Golf Committee Meeting
July 1, 2019
The Golf Committee met at 3pm, and the following members were present:
Ron Jessop and Judy Casimir represented the golfers, Larry Roberts represented the HOA and Suzanne Rayborn, Community Manager, represented Sun. Mike Gray was out of town.
Ron and Judy expressed the concern of all the golfers about the change in maintenance companies. Brightpoint has been doing a good job, the course looks better than ever, and hopefully we won’t lose momentum in this direction. Suzanne indicated she was familiar with the new contractor, and provided assurances that they will continue doing a good job for us as well.
There was considerable discussion about “paying to play”, and the fact that there is currently not a reliable system in place to insure that all players have paid. Obviously, this is important as it costs money to operate and maintain the course. Any shortfalls at the end of the year will likely come back to haunt us in the future, in the form of higher fees for everyone, and various forms of cost control. The committee offered several suggestions to insure that all players have paid, and these will be discussed with Mike.
It was suggested that if our rules are to include a dress code, then it must be enforced. It was suggested that the Starter should have the authority and responsibility to enforce the code, and deny entry to those players who are improperly attired.
It was suggested that a mandatory annual orientation for all members be held at the clubhouse at the beginning of the “season”. It would provide an opportunity to review rules, dress code, and any other subjects of interest, and hopefully leave the members with a uniform understanding of these topics.
A meeting was scheduled with Mike on Monday, July 8th, to review these topics.
