10. Hole-in-One Pool: Capped Award

 - After discussion, J. Cardon made a motion to cap the Hole-in-One Pool award at $1,000.  The motion carried unanimously

 - When the pool reaches $1,000, collection of pool funds will be suspended until a member scores a hole-in-one

 - After the hole-in-one, the pool will start over again at $100 and collection of pool funds will resume

 - R. Gulick will draft a Bylaws amendment to that effect and post it on our Web site and in the Pro Shop

 

11.  Corey Carlson Fund

 - The Board decided that providing funding for the benefit of Corey Carlson was inappropriate; it's not in our mission
