1
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:16,000
It's fine.

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:27,040
We're now

3
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,560
kill

4
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:48,320
box.

5
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,640
Hello. Hello. How are you?

6
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:04,560
comments.

7
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Thank you, sir.

8
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,600
Stay out there a little bit. It's fixing to dump.

9
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:35,120
I think we got plenty the other day. Yeah, 
I think we did. Texas closed I guess right

10
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,880
okay I guess we'll call the meeting to 
order [clears throat] first thing on the  

11
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:53,440
agenda announcements any announcements no the only 
thing I'd really is our junior golf program summer  

12
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,240
programs are full force right now. We're in the 
this week was our third week of the junior golf  

13
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,640
foundation on Monday and Tuesday um days um full 
if you've been to any of the courses during that  

14
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,720
time. There's 8,000 kids. It's awesome. Um first 
increased their programming so they got more kids.  

15
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:19,440
We're doing um we did the hook kid snag classes 
are going the um uh summer of discovery where we  

16
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,560
bring different kids from our rec centers that 
they come and visit of course [clears throat] um  

17
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,480
so we've got those going at text today we had 
a few at uh math last week so uh junior golf  

18
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,600
is definitely very strong in full force right 
now we're looking to probably have about 1,800  

19
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:42,400
kids come through our program a different various 
programs so that's Good. That's fun. Fun. That's  

20
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:53,520
good. Uh, next thing we have is public comments. 
Oh, yeah. Okay. Got several several questions  

21
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:59,200
here. Would you mind just so the microphones 
pick you up? Maybe you can set here if you  

22
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:08,240
want. Yeah. Just I want to make sure you you're 
clear on the recording. Thank you. Excuse me.

23
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,960
[clears throat]  

24
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:24,240
You like to state your name? Was Mark Adams? I'm 
a member of a Dirty Dozen golf group. Forgotten,  

25
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:31,120
I guess. Um, Jesse answered my first two 
questions today. Um, I was at text the  

26
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,120
other day talking with Steve and he showed me 
on his computer how when one selects a tea time,  

27
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,680
there's a little box, you can X to get the 
second T time reserved for you. Of course,  

28
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,360
I saw it and he showed me how it worked 
on the computer, but I've got an Apple  

29
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,920
and a Windows side by side and I can't get 
it to work on mine. And speaking of that,  

30
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:59,120
the program does not work on the Windows at all, 
as I'm sure you all know. Uh, golf witch program  

31
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,000
won't even download on a Windows program. So, if 
you've got a Windows at home and not an Apple,  

32
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,680
you can't get into the program. Got Windows 
here. We got something in some something's  

33
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,040
wrong there. I've got nothing. I've got five 
guys that can't download work on computer. What  

34
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:25,120
do you It's there's nothing to download. You 
just apply other than the app somewhere. Well,  

35
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,360
the app is for a phone. The app is designed 
strictly for a phone. Either Android or  

36
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,680
iPhone. Okay. What do you have for the for the 
computers? Now, we just go to the website. It's  

37
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,840
a website. So there's no there's nothing to 
download. You just go to golfwitchto.com.  

38
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,760
Okay. [clears throat] I'll pass that on to my 
guys. I've got it on my phone and I've got it  

39
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:52,400
on my iPad. No problem. Yeah. Any any device will 
work, but it's not meant for a desktop or laptop.

40
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Answer some of those questions.

41
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,160
Exactly what groups are allowed multiple key times 
at each golf course. I know there's a men's club  

42
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,200
at each course that's allowed and a women's club 
is allowed. What else is allowed? There's each  

43
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,120
club if they have the participation, it has one 
men's club, one ladies club, one couple's league,  

44
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:20,800
and one senior league. So those those clubs are 
allowed two days at their designated course,  

45
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,560
not a rotation. So if Auburn has men's club, 
they their days are at Auburn Hills. assume  

46
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:34,160
men's leave. Their days are at 7, but they're 
designated. They're open to they're they are  

47
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,840
the designated leads, not groups leads for those 
courses and they are anyone can sign up. That's  

48
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,640
the the kind of the policy with that. Anyone 
can sign up for those. We have a contact on the  

49
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,600
website for those leagues where they can sign up. 
So, um it's not just a group that play together.  

50
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:57,840
It's actual organized leagues that the course has 
designated as official leagues. the groups the the  

51
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:06,240
groups that can book multiple tea times go through 
your the you got to register right I think that's  

52
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,400
what he's the leagues are established for the for 
the year the groups you got to go through so yeah  

53
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,880
so the leagues they can book in advance we we'll 
set the calendar out for the whole year because we  

54
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,800
have league days the groups are have the ability 
to book multiple tubs uh which is what you guys  

55
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,360
will qualify qualify as So you can I mean I've 
got a ton of groups that do it. So we need to  

56
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,480
sit down and figure out what the issue is there. 
I've got a lot of groups that do it without issue.  

57
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,720
So I mean I've been working with you for what it's 
almost two years now and u and now with the once  

58
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,680
the new program came online we can't get squat. 
So I'll get with you on that. Yeah. I don't know  

59
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,800
what the you saying you can't do it. What's the 
reason you can't do it? That'd be nice to know.  

60
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,680
No I'm asking what is it? What happens? there's 
not a place to do it or you can't you can't find  

61
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,480
tea times or there's something a tea time here and 
a tea time there. We can't get tea times together  

62
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,240
and we're really consistent. We play Monday, 
Wednesday, Friday have been for over 20 years. So,  

63
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,120
I know we've talked, but let me back up just for 
a second and tell you where this came from is the  

64
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,720
massive amount of complaints we had from so many 
people saying that there are groups that get tea  

65
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:25,200
times in advance all year. I understand and we 
have individuals that can never find a ton and  

66
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,800
you pay the same amount for the same membership. 
So what we're doing is making sure it's everyone  

67
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,560
is is equal and you have the same the same access 
to those tons. you go through the same process,  

68
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,240
but you would have the ability to book 
multiple team times when available,  

69
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:51,120
which when you play it's I mean we play Monday, 
winter, Friday, we try to get around 9 between 9,

70
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,960
the early days. Well, it's odd to me that you 
can't find tea times back to back at that time  

71
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,880
during the week. I can go online. We have to 
get up at 5 in the morning 4:58 in the morning.  

72
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,480
So 5:00 we can get it. And by the time we hit the 
first one and and Steve was trying to show me the  

73
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,160
other day, there's a little box, but I can't find 
it on mine. But uh by the time you hit the first  

74
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,520
one, they're gone. The rest of them are gone. And 
you can't get to back to back. Sometimes I'll get  

75
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,120
one with a tea time in between, I don't have a 
problem with that. We get to the golf course, we  

76
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,520
get to the guys in between us and say, "Hey, you 
want to go you want to go early? That way you can  

77
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,520
get us back together." that works even even two 
tea times separate will work for us but sometimes  

78
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,640
I get the one tea time and they're nothing that 
thing fills up so fast it's ridiculous and and  

79
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:49,520
that's good for you not for us we need to maybe 
what do you have a laptop what do you use to book  

80
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,160
times what kind of demotion kind of on my iPad so 
if you could bring your iPad and let's sit down  

81
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,200
and look because there there's something you're 
not seeing it Are you set up as a group? Your guys  

82
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:10,960
group? We were, but because I had two, we had um 
Dirty Dozen and my one my email address and hasn't  

83
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:19,920
been for 30 years is golfing the fool at Cox.net. 
For a while, we had no problem getting on as  

84
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,560
um the dirty dozen. But for some reason, and 
and you know, Jesse explained it to me a little  

85
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:31,680
bit earlier that maybe with this new program 
because we have the same you can't use the same  

86
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:36,480
email for two different accounts. We can only 
So we don't have 8,000 duplicate accounts like  

87
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,840
we had 52,000 accounts and only 17,000 were 
legit. Yeah. And I understand that. I just  

88
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:48,080
I wasn't aware of that. I understand that prop. 
So now and most of you may know if you had Cox,  

89
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,080
it's now Yahoo. and I'll just get a yellow email 
and see if that works or not. So, right now he  

90
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,840
can put them in his name. That's how it set up. 
So, you have you can you can book them. It would  

91
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:06,080
just be your name. But if you want a group account 
so that the same one, they can log in and do that.  

92
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,120
We can we can set that up. Right now, we've got 
three of us that get up and I get up on Mondays,  

93
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Russell on Wednesdays, and Daryl on the Fridays to 
get the tea times. But when we can't, our backup  

94
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,840
is always Cheney or Sand Creek. Like Monday, I'm 
playing at Cheney because we're playing at Cheney  

95
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:30,480
because all the courses are shut down in the 
morning for something next Monday. The groups,  

96
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:39,680
don't they identify one person as the the the tea 
time getter? Yeah. So So having three guys trying  

97
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,000
to get off of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that 
could be Could that be part of the problem? No,  

98
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,720
use different names. So he's Monday on Monday. And 
I understand, but your group is supposed to only  

99
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,360
have one person who can get multiple tea times. 
We don't have a group now, dear. They knocked us  

100
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,120
out. We We have not talked you out. No, we've not 
because the email is not your fault. It's because  

101
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,760
the email would no longer happen. No, your group 
is there. You're saying he's saying the account  

102
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,600
of called Dirty Dozen instead of his name is not 
there. Yeah. So we we signed in under, you know,  

103
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:16,960
my name on Mondays, a different name on Wednesdays 
and a different name on Fridays. I'm old. Yeah,  

104
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:25,200
this get over 458 in one and hoping to get a 
tea time, but that's not not to say it wrong,  

105
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:32,000
but that's the same issue that everybody's got it. 
Hundreds of people complained about last year and  

106
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,080
now a lot of the groups are having to do that 
and they are understanding, but also obviously  

107
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:52,400
obviously no one likes it. No one likes So yeah, 
I I was with one of the pros um last week and

108
00:11:52,400 --> 00:12:00,720
this he was trying to find out what tea times I 
had for that week. And then we look in there and  

109
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:07,040
we see one group on Saturday has got nine tea 
times. Now, with the exception of tournaments,  

110
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,440
what's the justification of one group having 
one group having nine tea types? It's probably  

111
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,360
a league. Who where we at? Oh, this was at 
Arvin Hills on Saturday morning. That's the  

112
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,240
men's league. That's not They don't play during 
the week. We play Wednesday and Saturday. Every  

113
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:31,840
other Saturday, not every Saturday. 19 times 
on Wednesdays and 19 times on Saturdays.

114
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440
But that is a league. That's not a 
group. that's uh open to anyone can  

115
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,920
join. It's what we were talking about. 
It's the designated league for Auburn.

116
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Saturday morning, I mean, we went back and 
forth on that. Um we we did it every other  

117
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Saturday instead of every Saturday at this 
time. Well, I I [clears throat] I appreciate  

118
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,760
that. But [snorts] the reason we don't play on 
Saturday is because we let the we leave the tea  

119
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:01,840
times to the people who have to work all week. 
They got a league on on sat on Saturday morning  

120
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,000
taking nine tea times. I would hope that most 
of those people have jobs during the week and  

121
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:15,200
that's the only time they can back. But that 
that seemed awful curious. Nine tea times on  

122
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,920
Wednesday morning the senior league here has 
probably more than that. Senior league here  

123
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:28,880
is 110 people. Yeah. It's you know again that's 
different than a group. that's a an actual link  

124
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:35,040
that run by the course and they can sign up 
and it's open to anybody. So it's that's the  

125
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:43,840
the difference there. One thing I've noticed and 
this is just beside anything else. You know when I  

126
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,520
see a group of guys out there playing they're all 
over that dog golf course but you get ladies out  

127
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:55,920
there playing they're rather organized but none 
of this all over. No it's just golf that's why.  

128
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:05,280
Mhm. That's every aspect of life in my opinion. 
That's not just golf. No, you're right. Um,

129
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:11,680
you're right. 55,000 rounds a year on 
a public golf course. So, I understand  

130
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:17,200
what you're saying. This morning, 5:00 to 
make a te time for next Tuesday. I got in,  

131
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,680
first one I could get was 750. I went back 
to get another one. The next one I could get  

132
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,680
was 950. Yeah. It was like like that. They're 
gone. They just go so fast. I I mean I don't  

133
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,400
know there's a perfect answer for it. I'm 
just But I I I feel what you're saying and  

134
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,000
I I totally understand it to me. The only It's 
not perfect. The only answer is make sure it's  

135
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,280
the same for every person. Yeah. That's the 
only I mean yeah which is what for everybody  

136
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:50,960
that's we've lost four golf club four golf 
courses in the last decade I guess it is  

137
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:57,920
now. [clears throat] And uh that's really really 
clogged us up. We lost McConnell, we lost Clap,  

138
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:05,440
we lost WSU, we lost Ego Hills. Call it Ego 
Hills because it was so easy. But still there  

139
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:16,240
four courses in the immediate area. I just got 
to live with this stuff. And the last thing

140
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:22,080
I guess we've already covered it is that our 
groups existed in one form or another for 20 years  

141
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,360
and the only reason somebody leaves our group is 
because they die or they get disease and to get  

142
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:34,080
in my group you have to be 65 and you have to be 
retired and you have to play two or three times  

143
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,680
and see if we like your personality. you you throw 
the golf clubs, you're not going to join us and  

144
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:47,760
want you. But it's just so pretty. All right, you 
need to teach. But I'm I'm done. I've been just  

145
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,320
whining right now. I feel like I'm whining instead 
of just giving something y'all can address. Well,  

146
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,680
let's uh let's take a time and sit down. You and 
I bring your iPad so we can make sure there's  

147
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:04,480
nothing on the website technology side that's 
holding you back. [clears throat] I don't I don't  

148
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,440
want that to be part of the issue. Let's make sure 
everything's the way it's supposed to be and then

149
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,120
hopefully they'll I meant to bring it today,  

150
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:21,520
but I'm just too busy trying to 
print the stuff out. Forgot it.

