Committee Reports
Green: The USGA visited our golf course to review its recommended maintenance program. The USGA report overall was very positive. They did list concerns on the condition of our maintenance shed.
The committee discussed the moving of fairway ropes to help reduce golf cart damage to the course. The ropes are currently moved at least twice a week.
At the recommendation of the USGA, the committee is reviewing hole #2 and the Willow trees on #10. The committee would like to have a conceptual design from Architect Damian Pascuzzo and are requesting $2,000.00. Damian will be asked to review hole #2 for fairway bunkering to the left side of the creek. The drainage project on #10 needs to be completed and the willow trees might have to be removed. Damian will be asked to review the area as if the trees were removed and possibly what impact this might have to the golf course. Tauber motioned for expenditures of $2,000.00 for the conceptual design of improvements to hole #2 and a review of a proposed improvement to hole #10. Angen seconded, the motion carried.
New drinking fountains are on order. Delivery is two to three weeks.
