- discussion
on survey for Girl’s golf. Question is what format of teams
do we want. Three possible formats, 3 players/2 score, 4 players/2
score, 4 players/3 score. Bob J. will survey school’s with
girl’s golf. One other issue surrounds whether players should
grouped by division or should they be grouped by ability. Decision
by the committee to group players by ability in Spring 2008.
- discussion
on request from Middlebury Country Club to charge $10 per player
for any practice round before the state championship. Motion by
Paul, second by Brian, to allow Middlebury to charge $10 per practice
round before the state championship. Motion approved unanimously.
This needs to be highlighted in the guide.
- correspondence
– at a recent meeting of course Pro’s in Vermont, an
issue with Coaches was brought up. Should coaches be allowed to
play or should they be required to monitor their players? Bob J.
is still trying to set up a meeting for this Fall between the VGA
and the VPA to discuss issues. Behavior of players and pace of play
are other issues to be discussed.
VGA has said
they would conduct rules clinics in the Spring if desired. This
will be strongly encouraged for every school as it may eliminate
many issues we are now facing..
- review of
2007 season. Problem with order of divisions in Boys. It was not
done as listed in the guide. Order will remain D 2, D 3, D 1 for
Spring 2008. We also need to clarify the weather procedures. Girl’s
event was shortened due to rain and lightening. If 9 holes are not
completed, then we will reschedule for another day, but we may have
to use another course. Procedures need to be listed in the guide.