151
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Yeah. I mean, it comes up it comes up almost 
every meeting. The demand is just bananas. And  

152
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,960
I mean that's at that's at every public course. 
at every private course in the area. I mean,  

153
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:41,840
it's it's crazy. The country clubs, sand creek, 
bikini, everywhere. It's took off. Boom. It's  

154
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:49,440
just I had someone last right before left on 
vacation, but had the thought, the belief that  

155
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,080
one person complained and that's what triggered 
this whole deal. They generally thought it was  

156
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,040
only one complaint. And I tried to explain like I 
had to go in front of city council numerous times  

157
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,120
because they were getting so many complaints. 
That's not because I volunteered to go and talk  

158
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,920
to city council. I promise. I'm a firm believer 
of the place where the complaints is right here,  

159
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,600
not the city council. What? Anything that 
seems with something you can work with,  

160
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:21,920
you have to take it to them. And I always 
never could understand back to my whiny  

161
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,440
cloud park was my favorite was my favorite 
park. My buddies always live in the ditch.  

162
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,800
I never did. They had just redesigned 
it and re refurbished the clubhouse and  

163
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:38,240
gotten bathrooms with three toilets in it. This 
one's got one. This is supposed to premier be  

164
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,760
the premier course in town or public courses 
and it's got one. I can't tell you how many  

165
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:52,880
times Jerry has snuck into the ladies. [clears 
throat] He's gonna get caught today. [laughter]

166
00:17:52,880 --> 00:18:01,680
But I I understand there is one downstairs in 
the basement, but u there's room in there. I  

167
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:07,520
know there's cost, but there's room in that men's 
bathroom to put in two more stalls. And I don't  

168
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,160
know how you survive when it's a tournament 
out here. You only got one toilet in there.  

169
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,960
I I agree. It's terrible design. I think yeah, 
the cost is substantial and then trying to  

170
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,480
prioritize. It's we we've got it on a list. 
It's just trying to Where does that fit in as  

171
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,240
far as priorities when we're trying to spend 
all these everything that cost $50,000 a pop,  

172
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:39,040
which is everything. I know you're spending 
a million plus doing the aerations on the the

173
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Thank you. I know you're doing that 
and everybody is maintaining the  

174
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:51,200
courses a lot better than 
they used to be. It's just

175
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,000
blind enough. I'll go back to my chair 
and be quiet. [clears throat] Well,  

176
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,280
are you going to stick around for the meeting? 
I'll get with you before I leave. Figure out.  

177
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Um I I leave about five minutes. I'll go get my 
iPad and come back house now. You want to wait?  

178
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Uh, you're gonna be until 6. Till we'll be in 
the meeting till 6, but I'm gonna have to leave  

179
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,840
pretty quick after that. Okay. But I can do it. 
Let me know when to see you. I can find a time  

180
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:24,240
tomorrow. No problem. Okay. Tomorrow. What time? 
I'd have to let me get through this. I do have a  

181
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,760
tea time tomorrow. Where am I playing tomorrow? 
Let's Let's figure this out after the after the  

182
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:37,600
meeting. Tomorrow. And Steve might kick us off the 
course, but I'm going to text tomorrow. Thank you.

183
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,920
Okay, next thing on the agenda is uh approval of 
the minutes. Did everybody have an opportunity  

184
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:52,720
to go through? I think we had a couple of months 
worth there. Yeah. And I actually forgot to put  

185
00:19:52,720 --> 00:20:03,040
one of them on the agenda. We had um March 
17th the meeting. No, it was March, April,  

186
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:09,200
and then the special meeting. I sent them 
all three to you. these on. Yeah, I have an  

187
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:22,960
opportunity to glance through them and but as far 
as I can see entertain a motion to approve those

188
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:35,680
second. Okay. All those in favor I motion car 
heard from Yeah. So I can I saw him about a  

189
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:43,520
week and a half ago playing but I haven't 
heard he said he wasn't going to be able

190
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:56,320
okay do we have a we

191
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,960
next thing financial

192
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:10,640
have the copy of the financial 
front here from the city. Um,

193
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:16,880
go through this and then we'll 
see if you have any questions.

194
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:24,560
Okay, let's see if this works here. So, 
this goes through May. I think we're good.

195
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:33,360
Right. Um looking at rounds, we're um from last 
year we're up about 10,000 or 9,000 rounds. Um  

196
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,680
mainly do we're really close to where we're 
at 24 and that's mainly because last year  

197
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,240
the the weather was so bad during the winter 
months. So uh really strong strong start to  

198
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:50,080
the year. May alone we're we had a little more 
rain than last year this time of the year. So  

199
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:57,920
u 20 20,000 just over 20,000 rounds um in May. 
Um, last year we had a couple thousand more,  

200
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,000
but I don't think we had much right at 
all in May. I think it was April. Anyway,  

201
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,520
u, so strong month there. The, uh, 
cart rentals are way up this year,  

202
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:13,440
up $110,000 this year in cart rentals with the 
extra rounds that were done overall. And just stop  

203
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:20,880
me at any point if you have any questions. Uh, 
food and beverage is up a little up what 25,000  

204
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,400
um, over last year. So just small increases every 
year. Uh my goal this year is to try to get 50,000  

205
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,520
up over what we did last year for that community 
here. So we're on a pretty good pace for that.  

206
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:38,880
Pretty happy to get there. Jesse, on the food and 
beverage, do we do computations like um average  

207
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,560
average expenditure per round kind of thing? Yeah, 
I can get you all that. I don't have it off the  

208
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,560
top of my head. It could be next time even. It 
doesn't be this. I would just be interested to  

209
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:56,400
see the rounds are up as well. So, I'm wondering 
if the dollar amount spent per person is up. Um,  

210
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:10,960
yeah, and figure that out. I could I could do 
that math if I wanted to. Yeah, I could do it.

211
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:17,520
251

212
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:23,680
to the treatment. 20 26. Yeah, you got those two.  

213
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:32,160
The far left palm. Yeah. 20. I need 
25 and 26. Oh, you need 25 and 26.

214
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:47,920
Yeah, I got them. You got these numbers.

215
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:54,400
Pressure on. They'll have those in just a sec. 
All right. Driving ranges are are doing extremely  

216
00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:04,400
well. Um even with the rain um really Texas has 
been I mean you can see it's it's insane how busy  

217
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,320
they are. Same here. Mac is up. Uh Mac is always 
a little bit weird with the timing because first  

218
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,720
Steve gives us a check at the end of each month 
and sometimes they're after the first. So uh  

219
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,520
kind of we're definitely up. I think we're up a 
little bit more than what that shows at max. So,  

220
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,320
uh we do have a lot more first TE programming this 
month. So, they're they're going to when they're  

221
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,320
doing programming, the range is closed. So, uh 
that's it's going to take a little bit of a hit,  

222
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:35,120
but it does every year. Merchandise sales 
were those guys are up about 20 $21,000 for  

223
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:42,560
the year. Um Steve's up 11,000. He's been doing 
demo days, which have been pretty well for him  

224
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:49,680
with demo outside. outside. So, yeah, and I think 
you got another one coming up which is full. So,  

225
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:58,400
uh really really good participation there. 
Total revenue uh we are up $350,000 this  

226
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:04,640
year over last year and in the month of May 
alone we hit $99,000 which is a record mark  

227
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,600
biggest month we've ever had. So, um, even 
with the the change in the programs and the  

228
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,720
I think we went 12 11 days on the old program 
and then the rest of the month on this program,  

229
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,040
um, there was definitely a little bit of revenue 
that we lost just because something wasn't working  

230
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,080
and we aired on the on the side of the customer 
during some of those transactions. So, uh, really  

231
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:31,120
obviously biggest month. I'm very happy with with 
that. What's membership look like? It's good. It's  

232
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:38,800
strong. We He's getting new members like crazy. 
Um, yeah. No, we're we're up. I need to start  

233
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:45,360
putting those back in here. We're probably the 
highest count we've had. I would be sick. Yeah,  

234
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:51,680
I think we probably have more members right now 
than what we've had any time up in here. So,

235
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,280
okay. So, that's [clears throat] that. And then I 
don't know if you've had a chance to to look over  

236
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,040
this. I sent an email, but um there's nothing 
really. Our expenses are up a little bit. We're  

237
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:06,640
putting a little bit more. Um it's a lot of 
timing issues. A lot of the um chemicals and  

238
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,920
different applications that we've bought for the 
course. We did a bulk order at the first of the  

239
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,160
year which saved money but we did it all at the 
first of the year instead of spreading it out. So  

240
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,200
uh they're higher now but as a year goes on 
that level off as we won't be buying what we  

241
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:27,520
bought in the later months that we did last 
year. Um our flavor costs are up a little bit  

242
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,960
which is expected and not a bad thing. We have 
a little bit. We're not where we want to be,  

243
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,480
but we're closer this year than we were last year. 
Um, especially in maintenance. For some reason,  

244
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,640
maintenance has had much more luck this year 
finding people, which is huge, obviously. So,  

245
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,840
um, that's that's been a little better this year. 
Um, one thing I'm not sure of, I've tried to get  

246
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,400
an answer today. Our fuel cost is way up this 
year compared to last year, and I don't know the  

247
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,720
reason for that. It's some kind of timing or I I 
don't know. There's no way we're up that much. So,  

248
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,320
I've got to figure out why this reflects that. And 
then one more thing to note on here on the capital  

249
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,440
equipment. Um, we charge a couple of pieces 
of equipment to the general fund that will be  

250
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,080
transferred to the the equipment fund, but it's 
not the debt transfer hasn't been done yet. So,  

251
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,160
it's showing as an expense here that will 
be taking. Is that what the 85 is? I think  

252
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:27,200
that's what cont 85,000. That's clearly not 
corresponding budget. That's right. Yeah. Okay.

253
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,400
So, all in all, pretty pretty happy where we're 
at. I think um with a lot of the expenses being  

254
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:40,080
frontloaded this year, as we keep going, our our 
profit net revenue is going to going to continue  

255
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:46,880
to go up a little bit quicker than what it could 
last year for the second half of the year. So,  

256
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,360
banquetss and stuff been out here. I'm making 
a little push for that last year. Yeah,  

257
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:55,520
we've honestly kind of slowed down a little 
bit with that push just because staffing. Yeah,  

258
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,080
like I I don't I don't feel good about having 
an event and two days before the event we have  

259
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,440
someone that's crushed us with a wedding and we 
have no idea how we're going to execute it because  

260
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,720
we have two people work. So, um yeah, we've kind 
of slowed down a little bit on that. If these  

261
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,800
two didn't come in and help, there would have 
been a couple of disasters out here this year.

262
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Okay. Any other questions on [snorts]

263
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,440
to answer your question, Marcia? 
It was just under $125 and it's  

264
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:39,265
1225 and 20. So we're about to about 
same a little bit higher. Thank you.

265
00:28:39,265 --> 00:28:39,280
[clears throat]

266
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:48,480
Continuation of prior business open board seats. 
Okay. So we have the the two seats that are open.  

267
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:54,720
I'll start with the kind of aronomy specialist. Uh 
that's as we've talked about many times, that's an  

268
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,760
extremely difficult position to fill and I've 
had no applicants that really have golf course  

269
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,680
experience. We tried to reach out and find with 
no interest. Um I did have an application online  

270
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,280
u from Miss Jane Alderson. Um she plays in the 
business women's league at MAC. Um talked to  

271
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,960
her on the phone. Maybe when I see her, I'll 
recognize her. But um she has over 20 years  

272
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:23,600
experience in environmental um engineering, storm 
water design, all the like I feel like we we have  

273
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,800
a good grasp on grass. Some of the stuff that 
she is an expert in, that's where we, you know,  

274
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,000
we storm water drainage. That's not really 
our world. So um she was definitely I talked  

275
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,280
her on the phone for a while yesterday. 
She's definitely extremely interested.  

276
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:44,160
The issue with her is the only night she cannot 
come to a board meeting is Tuesday nights. So,  

277
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,960
um she's by far in my opinion of all the 
applications I have for that specific position,  

278
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,800
she's the most qualified. Uh but we would need 
to as a group decide if we want to try to pick  

279
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:01,600
a different different day. I'm sorry. Did 
you say last name is Alderson? A L D R S O  

280
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:11,200
N. Okay. because that was not what you asked me 
about. They were probably talking into it. Oh,  

281
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:19,200
probably. Do you know her? Not even with the 
name change, but [laughter] but I but I asked a  

282
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,800
few other people just to see if anybody knew her 
and nobody did under the name. Oh, yeah. Which  

283
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:35,440
worried me just a little bit, but maybe they would 
know her under that other correct. Yep. Sorry. Um,

284
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:43,360
is there a possibility to maybe have one of our 
superintendants come on board because they would  

285
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:50,400
know so much about the grasses and I mean in 
this area because they've all done this for  

286
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:58,560
years and years and years and they kind of have 
the expertise of I think or is that I think the  

287
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,600
point is for this board to guide the employees 
so that would kind of be the employees got. Okay.  

288
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:09,360
Okay. I just I just was curious because they 
seem the most knowledgeable about Yeah. Yeah.  

289
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:20,880
particular subject and yeah maybe not God but get 
feedback and bounce ideas off but I Yeah. I don't

290
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:27,520
um

291
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:36,640
I just curious. Yeah. um turned into a staff me 
pretty quick. Just get old staff on this board.  

292
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:44,800
No. Um so yeah, I just with her background 
and her experience and she plays golf and  

293
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,880
it's definitely eager to try to come on and help. 
Uh I think she'd be a great addition. I just the  

294
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,360
the hurdle was the time Tuesdays would not work 
for her. So if this is the only time we have,  

295
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,360
I can let her know. We can we can try to 
go a different way. But I wanted to float  

296
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,800
that out and see. I know it's not easy 
to get seven people that all have a day  

297
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:14,880
every month that works for everybody's 
schedule, but um I don't even know what

298
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,640
Monday trying to avoid. We don't know 
there's leagues and different things,  

299
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:26,160
but if we switch to a Monday with the 
third Monday instead of third Tuesday,

300
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,040
I personally could probably Monday

301
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:40,800
or Tuesday. Yeah. [clears throat] What' 
you say? You better check with the boss.  

