PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
                       Several months ago, outgoing Club president Henry Johnson challenged the Board of Directors to
                       study the Club’s bylaws to consider any appropriate amendments. Like most organizations during
                       the Covid restrictions, the Board could only hold its meetings via Zoom. Unfortunately, our bylaws
                       don’t recognize a Zoom meeting as a legal board meeting and thus no business conducted was
                       considered official. This scenario underscored the need to update/modernize the bylaws.
                       In late fall, the Board appointed Board Member Dick Kauffold to form a Bylaws Committee; which
                       included Bette Carter and Dave Lambert. In April, after several months of work, the committee
                       made several recommendations to the Board of Directors; all of which were approved. These
                       amendments will be submitted to the Equity Members for their review. In July, each Equity
                       Member will receive a package in the mail containing the proposed amendments as well as a
   Kiki Matthews       ballot to vote for or against these proposed amendments. We are asking that every Equity
                       Member vote because a majority of eligible votes are required for passage. Please watch for
                       more detailed information.
The Forward Tee Project that has been talked about for several years is finally underway with construction having
already started. Upon completion, the new tees will need time and warm weather for the grass to get well established.
Hopefully, the Fourth of July will be the first play date and perhaps even earlier.
While the forward tee construction crew is onsite, they will also be working on the Board approved solution to the long
standing drainage problems on #14, which have included soggy areas and sink holes. To eliminate these problems
decades old underground piping will be replaced. Watch for a nice improvement here.
And I hope you have noticed that the long awaited clay court lifting project has been completed. Over 30 tons of new
clay was installed and now the courts are ready for play.
I look forward to seeing each of you playing golf, tennis or pickle ball, swimming or dining out at the Club this summer. I’ll
be there and I hope you will be too!

               Thank you all for participating in our TAIL Trunk show. There was great enthusiasm and we are
               excited to bring TAIL into our Golf Shop. Our opening coffee was extremely successful with a

               made by Sharon Goell. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and 36°F with wind and wet
               wasn’t very enticing for any of our golfers to participate in our Scramble that was planned.
