Reports:
Treasurer: The Treasurer presented the 2018 financial report as of September 18, 2018. Motion to accept the report by Mike Dyekman; seconded by Charles Service. Motion carried. In addition to funds held by the Treasurer, the Senior Men’s Club Chairman has $110 in “Hole in One” insurance.
Tournament Chairman: Men’s Club play on Wednesdays will move to a first tee time of 8:00 a.m. effective October 1, 2018.
Handicap Chairman: The club currently has 43 members signed up with SCGA. 18 of those members do not participate in Men’s Club or Senior Men’s Club matches. We expect many of those members to leave the club at the end of the year.
Greens Chairman: Discussion regarding whether the club is seeing an improvement in the greens. General consensus of the members is the course is not showing signs of improvement. Maintenance is falling behind.
Travel Team Chairman: The travel team is currently in third place and expects to make the playoffs.
Senior Chairman: Play continues on Monday mornings with 11 to 17 players.
Special Events and Social Chairman: No report.
Rules Chairman: The New USGA rules are available from SCGA. Members wishing a copy of the new USGA Rules may order them from SCGA at a nominal cost. MOTION by Ken Smith, second by Bob Schulken to do away with age restrictions for the use of “red tees”. The only restriction shall be the players handicap index, which must be greater than 14. Motion was amended by Mike Dyekman with consent of the “maker” to read the handicap index must be 20 or greater. Motion carried and is effective immediately.
New Business:
The President led a discussion regarding “what type of club” do we envision for next year. A concern was expressed regarding the number of members (20 to 30) we may have. Charles Service agreed check with SCGA regarding any minimum requirements to “qualify” as a “club” registered with SCGA or if there are different types of “clubs”. Tom Class agreed to send an e-mail to the club membership regarding the club status and need for Board Members for next year.
There being no other business, Jim Santospirito moved to adjourn the meeting, second by Bob Schulken. Motion carried.
There were several informal discussions among club members and Board members after the meeting. The majority of the concern was related to the condition of the course and Board members for 2019.
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Dyekman

The meeting was called to order by President Tom Class at 12:44 p.m. Members present were President Tom Class, Vice President and Tournament Chairman Bryan Cope, Secretary Mike Dyekman, Treasurer Will Nelson, Travel Team Captain Larry Thompson, Greens Chairman Jim Santospirito, Senior Men’s Club Director Bob Schulken and Rules Chairman Ken Smith. Additional club members present were Dave Yaple, Bill Wicovitch, Phil Young and Kel Scott.
Reports:
Treasurer: The Treasurer presented the 2018 financial report as of July 17, 2018. Motion to accept the report by Jim Santospirito; seconded by Bob Schulken. Motion carried.
Tournament Chairman: The poor condition of the course is affecting play. There was a general discussion of several options to adopt to improve scoring, i.e. using winter rules or adopting a local rule. Motion by Ken Smith, seconded by Santospirito to play the ball within the “rules of golf”. Motion carried. Motion by Ken Smith, second by Larry Thompson that the first group to tee off each Wednesday take cans of spray paint and mark Ground Under Repair. The club will pay for the paint. Motion carried.
Handicap Chairman: No Report. Handicap sheets will be delivered by Mrs. Service as handicaps are revised.
Greens Chairman: The greens are not looking good. Maintenance is falling behind.
Travel Team Chairman: The travel team is currently in second place, 2 points behind Pala Mesa.
Senior Chairman: Play continues on Monday mornings with 11 to 17 players.
Special Events and Social Chairman: No report.
Rules Chairman: The chairman addressed the Board regarding Abnormal Ground Condition (Rule 25-1). This is a response to concerns received about the condition of the course. Specifically, the 17th green has an area on it that is marked as GUR. If this area interferes with a player’s stance or area of intended swing or if the ball is in or touching the area, relief may be taken. The player must lift and drop the ball within one club length of the nearest point of relief which is no nearer the hole and not on the green.
Regarding fallen trees:
A fallen tree which is in the process of removal is defined as GUR even if not so marked because it fits with in the definition of GUR (material piled for removal). If the tree is still attached to its stump or roots, and/or not marked as GUR nor in the process of removal, free relief is not allowed. Free relief for tree stumps is not provided unless they are marked as GUR or are in the process of removal.