302
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,080
You don't [clears throat] know 
what you can do yet. [laughter]

303
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:52,800
will be done by six. You'll 
be able to make it up by 10.

304
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Anybody on the left side of that? Yeah, the 
the one I'm looking at strong um he's been  

305
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,640
here several times. Kent, he's the parkboard 
liaison. He's the barber, but he also has an  

306
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:11,840
online golf store that that he's ran for a lot. Um 
I'm sure you remember him talking about. Um he has  

307
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:17,280
definite interest and he plays a lot of golf at 
all courses. So he's very familiar and sees them  

308
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:22,400
all a lot. Um and he plays with JV a lot on the 
council which I think is a benefit. Is that the  

309
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:28,000
gentleman that saw him with the park board? He he 
reached out immediately and asked if there was a  

310
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,840
way he could transfer because this is really he's 
on park board because he wanted to be involved in  

311
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,880
golf and that's a very small part of park board. 
So he he wants to be on this board. I think he's  

312
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:45,280
uh think he has the knowledge in there. He 
he plays so much golf that he sees a lot and  

313
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,200
talks to a lot of people familiar with how 
the city operates as well. Right. Right. I  

314
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,720
I play with him text and so he didn't know 
I was on the board till I came. Okay. I saw  

315
00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:00,080
him the next time. I didn't know you were 
on board and I was like yeah I didn't. So  

316
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,240
he was like I'm really trying to get over from 
this side to this side. names explained to me  

317
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:14,880
and so yeah he's he's good guy one one thing 
I've taken from him that I like is even if  

318
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,200
we've made a decision that doesn't benefit him 
personally he's always quick to say well that's  

319
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:26,080
for everybody that's me it's not just looking 
out for himself which I certainly appreciate so  

320
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,480
uh yeah so those are the two going through the 
application the different things through the two  

321
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:37,920
that I I liked personally Um just again that that 
holder but if we can change it to Monday and I'll  

322
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,760
figure out how that works. If we can change it to 
Mondays and everyone's okay with that, we can do  

323
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:49,360
the third Monday and then I can I can let her 
know about them votes in the next meeting and

324
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,240
there's a I got to figure out council has 
to approval. I think I put them on a consent  

325
00:34:54,240 --> 00:35:00,560
consent agenda or something. I'll figure 
that out. Um and then the next meeting we  

326
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,840
would need to elect officers and then probably 
need to get sworn in again. Uh I think we're  

327
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,440
actually we need to we need to make sure 
next meeting we'll handle all that stuff.  

328
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:21,040
get this one in again. Elect officers 
and hopefully have to board yourself

329
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:30,800
questions about seats. You said we went to third 
Monday, right? That's what I Yeah, let me I'll  

330
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,000
I'll email um everyone and let me see what all 
who's involved in that because I don't think  

331
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,880
there's a date or anything in the BS. So I don't 
think there'll be any change. Just some bubbling  

332
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:51,920
on this one. We'll be good update the website for 
more. Okay. Moving on. Uh irrigation updates. Good  

333
00:35:51,920 --> 00:36:01,200
news. We um went through the RFP process with the 
irrigation design um firms and we selected less  

334
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:08,880
hill irrigation of just outside Houston, Texas. Um 
I go to council on July 7th, but he's wanting to  

335
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,760
come up even before that and go ahead and so he's 
gonna come up Mon Tuesday and Wednesday of next  

336
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,920
week, spend one day he's spending Tuesday here, 
Wednesday at text. Um and he's going to just kind  

337
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,360
of do what what he does and we'll we'll spend 
most of the days on those two portions and then  

338
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,320
uh he's going to go back and get started on the 
design. And he's very eager to move this process  

339
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:36,160
along so that we can meet the timelines that we 
need to meet to get this done. both of them. So  

340
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:42,960
we we went through a long interviews with three 
different firms and it was unanimous that that  

341
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:48,240
that's that was who everyone on the selection 
panel liked and that's who we're going with. So  

342
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:53,920
um so far conversations have been great. Um and 
I'm I'm very happy that we're we're going to be  

343
00:36:53,920 --> 00:37:00,960
moving forward pretty quickly. So is that they 
large enough to handle both projects? I know  

344
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,720
they probably simultaneously. So all he does is 
a design and then from there we use his design  

345
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:12,160
to bid out the work. Okay. So we're going to 
bid those out separately so that if one firm  

346
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:18,080
has the capability to handle both they can bid 
on both and get it or we don't want to limit to  

347
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:23,360
people don't bid because they can't do that. So 
we'll bid those out separately. Should be pretty  

348
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,640
clear pretty quick process and he'll part of his 
job is he oversees that bid process as well. So,  

349
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,440
uh, yeah, we should be should be pretty, uh, 
pretty smooth hopefully from from here on out.  

350
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,600
I think the hardest part was just getting the 
ball rolling and then from now it just kind of  

351
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:44,800
you just follow the steps and keep keep it. So, 
and and Mac is completely done. Completely done.  

352
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:53,760
Locked up. Yep. Buttoned up. They're out. Uh, Mac 
is really changed a lot over the last month. Um,  

353
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,400
we did have some pizza parts on the greens over 
the past week. um while I was out there. I've got  

354
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,120
some pictures in a minute I'm going to pull up and 
you'll see Mac is it's come a long way from where  

355
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,440
it was at 3 months ago with all the work that was 
out there and where when we played it last time  

356
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:15,360
it was not there and it's way better now. It's 
amazing actually how far it's came. I know you  

357
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:24,240
talked about they were going to oversee with blue 
I got Yeah, we're talk about that too. Sorry. No,  

358
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,840
you're good. Yeah. Um, I'm very excited 
about that. We'll get into that in a minute,  

359
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:36,240
but yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Uh, any more 
questions about irrigation comments?

360
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:44,720
Good. Okay. On to automated mower mechanics. 
I think last time we met it was right before  

361
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:50,960
I went to Waw Country Club to demo 
the uh the Toro, the the big mower.  

362
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:56,400
um spent I don't know over an hour 
out there with them and it's got that  

363
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:04,720
one on the right. Yep. On the top 
right. Um it's definitely cool. Um

364
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:12,800
there's a lot of good and bad which is true 
with all of them. Um the setup I think is  

365
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,880
not the easiest thing in the world. They 
said once they got through the first two  

366
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:25,280
months of headaches now it's working pretty 
good and they kind of got it figured out. Um

367
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,480
I don't [clears throat] I don't know that it's 
quite there yet for what we're trying to do. I  

368
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,440
mean there's so many it's got to have a path to 
get from one spot to the other. Wtop Country Club  

369
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,920
is so confined in that spot that it's easy. 
It has paths to go. When it gets to a bridge  

370
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:45,440
it will not cross a bridge. So, they have to 
go. Basically, it sends you an alert saying,  

371
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,520
"Hey, Dad, I'm stuck. Can you come get 
me? You got to go out there." Has a spot  

372
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:55,360
that it pulls over. Um, once it finishes 
one hole, it sends you a message saying,  

373
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,800
"I'm done with whatever number four. Am I clear 
to go to whatever you have program number seven,  

374
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,840
whatever." And so, the purpose of that, 
they want you to drive the area prior,  

375
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:15,440
make sure there's no puddles, make sure there's 
no winds, whatever down, which is good. Um, so

376
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,760
they were trying to be nice. I don't 
know that they were 100% thrilled with  

377
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:24,080
all the work they've had to put into kind 
of felt like they had spent more hours than  

378
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,280
they would have if they would have just 
made the fairway. But now going forward,  

379
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,840
I think it seemed like they had a pretty 
good had it set up pretty well. So,  

380
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:38,400
um, I don't know. I just feel like that bigger 
mower maybe is not quite there. And the more I've  

381
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:43,680
researched and talked to various superintendents, 
there's a lot of frustrations with those. Uh,  

382
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:52,880
so they use uh RTK technology as far as navigation 
and GPS satellites. Do they also have cameras and  

383
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:59,440
sensors and stuff on there that will pick up 
objects or whatever and not? Yeah. Not golf  

384
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,240
balls that'll just push those, but anything 
bigger. Yeah. I don't remember what it said.  

385
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:10,240
8 in I play guitar I think is what he said. Um 
and it will it'll stop and it'll actually skip  

386
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:14,480
that and come back and follow that same 
pattern. Um it is pretty neat some of the  

387
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,480
stuff you can have the entire golf course where 
the mole lines are exactly within a quarter of  

388
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:30,160
an inch same across the entire golf course. 
Pretty cool if the trick I guess. Yeah. Um,

389
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:36,880
and like when it hit a low, like it was pretty 
neat. It's pretty intuitive. Like it it did a  

390
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:44,160
there's a lot of really cool things about it. Um, 
it's like a 50 or 60 inch wide slot. That is 60 I  

391
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:51,920
believe. 60. It's It's the exact mower we use in 
the some of like the Greens Mowers and everything.  

392
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,280
It's just the It's got the automation on the back. 
So, um, what kind of price are we looking at for  

393
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:03,920
that one? 145,000. And like I mentioned last time, 
we they have that they offer in that plan where  

394
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:12,240
you can rent it monthto month for 4500, I think, 
and then if you purchase it that every dollar you  

395
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:18,560
put goes toward purchase of the machine. So, um, 
I just feel like you would need it at least three  

396
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,840
months before you even knew if you liked it or 
not, just because it's going to take forever  

397
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:33,760
to do it. Do they have any uh antennas or line of 
sight that's needed for this to navigate or is it  

398
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:40,240
he knows it's now he said if there were big trees 
that it could be a problem again country close  

399
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:44,720
fairly open but he said there are a couple spots 
even on that course that they've it's hit that  

400
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:51,520
just kind of don't know what to do so you get an 
alert um so they again had to reprogram the route  

401
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:57,440
to avoid a couple of those places. So, yeah, 
back with the many trees that are there. Yeah,  

402
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:03,920
I'm thinking of course and saying, you know, Sim 
is fairly tight to where you would think it could  

403
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:13,920
get from one to 10 or you know, like salmon tax 
would be very easy for those pretty well side to  

404
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:22,960
side. There's no big ponds road nothing like that. 
Um, so let me show you this real quick. At Mac,  

405
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:28,480
we've got the It's not one of these. The next 
mold, the smaller mower. This is a picture of Mac  

406
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,720
from Thursday, I believe. Um, it's hard to see, 
but it does the lines and he started he's probably  

407
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:40,800
put in I don't know, eight different zones now. 
And each he'll just take carry that to that zone,  

408
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,240
let it loose, come back, move it to the next, 
whatever. ates this on a little trailer. It  

409
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:48,880
takes five minutes and it he's been doing all 
the around the practice areas. He did the first  

410
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:59,440
tea area here that's better without the slide 
here all around the clubhouse. I mean it's that  

411
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:06,080
really that's mowing like rough, right? That's 
uh I mean that's a Yep. And we actually bought a  

412
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:12,240
second one of these. It was delivered today. 
So he's going to expand. Um he's looking at  

413
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:20,320
areas that are kind of close together. Four or 
five green 5t box that area. Um he's looking  

414
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:30,480
at several different areas but does a phenomenal 
job. And these cost about just under $5,000. Um

415
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:37,840
definitely when you pull up and see that 
it looks a lot better than straight line.  

416
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:46,000
What's the mode time on that one? I mean, 
can it go hour and a half, two hours?

417
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:53,760
Have to come back and charge. It does. 
Um, I've looked at some of these.

418
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:59,920
Hold on. Let's see.

419
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:04,720
Or's got another one like this, 
but it's got a 90 minute. Um,  

420
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:10,400
it can go for 110 minutes and then it needs 
to charge for 90 minutes. These, I think,  

421
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,760
are a little bit longer and it's not enough. 
So, with these, you actually have a charging  

422
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:21,040
station out there somewhere. So you would have 
to have infrastructure to have electricity in  

423
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:28,960
several weeks. He brings it to the shop. 
So when it when it needs to be charged,  

424
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,520
it lets you know. He just brings it. He just 
brings them over. It's just a tiny trailer  

425
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:39,440
that it fits on perfectly. Yeah. Well, I I have 
seen some things online about some solar powered  

426
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,640
chargers now that they're they're getting to where 
we're applicable for some of this stuff to where  

427
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:53,920
you don't have to have the infrastructure with, 
you know, electricity and stuff out everywhere.

428
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,560
Yeah. I mean, that's one of the [snorts] one of 
the main issues at the port is you're going to  

429
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,200
have to have electricity all over the course. 
You're going have to have stations all over  

430
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:09,120
the course. uh you're bringing in unfortunately 
in our world potential vandalism and who knows  

431
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,000
what see him today doing a course right around 
and the three of the team markers were stolen  

432
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,320
today [snorts] got to a where are the blue 
T's he's like they're not there so two of both  

433
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:26,480
blue team markers and one of the white markers 
[snorts] um so if you put a $5,000 machine I'm  

434
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:31,760
guessing it's probably going to get stolen too 
or kicked or broken or busted or who knows what  

435
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:41,040
Yeah. Tag on them or something. Yeah. And they 
have um GPS tracking built into them. So we we  

436
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:46,640
would know where it's at. But we I know there's 
a story I think we've talked about in it here.  

437
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,360
It just they tracked it to the department, but the 
police were like, we can't we know it's in there,  

438
00:46:51,360 --> 00:47:03,200
but good luck. Can't do anything about it. So, um 
does make a nice line. Yeah. I mean, I don't know,  

439
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:09,200
honestly, probably five of these. We could It 
does a lot. It does a big area pretty quick,  

440
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,480
a lot quicker than what you think. Like, you 
watch it and then you quit paying attention  

441
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:17,040
for 10 minutes and come back and it's knocked 
out a huge section. Just non-stop goes. So,  

442
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:25,200
so just have those little 6 in 
blades like the crest thing.

