The meeting was called to order by President Ted Sholl at 1300 hours.
The minutes of the September meeting were approved.
Course Superintendent – A recommendation was made to flag or otherwise mark wet spots so mowers and golf carts would not drive through making them worse. It was noted that not much progress seems to have been made in reducing the number of these places. Also see MWR report.
Treasurer – The treasurer’s report was accepted.
Special Projects – Plaques are up to date following the club championship.
Weekday Play – Desk duty sign up for three months in advance. Two members per day. It had been determined that 4 people were not necessary. In some groups there is only one regular player making it difficult to man the desk. Scheduling as much as a year in advance could not take into account travel and other absences. Sign up sheets will be on the desk each day of play. Changes in handicap ranges of the competitive groups is being evaluated and a final decision will be made after a few weeks of experience.
Tournament – This month’s tournament will not pay for closest to the pin in order to have funds for equitable payout for order of finish. It was agreed that the secretary should change the by-laws to give the tournament committee discretion in determining how many places in order of finish to pay. In lieu of closest to the pin it was suggested that an informal pool be created for those who want to contribute/participate . . . similar to a birdie pool.
Handicap – Class in December to explain new GHIN handicap system beginning January 1. Four members will be attending. Some new features include index updates mid month and your new 7 digit GHIN membership number consisting of your current SCGA number beginning with the number 9.
SCGA Rep – No report.
Senior League – Tied for 4th, could be in playoffs. Did well on home course,not as well on the road. Captains meeting Nov 16. Encouraged members to consider participating next year.
Entertainment – Annual meeting November 16, 5:30, 19th Hole. Will need count of number of people attending. There was agreement not to give a sleeve of balls to each attendee. Steve Myatt will check for another appropriate “souvenir.”

The board approved the expenditure of funds. Rob will check with the Ladies Club to see if there is interest in sharing the cost.
