April 2022 – Executive Meeting Minutes

Follow-up

Quorum? Yes!

Accept agenda, Alex, second Kodi

-Scott

-They want something from the City saying that the project (tee pad surrounds) will be approved

-They want some sort of recognition on the signage. Have asked the City if this is ok.

-looking at ~$25000

Optimist group phone call (Rob)

-Good conversation!

They have told the City that they are happy to work with us, the City has not put this together, now we have a direct link.

-They have little trouble with our Summer hill hole layouts(they just don’t want anyone climbing the fence). City is now in the loop.

The City has changed some of their personnel around, Brad Babyak is still in charge.  He is looking into tee pad surrounds/approval

Pin placements/basket rotations

-What about the impacted “A” locations? We are looking at a solution, and will need to coordinate how to remediate both positions.

-Perhaps we should leave things in A position until the mud has cleared up at least.

There is a thread on FB about how Diefenbaker is heading to a pro course.  Perhaps the president can monitor and respond if necessary.  It may have resolved itself

-Kris

Monday night is a drop in doubles night, this will rotate courses.  Jacob is running this.

Indoor putting league

-6 weeks left

-We should make sure that all leagues have the same flow (ie SGD email and sign up with DGscene) also run the cash flow through regular channels.

-Alex

Ordered 80 custom discs. 40 for the program and 40 to sell.

-Jacob

Wendy

MOU

-We would have to up our membership by $5.  We would have to eat the $5 for this year, at least for new members. We do have the budget to eat the cost for this year and we could increase dues next year.

-Once you are in with Sask sport as an “emerging sport” then you have access to significant funds, in the meantime we will be basically donating $5 per member. 

-Can we have a way to communicate this expense to our membership?  Perhaps a set blurb.

-They are missing teaching models and any way of training officials. It will take some work to get there. Perhaps they could specify where the $5 goes?

-We need a timeline and some accountability for what the money will go to

They also want us to sponsor a hole at the Sask Open, this isn’t sitting well with the board. Unless they also sponsor a hole at our tournament.  Wendy will take notes back to them
