- Meeting Overview:
The Gardner Golf Commission discussed a new initiative to support veterans and provided updates on the golf course’s operations, including technological upgrades and preparations for the new season. A significant topic was the proposal to join a program that offers discounts to veterans at various businesses. The Commission considered participating in this initiative as it aligns with the existing veterans’ discount offered at the golf course. The program would feature the golf course in pamphlets and on social media, at no extra cost to the Commission, and would provide a decal for display.
In addition to supporting veterans, the Commission received an update on the golf course’s new computer system, which is ready to go and has been trained on by the staff. The system, being cloud-based, allows for remote training and is expected to be fully operational within a few weeks, although a request for patience was issued as the staff adapts to the new technology.
The Commission also discussed the golf course’s physical condition, with mention of a pipe repair job scheduled for the next fiscal year and an assessment of the course’s readiness for the upcoming season. The course was not ready to open immediately, with concerns about wet conditions for golf carts and the inability to cut grass due to cold soil temperatures. However, the staff aimed to begin rolling greens soon.
