Minutes of last meeting were approved.

Budget issues: Bill Hurley brought a copy of the budget and was discussed by the board. All seems to be in good shape; discussion re the NCGA qualifiers and the amount of money to send in for each player - $60 per or $120 per player. Bill sent in $120 per player. NCGA sent back a check for $240 overpayment. Delivered to Bill the same day as meeting.

Check cashing issues: A number of members have inadvertently tossed their check winnings believing the Fremont Bank envelope to be trash. Bad mistake. These have to be reissued and can become costly. Some have just not been cashed. Checks must be endorsed within 120 days or they are no longer valid. 

Membership: Discussion to maybe increase membership beyond 150. Everyone felt this was a bad idea at present. We are at 150 and there are two on the waiting list. Revisit maybe in the future.

Rule infractions: Discussion re members possibly bumping the ball or hitting from the environmental areas. Each board member should be prepared to correct an infraction by a fellow member if he sees abuse. No formal policy yet. Will revisit. 

Increasing # of tournaments:  Discussion re scheduling two tournaments during the winter months November thru February instead of the present one. Buck will get together with Doug and see if this is viable. Obviously would not take effect until next Nov. for the increase. Will be revisited at next board meeting.

Internet signups: It was decided after discussion to leave the policy as is - that is signups thru the mail or more commonly at the prior tournament for the upcoming tourneys. 

Slow play: The timed tourneys went well; only one foursome was assessed a penalty. good job.
