Business
- Budget update - Pam Pound
Pam reviewed where we are at with the budget. We discussed the payout process with Dave. When we set up the budget for 2017, we need to adjust budgeting based on whether the game is an individual, 2-person team, or 4-person team event. Dave has stayed within our budget guidelines and adjusted appropriately for the individual events held so far this year. One day was rained out, saving us $180.
We decided to use the “Lollapalooza” budgeted $150 for “Ace of the Day” prizes.
Dave pointed out that we have collected some “non-member” fees.
- Ace of the Day - June 29th. After much discussion based on feedback, we decided to increase the number of flights and give the event a try. We will play in threesomes. Diane will look into if and how we will offer Bloody Mary shots at the comfort station.
- Executive Course event on July 27th. We have not received much feedback on this event. Dave and his staff will creatively design the course and we will play one best ball of two. 1:00 PM start. Pick your partner.
- Calling All MCC Women Golfers 2 - Tuesday, August 30, 2016
It was decided to hold a second Calling All MCC Women Golfers event, Women’s Social, Trunk Sale with On Course Rules Review. It was also decided to move the trunk show to this date as well and add an on course rules clinic. Becky and Joanie will handle publicity and work with September and Dave on the details. Beth will include this information with the Cart Ready Announcements, June email blast and also send a Save the Date email to the Women’s Day members and all other MCC women golfers. - Ringer event: Now that we have a few more scores Dave will begin posting where we are at to date. See information in the women’s locker room.
NOTE: The Ringer is a season-long game that celebrates each person's best golf performance. Imagine taking that net eagle you score on hole 16 one week and adding it to a net eagle you score on hole 4 the following week! In this game, your best net score on each hole during the ladies league season is added together for one awesome final score at the end of August! We will pay 4 prizes in the game: 1st, 2nd, 20th and 21st. You don't need to play every week to qualify. Just play... And know that all your best holes each season will count... At least all the ones you play on ladies day! Dates: June 1st - August 31st Dave and staff will be taking care of the recording of scores. - Other items: Beth will represent the Women’s Day group on the MCC golf committee for the remainder of this year.
- Women’s Day Open Forum - July 13th
- We reviewed and revised the Women’s Day Committee Guidelines. Pam will make the adjustments and send to the group for review. Beth will include a link to the draft with the email blast. The guidelines will also be sent prior to the meeting with a reminder.
- Agenda is as follows:
- Wednesday golf games and schedule
- June 7th Calling All Women Golfers event

Christa Conner sent us the names of 2 new women who have recently joined MCC. Diane Auler contacted them by phone inviting them to play on Wednesday. Diane also shared other opportunities to play.
Beth will ask the MCC Membership Committee if they might help us develop a short promotional piece about opportunities to play golf for women. This could be distributed to new members.
We have had a few women join us on Wednesday who are not Women’s Day members. - Communication