443
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:30,720
You said five maybe. Did you get that idea for 
the areas that we There's some areas that it's  

444
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,720
not going to do great. So, we'd still mow a lot of 
the areas, but we could have the zones that we've  

445
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:38,480
kind of identified that this would be good at. We 
could probably add five of these and it would do  

446
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,520
almost half the golf course if we know I was just 
surprised by that number a little bit because I  

447
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:52,720
played a tournament at Reflection last week and 
um I know they had a lot more. I think they all 22  

448
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:57,840
what I heard. Yeah, I believe that they were going 
constantly. Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah. How did it  

449
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:03,680
look up there? I'm g try. It was beautiful. Yeah. 
Except we were of course commenting that the rough  

450
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:10,160
was really deep um [clears throat] and tough. It 
was dense. Yes. And somebody said, I don't know  

451
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:16,800
how much they knew that because the the clippings 
all down in that that's one reason their rough is  

452
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:24,320
so dense because they're constantly being cut and 
five that is. But I do know that it was well to  

453
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,040
get the ball out of that rough. [laughter] I 
played last year before they got these mowers  

454
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:35,040
and it was hell to get That's true. That's true. 
We've been down for a long time. I was this far in  

455
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,280
the rough like 11 hoes in a row. Yeah. And I held 
him with that myself. Yeah. Trying to hit over a  

456
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:49,440
bunker. Good luck as well and stuff. So anyway, 
yeah, I think um it was in beautiful shape. I  

457
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,040
mean, I know we've had a lot of rain and there's 
a lot of good things that have happened for grass  

458
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:59,680
growing, but those mowers do keep it real sharp. 
Yeah, they're so precise. It's unfortunately you  

459
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:06,560
can't you can't keep a cut to a quarter of an 
inch. He said, "May that's perfect." That's Yeah,  

460
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,000
just like that guy from Chris said that one time 
when he was up here. I think we asked him if it  

461
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,560
could bow us apart over here and it was a little 
bit taller and he said no. He said it's more of a  

462
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:20,720
maintenance type mo than a cutting stuff down. 
Well, that's the thing. Sometimes you couldn't  

463
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:25,440
tell where it had been. It was doing the up and 
back thing and I was like, you almost couldn't  

464
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,760
tell where it had been. They're cutting it that 
frequently. Yeah. If you get a huge rain and it  

465
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,720
some reason you can't get them out there think 
it's too wet in the grass where you're probably  

466
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:37,600
going to have to knock it down to that level and 
then put them back out. So, yeah, there's they're  

467
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:43,760
not you can't just 100% walk away and think 
you're you're done mowing rough forever. But,  

468
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,520
they definitely do a good do a good job. So, I 
don't know. I said update on here. I think just  

469
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:57,920
I'm I don't think those big machines are quite 
where they're going to end up yet. And I just  

470
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:05,920
don't want to spend 150 grand to next year the one 
we want comes out. And I [clears throat] feel like  

471
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:11,520
a lot of the little ones cost you more. Yes. 
Yeah. Yeah. And the technology is just getting  

472
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:22,160
better and better and better. It's it's going to 
get there where you want it, right? pretty quickly

473
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:27,120
too with the irrigation

474
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:37,280
spot that all take care of.

475
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:44,000
Yeah. Um the last two are 
the big two. So we'll see.  

476
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:51,680
So we're on the for Mac for another 60,000,000

477
00:50:51,680 --> 00:51:02,080
something like that. [clears throat] 
What we have left 600 600 33,600

478
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:12,080
hypothetically you can knock 
that one out like you did soon.

479
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,040
Yep.

480
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:21,520
Okay, I hope that's an option at the end of 
the year already discussed. [laughter] So,  

481
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:27,200
where are we on these? What is the next step? 
Or are we still just conjuring? Yeah, still  

482
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,760
I mean I think I want to we're going to add the 
second one at night tomorrow and start getting it  

483
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:42,400
set up and then they do have a we have 9 in this 
again if I'm giving you correct information. Uh

484
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,560
Yeah, 9 in. They have the same mower we 
have in a 14 in. Um, it's just not much  

485
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:59,200
more. It's a 1500 more. Um, so we're looking at 
probably if we expand going to that bigger unit  

486
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:04,240
just so it's obviously it's going to cut the M 
time down and get a lot more done quicker. So,  

487
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:09,520
um, yeah, I would like to Ron's all he's all 
in on he's got really good at setting this up  

488
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:15,040
and so he a couple weeks ago he or I don't know 
a month ago he started working at adding zones  

489
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:20,400
to the one that we currently have and he did it 
enough and messed up enough he figured out how  

490
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,520
to do it pretty pretty good though. So, um I I 
kind of want to just turn him loose on let's get  

491
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:31,280
two or three two or three of these out here and 
see if we like that and we can keep expanding.  

492
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:36,880
I mean at some point if they really work we 
could go on in spend 60,000 and have several  

493
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:42,880
weeks going. The thing I like about these are is 
that you you don't leave them on the course. We  

494
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,960
bring them into the shop. I just don't think leave 
it on the course. I don't think they last a week  

495
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:53,440
without some kind of problem. So this is one by 
four and five. Is that what you were saying? No,  

496
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,760
that that's where he's going to add next round 
for right there in the corner where you pull in  

497
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:03,200
to the golf course. So as you pull in, you'll 
have me that first impression is big and that  

498
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,200
that would be a good spot for it and it's 
perfect for this thing. So Okay. Uh but yeah,  

499
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,680
right now he's got all the practice area, the 
first T practice area, all up practice area  

500
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:22,080
around the um clubhouse. Both practice screens. 
Number 10 T box behind number one T box number 17

501
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:32,400
may be all he has right now, but that's 
one mower at the moment. It looks

502
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:40,160
I do like the letter. Yeah, number 17. 
That That's a picture. I didn't pull out  

503
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:53,200
right. It looks He sent me a picture when 
I was in Greece. It's awesome. So, yeah.

504
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,480
What's the brand name of these? Next. Next.  

505
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:22,640
Yeah. Okay. We get them through Run 
Landscaping, which is their distrib.

506
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:27,120
Uh this has been ongoing for several months now. 
We as if you play out here, you know our bridges,  

507
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,640
especially on three and seven. We have 
two that are terrible. They're falling  

508
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:35,440
through. We got John Ho patch with plywood 
and all that. We had engineers come out.  

509
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:41,920
Um of course that that front line is in a flood 
plane. So anything we do has to be approved. We  

510
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,920
have that walking bridge. We can't even take 
that out without them approving everything.  

511
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,400
We can't even go in and bust that out cuz we 
want to make sure no debris gets in the creek  

512
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,600
that's going to float down where we don't 
want to make sure we're not doing anything  

513
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:58,400
to the bank that's going to cause any kind of 
disruption to that that flood plane the land.  

514
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:08,560
So it's just not the rails on that walking 
bridge. The substructure underneath is part

515
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:13,360
the concrete underneath the the dirt should 
be to the end. It's about 4 and 1/2 ft back  

516
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:18,480
right now. There's just concrete suspended 
in there with nothing to pull it up. So,  

517
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,360
it was as soon as that was looked at, it 
was immediate shut that down right now. So,  

518
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,280
um yeah, and we're we're going to take it out. 
Um it would have to be completely rebuilt and  

519
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:33,200
replaced anyway. So, we're going to get it cut 
out. Um so, I'll go to that in a second. The  

520
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,920
cart bridges, we're going to just They did look 
at every the substructure, everything's fine and  

521
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,880
just the top need to be needs to be replaced. 
So, we're working on getting uh contractors  

522
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,800
Seven. Yeah, seven and uh three. The second 
ridge on three. Those are the two we're going  

523
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:53,760
to start with. Um so, uh we're working on 
getting a contractor to come out and and  

524
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:59,760
do that work. I have no idea what to expect on 
the cross yet. Um hopefully I'll have that by  

525
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:08,000
the hopefully I'll have somebody out by the end 
of the week and hopefully next week that um have  

526
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:19,760
we ever considered putting a foot bridge between 
three four between six and seven? Uh five and six

527
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:28,320
cut through those trees. Yeah. And people walk 
bridge not a cart bridge. Right. I've never seen  

528
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,320
a lot of walking for some of the people out 
there. We haven't talked about that. Well,  

529
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:38,400
we I mean for a new since we're city, we have to 
follow everything. We have to even though it's a  

530
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:44,320
foot bridge, we have to have engineers and it's 
it's not a it turns into quite an expense. You  

531
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:49,280
wouldn't think you would think something you could 
do for five grand ends up being 55 grand. So,  

532
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:56,560
um no, I Yeah, that would cut down a lot for the 
walkers for sure. That impact me carving. Yeah.  

533
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:01,680
Everything with the cows we have to go through 
engineers. Yeah. It's just Yeah. And that side  

534
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:06,160
or maybe not the bridge if we put one five six 
but everything over there being deploy makes  

535
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:12,480
it so much so much more complicated. Um so yeah 
we're going to get the contractors on the those  

536
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,200
two bridge get that the top load replaced those 
should be fine. The walking bridge is going to  

537
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:23,920
going to go. So get permanently we're not gonna 
we're not going to try to replace it. I'm gonna  

538
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,000
get into that. So, I'm going to get your opinion 
on something. No, you're sorry. It's not clear on  

539
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:38,720
here. Um I understand walking that's a long way 
around. So, I've got Yeah, we'll get to that in  

540
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:44,880
a second. Yeah. Um I'm I'm hoping what I've come 
up with would be a better solution than trying to  

541
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,560
replace that bridge where it's at current. So, 
I'll get your opinion. We'll get to that here  

542
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,520
in a second. So, yeah, update on the bridge. We 
don't have to replace those. I was really worried  

543
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,720
they were going to tell me the cartridges we're 
going to have to completely tear down and replace,  

544
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,440
which would have been astronomical, but 
we're not going to have to do that. So,  

545
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:05,760
that's that's good enough. It's good. Is there 
anything that we can replace them with that  

546
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:12,880
doesn't deteriorate with weathering stuff like any 
type of composits or TX type material? Anything  

547
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:21,600
that maybe would last longer or better? If we 
do that, we're replacing Well, I don't know.

548
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:32,320
is the subure underneath those all wood. 
Um, yeah, there's a concrete base and then  

549
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:37,040
wood from there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah. I 
mean, that's something I'll ask the contractor  

550
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:41,600
when they come out. What are our options here? 
Let's see. I I don't I don't want to tell you  

551
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:46,080
guys. I I don't know. I don't know what how you 
I don't know what you need underneath that stuff  

552
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,560
and forward it to your old. I would assume 
you could, but I don't know for sure. Yeah.  

553
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:56,080
that track stop material would be fantastic. 
I'm pretty good friends with a guy that owns  

554
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,760
it's called Lynx Bridges. They're out of Canada, 
but that's what they do as golf course bridges,  

555
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,800
both walking and cart bridges. And they they're 
prefabricated in one piece and they come in and  

556
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:10,720
set them and install them. Um they go up to 53 ft 
long. It's their longest bridge, but it's all that  

557
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:17,760
composite attraction material. So once you put 
it in, you're pretty much in your lifetime again.

558
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,240
We're looking at this picture here. I 
think I jumped ahead. I think that's a  

559
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:34,400
little bit big. Definitely did. Oh, don't look 
at that. Okay. [laughter] [clears throat] No,  

560
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,200
that's all on the on the bridges. 
I'll talk about this in a This is  

561
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,800
number seven out here. So, at Auburn. So, 
I'll talk about that in a second. That's  

562
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:50,640
a terrible terrible. Are you just Are you 
sharing that right now? Yeah. Yeah. speak

563
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:57,280
said to me. Um, okay. Yeah. So, with the bridges, 
I guess with the I'll have a cost by the next  

564
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,560
meeting or we may go ahead and move forward 
and get that done. Okay. And focusing just  

565
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,080
on those two that you mentioned with those 
are the two that need immediate attention.  

566
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,720
I think over time we can develop a plan where 
we we started not not just here but all of our  

567
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:14,880
bridges are we did redid some at right when I 
started that was already in progress. Smack has  

568
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:24,640
a couple that are okay. They have a couple 
that need repair as a bridge tag something.

569
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:33,040
I got here

570
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:39,200
walking bridge. We're thinking maybe 
just going away do away with that. Yeah,  

571
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,840
I'll I'll go on that new I'll go over that 
plan and get your thoughts and and maybe I  

572
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,560
got two options here. either doing away with it 
or moving the bridge to a different spot. So,  

573
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:57,200
let me let me show you my idea to 
talk through. [clears throat] Okay.

574
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:12,320
Okay. So, that all for you know. Yeah. Okay. 
New items for consideration cashless in 2027. So  

575
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:20,240
talking to the city, we are going to go cashless 
in 2027. So we're going to push out notification.  

576
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,480
Um that's something they're wanting to do in all 
departments. Of course, we take other than the  

577
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:30,880
water department, we probably take the most cash 
of anybody or most payments of of any division. So  

578
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:38,720
um Tulsa's their golf division went cashless April 
15th. I've talked to him. He said it was two weeks  

579
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:43,920
of just getting people to know that they're 
cashless and then it's been great. Uh we have a  

580
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:51,600
lot of issues with cash handling. Um nothing major 
but every day there's 10 bucks, 12 bucks, eight  

581
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:59,360
bucks in it. With the city, they think everything 
should be exact. And some of my previous courses,  

582
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,680
if we were off $4, they've been like, "That's 
awesome." Right. But the city, if we're off  

583
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:09,680
a penny, they won't be spend 22 hours looking 
for that penny. Yeah. So, I think businesswise  

584
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:14,960
it makes total sense. Yeah. We're going to have 
some folks like it. [clears throat] Yeah. We're  

585
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:19,120
definitely going to have some folks that aren't 
happy. Uh we've even floated the idea. They have a  

586
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:24,480
u it's called a reverse ATM. So, for the first 
couple of months, we could put a machine in there  

587
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,800
where you buy basically a gift card or [clears 
throat] Yeah, it's a universal gift card. It's  

588
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:34,400
like going to deal and buy a gift card some um and 
they would keep their window cost as they get the  

589
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:40,400
revenue the percentage of that. Yeah. The other 
thing is you might think about getting ahead of  

590
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,960
getting it now ahead of this a little bit and 
starting to put this out to people that it is  

591
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:50,160
coming. That's why we're sorry you interrupted. 
That's why we're going to do it in 2027 January  

592
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:54,560
1 because I want to do a minimum of a 90-day 
campaign. So we're going to get all that together.  

