November 20, 2006 To:        All Directors’

From:     Terry Newman

The Fall Board Meeting of the Charleston Area Men’s Interclub Golf Association was held at Coosaw Creek on Wednesday, November 15, 2006 starting at 10:30 a.m.  All clubs were present except Miler.  The following is a synopsis of the meeting.  Please convey all appropriate information to your players.

• Darrell Verdeck was introduced as the 2007 Director from Stono Ferry.
• The minutes of the spring meeting were reviewed.
• It was noted that a few errors were made in the November monthly report.  Charleston Municipal moved from 83 points to 84 points; Shadowmoss moved from 82½ to 81½ points; and Miler’s correct points are 76½, not 75½.
• Handicap Director, Al Byrd, requested the following so as to help with accuracy of points shown on the scorecards.  A list showing points for each player participating in the day’s event will be held at the Pro shop.  When you make your payment and retrieve your scorecards, it will be your responsibility to make certain the points shown on the scorecard match those reflected on the list.  Notify Al prior to play if you discover any discrepancies.  Al also reminded us to have our rosters e-mailed or called to him by Thursday noon the week prior to a match.
• Treasurer, Dick Gemmett, reported a balance of $3,503.09.  Given that this amount is somewhat higher that normal, several motions were made and approved to disperse some of the funds.  It was approved that we increase our donation to our 2006 charity, My Sisters House, from $1,500 to $2,000.  The Board also approved a fourth cookout for 2007.  Pine Forest and Charleston Municipal offered their services.  To prevent back to back cookouts, Pine Forest was selected for the 2007 season.  The Board also approved an ongoing payment to our Handicap Director of $50/quarter to cover his expenses and labor.

• Due to travel, Tournament Director, Ridge Britton, was absent from the meeting.  League president, Terry Newman, gave his report.  The 2007 schedule was approved as presented with two exceptions.  The Board approved starting time changes for the June (Legend Oaks), and the July (Crowfield) Matches.  They will now start at 9 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.
• Under old business, two items were addressed per the minutes of our spring meeting.  At that meeting, a motion was made and approved banning the use of personal measuring devices.  The board approved the continued ban of such devices.  The minutes of the spring meeting indicated that we will address starting times at the fall meeting.  The previous bullet addresses the results of that item.
• Under new business, we addressed our phone chain for directors and the election of the 2007 officers.  With exception of the office of President/Secretary, the current officers have agreed to serve the Board for 2007.  At last years meeting I informed the board that 2006 would be my last year serving as president.  A search committee, headed by Phi Bees, spoke with several board members throughout the year and found Steve Windich (Coosaw Creek) willing to accept this position.  The Board approved him unanimously.  Your officers for 2007 will then be:

President/Secretary – Steve Windich
Treasurer – Dick Gemmett
Tournament Director – Ridge Britton
Handicap Director – Al Byrd

The phone chain for 2007 is as follows: 

Steve Windich (President/Secretary) will call the following – Al Byrd, Ridge Britton, Dick Gemmett, Mike Yaeger, and Ken Ward. 

Al Byrd (Handicap Director) will in turn call Jim Lamm, Terry Newman, Jack Heidenreich, and Randy McDaniel. 

Ridge Britton (Tournament Director) will call J.C. Gaillard, Phil Bees, Jim Delaney and Darrell Verdeck. 

Under separate cover, the phone chain will be included with all the documents for 2007 that will be given to you at RiverTowne by the tournament director.

Respectfully submitted,

Terry Newman
