Year End One-man Scramble Event and Banquet

Click to hear Jack

First of all, the officers would like to apologize for some communication mix-up with getting some grub for the event. We, in the past, had collected some additional monies to cover food. There was discussion at our September meeting, which you all are always invited to attend, that we decided to allow everyone to decide to order something from the grill, if you desired. We (the Officers) did not communicate this clearly. Lessons learned.

On to the One-man scramble plus team event results… Team Event winners Kapp, Jaeger, Zwirlein, Nowotny. Gross winner: Mike O’Neil Net winner: Bob Breul See details from event. Flag event winners included: O’Neil #7 & #12; Johnson #10 & Cuthbert #18. Pace of play was a bit slower than expected; we will have to work on helping get this event done a little quicker next year.

With President Dan Webb unable to attend, Michael Kessler your VP stepped up and ran the year end meeting. As a first year VP, Michael did a fantastic job with the meeting by keeping things moving and handling the business and heckling members.

NEW BUSINESS:

Recommendation to think about a prepay system for events similar other clubs. Discussions will continue next year to see how that may work.

Tour of the County has dropped Grant and Greenfield in favor of some different courses for 2013 season.

Mike Kessler and Jack Bruss will be securing golf courses for 2013, if you have suggestions please share them.

As a club, everyone felt there was a little improvement with slow play. We still have to work harder to get our rounds closer to 4 hours. Read the Ready Golf Mission Statement.

There are two events remaining this year. Abbey Springs and The Bull
