JAGA DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES

Cimarrone Golf Club

11/16/2004     

President Don Haws called the meeting to order at 10:30 a.m. with 35 directors and guests in attendance.  This was to be the final meeting of JAGA's 50th anniversary year.  Introductions were made.

Officer's reports:

Treasurer Jerry Kay reported that the bank account balance is $4572.76 with a few bills to be paid.  He also offered a set of mailing labels addressed to our member clubs to any officer or director who needs them.  See Jerry for more information.

Jim Andrews, VP of Administration, reminded the directors that the Pro President event will be held on December 13th.  Bill Black reported that there is only one club entered so far.

Lee Crowe, VP of Tournaments asked for reports on recent and upcoming events.

Jim Andrews reported that the Junior Championship was a large success in spite of being delayed twice due to hurricanes.  When it was finally played at Jacksonville Beach Golf Club there were 58 participants and the overall winner was Mike McMillan.  Jim also said that Al Levene and Ed Tormollen would be co-directors of this event in 2005.

Tom Tierney said that the Mixed Two-Ball scheduled for November 27 & 28 is in trouble as there are only 6 teams entered to date.  If he doesn't get at least 20 teams, the event will be canceled.  Tom said that in his opinion this event needs to be re-evaluated and that it needs a new date on the schedule and a new venue.

Tom Tierney, VP Scholarships asked Dean Blankenship to read a letter of appreciation from one of our scholarship recipients, Kevin Churchill.  Kevin was very thankful for our help toward his education.  The Deercreek MGA gave $400 to the scholarship fund.  The Champions Club's Senior Men's Golf Association donated $200 and the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club's Men's Golf Association gave $5000.
