Minutes
from our last regular meeting December 15th stand approved as posted on the web
site and in the conference room.
We
received a letter from Bill Jordan, inquiring about adding a bench for Dan
McComb.
Treasurer Gail Archey
In an effort to keep up with the impact of technology on our business we
decided to partner with EZ Links Golf to incorporate their online tee time
reservations system into our operation. Their system is designed to improve our
marketing of Golf Hammock to the golfing world by taking advantage of the Internet.
Also, their system will improve our inventory controls and bring our systems up
to date with currently available technology. As part of the process we also
updated our financial system to QuickBooks 2010. We look forward to a
successful conversion to all of this technology, but for the moment we are not
yet completely integrated with the new systems. Therefore, we do not have a
solid financial report to give at this meeting. However, we ran a 27 day
revenue report just before all of these changes were introduced, and despite a rather cold January our revenue for this year was running a
little ahead of 2009. But, it should be mentioned that neither January 2009 nor
January 2010 were as good as was January 2008. So control of expenses will be
critical to us again this year. More complete information should be available
at our March meeting.
Our new sign for the circle has been
received and should be installed in the next week or so. Fred Barefoot
and group have agreed to do the installation and we will finalize the placement
of it on Friday. Once we get thru February and the colder weather, we
will purchase the plantings which will be low maintenance. I
would like to thank all the donations and time which people have contributed to
this project.
Members
are reminded that they are to check in with the Pro Shop when playing. If you
are in a group such as the White Group or others, the member running the group
will check you in. We keep track of rounds played to get a better feel of
outside to member rounds.

Old
Business
Our
member walking policy has been amended at the request of several members. We
have a group that walks on Thursday afternoons; since we now have shot guns at
that time, they have requested that we allow them to walk. So the policy will
no longer bar members from walking during a shot gun start; we just ask that
they get there early enough to walk to their assigned starting hole.
The
new welcome sign is ready and we will start on putting that up soon. We will be
looking for plants for that area after March 1st, when the freeze
watch will officially be over.
New Business
We
are looking into the possibility of leasing 10 more carts from now until April
15th to help with the extra need for them once or twice a week.
Board Comments -
Jim
Ingalls would like to see more use made of the Web Page. Someone will be
appointed to take pictures at activities. In addition he would like to have
pictures of each hole posted. Another helpful feature is the ability for
members and non-members to make tee times thru the Web Page. Wray will meet
with Jim re. other possibilities eg. the possibility of real estate brokers using the Web Page.
He will report back to the Board.
A motion was made by Gail Archey to
adjourn the meeting; seconded by Cindy Bowser. The meeting was adjourned at 7:30
p.m.
