MGA Members Meeting - 10 Nov 2015

11/11/2015

 
MGA
General Membership Meeting
Nov 10, 2015

Meeting called to order at 5:00 pm by President Richard Stamm.
 
Minutes for Oct 13, 2015 meeting were approved.
 
Treasurer’s Report
         We now have 106 paid members.
         After an expenditure of $50.00 for Ron Phillips’ memorial donation, we have a
         balance of $2,100.93 .
 
 
News From the Course (Frank Beaty)
         Damage on new Tee areas continues to be an issue.
               o – The number of divots on the par 4s & 5s are excessive.
               o – Any divots that are created on any Tee box should be immediately
                     repaired (use a sand bottle to fill the gouge).
         Damage from reckless cart navigation is occurring.
               o – The 90 degree rule must be followed: Drive down the rough until you reach the
                     point of your ball, turn 90 degrees left or right, proceed to your ball, take your shot,
                     repair any divot taken & return directly to the rough or cart path.
               o – When driving on a paved cart path, keep your cart completely on the
                     pavement – do not allow the wheels to create ruts along the edge of the
                     paved path.
 
         If you notice anyone ‘straying’ from these guidelines, give them a friendly
         reminder or notify someone at the course so that they can take further action.
 
         It was suggested that we create a reminder guide to be present on all carts.
 
 
         The course will be getting new golf carts at the end of December.                              
 
Old Business
         Each proposed Constitution amendment was discussed and then voted on:
               Establish that the MGA is affiliated with the Golf Course
                     Passed 
 
               Establish procedure for midterm President succession
                     Passed
 
               Establish a 3 year term limit (regardless of position(s) held) for MGA officers
                     Rejected
 
               Change vote procedure from 2/3 to majority
                     Passed
 
               Designate that members must have an established handicap in order to
               participate in tournament prize fund.
                     Passed
 
         An addendum that defines the procedure for recognizing the passing of an MGA
         member was proposed and approved.
              
 
New Business
         None.
 
General Discussion
 
         Bill Robinson discussed the new / clarified rules of golf as introduced in the
         2016 – 2019 Rules of Golf book. Most notably rule 14 – 1b which addresses the
         issue of anchoring clubs during a golf stroke. Bill also pointed out rules 18 – 2b,
         14 - 3  &   6 – 6d as having been added or modified.
 
         Please visit the USGA website to view pictures and diagrams that further explain
         ‘club anchoring’ – what is legal and what is not.
 
         MGA members are encouraged to purchase the new rule book.
         If you make an anchored club stroke and your ball hits an immovable object  
         within a hazard marked with yellow stakes and then becomes embedded in a
         burrow hole made by a small animal, you can use the rule book to determine how
         to proceed!
 
         Bill also discussed new / modified hazards on holes #1, #3, #4 & #5
         Some hazards are lateral waste areas, BUT as the hazard nears the green
         it becomes a BUNKER. The rules of what you are allowed to do in a waste area
         versus a bunker are different. Be mindful of the stakes and marking lines as you
         play a hole. If in doubt, ask someone!
 
         ==========
 
         Don Kasper announced the Tri-course winners and distributed the prize money.

         contact Dave King for more info or if you want to play.
 
         ==========
 
         Match Play Tournament is Nov 13, 14 & 15.
 
         ==========
 
         Fort Gordon – Your $45 entry fee gets you golf, cart, range balls, burger banquet
         and entry in to the prize fund.
 
         ==========
 
         The Trifecta Tournament is scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving.
 
         ==========