593
01:02:54,560 --> 01:03:00,080
We're going to start October 1st putting that 
out. So we have three four months of blasting  

594
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:08,160
at last. Yeah. Getting used to the idea. I mean 
I not everybody will like it but yeah business  

595
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:18,560
I think it makes sense from a business standpoint 
man I mean I spend so much time on cash issues. U

596
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:23,280
more than I want to. Nikki's fantastic all over 
her death, but we spend way more time than we  

597
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:29,360
should and way too much of her time trying to find 
20 bucks that was missing from last Tuesday. You  

598
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:34,960
know, it happens every day. So, yeah. Um, and then 
the training that has to go involved the I mean,  

599
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,480
at the end of the night, all the counting down 
all the three registers trying to figure out  

600
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,880
what's what. Now, it's you put close credit cards 
are all integrated. You can't you can't be off  

601
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:51,840
on the credit cards. Is that right? Yeah. Would 
there be a possibility to put uh an extra tab on  

602
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:59,440
the receipt for a tip for the health or is that 
I know the city's not big on tips. No, they're  

603
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:06,240
absolutely not possible. But but no, no, no. I've 
talked to Mark Manning who's the head of finance  

604
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:12,000
and he is on board with it. He is his opinion is 
we can figure this out. [snorts] Um he's like I  

605
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:17,280
don't see why we can't do that. So, we're working 
through that. There's a lot of I think now with  

606
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:23,680
new management in the city. U that idea might 
be received a little better. These these kids,  

607
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:32,560
they're young kids, they're not getting paid. 
No. Anything. And I feel bad for I tip from  

608
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:36,960
giving cash. Well, we have people that get mad all 
the time. They try to give a tip and we can't and  

609
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,280
they get they think I'm the one they're chosen, 
you know, that we can't do this. So they get mad  

610
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:50,240
at me like bad. My granddaughter works at the uh 
[clears throat] club concession area. She gets  

611
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:59,600
10 10 bucks an hour and 8% of hotel. Yeah. Yeah. 
I'm I definitely all for it. The only issue I've  

612
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:04,000
always had with that is you got a golf course 
where you got whoever's outside cleaning carts  

613
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:09,600
and they're busting their tail out there. They 
don't get they get their 10 gets 12 bucks an hour.  

614
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:14,240
somebody's in here in the air conditioner 
reading a book and helping a customer once  

615
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,760
they're making 18 bucks an hour because 
that's that's just that's the history it  

616
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:26,160
would it would be fine and I'm not advocating 
the other way because I same I want them to  

617
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:38,640
get their opportunities the accounting pay 
side of it would be fun but that's one of the

618
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,720
[laughter] The dumbest thing I've ever said,  

619
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:45,920
I don't know how any of this works. The 
whole no tax on tips. Did that pass. So,  

620
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:53,120
do you pay taxes up front on it? And then 
do you get a break individual when you

621
01:05:53,120 --> 01:06:01,360
let me ask you how many people should

622
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:07,280
this scenario would be reported? Yeah. Yeah. 
So like so like terine it's member charge it's  

623
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:16,400
reported on their cash but from the accounting 
standpoint if somebody leaves a dollar tip does $1  

624
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:21,520
full dollar go on their check or is it taxed and 
then it goes so that they get the full dollar on  

625
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:33,600
their check not No it's still taxed and then 
they got claim okay so the city would still  

626
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:40,080
have to go through all those saying correctly. 
[snorts] That doesn't help. Yeah. And again,  

627
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:45,120
once you go cashless and people are starting to 
be accustomed to that and they get there and these  

628
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:49,440
these young kids need your tips, I mean you're 
like I don't have any cash because you guys don't  

629
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:59,680
pay cash. That's been a fear of the staff with 
even the management how we keep anybody. Yeah,

630
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:08,320
I I think after people get used to it probably it 
will take a little while. The director in Tulsa,  

631
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,640
he said took two weeks to get through 
some of the people complaining. He said,  

632
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:18,000
"Do you know what they did? They complained 
and then they pulled out." But he said it's  

633
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:24,960
the best thing he said. It's like 20% of my job 
just went away. I don't have to do it anymore.  

634
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:30,880
Nobody's got until the till afterwards or Yeah, 
I think we said this made this comment last time,  

635
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,280
but I think think it'll make a difference in 
people who want to come in and just buy a candy  

636
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:41,680
bar or somebody who wants just a soda. Maybe 
they'll maybe they'll still be willing to do  

637
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:46,480
that. So, if you do that, then you have a certain 
minimum amount of money you have to spend because  

638
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:51,280
there's going to be a fee associated with that. 
When the fee is a percentage of the sales really,  

639
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:58,320
it's not like a per transaction fee. It's 
a percentage. Um what he said he found is  

640
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:05,760
I mean younger people use a card for 52 cents a 
trader but they some people will be like I want  

641
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:10,080
to use my card for $2. Can I give me one of those 
and one of those sell more? Yeah. So you kind of  

642
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:15,120
upsell them. So I think the other part of that 
is we don't have to pay guard right now. We pay  

643
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:24,720
guard the cash armor truck company. We paid 
them a ton of money to do all of our pickups.

644
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:31,200
That's a big big expense. I get mad every time I 
approve those in how you spend that money. What  

645
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:39,280
about if somebody wanted to come in and use their 
credit card but buy a gift card for their spouse  

646
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:44,400
or something like that? Say, you know, I want 
to put $200 on a card and I want to give it to  

647
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:52,800
to my wife or whatever. And then can they use the 
gift card as a card still? Is that people buy gift  

648
01:08:52,800 --> 01:09:00,400
cards just a little change and that's what someone 
could do is they could just a lot of people that  

649
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:05,440
the reason they use cash is they can hide it from 
their spouse. So they they could buy a gift card  

650
01:09:05,440 --> 01:09:13,920
at the first year and I mean it sounds funny. 
[laughter] It sounds funny, [clears throat] but  

651
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,240
you wouldn't believe how many wives think all they 
pay is the monthly membership and nothing else,  

652
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:24,480
not knowing it's $15 for a card every 
day. My wife just keeps track of that. Oh,  

653
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:33,240
yeah. She figures she can spend three times 
that. She's my old girl. Casino bingo.

654
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,400
[laughter] Every time I complain, she said,  

655
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:41,560
"We spend the golf 450 a month. 
Count the cards." [laughter]

656
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,960
me recording. [laughter]

657
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:58,800
That's one of the few things I'm quite vocal 
about. She tells me to shut up. 44 years I  

658
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:04,480
know when to shut up. So, you're going to start 
blasting that out in October time frame. Yeah,  

659
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:09,440
I'm working with our treasury. We got to get 
the policies in place and all the, you know,  

660
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:13,600
the documentation up and then we're 
going to start marketing information  

661
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:18,080
building. Yeah. And I think, you know, 
word of mouth people watching. Yes. We  

662
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:24,080
think everything word of mouth gets out and 
spreads and people will the first Facebook  

663
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:32,720
post that we make the comments will 
be pretty entertaining. It'll be fun.

664
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:40,880
Yeah. That's uh pretty well was 
decided last yesterday. The final  

665
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,840
meeting we've been we've had about 
five meetings about it. Not just golf,  

666
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,960
but overall it's pretty well decided 
there. So that's what's going to happen.

667
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:04,000
I [clears throat] was just thinking about our our 
league. We do things well a little different than  

668
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,680
other leagues. That's what I brought up too. We 
got guys that throw five groups that throw five  

669
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:12,800
bucks in and then they go buy a gift card winners 
or what, however they do it. So I think there's a  

670
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:20,880
few things we're have to work through. We can find 
a way to work. Yeah. around it. Yeah. So, anyway,  

671
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:31,280
uh any more thoughts on the cash slice thing? 
Okay. Uh credit card requirement for online  

672
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:37,040
bucket. Something I wanted to do for a long 
time. So, using City of Denver as an example,  

673
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:42,400
they have member sports. They require a member 
obviously would not have to do this, but anyone  

674
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:47,200
that books a Ton would have to enter a credit 
card. It doesn't charge them. It just it tokenizes  

675
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:51,440
it. Put it on file. That way if they don't show, 
we can charge them for that time. Right now,  

676
01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:57,360
someone doesn't show we just lost a D. And that's 
a big complaint is I can't ever get a D time yet.  

677
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:02,080
When I do, there's nobody in front of me and they 
think that we just didn't book it. Well, those  

678
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,320
people just didn't show up. We have no control 
of that. So, we do lose a lot of money. I think  

679
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:13,040
we probably about it's hard to track because it 
may rain one day and I'm looking at trying to get  

680
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:19,920
stats and I don't know what day it rain whatever. 
So, but I I think probably around 12% best I can  

681
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:29,200
figure times that we boo or no shows. So, would 
you then because example soi I don't want to book  

682
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,960
online because I have to put my credit card on 
there and I'm not sure if my buddy's going to  

683
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,920
show up and I don't want to get stuck with that. 
So I pick up phone and call up tea time and then  

684
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:42,400
I cancel. Would you still allow people to call 
in or is that going to be the end of because it's  

685
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:46,320
going to start circulating just call in instead of 
do that then you're going to start getting phone  

686
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:54,000
calls out. City of Denver on their website it 
says call in Tetons will not be taken because of  

687
01:12:54,000 --> 01:13:00,080
security issues. So they're saying they don't want 
to manually take your card the phone. I get that.  

688
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:04,800
I think the the goal is to push if you're not 
going to show up, you give us notice, you're  

689
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:10,000
fine. But if you just don't show up, we're going 
to charge you. I think that would encourage people  

690
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,640
to actually care. Say, you have three people, 
you put your credit card, you looking for four,  

691
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,840
one person doesn't show up, do you still get 
stuck with that person? So, what we could do,  

692
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,240
so there's different courses that do it different 
ways. There's that option where you just charge  

693
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:28,240
them whatever. There's an option where we charge a 
no-show fee. So maybe it's half of your green fee  

694
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:34,560
or it's a flat $15 rate per per [ __ ] whatever 
that is. And that's something we would determine  

695
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:39,200
not tonight, but we could determine that maybe 
next meeting. You can set it up for whatever  

696
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:45,760
you want. Um, but right now there's no penalty 
at all for someone that doesn't show. We lose  

697
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:56,400
so much and not just the revenue side. We lose TO. 
We obviously value. How many times is it that they  

698
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:02,960
like if they don't show up they can't they got 
policy book but even there the staff still has  

699
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:11,440
to be consistent and then every time you do that 
that person calls Darius and has 12 reasons why  

700
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:20,880
that happened and I would say Dary is like I've 
heard it before thanks for calling. [laughter]

701
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:28,080
So who's making decision and pushing the 
button in charge and then someone shows the  

702
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:33,920
staff should do it there and then it system 
will suspend them after two and then if he  

703
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:42,000
is to undo that suspension it'll call me and 
say here's the situation we can do here. So,  

704
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:50,800
um, so you want 24 hours notice if someone's going 
to cancel, say, or approximately. Yeah, that way  

705
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,920
you can do a 12 hour, but if they're teeing off 
at 10:00 in the morning, 12 hours is one o'clock  

706
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:01,760
at night, you know, so 24 hours gives you that 
whatever time they're teeing off, they know that  

707
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:06,800
time to do it for. [clears throat] And with this, 
does our current point of sale still have that  

708
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:15,920
that feature of doing a blast when there's a time 
that's canled? That should be it's in one of their  

709
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:21,120
next couple of updates, which they do every two 
weeks. So, they're they're close on that. And I  

710
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,400
will say combination of those two would be pretty 
successful at keeping us Yeah. full. Yeah. I think  

711
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:32,560
No, they're So, they're going to have a standby. 
Yeah. And by the Yeah. Right. I will say there  

712
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:38,000
when they do their push out their updates every 
two weeks everything they've said it you get as  

713
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,240
soon as you log in that day the screen pops up 
and says we've released updates click here to  

714
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:47,120
see and get go through and read everything they've 
done there. They're pretty good. I mean everything  

715
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:53,520
they've said so far has come through. So um yeah 
I think here in the next few weeks we'll have that  

716
01:15:53,520 --> 01:16:00,560
same. So did you say that it wasn't going to be 
for membership people or something? Yeah, if you  

717
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:06,640
have a membership, we're not going to ask for your 
credit card like we have it. I don't know. I mean,  

718
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:11,520
as typically that's not for members. That's for 
Greenfield players. That's who we would have taken  

719
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,760
the money from. [snorts] You know what I mean? 
So, if you showed up, if you didn't show up,  

720
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:20,400
we weren't expecting that money because you're 
a member. Not saying we didn't lose that Taton,  

721
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:26,960
but members are not going to be happy. I got to 
give you a credit card every time I book a Ton.  

