Gentlemen,
Several situations have arisen that demand our attention.

  1. Tournament Fees
    You have undoubtedly noticed the rise in the price of just about everything including golf equipment. Your dollars and scrip just don't go as far in the pro-shop as they have in the past. Our Club has always been generous with tournament prizes, mainly because 100% of your tournament fee goes into the prize fund and that fund is then enhanced by anywhere from 50% to 100% from the treasury. As good as that sounds it is not keeping up with inflation.Therefore the Board of Directors has voted to raise tournament fees to $15.00.
    This will allow the Tournament Directors to raise the prizes across the board, including raising the minimum prize from $10.00 to $15.00.
  2. Tournament Cancellation
    The Wednesday tournament in November is cancelled. The tournament was scheduled to be played November 4th. The Greens keepers are to start aerating the greens on November 2nd. There is no acceptable alternate date for the tournament, so it has been cancelled.

  3. Club Championship
    There was an incident during the first round of the Club Championship. A player, after he conferred with his marker and his marker signed the player's card and left, changed at least one score on the card and returned it to the scorekeeper.
    Later the marker saw the change in the round 1 results and contacted the Committee. The player was disqualified from the tournament.
    This is a serious breach of the Rules of Golf. You can not change your scorecard after you marker has signed your card, unless you consult with the marker and you both agree to the change.
    The Board of Directors selected a committee to investigate. The player met with this committee and took full responsibility for the rule violation. The committee reported to the Board of Directors who after discussion decided to ban the player from any tournaments for 4 months and all the Major tournaments in 2027.