A player is granted free relief from animal holes, mounds or trenches whether of not it is marked. Relief is one club length of the nearest point of relief which is no nearer the hole.
New Business:
A concern was expressed regarding tee sheets, especially on Wednesdays. They appear to be constantly changing with several people making the changes. Some of this due to people signing up other people and by others just not showing up. The board would like to follow the lead of the Seniors. It is imperative that anyone who wishes to play, but is not on the tee sheet, notify the Tournament Chairman prior to Wednesday morning. Conversely anyone who is on the tee sheet, but cannot play, is also to notify the tournament chairman. The only person authorized to change a tee sheet on Monday or Wednesday morning is the Senior or Tournament chairman. This can be done via text message or e-mail.
There was also a brief discussion about being better “stewards” of the course. We should do our best not to deteriorate the condition of the course. Antonio also provided some insight into the challenges of course maintenance. The high cost of water being one issue and procurement of parts and chemicals also being a contributor. The next priorities on the course are repair and/or replacement of the restrooms.
There being no other business, Jim Santospirito moved to adjourn the meeting, second by Bryan Cope. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Dyekman

Reports:
Treasurer: The Treasurer presented the 2018 financial report as of February 28, 2018. Motion to accept the report by Charles Service; seconded by Larry Thompson. Motion carried.
Tournament Chairman: The Chairman requested suggestions for “games” to be used for the Wednesday play.
Handicap Chairman: The computer used for entering scores in the “club room” has been stolen. Jim Santospirito has donated another computer. Charles Service and Jim will set up the computer in the “club room” in the near future. Any members who have no means of posting their scores can give them to the Handicap Chairman and he will post them.
Greens Chairman: The green on #2 has been seeded with bent grass. The greens on #3, #7 and #12 are being repaired by taking grass from the back of the green to fill in. The green at #14 is being repaired by taking grass from the back of #17. The green specialist was used for the putting green and #2 green. The firm has not been retained to repair any additional greens.
Travel Team Chairman: The travel team is off to a good start with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.
Senior Chairman: Not present, no report.
Special Events Chairman: The club currently has 42 members of which only approximately 30 are “playing members”. The next special event for the Men’s Club will be a luncheon following the Club Championship in May. The Senior Men’s Club will have a luncheon the 3rd Monday in April.
Rules Chairman: The chairman has confirmed with SCGA that the club can adopt a rule regarding who can play from the red tees. Motion by Bryan Cope, second by Mike Dyekman to confirm the rule established in December that members can only play from the red tees at Men’s Club events if they are 80 years of age or older and their handicap index exceeds 20.
The Chairman also provided a clarification of the “local rule” on holes #3 and #14. If the players shot goes into the “lateral hazard”, they must play their next shot from the drop zone, i.e. the player may not hit out of the hazard. Additionally, clarification was provided for the “local rule” on #6 and #7. It is up to the player to determine what stance to take to play the ball. If the decision is to hit the ball left-handed and this requires standing on the cart path, the player is granted relief from the cart path. If the player decides to hit the ball right-handed, there is not relief.
The use of winter rules will not longer be in effect April 4 or thereafter. The first tee time beginning April 4 will be 7:30 a.m.
The new SCGA rules have been finalized and go into effect January 1, 2019. A summary of the new rules can be found on the SCGA website.
New Business: None
There being no other business, Will Nelson moved to adjourn the meeting, second by Larry Thompson. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Dyekman

NOTICE – NEW LOCAL RULE IN EFFECT OCTOBER 9, 2017
The BOD has approved a new local rule establishing a DROPPING ZONE on hole #3. Under the new rule all Men’s Club members and guests MUST use the dropping zone for any ball hit into the water hazard fronting the tee. No other options for relief under USGA Rule 26-1 will be allowed. Failure to observe and follow the new rule will result in a two stroke penalty. Here is the wording for the new rule:
“If a ball is in or it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in the water hazard fronting the tee on hole #3, the player MUST, drop a ball, under penalty of one stroke, in the dropping zone. Play of a ball in any other manner will result in an additional two stroke penalty.”
