Fallbrook Women Golfers General Meeting February 6, 2020
The general meeting was called to order by president Sandi Simpson at 1:30 pm. President’s Report Sandi asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the general meeting dated January 9, 2020 with one correction (the addition of language to include the gift of a red, white and blue patriotic cart seat cover presented to outgoing President Denise McNeese). The motion to approve the minutes as corrected was made by MaryAnn Grubaugh and seconded by Denise McNeese. Motion carried. FWG is scheduled for an 8:30 am shot gun start Thursday mornings. Please be at your designated hole and ready to play at 8:30 a.m. VP/Membership Report – Dolly Harty FWG has developed a new member welcome package to include a clip board, pace of play tips, rules, common golf language and definitions, and a sampled popped card. The new member package will help a new member become acquainted with FWG rules and general golf terms, along with how to properly pop their scorecard. We will be soon gaining two new full-time members: Deborah Lehman and Kate McKenna and Lola Fleck has upgraded her membership to full versus Associate. Welcome!!! Members belonging to multiple golf clubs can log on to the SCGA website and request a refund. If you have paid more than $55 to SCGA you are eligible to apply for a rebate for multiple clubs. “Bring a Friend Day” is scheduled for February 20, 2020. February 6, 2020 is the last day to submit non-members that require prior submittal for gaining base access. There are currently 30 signed up to participate. Lunch will be on a first come, first serve basis after golf. A 50/50 drawing opportunity will be offered to all participants. Immediately following golf there will be a FootJoy trunk show. Shoe purchases will drop shipped to Pro shop, you will pay when you pick up, and no tax will be applied. Guests will be on a base access list and can gain access through the Vandergrift gate (visitors may drive their own car just make sure to be in the right hand lane and have your drivers license ready). SDCWGA is having a field day event at Mt. Woodson Golf Club on February 17, 2020. (Entries have already closed for this event.) The next scheduled event will be held at Carlton Oaks on Monday, March 16, 2020. If you are interested in participating entries must be received by February 21, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Format will be a four person step aside. SDCWGA will be holding a field day event at Marine Memorial on June 15, 2020. Treasurer Report – Gail Hume FWG currently has 54 paid members. Income from memberships, after paying the handicap dues is $2,712. From the $2,712 in income, there are expenses (website, tax filing, SMWGA fees, roster booklets, amounting to $664, leaving $2,048 in budget to be allocated). The Board has agreed to allocate the $2,048 as follows: Sweeps Payouts $1330 Presidents Cup/Club Championship Payouts $ 400 Special Events (R&B, Halloween, Xmas) $ 470 Charitable Donation $ 250 Misc (Trophy, Sunshine, Admin Misc.) $ 330 Total $2780 FWG’s expenses for 2020 exceed the club’s income by $732, however FWG carried over $2,500 in funds from the prior year. A portion on the $2,500 will be used to cover the additional expenses for 2020. In past years the club was required to keep a $2,000 balance as a cushion. The Board voted at the January 30th Board meeting to reduce the cushion to $1,500. Motion to approve the FWG 2020 budget as stated was made by Brenda Batali and seconded by Dolly Harty. Motion carried. Handicap/Ringer – JoLyn Racey Due to the implementation of the new handicap system and the new red/green combo tees, the FWG Board made the decision to cap the index at 40.4 (maximum handicap of 45) for participation in weekly sweeps, tournaments and ringer. (Since this decision was made post January 1, 2020 this new rule will apply to the 2nd ringer for the year.) Weekly Sweeps – Nicole Weiler FWG was extended an invitation to play at San Juan Hills (SJH). The suggested dates are hosting SJH on April 30th at MM and FWG go to SJH on July 30, 2020. More to come once the dates are set for our Home2Home with SJH. Cards from the February 6th partner eclectic will be placed in the club locker and will be used again for the second week scheduled for February 13, 2020. Participants will add the best score of the two person format using both weeks to determine gross and subtract pops to determine net. Major Tournaments – Nicole Weiler The “Club Championship” format has been changed to encourage more of our members to compete. There will be only two rounds (versus three rounds in past years). The first week of the Club Championship is scheduled for March 12, 2020 and the second week for April 9, 2020. Sign-up for the Club Championship will take place two weeks before the first day of play. The tournament will be individual stroke play and the 2020 Club Champion will be Low Gross as in past years. We will also have a Senior Club Champion and a Net Winner for the tournament. Rules – Denise McNeese Everyone is still trying to digest the new rules. If you have any rule related questions please contact Denise. Denise explained the rule regarding “Nearest Point of Relief” if your ball is resting on a cart path. Information can be found in “Golf Rules – Quick Reference” and states as follows: To take relief, determine the nearest point where the ball is not within the abnormal course conditions and where you can take your stance and swing without interference from the abnormal condition. Then drop the ball within 1 club-length (no nearer the hole) without penalty. It is possible that the nearest point of relief will be in a bush, in the rough or on a slope. It may then be advisable to play the ball as it lies. If the ball is within a no play zone or the zone interferes with the player’s stance or a swing, she must always take free relief and she is not permitted to play the ball as it lies. Secretary – Shirley Barnes No Report. Policies and Procedures – Susan Williams A new outline guide for mentors and an updated orientation packet for new members was reviewed and revised to include golf tips, commonly used terms, pace of play, sample scorecard and local rules. Anyone interested in serving as a mentor should contact Susan Williams. Trophy – Mickie St Pierre Tricia Fryar was our newest member to break 90 for the first time and was presented a pin to acknowledge her accomplishment. Congratulations to Tricia! Recognition in the form of a pin, will be presented to any member that breaks a score of 100, 90 or 80 for the first time. If during the course of the year you have a milestone break in your score, i.e., 100, 90 or 80, please notify Mickie St. Pierre of your breakthrough. Santa Margarita – Linda Commons/JoLyn Racey/ Denise McNeese The next SMWGA Field Day is scheduled for next week, February 10th, 2020 at St. Marks in San Marcos.

Susan Williams and Denise McNeese are collecting golf rounds from various local clubs. These rounds of golf with be used as opportunity drawings for R4TR. There will be a silent auction this year. Several members have graciously agreed to donate a wine dinner and a garden lunch and tour. These items will be handled separately outside of the opportunity drawing items. The monies raised from the Silent Auction items will go to a designated charity. The Board is collecting information now on specific charities and will make the decision during the FWG Board meeting on March 19th which charity the funds will go towards.

Rules – Denise McNeese Denise included a quiz in the recent “Tee Topics”. Scenario: In match play, Alyaa’s approach shot comes to rest on an elevated putting green. After arriving at the putting green, Alyaa plays a ball she believes is hers in to the hole. Upon reaching the hole, she finds the original ball in the hole along with the one she just played. What is the ruling?
The correct answer is “D”. Alyaa incurs no penalty. (Remember this was for match play.) Rule books are available for the purchase price of $5.00. Please see Denise is you’d like to purchase a book.
