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 starting with January's Wednesday Individual Stroke Play tournament, January 6th, 2027.
   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.
