. SMGA Board Meeting Minutes 03/4/2003 President Joe Robison called the SMGA Board meeting for March to order at 07:30 am. Secretary Andy Baravik asked for approval of the Minutes of the February meeting. A motion was made to accept the minutes as written. The motion was seconded. All present approved the minutes. Vice President Bill Babb reported that the menu for the monthly luncheons is posted on the bulletin board and the website. The automatic charging of fees seems to be working. Treasurer Tony Califra reported that he is paying the pro shop once per month for SMGA events. He determines how many played, and then he adds to the prize money. It was noted that there appears to be an error in that $3.00 was charged to SMGA members for the luncheon meeting. It should have been $5.00. Tony will check and report back. Membership Chairman Ed Betanzos reported we have 508 full members and 89 associate members. This is a gain of 37 since the February meeting. Tournament Chairman Rick Tessitore reported that the new policy of five-day computer sign up is in effect. It is working but as usual there are some who did not get the word. He also reported that due to a shortfall of sign ups for the Couples Golf (16 teams versus a planned 36); there will be a luncheon in March. He reported that 116 men can play on Wednesday and can also be a part of the men’s luncheon. The morning round, a shotgun, will cost the usual $15.00. Rick also reported that the Super Seniors and the Partners Best Ball would be held on March 19 and March 26. Each is a two Wednesday event. On March 26, only the Super Seniors will be involved in the luncheon. Handicap Chairman Carl Williams reported that all is well. He had nothing else to report. Rules Chairman Jerry Smith reported on the 10-play situation. He advised that if someone tees it up but withdraws before completing the round he is crediting them for a play. If a member does not show, he will be charged and will not be given credit for a play. If a member cancels, he will not be charged. He will not be credited with a play. All concurred with Jerry’s line of thinking. It was noted that Jerry should post this policy on the bulleting board. Special Events Chairman John Thomas reported on the Home and Away with Heritage Highlands. The event features two different aspects. First, Each four-man team consisting of two SaddleBrooke golfers and two Heritage golfers will play 2 best balls of the foursome game. This payoff for this event is pro shop credits. This is being done to ensure that the pro shop credits will go to both SaddleBrooke People and Heritage Highland people. The second aspect is that the two SaddleBrooke golfers will select one best ball and play against the one best ball of the Heritage twosome. This event is for the trophy. There are three points. One point is for the winner of the front nine, one point is for the winner of the back nine, and one point is for the winner of the combined nines. Ties will result in each team splitting a point. Future plans are for a May 14 Home and Away with Sun City and one with Mountain View in July. John is still working on plans with Continental Ranch. Web Site Administrator Norm Kyle reports the Web is up and is working fine. He noted that any info we want to put on the Web must be sent electronically. He needs it that way to avoid the burdensome task of retyping information. It was noted that the Catalina computer is experiencing problems. Joe will take up the issue with the Golf Committee. Liaison to AGA and Pima Cup Warren Stevens reported that we could possibly get us back into Pima Cup this year. Joe will send a letter to the Golf Committee to request a date. President Joe Robinson reported that Golf Committee is redoing the Golf Shop and the computer area. Plans are to remove all bulletin boards and place them in the bathrooms. Joe and Bill will work with Carolyn DeSanto and monitor the situation. Mike Harrell’s letter regarding posting the Men’s luncheon menu has already been addressed. Bill has the menus posted on the bulleting board and the Web. They’re being no new business; a motion was made, seconded to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 08:11 am.
