Fellas…
The time is getting near. The weather has warmed and the snow is melting…and the anticipation builds for the 2015 KWGA season. However, before we all get out on the course, we need to go over some technical issues so that everything runs smoothly. With that in mind, here are a few of the issues that we all need to be on the same page with…or else we have chaos.
Way back in November of 2014, I posted some “poll questions” to give everyone a voice on several issues. After gathering your responses I was able to move forward with some planning because there were clear majorities on all issues.
2015 MEMBERSHIP DUES ($20 + $7 Weekly Games)– 23 of 24 members who responded were in favour of building a “kitty” for our association. The money will go toward (a) food costs for social events (b) trophies for our Major Champonships (c) Supplies for items such as Championship Banners, T-Shirts, printer ink cartridges etc (d) and the odd gift certificates for closest to the hole weeks. I have already begun work on all of the above and will pull the trigger on purchases once the dues have been collected. Two members have already paid their $20 at The Masters party. You can wait until our first KWGA event in May or give it to me before then if you wish. Whatever is best for you. Once you have paid, your name will appear in the PAID section under the ACCOUNTING tab on the website.
TROPHIES– 18 of 19 members who responded were in favour of buying trophies for our Major Championships. I spent #39.99 +tax on the FEDEX Cup trophy and will look in that price range for our next 3 Major Championship trophies.
ALTERNATE DAYS– 14 of 17 members who responded were in favour of playing on Friday or Sunday if KenWo was booked on Saturday. For that reason, I built in 4 alternate days for the 2015 season.
If you have any questions about any of the following, by all means call me or post a note on the website so that everyone can see.
