[0:05] It's fine.
[0:16] We're now
[0:27] kill
[0:33] box.
[0:48] Hello. Hello. How are you?
[0:57] comments.
[1:04] Thank you, sir.
[1:09] Stay out there a little bit. It's fixing to dump.
[1:15] I think we got plenty the other day. Yeah, 
I think we did. Texas closed I guess right
[1:40] okay I guess we'll call the meeting to 
order [clears throat] first thing on the  
[1:44] agenda announcements any announcements no the only 
thing I'd really is our junior golf program summer  
[1:53] programs are full force right now. We're in the 
this week was our third week of the junior golf  
[1:58] foundation on Monday and Tuesday um days um full 
if you've been to any of the courses during that  
[2:04] time. There's 8,000 kids. It's awesome. Um first 
increased their programming so they got more kids.  
[2:10] We're doing um we did the hook kid snag classes 
are going the um uh summer of discovery where we  
[2:19] bring different kids from our rec centers that 
they come and visit of course [clears throat] um  
[2:24] so we've got those going at text today we had 
a few at uh math last week so uh junior golf  
[2:30] is definitely very strong in full force right 
now we're looking to probably have about 1,800  
[2:35] kids come through our program a different various 
programs so that's Good. That's fun. Fun. That's  
[2:42] good. Uh, next thing we have is public comments. 
Oh, yeah. Okay. Got several several questions  
[2:53] here. Would you mind just so the microphones 
pick you up? Maybe you can set here if you  
[2:59] want. Yeah. Just I want to make sure you you're 
clear on the recording. Thank you. Excuse me.
[3:08] [clears throat]  
[3:14] You like to state your name? Was Mark Adams? I'm 
a member of a Dirty Dozen golf group. Forgotten,  
[3:24] I guess. Um, Jesse answered my first two 
questions today. Um, I was at text the  
[3:31] other day talking with Steve and he showed me 
on his computer how when one selects a tea time,  
[3:37] there's a little box, you can X to get the 
second T time reserved for you. Of course,  
[3:43] I saw it and he showed me how it worked 
on the computer, but I've got an Apple  
[3:47] and a Windows side by side and I can't get 
it to work on mine. And speaking of that,  
[3:51] the program does not work on the Windows at all, 
as I'm sure you all know. Uh, golf witch program  
[3:59] won't even download on a Windows program. So, if 
you've got a Windows at home and not an Apple,  
[4:04] you can't get into the program. Got Windows 
here. We got something in some something's  
[4:09] wrong there. I've got nothing. I've got five 
guys that can't download work on computer. What  
[4:17] do you It's there's nothing to download. You 
just apply other than the app somewhere. Well,  
[4:25] the app is for a phone. The app is designed 
strictly for a phone. Either Android or  
[4:29] iPhone. Okay. What do you have for the for the 
computers? Now, we just go to the website. It's  
[4:33] a website. So there's no there's nothing to 
download. You just go to golfwitchto.com.  
[4:37] Okay. [clears throat] I'll pass that on to my 
guys. I've got it on my phone and I've got it  
[4:43] on my iPad. No problem. Yeah. Any any device will 
work, but it's not meant for a desktop or laptop.
[4:52] Answer some of those questions.
[4:56] Exactly what groups are allowed multiple key times 
at each golf course. I know there's a men's club  
[5:02] at each course that's allowed and a women's club 
is allowed. What else is allowed? There's each  
[5:07] club if they have the participation, it has one 
men's club, one ladies club, one couple's league,  
[5:13] and one senior league. So those those clubs are 
allowed two days at their designated course,  
[5:20] not a rotation. So if Auburn has men's club, 
they their days are at Auburn Hills. assume  
[5:26] men's leave. Their days are at 7, but they're 
designated. They're open to they're they are  
[5:34] the designated leads, not groups leads for those 
courses and they are anyone can sign up. That's  
[5:39] the the kind of the policy with that. Anyone 
can sign up for those. We have a contact on the  
[5:44] website for those leagues where they can sign up. 
So, um it's not just a group that play together.  
[5:49] It's actual organized leagues that the course has 
designated as official leagues. the groups the the  
[5:57] groups that can book multiple tea times go through 
your the you got to register right I think that's  
[6:06] what he's the leagues are established for the for 
the year the groups you got to go through so yeah  
[6:12] so the leagues they can book in advance we we'll 
set the calendar out for the whole year because we  
[6:16] have league days the groups are have the ability 
to book multiple tubs uh which is what you guys  
[6:22] will qualify qualify as So you can I mean I've 
got a ton of groups that do it. So we need to  
[6:29] sit down and figure out what the issue is there. 
I've got a lot of groups that do it without issue.  
