available while the battery replacement program is
being completed.
There
was no further new business presented and this meeting was
adjourned at 6:45 pm. The next EWMGA Board meeting will be
held on Tuesday night (December 11th)
starting at 6:00 pm.
Respectively
submitted: David Scott - Secretary
