JACKSONVILLE AREA GOLF ASSOCIATION

DIRECTORS MEETING

MAY 20 15, 2003

PINE LAKES GOLF CLUB

President Don Haws opened the meeting at 9:58 a.m. There were 38 directors and 1 guest in attendance. Jerry Kay was unable to attend. Carl Arnold reported on member clubs. Marsh Landing said they never received a bill, so another one will be sent. No other clubs have joined at this time. Jim Andrews , Vice President Administrations, said that our next meeting will be at Magnolia Point, July meeting will be at San Jose and August meeting at Ponte Vedra. There was discussion about sending a letter to all the General Managers and Head Pros of the member clubs from President Haws inviting them to our August meeting. This was approved by a voice vote. Each director was asked to acquire the e-mail address of their club if they have one and get it to Barney Poston . Lee Crowe, Vice President Tournaments, reported our Mid-Am Tournament had a total of 39 players in the gross division and 2 in the net division. A total of $344.00 was raised for our scholarship fund. More directors need to participate in the running of our tournaments. Barney Poston reported that our Father’s Day Tournament at Ponte Vedra Country Club on June 7 and June 8 has 46 entries, 6 hole sponsors and will have a variety of proximity and door prizes. Tom Tierney , Scholarships, reported that there will be a meeting of the selection committee soon to fill our vacant scholarships for next fall.  

There was no old business. New business is as follows: Barney Poston requested permission to put JAGA on our web site. After discussion this was approved by a voice vote. Also our current web site has been free, but that might change in the near future, so Barney requested permission to begin looking for a new site. This was also approved.  

Following are the committee reports:

Ways & Means: Much discussion about allowing non-member players to participate in our tournaments, and it was reaffirmed that they should not in the future. Also discussed the possibility of using name tags at our meetings.

Rules & Handicap: Discussion of our playing by the rules of golf instead of our current format.

Junior Golf: Again, all people seem to want from us at this time is money.

Tournaments: Mid-Am will now be a gross (scratch) score tournament only. We have not had many people interested in playing in the handicap division for a while.

Scholarship: We will invite the scholarship recipients to our July meeting instead of the June meeting.

 Meeting adjourned at 11:32 a.m.

Cordially,

Mike Cooper