[6:34] So I mean I've been working with you for what it's 
almost two years now and u and now with the once  
[6:40] the new program came online we can't get squat. 
So I'll get with you on that. Yeah. I don't know  
[6:45] what the you saying you can't do it. What's the 
reason you can't do it? That'd be nice to know.  
[6:50] 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  
[6:55] tea times or there's something a tea time here and 
a tea time there. We can't get tea times together  
[7:02] and we're really consistent. We play Monday, 
Wednesday, Friday have been for over 20 years. So,  
[7:08] I know we've talked, but let me back up just for 
a second and tell you where this came from is the  
[7:13] massive amount of complaints we had from so many 
people saying that there are groups that get tea  
[7:18] times in advance all year. I understand and we 
have individuals that can never find a ton and  
[7:25] you pay the same amount for the same membership. 
So what we're doing is making sure it's everyone  
[7:30] is is equal and you have the same the same access 
to those tons. you go through the same process,  
[7:36] but you would have the ability to book 
multiple team times when available,  
[7:42] which when you play it's I mean we play Monday, 
winter, Friday, we try to get around 9 between 9,
[7:51] the early days. Well, it's odd to me that you 
can't find tea times back to back at that time  
[7:54] during the week. I can go online. We have to 
get up at 5 in the morning 4:58 in the morning.  
[8:00] 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  
[8:06] other day, there's a little box, but I can't find 
it on mine. But uh by the time you hit the first  
[8:12] one, they're gone. The rest of them are gone. And 
you can't get to back to back. Sometimes I'll get  
[8:17] one with a tea time in between, I don't have a 
problem with that. We get to the golf course, we  
[8:23] get to the guys in between us and say, "Hey, you 
want to go you want to go early? That way you can  
[8:27] get us back together." that works even even two 
tea times separate will work for us but sometimes  
[8:33] I get the one tea time and they're nothing that 
thing fills up so fast it's ridiculous and and  
[8:40] that's good for you not for us we need to maybe 
what do you have a laptop what do you use to book  
[8:49] times what kind of demotion kind of on my iPad so 
if you could bring your iPad and let's sit down  
[8:56] and look because there there's something you're 
not seeing it Are you set up as a group? Your guys  
[9:01] group? We were, but because I had two, we had um 
Dirty Dozen and my one my email address and hasn't  
[9:10] been for 30 years is golfing the fool at Cox.net. 
For a while, we had no problem getting on as  
[9:19] um the dirty dozen. But for some reason, and 
and you know, Jesse explained it to me a little  
[9:26] bit earlier that maybe with this new program 
because we have the same you can't use the same  
[9:31] email for two different accounts. We can only 
So we don't have 8,000 duplicate accounts like  
[9:36] we had 52,000 accounts and only 17,000 were 
legit. Yeah. And I understand that. I just  
[9:41] I wasn't aware of that. I understand that prop. 
So now and most of you may know if you had Cox,  
[9:48] it's now Yahoo. and I'll just get a yellow email 
and see if that works or not. So, right now he  
[9:54] can put them in his name. That's how it set up. 
So, you have you can you can book them. It would  
[9:57] just be your name. But if you want a group account 
so that the same one, they can log in and do that.  
[10:06] We can we can set that up. Right now, we've got 
three of us that get up and I get up on Mondays,  
[10:11] Russell on Wednesdays, and Daryl on the Fridays to 
get the tea times. But when we can't, our backup  
[10:17] is always Cheney or Sand Creek. Like Monday, I'm 
playing at Cheney because we're playing at Cheney  
[10:23] because all the courses are shut down in the 
morning for something next Monday. The groups,  
[10:30] don't they identify one person as the the the tea 
time getter? Yeah. So So having three guys trying  
[10:39] to get off of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that 
could be Could that be part of the problem? No,  
[10:44] use different names. So he's Monday on Monday. And 
I understand, but your group is supposed to only  
[10:48] have one person who can get multiple tea times. 
We don't have a group now, dear. They knocked us  
[10:53] out. We We have not talked you out. No, we've not 
because the email is not your fault. It's because  
[10:59] the email would no longer happen. No, your group 
is there. You're saying he's saying the account  
[11:03] of called Dirty Dozen instead of his name is not 
there. Yeah. So we we signed in under, you know,  
[11:09] my name on Mondays, a different name on Wednesdays 
and a different name on Fridays. I'm old. Yeah,  
[11:16] this get over 458 in one and hoping to get a 
tea time, but that's not not to say it wrong,  
[11:25] but that's the same issue that everybody's got it. 
