Spring 2010 Meeting

Minutes from the Fall 2009 meeting were received and approved
Al Byrd reported that the scorecards from the Miler match were very poorly completed and resulted in a delay in calculating the winning scores. He gave out a sample of the cards. Some common infractions included illegible cards, lack of totals, and incorrect addition. Further comments and recommendations are to be found under new business. Al asked that Directors complete the recommended roster form and email it to him. Any changes to the rosters should simply be sent by email. A new roster form is not necessary.
In Dick Gemmett’s absence, Steve Windich reported that our current balance is $646 which is in line with previous years but is naturally lower due to the re-scheduling of the Charleston Municipal match.
Ken Ward reported that some players continue to break USGA rules including having too many clubs and moving the ball illegally. It is recommended that all Directors advise their players that all USGA rules apply unless specifically modified by the Interclub. Any infractions will be dealt with by applying the appropriate penalty which could include disqualification. Players will be encouraged to report any rules infractions to the Interclub Executive for action.
There was no old business to discuss
A discussion was held to determine the charity for 2010. Jim Delaney made a proposal advocating East Cooper Meals on Wheels and Bill Meredith proposed Palmetto House. After some discussion it was decided that both charities were worthy of our support so it was decided that we would split our funds between the two. It was also decided that at matches where a meal is provided we will ask members to voluntarily contribute funds that will be added to the charity payout each year.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding the problems that we have with shingling the scorecards. It was decided that starting with the Coosaw match in May we will have boxes set up for each team to place their completed the scorecards. It is the responsibility of each Director or his representative to check the cards for completion. This means all addition must be done, cards signed and points results verified before giving the cards to the pro for posting. Once again, we ask that each Director talk to their pro in order to give us a quiet place to do the shingling. Some clubs have not helped at all in this regard. Players should also be advised that winning certificates will only be given directly to the winner or to the Director. All others will be mailed to the Director for distribution.
It was requested that clubs providing meals should also provide tea and water at no charge.
