Golf Committee Minutes - August 17, 2007

Superintendents's report M. Kline� Contractor and men are completing #8. A culvert pipe was added at #8. Maintenance crew has rebuilt the bunker at the practice area, cut perimeter limbs, and will weed wack around the hazard stakes.
� Mike was questioned about the second fairway. He explained the spots are a dollar
disease. There is no money budgeted to control it. This is everywhere, not just the new
holes. A program to spray every 2 weeks at $2200 per time would be needed. 12 times
would be required for the season. This would boost the chemical budget. And a larger
sprayer and fill station would also be needed.
� Members expressed many comments to Mike: size of tee box #8, cut of fairways,
contractor following design desire, white tees on #8, and drainage on #3. Mike explained
why the situations existed. A committee will review the plans for the next Hole to be
reconstructed.

most susceptible to vandalism.