722
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:34,160
So I think it's just for public public times 
and that's who would have paid when they got  

723
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:41,520
here anyway. So and is [snorts] that going to be 
a no human involved automatic thing or will there  

724
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:46,640
be a chance for extenduating circumstances 
in a car wreck on the way to the course? No,  

725
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:52,000
you have to you have to mark it. Yeah, you have 
to pay them. And that's good. Like if the system  

726
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:59,040
automatically did it and it starts raining, what a 
nightmare that would be. That's exactly what I was  

727
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:03,600
saying. We get guys that call in in the morning 
and say it's raining. I'm not counting that,  

728
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:08,480
you know, just not bad. The rest of us are going 
to play that, you know, some people don't want to  

729
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:15,600
play in the rain. Well, some people can't do pads. 
Yeah. Walking. There are definitely reasons why  

730
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:23,200
that happens. No show. No show will ever Yeah, 
it was all that. It was 78 degrees, 5 mph wind  

731
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:29,200
and we had 8,000 people cussing us because they 
couldn't get a ton and didn't. And now we don't  

732
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:36,080
we lost the T time and we lost the money. Okay. 
And that's the most every golf course in this  

733
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:47,600
country. We're definitely on the back side of the 
I like that. Yeah. and I've had to work with again  

734
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:56,320
with treasury and auditing and make sure that um 
we're covering all the legal parts of that. So  

735
01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:01,920
I think it's pretty simple. The good news is even 
with the cashless I've got city of Tulsa and I've  

736
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,760
got a few other cities that have done it. So I can 
kind of I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I can  

737
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:10,320
call these guys and hey send me everything 
you need. We can tweak it and what worked,  

738
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:15,120
what didn't work. Kind of get that advice. Same 
with the city of Denver. call Steve and we can  

739
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:21,840
get um all the everything they've got together for 
their verbiage and everything for the credit card  

740
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:28,720
requirement so I don't have to start from scratch 
what they tweaked it to fit our needs I don't  

741
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:37,760
mind stealing other people's just implement this 
in case you know there you want to tag for the  

742
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:50,160
public they didn't do anything to members either 
just the public okay Yeah. Okay. Makes sense.

743
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:57,280
Are we good with that? Pull up our beautiful. 
Okay. Path on number seven and all. All right. I  

744
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:02,240
will say this picture when you're standing there, 
this makes a lot more sense because when I pulled  

745
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:07,360
this up today trying to just get a visual for 
you, it it doesn't look as effective as what it  

746
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:15,200
does when you're standing on the hole looking 
at it. So the big problem is you know this is  

747
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:20,720
yeah so right now where am I at? Okay here's 
the tea box. So you got the black te's blue  

748
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:39,200
here somewhere it's hard to see. So the look how 
green that grass is. [laughter] [clears throat]

749
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:45,680
Okay. Where the green bridge is. Yeah. So 
right now the walking bridge is right here. So  

750
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,680
as a walker you have you go here, you cross that 
bridge and then you're at the green. Without the  

751
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:56,160
bridge you have to go way over here. walk clear 
across, come around the spawn to the AT box, and  

752
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:01,520
go up. It's not showing the bottom of the screen. 
Yeah, it's a long walk. So, what we're looking at  

753
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:07,920
is potentially having the cart path right here. 
It would cut across between the the lot and the  

754
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:12,800
old I believe it is between those two two boxes. 
Come here, and it would come straight down. So,  

755
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:17,440
as you walked, you wouldn't you would knock out 
this whole portion. Again, when you're standing  

756
01:20:17,440 --> 01:20:22,000
there, it looks way different and it's looks way 
more effective than when you're doing this. So,  

757
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,560
you would come carts and walkers would come 
right here and go straight to the tea box,  

758
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:30,560
park their stuff on the box, walk to the 
green, putt, whatever, things like that. So,  

759
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:36,960
knock out all this section as a walker uh 
without putting a bridge. The other option  

760
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:44,160
is if that's still too much and we still 
have complaints, there's a section right  

761
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:51,760
here that or right here that's a lot smaller to 
cross than it is over here where we're at. So,  

762
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:57,280
I wish we could go out there because this looks 
probably doesn't even make sense to you, but  

763
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:03,200
um I don't know. So, we would do away with this 
part of the path and then just have it come  

764
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:07,040
through here, which I I like the paths that kind 
of cut the tea box in half. I think we don't have  

765
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:17,360
any of those here. Um, just a perfect thing. But, 
[snorts] um, how far from the front T's? It again,  

766
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:23,440
not as far over here is what it looks. It's 
probably right here. It would be beside those.  

767
01:21:23,440 --> 01:21:29,280
It would be kind beside the T- left side of 
the T-s as you're looking at the green. Yeah.

768
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,920
I almost want to get a car drive out there. 
So you could actually when you're there it's  

769
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:38,480
like oh yeah that would be so much easier. 
It would cut off that whole long walk that  

770
01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:44,960
you have to do and then you would end up right 
on the next T- box where you're at anyway. Um,  

771
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:52,800
if we did that without bidding a bridge, 
we could do that concrete work probably for

772
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:59,120
12 to 15,000 and um not have to build that 
bridge, which would require engineering,  

773
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:06,560
everybody permits, and [snorts] 37 years of 
paperwork to get done. So, I hate to be dumb,  

774
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:11,840
but about these kind of things. I am. So, they 
would just jackhammer up the old one and Yeah,  

775
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,920
it's in, you know, it's got the seam. So you 
you basically pull them up in those sections  

776
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:21,760
and if they break they break but yeah you just 
do they can tear that out Bobcat in a couple  

777
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:31,760
days we just res those that are smooth out. So 
if you did put in that n area and you did put  

778
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:36,800
walking bridge there that is almost in the line 
of sight with the green and yeah that's the other  

779
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:43,600
thing I mean it would be a much smaller bridge 
but yeah I don't really you still got to have  

780
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:52,320
I wouldn't put a bridge there plane that's my 
opinion is at least start here try to do a no  

781
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:56,160
bridge and then if it's still major major 
complaint we could figure out some of the  

782
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:04,240
To me, you're you're cutting 
out 40% of the the issue that's

783
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:11,760
So, you think the the red line is a shorter 
distance than the existing Well, without a doubt.  

784
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:18,800
Yeah. And Yeah, it is. It's way shorter. Yeah. 
This is I don't know why this looks so different  

785
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:23,520
than when you're there, but it would be way way 
shorter. And I'm sorry. Tell me again. Cost you  

786
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:28,320
said like 15 grand. Yeah, I'm doing that in my 
head. I'm guessing on the yardage, but 12 to 15  

787
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:35,040
grand I would think based on all the repairs that 
we did on the car. Really? That amazes me with  

788
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:40,800
the price of concrete. I would probably found out 
today concrete is way cheaper than asphalt because  

789
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:45,360
we're trying to concrete trying to the where the 
cars park on the back of decks there and there's  

790
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:52,640
a fencing area. It's holes. It's a bad disaster 
mud and we're going to concrete that. And asphalt  

791
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:59,840
was tossing as much as I mean, yeah, asphalt 
was tossed as much as concrete because there

792
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:07,920
is this a day worth, a week's work. What What is 
that? We could lay the new car path in probably  

793
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:12,400
probably a week and then we'd have to take the 
other path out. We got to cut all those trees  

794
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:22,400
out of there. No, it look down. No. What 
do you mean? That's perfect. Texas. So,  

795
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:26,320
it's going to hug up the left side. It's going 
to hug up the left side inside the tree line.  

796
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:33,344
Got And I only spent three hours on this. 
Let's be fair. I didn't spend that much time.

797
01:24:33,344 --> 01:24:39,040
[clears throat] No. Um, no. Where it would go, 
it would there's a spot. The T boxes are a little  

798
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:43,040
bit different elevation. There's flat spot. 
It would cut right through there. Turn along  

799
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:48,320
the the tree line and closer to the T boxes on 
this. And you ain't the same place over there,  

800
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:53,040
right? Right before the bridge. 
Right before the bridge shot. Yeah,  

801
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,720
we would probably probably have a 
curb that on there to since you're  

802
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:04,320
going toward the creek and then just have 
it gradually level back out. But yeah,

803
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:07,440
so when you're out there, look at this 
and you'll when you're standing there,  

804
01:25:07,440 --> 01:25:14,000
I think you'll be like, "Okay, do you need us to 
bless this or what?" I'd like to get feedback. I  

805
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,800
don't think we need a vote, but I definitely would 
like to get thoughts and opinion and maybe we look  

806
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:27,040
at it when you I give you time to put your eyes on 
it. I will say obviously since I walk every time  

807
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:37,600
I will forever miss that whole bridge. That's 
true. But um from a kind of pace standpoint,  

808
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:42,800
it's almost kind of nice to give that 
group in front of you a little bit. I mean,  

809
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:51,280
fast, it's going to catch slow regardless. But 
especially when it I feel like for some reason  

810
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:56,240
it gets stack right there pretty often. It 
gives a at least a little when you get done,  

811
01:25:56,240 --> 01:26:01,040
you get to you're like, "Oh, we're we're good." 
Yeah. You're not waiting. There you go. I mean,  

812
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:08,640
yeah, there's always going to be logs when 
I know. I guess I'm just struggling with  

813
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:16,000
uh just not seeing a lot of difference from point 
A to point B where you're trying to go. I do see  

814
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:23,840
the color path as curve that's for sure. It's not 
but it's definitely not substantial. It it's it's  

815
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:30,000
a I'm not seeing Yeah, I don't know. I would like 
to go out and look at it though for sure. Just  

816
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:34,080
I think right now the main difference is you're 
going to have to walk to you're going to have to  

817
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,200
walk here. Right now you're having to go around 
where you don't have to do that anymore. You're  

818
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:41,840
going basically more in a straight line from A 
to B instead of going around to get to B. It's  

819
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:49,520
going to feel a lot more efficient. I'm thinking 
I mean I that that without bridge it would seem  

820
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:55,040
like a really long walk. Yeah, because I' I've 
already heard about 50 people tell me about the  

821
01:26:55,040 --> 01:27:15,360
bridge and can't remember the bridge. Can't 
bridge. Yeah. Uh, another part I just imagine

822
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:19,360
here. [laughter]

823
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:27,120
We'll leave that old path and call it Randy 
Alley. Yeah. A little room to land it up there.  

824
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:34,800
It's a good hold up. small. You got to take 
the Greek out play. It's the whole thing. So,  

825
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:43,440
is it is the bridge in a similar area 
to where it's at now? Is it just a cost  

826
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:48,800
issue or a combination of cost then going 
through all the to do that bridge? We have  

827
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:55,040
to start completely over construction. So, the the 
permitting, the engineering, all that stuff. Yeah.  

828
01:27:55,680 --> 01:28:00,640
Yeah. I mean, but that does where it's at 
seems like one of the narrowest places in  

829
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:05,280
that creek. I mean, I I understand what you're 
talking about, too, on up here a little ways.  

830
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:15,760
It is a a little narrower there, too. Yeah. But 
where it's at is relatively narrow also. Yeah.

831
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:24,160
So, we don't have a a cost on redoing just redoing 
the walking bridge where it's at. We don't know.  

832
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:29,200
I mean getting the core of engineers involved 
and all that. Yeah. So the engineers that we  

833
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:34,160
had PEC some engineers from there they came out 
and they said with it being on a flood plane if  

834
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:39,360
you [snorts] if you touch the wall of that bank 
they have to be involved and they've got to sign  

835
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:46,720
off and they so it's a it's big process. So so to 
rebuild that bridge it would it would be a lot of  

836
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:52,160
it would take a while. They they basically were 
like you really don't want to do this. That's what  

837
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,800
they told me. Like it They said if you weren't 
a flood plane, it's nothing but you are. So  

838
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:02,480
everything [snorts] they don't want you to flick 
a rock off the bank. They want you to come out  

839
01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:07,520
further and drill pylons down. Yeah. So if we were 
at a regular walking bridge, I would definitely  

840
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:19,120
want one of those pre-fabricated, you know, he 
tied in 10 ft on each side. I not bother that. But  

841
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:31,360
what I'm trying to say, we the risk of throwing 
away $15,000, but you could we could try this.

842
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:36,320
I think aesthetically it would look cool. Like I 
go out there just after this, just go out there  

843
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:40,000
and just take a look. When you're standing there 
and you visualize that and then you see how much  

844
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:45,360
different going this way and going this way is 
I pulled this up today. I was honestly almost  

845
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:56,454
didn't even put it up on the screen. That's 
not what it looked like when you did it.

846
01:29:56,454 --> 01:30:01,200
[cough and clears throat] Oh, it's Yeah, you click 
and then give you the benefit. That was a free  

847
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:10,320
hand. [laughter] Yeah, really accidentally put a 
little turn. I see that little You could probably  

848
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:16,640
cheat the last 40 yards of that existing cart path 
there. I mean, if you're going to come down the  

849
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:26,880
tree line and tie in, you wouldn't have to take 
that entire car out. You can tie into it, right?

850
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:33,600
Again, yeah. Yeah. Most walkers are going to 
walk a straight anyway. They're not going to  

851
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:39,120
stay in the car path. Every time I got 
guys here walking, they take a straight  

852
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:46,240
line since that bridge is out. It's hard to 
do here because you get close to those trees,  

853
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:53,400
it's like rain and it's there's rough 
over there. It's I don't know maybe

854
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:59,440
[snorts] next meeting with me and we 
go out and look at what next meeting  

855
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:04,000
we go out and attend. Yeah, I 
I need to figure something out  

856
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:08,480
fairly quick. We got a lot of people 
like you saying I get it every day.  

857
01:31:08,480 --> 01:31:17,760
Yeah, I I got a hammer out there, so I can 
come fix it up. Please stay away. [snorts]

858
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:21,440
This course already has a reputation that 
they don't want walkers. It's not a walking  

859
01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:26,560
friendly course. And I don't know that 
that's I don't know that's a big deal,  

860
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:32,960
but that people feel that way. We got a lot of 
walkers here. I think there's more walkers here.  

861
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:38,160
Well, maybe it's more women who feel like it's 
not a very walkend course. Is that certain? It's  

862
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:43,120
probably the hardest walk, but I think we have 
the most walkers here probably, you know. I mean,  

863
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:46,560
everybody sees the handrail and they think it's 
the handrail. I said, "No, it's not the handrail.  

