Steve gave a brief update on the progress of current and future competitions:
5.1 The preliminary, first and second rounds of the singles knockout had been completed on schedule.
5.2 There had been good attendances for the Summer Cup, and the Eclectic Competition was progressing satisfactorily.
5.3 The first round of the Seniors’ Championship (gross and net) had taken place on the 29 June with the second round to follow on the 6 July. It was agreed that the overall result would not be announced immediately after completion of the second round as score cards needed to be carefully checked first.
6. Prizes/trophies
Paul reported that issuing of prizes etc was all up-to-date.
7. Any other business
7.1 Keith reported that prizes for the Captain’s away day had been ordered.
7.2 Keith stated that he intended to raise a couple of issues concerning the tees on the 15th and 18th holes at the next Main Club Committee meeting. These were reducing the height of the rough in front of the 15th tee and improving the safety of the access to the white tee box on the 18th. This action was fully supported by all the Seniors’ Committee members.
7.3 Rob raised the issue of members who entered seniors’ competitions, ‘N/R-ed’ but did not enter their scores on the computer or hand in their score cards. It was agreed that this is not acceptable and that steps need to be agreed to deter repeat offenders. Committee members to give further thought to appropriate informal/formal actions for consideration at the next meeting.
7.4 Brian informed members that nice comments had been received about the flower displays at the 1st tee approach which had been paid for by the seniors’ section. It was agreed that the seniors’ section offer to pay for additional winter foliage bushes around the 1st tee.
