Minutes, Golden Boys Board Meeting,
14 July 2010
- Call to Order: President Cadieu called the meeting to order at 1:58 PM. All Board members were present except Ron Teevan who had contractors working at his home.
- Golden Boys Championship: Rocky Robinson and Conde Sargent were invited to discuss the upcoming championship tournament scheduled for 19 and 21 July. The main issue was the tees to be used. Current Golden Boys rules state that white tees will be used for all tournament play. Since initiation of the black tee option, many Golden Boys have petitioned to use them for the championship. After much discussion, the Board voted to use “black tournament” tees and the committee will place them nearer black than white tee locations. Black tee handicaps will be used by all participants.
- Secretary’s Report: The minutes of the June Board meeting having been reviewed and approved by all Board members, a motion was made, seconded and approved to accept the minutes as written.
- Treasurers Report: The financial report for June had been previously reviewed by board members and was approved.
- Golf Chairman’s Report: Dave Postlewaite reported for Ron Teevan that the Keowee Key interclub was well attended by Golden Boys but only after going deep into the alternate list. Tom Zix expressed concern that Keowee may have been a bit skimpy on prizes. First place was a $23 pro shop certificate and third place $11.50 based on reports from Golden Boys who received these prizes. Tom will address this at the next interclub meeting.
- Social Chairman’s Report: Dave Postlewaite reported that he is still considering a Greenville Drive night but will wait until it is a bit cooler.
- Dine A-Round Chairman’s Report: Curt Irish reported that he had negotiated with High Cotton for the August dine around. One of the menu choices will be prime rib and house wine will be $5. Golden Boys should take care not to use unassigned bar service as wine will be more expensive.
- Old Business:
- The Member-Guest Chairman reported that the committee had agreed to make some significant changes for next year with a view toward greater participation. The standard team entry fee will be reduced from $400 to $350 and sale of one sign will further reduce it to $300. A further entry fee credit of $50 will be given for every multiple of five signs sold. Competition days will be Monday and Tuesday rather than Tuesday and Wednesday. Sign up list will be posted this year as soon as tournament dates are confirmed. Guests without a USGA handicap must turn in at least three scores by 1 May 2011 to qualify to play. Wendell Alderman and Tom Wirth will join the committee replacing Merv Moeller and Conde Sargent who will assist but not serve as official members.
- Jim Cadieu will research purchase of a new bulletin board with view to have it in place in the fall.
- New Business:
- Dave Postlewaite recommended that we use some of the treasury’s surplus funds to purchase a US flag for the large flagpole near the driving range. A motion was made, seconded and approved to authorize no more than $100 to purchase a 6 X 10 foot flag and present it to the club.
- Gene Witherspoon suggested that the Board consider changing the selection criteria for the Herm George Service Award from extraordinary service in the calendar year of award to overall long term service so that we can reach back and honor long time Golden Boys who have provided outstanding support in years past but may not be as active now. A motion was made, seconded and approved to change the selection criteria as suggested.
- Adjournment: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:40 PM.

Bermuda Coming to Creekside's Back Nine
The process is underway to switch to bermuda greens for the final nine holes
of the 36-hole Pebble Creek layout.
The first step, which began July 27, is to spray and kill the current
grasses on Creekside Holes 9-18 greens. In another week or so, bermuda
sprigs will be placed on the reworked greens. It takes four-five weeks for
the new growth to be playable again.
In the meantime, while the burnout process works, play will be allowed on
all holes. Play will cease on the back nine when the deadened grass is
removed, and the club will be a 27-hole operation during the growing period.

REEDY PUNCHES
HIS HOLE-IN-ONE
TICKET
Almost 60 years to the day after Del Reedy first played golf, he made his first hole in one.
No. 17 at Linkside took his tee shot on 5/26 and delivered the ace. (Only bad thing about it: Del isn't in the Ace Club).
Previously in recent days, Don March made hole in one May 5, on No. 17 as well. And Jim Pearson and Frank Mills both scored a hole in one on Wednesday, April 28, on Linkside's Hole #5. They were in separate groups. It was Pearson's first ace. Mills has one previously, "about three generations ago," he said.