864
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:52,480
It's the sub structures problem." Yeah. If you 
crawl down, if you crawl down there, it's it's  

865
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:56,640
amazing. That thing hasn't fallen in the concrete. 
I'm not kidding. There's the piece that's holding  

866
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:01,600
it up is just suspended to where it's supposed to 
be packed and it's just suspended like this. Hold  

867
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:09,920
it. I don't know how it hasn't broke off. And that 
giant tree is about to fall in too. It's Yeah.  

868
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:14,320
And the roots of that tree or what are probably 
holding the rest of that bank up right now. Oh,  

869
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:18,960
and that's another thing. If that bank eros, it's 
right against the cart path in that one spot. And  

870
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:26,960
now our cart path is going to be hanging over the 
doing nothing. Yeah. Uh I will make a point to let  

871
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:33,520
them close right tomorrow. That's almost That's 
almost killing. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz that's going to be  

872
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:40,400
an issue fairly soon. Yeah, that bank is. [snorts] 
Yeah. We We he put some rock just to kind of test  

873
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:46,160
and see some rip wrap along the bank to see. And 
the engineers are like, "That's cute. That's they  

874
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:50,320
basically like that'll help, but that's not your 
solution. That's a this is a lot bigger problem."  

875
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:56,640
But on number two, we've got a homeowner that if 
you're teeing off on two, that pond to the left  

876
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:02,240
in front of the T box is that side of that pond 
that's against the house is that bank is we can't  

877
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:06,560
really mow it because all those little trees are 
what's holding the bank up. We knocked all those  

878
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:11,280
down. We are going to come in and knock the top of 
all that down soon as it dries enough. We can get  

879
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:17,040
the forestry has a big machine that's knocking off 
work. I don't know what it's called. Huh? That's  

880
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:23,600
not going to work. Myself and my neighbor Daryl 
have twice over the years taken every tree down  

881
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:28,800
on the on the golf course side of that little 
pond. And you know we had commission we talked  

882
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:36,720
to commission we work for almost eight days the 
first time about five days a second taking every  

883
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:43,120
tree down to their root. They're going to keep 
growing because one we're not allowed to kill  

884
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:49,200
kill the root. All we do is take it down. And 
there's one tree at the end. Uh all those with  

885
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:55,440
the thorns on it are spawn from that one tree. 
And that tree needs to come down. If it does,  

886
01:33:55,440 --> 01:34:01,760
you will not have that problem with those five 
and six foot little trees with the thorns 3 ft  

887
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:09,760
long. What it feels like when you're coming down. 
So no, we clean it out twice to bare ground and  

888
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:15,440
then the golf course lets you come back. Went 
up and I do it again. too old. Unfortunately,  

889
01:34:15,440 --> 01:34:20,240
he's wearing I can't think what the machine was 
called. It's that job machine that basically just  

890
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:25,760
I mean he it'll take them that one tree 
down at the end of that little overflow.  

891
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:35,200
If you don't take that down, they're going to 
just going to keep spawning those those trees.

892
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:40,400
Part part of that tree has died now. uh one 
small part of that tree that's causing all  

893
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:46,080
this problem but uh it's still living longer 
that's going to grow back like that after 3  

894
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:51,680
years [snorts] still living so I mean what we 
were talking about the engineers said don't  

895
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:56,720
take those out cuz that is going to collapse 
if you do that to what's holding it so they  

896
01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:02,960
recommended are you are you talking about the 
the actual pond itself or the overflow the pond  

897
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,960
left at number 10 the one all the beavers 
took the trees down on the back side of  

898
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:14,160
on the on the outside of that pond. Yeah. Beavers 
tore that up. Yeah. Well, they didn't turn enough.  

899
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:18,800
I wish they'd keep turning. They took so many of 
them now. It's ridiculous. They have more problem.  

900
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:23,440
Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of a lot of trees that 
they're going to We stood out there with the  

901
01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:26,640
engineers and they said, "Don't don't take them 
out because that's why it's on the debate until  

902
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,640
you have a permanent solution on how to shore up 
that bait. Don't take those trees out." They said,  

903
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:37,120
"Some trees already fell in the bank with them." 
Yeah. And there's no landing there. Yeah. So that  

904
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,240
machine they can go down through there in 20 
minutes and 20. So we'll do it several times  

905
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:45,440
a year. I'm glad we watch that. Yeah. Yeah. We 
were going to do it last Tuesday in the rain.  

906
01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:52,000
So we had scheduled. Now it's raining raining 
and you know how wet how long that takes. So  

907
01:35:52,000 --> 01:36:01,280
yeah, [clears throat] my house rain. So yeah, just 
look at that when you're when you're out there  

908
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:07,600
next time. I'm just I'm trying to get my bearings 
on it. So, where the red line is to the right up  

909
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,000
at the top of that red line up there to the right 
of that there's like a little brown spot right  

910
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:22,000
there. That would be the That'd be the white box. 
Yes. Right. Yeah. Right there. That's what So,  

911
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,040
that would be the white. Black, blue, white. 
Yeah. And it may actually be here. I think  

912
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:32,000
it is actually. I did that wrong. It's here. 
So, sorry. Yeah. You're talking about inside  

913
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:38,560
the tree line. Yeah. And those trees look like 
they're a lot farther out cuz you're looking at  

914
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:45,200
the top. There's room like where you Yeah. go 
through there easily. E easily. And there was  

915
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:49,200
eight people out there that day and everybody 
was We were talking about if we did that,  

916
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:53,840
how much space that would save walking. Everybody 
was when you're standing there, it's like,  

917
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:59,360
"Oh yeah, that would make it way easier." And then 
I pull this up and I'm like, "That looks stupid.

918
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:16,640
Okay. Okay.

919
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:22,640
Conversion at S. Okay. This is what we were 
talking about earlier. So with the fairways  

920
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:30,480
uh at Sam of course we've got Bermuda which in the 
winter is gets really thin and um you really only  

921
01:37:30,480 --> 01:37:36,720
have good grass half the year. So there's a lot 
of courses in the area. Wellington's one um some  

922
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:40,960
in Joplin, some in Springfield that has switched 
to this blue muda which is a mix of blueg grass  

923
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:46,640
and bermuda. You overseed the Bermuda with blue 
grass. There's nothing else you need to do other  

924
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:52,480
than keep it really wet. um put the seed down and 
it it [clears throat] takes so half the year the  

925
01:37:52,480 --> 01:37:57,520
blueg grass throws, half the year the mut thrones 
and somehow these two strands don't fight each  

926
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:04,160
other they they stay. So don't choke that out. 
So I can't explain it but yeah it's a it's a very  

927
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:10,320
common becoming more and more common in this area. 
Um [snorts] Wellington went and played there just  

928
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,680
to see what it was like. I think that was before 
the last meeting. We already talked about it. It's  

929
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:21,920
their fairways are perfect right now. Um and uh 
talked to like the tour rep. He's he he was going  

930
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:25,760
on and on about he used to be a superintendent. He 
was going on and on. He played of course in Joplin  

931
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:32,080
and of course at Lake of the Ozarks that did it 
and they're absolutely perfect. So I'm really  

932
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:38,320
you know fairways are especially at sim are are 
always kind of a challenge. Um, we've got the got  

933
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:45,200
it priced out. [clears throat] The seed alone 
would be about $30,000 to do all the forever  

934
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:52,720
in that course. Um, and that there's a cheaper 
seed, but the it's got a price for 21,000. The  

935
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:58,560
$30,000 seed is coated with undecided like a water 
retention thing. So, it comes where you don't have  

936
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:03,360
to buy like the chemicals after the fact because 
it the seed, however they do that, comes coated  

937
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:09,520
with that already. So, you're saving money. Yeah. 
I think you have a lot better chance of it of it  

938
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:13,920
taking and then um you know put as much chemical 
and different applications [clears throat] on  

939
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:18,800
it after the fact. Fertilizer, the starter 
fertilizer, we would do this September 1st.  

940
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:23,920
That's when you do this time of the year. Um 
we do a September application and an October  

941
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:30,400
application. Um they it would be about $5,000 for 
both of those to to get that starter fertilizer to  

942
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:36,560
get it to really take off. Um, [clears throat] 
and then we also want to make sure we protect  

943
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:41,840
the bermita for the winter as we're trying to get 
the other grass to grow process that we've done.  

944
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:45,760
The only thing we haven't priced out the rope 
and stakes and we would need those because for  

945
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:52,400
at least two weeks, probably the entire month of 
September, we would keep carts off the fairways.  

946
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:56,080
And to make sure that's completely done, we want 
to rope that off. We don't want to do all this  

947
01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:00,640
money and then people just ignore it and drop on 
the fairways. So you we would rope and stake the  

948
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:08,320
fairways. Um, so from September 1st basically 
to October 1st, October 10th, we would have  

949
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:14,160
um would be off the bat or it'd be carts on path 
home week. The we wouldn't really have to we might  

950
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:21,120
close for two days just to get it get it done. 
Um shouldn't be a big u disruption of play other  

951
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:27,360
than the carts and the fairways have to be really 
wet for a couple of weeks to get those started. So  

952
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:33,840
um we just had to keep a lot more water than 
usual. Uh, but you do this once and then it's it's  

953
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:40,000
done. But I think I really obviously not here, but 
I think at sim and then if that works really good,  

954
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:48,240
I like to do that back as well. Those two courses 
at Texas and ways are awesome right now. So I'm  

955
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:54,080
okay there. But I think text and and I'm sorry 
back would really benefit from this this process.  

956
01:40:54,080 --> 01:41:03,680
I think Texas too. I mean if you play tax in 
January, February and that dual I think again.  

957
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:11,520
Mhm. So the 30,000 covers both applications that 
you want to do for the seed for the seed. No. No.  

958
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:18,880
It would cover the seed and then it's about 5,000 
for this for the 30 $35,000 plus the work and you  

959
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:25,440
this gets drilled in. Yeah, we'll do a double slit 
cross slit and then you you lay the seed uh and  

960
01:41:25,440 --> 01:41:36,560
then you'll push them in and let it grow. So, it's 
not not that big of a I mean it's a big project.

961
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:41,040
I think uh

962
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:45,360
I don't know. I I was very impressed with 
with volat and talked to several people  

963
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:52,480
that play there is on course he's down there 
Harrison he's a good player he uh he's the  

964
01:41:52,480 --> 01:41:59,760
one who told me he was like come come with me 
you need to look at these yeah that's proof in  

965
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:07,360
the winter time now you can actually see 
what blueg grass actually does come in

966
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:13,760
right now for me always should be end 
of April. So, Maria was coming out,  

967
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:17,920
but it wasn't like it is now. So, it was 
actually when we were before all the rain  

968
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:26,560
when it was dry as heck all the rain. That's I 
was there and it was Yeah. And it was awesome.

969
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:31,680
I think that's a great idea. I like that. I 
think people would be very happy that we're  

970
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,840
doing something. I mean, there's going to be 
people not happy that they have seen on the path,  

971
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:39,520
but also they're going to be happy that we're 
doing something that long term is going to make  

972
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:45,440
that course much much better. Yeah. Probably be 
great to take some before and afters, too. Yeah.  

973
01:42:45,440 --> 01:42:51,280
Just show the difference. This is I know you 
have been able to play, but have you talked to  

974
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:55,760
any of the ladies that play it soon right now? I'm 
sorry. Have you talked to the ladies that play it  

975
01:42:55,760 --> 01:43:02,680
soon? I actually played. Oh, you did? Oh, okay. 
Yeah. More than I was supposed to. [laughter]  

976
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:09,440
You go and stop your I did. Yeah. And kind of 
reinjured a little bit, but that's okay. Um  

977
01:43:09,440 --> 01:43:13,760
uh yeah, I played it for the state senior. We 
played it two days in a row. And when was that?  

978
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:21,360
Uh last Tuesday and Wednesday. Okay. Wednesday 
and Thursday. Um yeah, I mean I think everybody  

979
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:25,920
felt like it was certainly improved from where 
it's been the last three or four years. For sure.  

980
01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:30,560
There were a lot of people older ones like 
me reminiscing about how good it used to be,  

981
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:34,400
right? and wishing it could get there. So, I 
don't think anybody pushed back about playing  

982
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:41,760
like this to to improve. I think the greens 
right now are really good. We do have our  

983
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:45,760
club championship the first week of September. 
There'll be a little push back on that. I mean,  

984
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:57,360
our club is our ladies club is 
old. What what days? 8 n [snorts]

985
01:43:57,360 --> 01:44:02,400
going first and second, you think? Maybe 
if I go back to him with this maybe. Let's  

986
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:07,440
let's talk about that. We did first start 
the next Monday. Yeah. Let me see what I  

987
01:44:07,440 --> 01:44:14,240
can do on that. And I don't they may have 
something to start to figure out. Yeah.

988
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,600
Yeah. I mean cart pass only. There's a lot 
of people who drop out but it's car pass  

989
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:26,400
only just because they physically can't do 
it. Yeah. Let's see if we can something up.

990
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,680
Unfortunately, that this time of year, 
it's when you pretty well have to do this.  

991
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:33,680
There's not It's not that we're just 
picking that time to make a meeting.  

992
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:38,320
It's a timing. Yeah. Sure. And and I mean, 
[clears throat] they'll understand that if  

993
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:45,440
we can if there's room on the calendar, 
we'll see if we can just accommodate.

994
01:44:45,440 --> 01:44:55,040
Yep. [clears throat] Any other 
questions, comments? Uh course updates.

995
01:44:55,040 --> 01:45:02,240
I think all the course conditions are have been 
around pretty good. Um we had some issues at Mac  

996
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:08,160
on a couple of dry spots on the green this 
past week. Obviously had eight of rain since  

997
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:15,680
then. So I think that took care of that. But um 
we're going to work on work on a better plan on  

998
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:19,440
how we handle that. It's obviously grease. I was 
getting a bunch of pictures in pictures of the  

999
01:45:19,440 --> 01:45:23,120
course and it looked great. And then I get back 
and they were like, "Yeah, everything's awesome  

1000
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:30,320
except for the hot spots on the green burning 
up." So, getting used to having the resources  

1001
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:34,480
to take care of that now that we didn't have 
in the past and actually utilizing them. So,  

1002
01:45:34,480 --> 01:45:40,880
um but no, I I haven't played in 3 weeks, so 
I don't know what here. I haven't heard any  

1003
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:46,720
complaints at all. I think the course is No, 
I haven't heard any complaints here at all.  

