JACKSONVILLE AREA GOLF ASSOCIATION
DIRECTORS’ MEETING
MARCH 18, 2003
CIMARRONE GOLF CLUB

President Don Haws opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. We had a moment of silence for Homer Nix, who passed away March 14, 2003 . Homer was recognized for all he had done for JAGA over the years. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. Flowers were ordered and sent to the funeral home.

The donation of $500.00 by Hidden Hills to JAGA was omitted from the minutes of the previous meeting. Jerry Kay reported that we have $6,864.68 in the bank and that as of today 10 clubs still have not paid their dues. Jim Andrews reported that our next meeting will be held at Quail Heights and the May meeting will be at Pine Lakes . Lee Crowe reported on the first annual “Bill Black Scholarship Fund Golf Championship” presented by JAGA. This will be held October 4, 2003 . Lee also informed us that we now have new trophies for our Senior Tournament. Sawgrass so far has the most entrants. We have a total of 30 seniors and 23 super-seniors. Bill Black reported that we have 2 entries for the Mid-Amateur so far. Barney Poston said he has 2 entries for the Father’s Day Tournament. Both of these tournaments are a ways off.

Ed Witten said we had 28 scholars in the fall but now there are only 20. Three didn’t make their grades, one is going part time and two dropped out. Seven will graduate this spring.  The following donations were made: Cimarrone - $2,127.80; Sawgrass - $7,425.00 (from all the members); Plantation - $2,330.00; and Orange Park Men’s Association - $365.00.
