Nominations and
Vote for the 2009 Tempe Men’s Club Board.

The board
members for 2009 Tempe Men’s Club season are as follows:  President – Bill Gorman, Vice
President – Greg Salz, Treasurer – Wendell Rote, Secretary –
Mike Kamolz.  The Members in
attendance motioned to keep all board members as is for the 2009 season.  The Board was asked if they would like
to continue on again for the next coming year.  All board members motioned that they
will accept the responsibility if no one wants to step up for any of the
positions.  Members second the
motion. Motion pasted the keep the existing board for the year of 2009.  Members in attendance agreed that the current
board was doing a good job.

2.
TMC Holiday Party.

The
Holiday Party will be on December 13, 2008.  The Date will be posted on the
website.  Tentatively, the Holiday
Party for 2008 will follow the same format as the Holiday Party 2008, buffet
style with two drink tickets per member.

3.      Club Championship and the number of events
played in Season 2009.

With the Club Championship being moved to December, the Board
would like to increase the amount of events played to qualify for certain
tournaments.  Starting in 2009, a
TMC member will need to play in at least 2 events prior to the President’s
Cup, and 4 events (to not include the President’s Cup ) leading up to the
Club Championship, 6 events total.
New Members joining after the President’s Cup will have to play 6 events
total to qualify for the Club Championship.

4.
Pairings and the
Social Aspect plus more Team Events.

One member was wondering how the pairings were
configured.  This individual would
like to be paired with more members of the club and see more team event brought
back into the schedule.  The President
explained that some members like to play together and others don’t mind
who they play with in tournaments.  Random
pairings need to be in effect for the social aspect also. The Board made note and
will see what they can do for the future.

5.
Team Championship.

The Team Championship was determined to be a success.  3 Teams did go on to play in the
Qualifier at Lone Tree in November.
The Board will keep this tournament in place for 2009.

6.
Pace of Play.

Discussion about pace of play, the board mentioned that we
have just about looked at everything possible to speed up play (without
spending TMC monies).  Conclusion,
that TMC in general are slow, public play before the events are slow, and not
much could be done besides getting the 1st tee times of the day or
monitoring our own pace of play with board or club members.

7.
Brand New Carts.

Getting Carts shouldn’t be an issue anymore with the New shipment of Carts that Ken McDonald just received.

8.
Bring in New
Members.

An Idea of bringing in new members was to maybe have members
fill in spots of the next tournament with their guest.  The Board would talk with the Tournament
Chairman to see if that would be possible.

Treasurer’s
Report

No Treasury Report due to Treasurer not in attendance.

Meeting adjourned 6:45pm.
