   Ralph, and thank you Barry Luker for all your work over the years!!
   December is most likely date now for park overhaul to begin (was Aug/Sep).
   Clean up and trimming workday needed (won't happen until after CLT Open). 
Reedy Creek: Brian Wilson has signed up as new Course Director. Nice!!
   Mark Beasley, Burro#1, and others working hard to trim brush and get the
     course ready for the CLT Open.
   Signs are being made right now. Things will look sweet for the A-Tier!
Hornet’s Nest: Needs Round-Up big time. Sam is on it.
Sugaw Creek: Needs clean up!  Lots of stuff down after several thunder 
   storms. Work day will wait until after CLT Open.
Renaissance: Tripp and Stan continue hard work out there.
Veterans: Still a CDGC course. Beave is looking at how to maintain with 
   Park & Rec resources. 
   Discussed holding club events there. Not much enthusiasm. 

3) Club Weekly Singles Events:
   They are going very well. Great attendance. Good fundraiser.
   Will move to Saturdays Sept 1st and start at 1pm (NFL football)
   Will cap acepool at $300. They start another one. If a capped acepool
     is hit, winner gets $300. Then new ace pool kicks in at whatever
     level it has reached.

4) Charlotte Open:
   Sanctioning fee has been paid. Paperwork is on the way.
   Steering committee will work to line up CDGC volunteers to help the 
     running of the events.
   Work days will be announced closer to the event to prepare courses.
   Ams will play Reedy. 2 rounds of Stout Saturday and 2 rounds of Original
     on Sunday. They will then head over to the Nest for awards and safari
     Skins.

5) New Business & Misc:
High County DG (Boone, NC) has requested CDGC sponsorship. $350 per hole.
   We want to do this, but are not in a position to fork over the cash just 
   yet. Will table the discussion and revisit after CLT Open (Nov Meeting)
With the closing of Kilborne delayed until December, we will do another 
   closing bash later. Bill's baby.
Ralph will start providing a written meeting agenda to be emailed prior.
Meetings will be held at Ralph & Wendy's place starting next month. BYOB&F.
   Dave to communicate to club. 
Squirrel Lake. Matthews did not get funds allocated, so this project has
   been shelved indefinitely. A good portion of the funds were to have been
   used to build a bridge over a creek so trucks and mowers could get to the 
   back part of the course. We discussed how we can proactively get something
   going there like a temp 9 hole course.
Starting Oct 1, new memberships will be $5 for the remainder of 2005 and $15
   for 2006. $20 gets you a 2004 AND 2005 bagtag (handed out at Ice Bowl).
Re-elections for Club Board of Directors will be as follows:
   Nominations taken in October & November 2005.
   Vote will be at December club meeting.
