Reports

Guest:
Matty Wayne Reyes joined the meeting and distributed a report showing the dramatically increased volunteerism for the various course events year over year. He stated that he is very pleased and impressed with the club’s efforts. He plans to develop a video to document the program and to use in educating and expanding the volunteer pool.

Mr. Reyes also addressed course pace of play. He acknowledged that there are seasonal fluctuations to be expected and that, overall, the club is doing a good job. 

President’s Report:
President Wichelecki stated that an updated Special Use Permit (SUP) with the city has been signed. The language referencing sweeps winnings credited to the Pro Shop has been removed to align with actions initiated by TP Men’s Club. This change is effective immediately.

Treasurer, Gina Menicucci, presented a proposed procedure to transition the sweeps accounts and reimburse members for the current balances. Going forward, the club will take responsibility for sweeps account management.

President Wichelecki addressed the issue of “member only” sign up play dates. She will verify with the Sweeps Director that those play dates are to be Ace Day only in 2025. A motion was MSP to clarify that preferred tee times are available only to those members who participate in the course divot program, rather than all volunteer activities.

Treasurer:
Treasurer, Gina Menicucci provided a spreadsheet of the proposed budget for 2025.

Current bank balance is $47,175.00 with anticipated liabilities of $34,524.00

Events:
Michelle Natalier reported that a few more volunteers are needed for the annual Under Tow event at the end of the month. She will solicit additional members.

VP/Tournament:
Director, Karen Bridges plans to check into what may be blocking leader board visibility on Golf Genius. She will meet with the tournament committee to develop proposed tournament payouts with the added budget and present at the next Board meeting.

Membership:
Director Cindi Velasquez reported a current membership of 306. 

Sweeps:
No Report

Sweeps Result
Director, Soo Lee has an increased budget for 2025 sweeps and will adjust payouts accordingly.

Handicap:
Director, Michi Nakamura stated that all players must post a score for holes played, even if only nine were completed. If a hole is not played, no score is posted for that hole. If a hole is started but not finished, a most likely score or the maximum is posted with an “X” before the number.

Rules:
No Report

Web:
Laura Borja, Web Director, will update the website language to reflect the change in sweeps account management and the latest sweeps balances once verbiage is provided by the President.

SCCWGA Rep:
MC Eastman, Representative, advised of the County events for the next few months. The County website has more details.