This newly approved local rule will go into effect on Monday October 9th. The dropping zone will be clearly marked with white lines and/or a sign, and will be located near the exit from the bridge. Any ball subsequently played from the dropping zone back into the lateral water hazard, will continue to be played under USGA rule 26-1.

Minutes of Castle Creek Men’s Club Board of Directors Meeting
The meeting was called to order by President Tom Class at 1155. Members present were President Tom Class, Vice President and Tournament Chairman Greg Pallastrini, Secretary Duke Dukleth, Treasurer Will Nelson, Rules Chairman Ken Smith, Travel Team Captain Larry Thompson, SCGA Representative and Handicap Chairman Charles Service, Greens Chairman Jim Santospirito, Events Chairman and Dave Webster.
-
Tournament Chairman Greg Pallastrini gave a negative report.
-
Greens Chairman Jim Santospirito reported the greens are starting to get rougher and need more attention.
-
Travel Team Captain Larry Thompson reported that the Travel Team is three points out of third place overall in this year’s standings.
-
Special Events Chairman Dave Webster gave a negative report.
-
The Financial Report (attachment 1) was presented by Treasurer Will Nelson. Treasurer Will Nelson introduced the idea of an increase in annual dues. Members will pay their SCGA Membership dues directly to the SCGA this coming year and into the future. The question is how this will affect our membership since we have some members that are inactive for the most part. Question and issue was tabled until our next meeting in September when we have a clearer idea of how SCGA will handle our membership and to inform members of an impending increase in our Castle Creek Men’s Club Annual dues. A motion was made, seconded and carried to accept the Financial Report.
-
Tournament Chairman Greg Pallastrini stated he will commence signups the week of July 12th for our Annual Match Play Tournament. $20 will be the fee.
-
Rules Chair Ken Smith gave a negative report.
-
Larry Thompson introduced the way some other clubs are handling poor conditions in bunkers. Players when landing in a bunker are allowed to pick up their ball, rake the area where his ball came to rest to smooth out the bunker surface, remove rocks, and then replace the ball. This is to allow a playable surface out of which to hit. A motion was made and seconded to adopt a similar rule for Castle Creek Men’s Club. The motion did not pass.
-
Larry Thompson made a motion establish a drop zone on Hole #14 for a uniform place at the Green Tee area to be used as a drop zone for those who hit into the hazard running diagonally across the fairway along the creek bed. Ken Smith provided the wording for the rule as follows:
The USGA recommends that a local rule establishing a Dropping Zone be an additional option to Rule 26-1 Water Hazards, but they allow for a local committee to adopt a local rule that REQUIRES the dropping zone be used in all circumstances.
I think since the relief provisions under 26-1 are already multiple and adding one more option would just be more confusing, we should probably adopt the following recommended wording for our local rule:
"If a ball is in or it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in the diagonal water hazard along the creek bed on hole #14, the player MUST, drop a ball, under penalty of one stroke, in the dropping zone."
If a player drops his ball under this local rule (using the dropping zone) and then hits his third shot in the lateral water hazard again, he would then follow rule 26-1 for that subsequent shot.
If there are no objections, I will put a notice and sample on our bulletin board, the desk, the entry door and inform our members of the new local rule and the date it will become operative.
Note that the wording of the proposed new local rule requires the player to take a drop in the dropping zone - he MUST follow that procedure or be assessed an additional two stroke penalty.
The motion carried.
-
Handicap Chairman Charles Service brought up problems with the way members post their scores. After a discussion a motion was made and seconded to require all members to post all rounds immediately upon completion of the round on the computer in the Men’s Club Room and not post from home or their Smart Phones. The motion passed. A second motion was made by Handicap Chairman Charles Service to allow him to post penalty scores in accordance with the USGA Handicap System Handbook. The motion passed and is effective as of this date. .
-
President Tom Class stated that all changes or additions to our local rules or bylaws will be included in the next edition of our Castle Creek Men’s Club Handbook.
-
A motion was made and seconded to allow women to play in Men’s Club events. Due to the complexity of different handicap rules for men and women and the idea that our Women do not contribute to the treasury where some prize money is derived we will allow women to compete for “Closest to the Pin” money only. The motion carried.
-
A motion was made, seconded and carried to adjourn.
