Matters Arising
None
3. Captain’s report ( BD )
Club Council meetings have been slightly
disjointed and shortened to accommodate the use of Zoom at present. Below I
précis the major items over the last two months.
World Handicap System
Score card with the recent course
changes is to be sent to Wales Golf explaining the changes to 7th and 13th. IE
to provide explanation, JG to provide score card link and DR to issue to Wales
Golf – CE to explain to JG the adjustment to Ladies 7th Tee ( To go back
11yards)
General Business
Attire on the course seems to be
slipping. Multiple sightings of tee shirts and football shorts. This needs to
be raised with JG
Mark Jones (Head Greenkeeper) to be
invited to the face to face meetings as an agenda item
HDID vs Handicap Master Review is to be
placed into the Agenda as a reminder, continued concern is apparent over the
difficulty of its operation for the handicap secretary, and the vagaries of its
reporting.
4. Treasurer’s report ( SM )
Nothing
significant to report.
Since
our last meeting our Fund total has risen by £30 to £1195.63. The £30 all came
from Seniors subscriptions – 3 from existing members ‘catching up’, and 3 from
new members.
5. Secretary’s report (CJ)
Nothing to report.
6. Match Organiser’s report (MW/TP)
Nothing
to report. Need to begin arrangements
for fixing dates for 2021 matches.
7. Medal and Honours Board Competition
Secretary’s report ( DW )
Memorial entries 52
D J Bogey 54
Gemini 48 up to now. 2 players have been declined entry as they
wanted to play earlier outside competition time.
Medals have been attended
well 53 in the August medal.
Trialling 3 balls to try to make play a
little faster.
Putting scores into HDID a problem and
an ongoing problem for club which has been highlighted at Council and hopefully
can and will be remedied.
8. Kitty Competition Organiser’s report (
MH )
As a committee, we have put together a
very comprehensive, detailed plan for re-visiting Kitty Comps. It was endorsed
by the management team who have overseen all safety aspects and many Seniors
have expressed their thanks, including an e-mail to all from Mike Parks.
From the outset, the e-mails were flying
but the system is now in place and Steve Monk has kindly offered to run the
spread sheet for prize money. I take my cap off to Don who has dealt with
(medal and other) competitions for years.
The Comps themselves have run quite
smoothly with seniors turning up at regular intervals and there doesn’t appear
to be any untoward large gatherings in the car park. The Starter sheet is
working, as is the black box at the end. Scores come in - results and rewards
go out via e-mail. Details are passed on to Steve for prizes and Derek for the
Blog.
Bonus Ball – Numbers meant a twin
competition (3’s and 4’s not ideal) Apart from a few starting problems it ran
smoothly.
(9x3) plus (9x2) – Overall this ran very
well. Russ oversaw the Starter sheet. Again we had a split competition because
of numbers (not ideal).
Meeting agenda
9.
Delayed
Nearly St David’s Day Competition arrangements
Normal arrangements would not be
possible because of the restrictions so the committee decided the following :
·
There
would be no Welsh cakes on arrival.
·
No
food would be included in the entry fee because of the sequential tee times and
the fact that some members were uncomfortable with entering the clubhouse, but
Hayley and het team would be available and members would be able to order food for
after their round if they wished.
·
Entry
fee would be set at £5 to include a ball sweep.
·
It
would not be possible to present all the prizes in the traditional way so these
would have to be presented individually when possible. Captain would try to
arrange for Roy and himself to formally present the trophy to the winner.
·
Entries
would be required in advance, and payment taken on the day. DW would advise
everyone via BRS.
·
Scorecards
to be left at Reception after the round.
·
DW
to announce winners via BRS and the blog
·
Committee
members to take appropriate photos on the day for the blog
10. Gemini Trophy – submission of scores
The
HowDidIDo system is unable to cope with a pairs competition where both scores
count so scorecards would need to be deposited at Reception after the round.
Again DW to advise players.
11. AOB
Captain
and Mike Healey would make arrangements for the presentation to the winner of
the Winter League. The traditional
bottle of whisky would also be presented to the winner.
12. Action Points :
|
AP10 |
DW |
Advise members of arrangements for
Nearly St. David’s day via BRS |
Immediate |
Date of next
meeting : 15 September 2020
