WGC Minutes – Committee meeting 3rd October 2009

 

 

Present :           Graeme, Steven, Troy, Greg, Mike, Stan, John

Absent :            Chris

 

  • Troy noted that he may not be able to attend matches us match this next year because of personal commitments but he is happy to continue in role or treasurer
  • Troy will prepare and present a budget of likely income and expenses for the coming 12 months to be presented at the next committee meeting
  • Frog announced first week of summer competition will be Saturday 10th October at Glen Iris. He will organise other fixtures up to Christmas as soon as possible to be able to put on the website
  • Steven noted that 7am is a very early start given is not that hot yet, maybe an 8am/9am start may be better to allow more people to play until weather gets warmer
  • Membership fees to stay same as last year as per AGM. Fees due now for all players to be eligible for prizes
  • Steven to give Graham the left over vouchers, balls etc to be used as much as possible for summer competition prizes
  • Steven to contact Denis to see if he wants to sponsor the stubby holders again
  • Greg suggested that the new handicap system that official Australian golf clubs have to adopt by February 1st 2010 will create extra work to record scores (basically is a world wide change that means handicaps will be influenced by a players last 20 rounds of golf). Given we do try and follow golf rules as much as possible,  all committee members to have a look at the new handicapping system, and we to decide shortly whether to go with the new Australian system.
  • Steven brought up the thought that members be asked whether “Willetton Golf Club” has outdated itself as a name given we don’t have cricket players at that club, we moved many years ago from that area etc. Maybe we can come up with a fun golfing name for the club that members can choose between. For further discussion ..
  • Greg suggested was time for us to look at new club shirts, nothing resolved yet.
  • Was decided that meetings be held once a month prior to golf rounds (whether it be a summer competition game or one of the alternate weeks for Marri Park veterans)
  • Mike (Hodgey) requested that when members are paying their ball fees each week, that they do so “one at a time” to make it a little easier for the person who has given up their time to record all payments. Good idea !!
  • Next meeting 14th November 2009, 10am Marri Park
