The meeting opened with a discussion about upcoming junior golf clinics, scheduled for August 11th and August 25th. These clinics aim to provide golf instruction for children in grades K-12. The sessions are divided into two age groups: younger kids will attend from 3:00 to 4:30 PM, and older kids from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. Volunteers, particularly high school players, are being sought to assist in the program.

Another topic was the annual fall membership special. The commission plans to roll out this special offer as early as August 26th. This initiative allows new members to join for the rest of the current year and all of the next year, with the aim of replacing members who do not return each year. The commission discussed the benefits of early sign-ups, noting that it could help stabilize membership numbers and assist in planning for the upcoming year.

The commission also addressed some issues from a recent tournament. There were inconsistencies in how the women’s and men’s events were handled, particularly regarding the timing and scorecards. Steps are being taken to ensure that such discrepancies do not occur in future events.

Additionally, the commission reviewed the recent purchase of a new utility vehicle, a critical addition to the fleet needed for maintenance tasks around the course. They are also considering a significant project involving the installation of cart paths, which will require further consultation and input from regular golfers.

The topic of alcohol sales and consumption on the course was revisited. The commission emphasized that no outside alcohol is allowed on the premises and reminded everyone that the golf course’s restaurant relies on patronage to remain viable.

Lastly, financials for the month of July were reviewed, showing total revenues and expenses, with some discrepancies noted due to missing data for the last two weeks of the month. The commission agreed to approve the financial report pending the inclusion of the missing figures.