1004
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:54,320
I'm sorry. I was going to say since they took the 
airway over the fairways and punched holes again,  

1005
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:59,040
I think some of the spots are starting to even 
fill in more and get better, especially with the  

1006
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:03,120
moisture we've had and stuff. So, I don't 
know if he threw fertilizer down with that  

1007
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:15,360
or if he was just broken in. Yeah. Uh, and I've 
heard nothing but comments about the new super.  

1008
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:22,080
everybody that says he's doing a fantastic job. 
So, good. That's good to hear. Um, yeah, I did the  

1009
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:28,400
rar today definitely improve. There's still a lot 
to be done, but it's I think things are definitely  

1010
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:34,880
going and he when when he started, I mean, he 
pretty well laid out what issues he saw, what  

1011
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:39,360
his important things were. One of them was the 
root system on the greens was that deep, but now  

1012
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:44,800
it's this deep. So, he's really done everything 
he's hoping to do. It's a process. cuz we had so  

1013
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:49,440
many windy days in the spring. You couldn't spray 
like you wanted to. Um so there's kind of those  

1014
01:46:49,440 --> 01:46:56,000
spotty places that they are spotty. Yeah, that 
that's the main thing right now. Um but overall  

1015
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:01,200
pretty good about what I was seeing at Slim Matt 
now that all the equipment's off the course and he  

1016
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:08,240
has access to everything. He's came along and 
then text today six or five or six totals. I  

1017
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:14,720
don't know when last time he played there, but it 
was it was awesome today. I don't think there's a  

1018
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:22,080
weed or blade of anything that's not supposed to 
be there. I mean, it's it's Edward. There were  

1019
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:27,280
two comments made by the women who came and played 
the city senior over there at S. Um, one was the  

1020
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:31,840
bunker on 16 is still pretty darn rough. I don't 
know if there's anything else planned to be done  

1021
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:36,480
about that winter project. We're going to fill 
that up. It's not going to grow the way it is.  

1022
01:47:36,480 --> 01:47:41,040
And we also still need to get the air flow there 
is terrible. trying to get grass to establish and  

1023
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:46,960
that's why it is very difficult to do. Okay. 
I could just tell people it's in the plant.  

1024
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:54,480
Um and then the the pure dirt place is still in 
mostly in the rough. Um I I assume those this  

1025
01:47:54,480 --> 01:48:06,480
overseating thing may help with that or is that 
primarily fair race? This will be fair. Yeah. Um

1026
01:48:06,480 --> 01:48:10,240
yeah. Oh, this would this this that we 
needed would just be the fur away. So,  

1027
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:14,400
it's something we we need to address and figure 
out. There's some pretty good patches of just  

1028
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:18,240
pure dirt. And so, for the tournament, we had to 
tell them they could take that as ground under  

1029
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:22,480
repair and take relief from. I mean, because 
it's hard pan dirt. Yeah, we were looking at  

1030
01:48:22,480 --> 01:48:27,520
especially you're talking about the rough around 
the car path today. We're looking at trying to saw  

1031
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:32,400
a ton of the places around the path or widening 
path, one of the two because there's right this  

1032
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:38,000
much dirt on both sides. Exactly. And then in the 
rough, we just need [clears throat] to figure out  

1033
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:42,480
each area is kind of its own animal. What's the 
cause? Is it because it's no sun all day? Well,  

1034
01:48:42,480 --> 01:48:46,080
you know, what is it? It's a water outreach. 
You start to type. A lot of what we saw was  

1035
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:50,960
the dirt around the paths. And I'm sure that's 
from people driving off the path. Today we saw  

1036
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:55,440
I mean seven carts in a row. You pull it. Path is 
here. You pull up to the green. For some reason,  

1037
01:48:55,440 --> 01:49:01,120
you pull your cart here. I've never understood 
that. Just parking the path. Yeah. Or there's one  

1038
01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:07,920
today. Guy got to the end of the path and he just 
drove off at the end and parked. just one two one  

1039
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:14,400
step difference but it just killed it all there. 
I don't know. Um and then the last thing at Sam  

1040
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:24,320
is what's the story on the ceiling in the lady's 
restroom. There's still there's still a big hole

1041
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:31,120
there. So I didn't go last time I was there I 
was not there. I was there last I holy cow. I  

1042
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:35,040
was there probably two weeks ago. So the air 
conditioning unit it's in that ceiling and  

1043
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:41,760
it's above this. So when it free, you know what 
they do the constant drip. I know last when I  

1044
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:47,600
was there I was there for the city that was two 
week it was 10 days ago or something and that  

1045
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:54,080
tile ceiling. Yeah. Yeah. We can replace 
the tile. I figure out the cost. I don't  

1046
01:49:54,080 --> 01:50:01,600
know. I'm telling you our budget 80% of our 
expenses go to the air conditioner companies.  

1047
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:06,320
It's I've never every golf course I've ever worked 
at club house is just air conditioners don't work.  

1048
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:11,600
I don't understand it. They've been here 87 times 
and every time they leave it's fixed. The next  

1049
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:19,440
day we get here and it's 82 degrees. It's not 
today. Have you worked out? It's cold out there.  

1050
01:50:19,440 --> 01:50:30,400
They were here. Yes. I think. Yeah. So wait till 
30. Okay. Thank you. No. I'll I'll see what the  

1051
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:41,360
I don't know the ladies restroom that much. 
So start. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. They've done a big  

1052
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:46,080
improvement on the bathroom and back out 
the middle there. They [snorts] painted  

1053
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:53,840
it nice cleaner than it used to be. What do 
you mean they [laughter] outstanding? Well,  

1054
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:58,960
what you forgot to do was kill that big black 
widow that hangs around behind the toilet. Tommy.  

1055
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:06,560
Yeah. Tommy. Tommy. Yeah, get rid of Tommy. He 
scared me out of there twice. Chased me once.  

1056
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:12,480
That's awesome. I want to feed him. There's a big 
group of bushes right in front of the bathroom.  

1057
01:51:12,480 --> 01:51:21,840
Okay. La [laughter] think about it. No, he just 
means to relocate Tommy. That's all. If you Tommy,  

1058
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:26,880
I appreciate it. Okay. I know at least one 
of my guys is death and would appreciate it.  

1059
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:40,400
I think he didn't go off the toilet. 
He looked down there looking at him.

1060
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:46,560
Okay. No, I'll look at that lady's crowd. 
I didn't know it was there. So, all

1061
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:54,000
right. Okay. Um, marketing and customer service 
updates. Anything bad to add stuff? Yeah. So,  

1062
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,680
I'm just going to share a little bit of what we 
did last week or not last week, the beginning  

1063
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:03,040
of June. It was June 1 through the 5th. It 
was our golfer appreciation week. We blasted  

1064
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:10,960
it everywhere, but if you didn't know, this is 
kind of the day say themes maybe. Um, overall,  

1065
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:17,120
I think people took a great, you know, they came 
out, they supported us when they could. Um, the  

1066
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:23,040
only real spotty day we had was our June 4th day. 
It was a range day and we had rain. So besides  

1067
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:26,960
that that the entire week was great. Obviously 
um we want to give back to our golf ballers but  

1068
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:32,080
at the same time we used it to encourage engage 
encourage engagement on our social media platforms  

1069
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:38,800
and also get people to follow so they know what's 
going on. Um so I just threw up a few pictures. We  

1070
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:43,920
got the donuts in the bottom left of gratitude 
on the right there. A part of the week we did  

1071
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:48,560
like trivia asking questions about golf courses 
different things like that. So we had a great  

1072
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:56,720
time doing that. Um, then this is a clip from 
our snack stop day. This was unpromptu. We had  

1073
01:52:56,720 --> 01:53:02,000
uh what what did we have all that day? We had 
ice cream. We had popcorn. Ice cream truck.  

1074
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:07,440
Yeah. With me Hamilton and snow cones. And snow 
cones. Yes. So every hour for three hours we  

1075
01:53:07,440 --> 01:53:17,200
had different stuff. So this is just a clip 
from the day that we thought was pretty cool.

1076
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:28,080
It was moments like this all week that was great. 
Sydney and I were at all the different courses  

1077
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:37,440
talking to people, asking them questions. It was 
it was a good time overall. Good for you guys.

1078
01:53:37,440 --> 01:53:40,960
Let me make sure I say this. They 
did. They ever been to the sports.  

1079
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:45,680
I was stuck downtown pretty much that 
whole week before and that week. So,  

1080
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:49,040
I was trying to make it as I could. They did 
everything. They did everything. Thank you,  

1081
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:54,400
guys. Yeah. And then this is just a short 
little clip of our final day. We gave away  

1082
01:53:54,400 --> 01:54:00,800
tons of prizes. We had competitions. It was 
wellreceived. We had a couple league that was  

1083
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:07,840
out here that came out and supported. WBC was out. 
They had some samples to try. On the first mat,  

1084
01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:10,480
we were seeing who could hit the greens 
that are out there. And if they did,  

1085
01:54:10,480 --> 01:54:15,520
they would get prize. And just by chance, there 
was a guy, a drone operator. He's like, "Can I  

1086
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:26,880
fly my drone around?" I was like, "Yeah, man. Get 
it up." But that was kind of the finale for it all

1087
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:35,600
TV. Um, Bench went Ben. I posted that video of all 
the winners on Facebook. I didn't want to include  

1088
01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:43,360
everything and we would have been here for half an 
hour watching stuff. something. And then finally,  

1089
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:49,040
um this is kind of the views, engagement, that 
kind of stuff, that kind of stuff from uh the  

1090
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:56,160
first, you know, three weeks of June. Um uh 
so here is kind of this first week was kind  

1091
01:54:56,160 --> 01:55:00,480
of where we were pushing really hard. And you 
can kind of see how when we're more active,  

1092
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:03,760
you know, in the community and stuff like 
that, they'll show that through engagement.  

1093
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:07,040
um kind of dropped off a little bit more as 
we get to the end of June because obviously  

1094
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:12,240
we're not pushing social campaigns as hard, but 
it's been great. You can see all the numbers are  

1095
01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:16,720
plus percentages for this. So, this this 
is the against this time last year. So,  

1096
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:21,040
pretty comparable. We're happy with the results 
and I think our golfers really enjoyed this  

1097
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:25,520
little games and prizes and contests that we had 
going on throughout the week. So, all in all,  

1098
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:28,640
I think it was pretty pretty successful. I don't 
know, leave that screen up for a second. I don't  

1099
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:41,360
know much about social media but 130,000 views 
that week up 60% 18 up 148% and watch time.

1100
01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:46,320
Define watch time for me. What does that mean? 
Total watch time that anybody was logged in.  

1101
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:50,160
Yeah. So anybody that's logged in has the video 
up on their on their phone. You know how you're  

1102
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:54,400
scrolling through even if it's halfway on your 
screen and still playing it it records that  

1103
01:55:54,400 --> 01:56:00,800
screen time. Okay. And so that's a combination 
of everybody. Gotcha. [clears throat] Yeah. So,  

1104
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:05,920
I don't know what I don't know I don't know what 
to expect, but just looking at the how far up the  

1105
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:11,120
percentages are, it looks like some pretty big 
numbers to me. So, really it's a great job you  

1106
01:56:11,120 --> 01:56:19,520
guys. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. And that was 
it for for me. I will say we we had no idea how  

1107
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:24,080
this is going to work. people are going to care if 
people how many people are. The first day I've got  

1108
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:28,400
Steve call me and he was like, "Hey, I got guys 
here asking about when they need to be here for  

1109
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:36,480
this or this." Awesome. Time to donuts arrive. 
Before before us, I wish the shots we'd stay.  

1110
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:41,680
We had we there was a huge storm coming. Everyone 
knew it was on the way. So, I had several people  

1111
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:46,480
telling me I was going to come out, but it's going 
to rain. And we had about maybe an hour. There was  

1112
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:52,480
they had a DJ out there playing music. It was 
so fun. Yeah. It would have been awesome. It  

1113
01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:58,960
would have been cool. But we'll try again. Yeah. 
With shot suite. I don't really have too much of  

1114
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:05,280
just backpacking off of Trevor. Other than that, 
I've just been I've had a few more orientations.  

1115
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:11,840
We're doing good. Lots of awesome new hires, new 
people were getting in. And then um it seems like  

1116
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:15,840
it was just yesterday that we started corporate 
members, but it's been a whole year since we got  

1117
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:21,840
our first one, Clausmire Construction, and they 
are renewing tomorrow for another year. So Scott  

1118
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:27,280
is a cool thing wanted to share with you guys. But 
in there today, she was talking to you basically  

1119
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:36,240
were saying like, "Yeah, this is awesome. 
Come get a check tomorrow." Yep. Like was that

1120
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:40,960
south like south of the airport? 
a little bit like if you were to  

1121
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:47,280
go on Tyler Road like past Tex and 
keep going south, [snorts] you would  

1122
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:55,600
run like is that K42? I don't know. Go 
past K42. They're on the other side.

1123
01:57:55,600 --> 01:58:05,920
Different effects a lot. Yeah. But 
yeah, that's all I had. Anybody

1124
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:13,840
else have anything you want to 
bring up talk about real quick

1125
01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:20,560
and we'll do it again next month.

1126
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:26,080
Good to see everybody. I may uh I may try 
to switch that to Monday if that figure out  

1127
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:31,360
how that works. Oh, you'll get emailed but 
know there's a chance it might go to Monday.  

1128
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:56,720
Is it always this empty? Nobody developers 
or anything? Um, unless we are raising

1129
01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:58,320
it. Now he's