Hundreds of people complained about last year and  
[11:32] now a lot of the groups are having to do that 
and they are understanding, but also obviously  
[11:38] obviously no one likes it. No one likes So yeah, 
I I was with one of the pros um last week and
[11:52] this he was trying to find out what tea times I 
had for that week. And then we look in there and  
[12:00] we see one group on Saturday has got nine tea 
times. Now, with the exception of tournaments,  
[12:07] what's the justification of one group having 
one group having nine tea types? It's probably  
[12:11] a league. Who where we at? Oh, this was at 
Arvin Hills on Saturday morning. That's the  
[12:17] men's league. That's not They don't play during 
the week. We play Wednesday and Saturday. Every  
[12:22] other Saturday, not every Saturday. 19 times 
on Wednesdays and 19 times on Saturdays.
[12:31] But that is a league. That's not a 
group. that's uh open to anyone can  
[12:35] join. It's what we were talking about. 
It's the designated league for Auburn.
[12:41] Saturday morning, I mean, we went back and 
forth on that. Um we we did it every other  
[12:46] Saturday instead of every Saturday at this 
time. Well, I I [clears throat] I appreciate  
[12:51] that. But [snorts] the reason we don't play on 
Saturday is because we let the we leave the tea  
[12:55] times to the people who have to work all week. 
They got a league on on sat on Saturday morning  
[13:01] taking nine tea times. I would hope that most 
of those people have jobs during the week and  
[13:06] that's the only time they can back. But that 
that seemed awful curious. Nine tea times on  
[13:15] Wednesday morning the senior league here has 
probably more than that. Senior league here  
[13:19] is 110 people. Yeah. It's you know again that's 
different than a group. that's a an actual link  
[13:28] that run by the course and they can sign up 
and it's open to anybody. So it's that's the  
[13:35] the difference there. One thing I've noticed and 
this is just beside anything else. You know when I  
[13:43] see a group of guys out there playing they're all 
over that dog golf course but you get ladies out  
[13:49] there playing they're rather organized but none 
of this all over. No it's just golf that's why.  
[13:55] Mhm. That's every aspect of life in my opinion. 
That's not just golf. No, you're right. Um,
[14:05] you're right. 55,000 rounds a year on 
a public golf course. So, I understand  
[14:11] what you're saying. This morning, 5:00 to 
make a te time for next Tuesday. I got in,  
[14:17] first one I could get was 750. I went back 
to get another one. The next one I could get  
[14:21] was 950. Yeah. It was like like that. They're 
gone. They just go so fast. I I mean I don't  
[14:27] know there's a perfect answer for it. I'm 
just But I I I feel what you're saying and  
[14:32] I I totally understand it to me. The only It's 
not perfect. The only answer is make sure it's  
[14:38] the same for every person. Yeah. That's the 
only I mean yeah which is what for everybody  
[14:43] that's we've lost four golf club four golf 
courses in the last decade I guess it is  
[14:50] now. [clears throat] And uh that's really really 
clogged us up. We lost McConnell, we lost Clap,  
[14:57] we lost WSU, we lost Ego Hills. Call it Ego 
Hills because it was so easy. But still there  
[15:05] four courses in the immediate area. I just got 
to live with this stuff. And the last thing
[15:16] I guess we've already covered it is that our 
groups existed in one form or another for 20 years  
[15:22] and the only reason somebody leaves our group is 
because they die or they get disease and to get  
[15:27] in my group you have to be 65 and you have to be 
retired and you have to play two or three times  
[15:34] and see if we like your personality. you you throw 
the golf clubs, you're not going to join us and  
[15:39] want you. But it's just so pretty. All right, you 
need to teach. But I'm I'm done. I've been just  
[15:47] whining right now. I feel like I'm whining instead 
of just giving something y'all can address. Well,  
[15:52] let's uh let's take a time and sit down. You and 
I bring your iPad so we can make sure there's  
[15:57] nothing on the website technology side that's 
holding you back. [clears throat] I don't I don't  
[16:04] want that to be part of the issue. Let's make sure 
everything's the way it's supposed to be and then
[16:11] hopefully they'll I meant to bring it today,  
[16:13] but I'm just too busy trying to 
print the stuff out. Forgot it.
[16:21] Yeah. I mean, it comes up it comes up almost 
every meeting. The demand is just bananas. And  
[16:28] I mean that's at that's at every public course. 
at every private course in the area. I mean,  
[16:32] it's it's crazy. The country clubs, sand creek, 
bikini, everywhere. It's took off. Boom. It's  
[16:41] just I had someone last right before left on 
vacation, but had the thought, the belief that  
[16:49] one person complained and that's what triggered 
this whole deal. They generally thought it was  
[16:54] only one complaint. And I tried to explain like I 
had to go in front of city council numerous times  
[16:59] because they were getting so many complaints. 
That's not because I volunteered to go and talk  
[17:03] to city council. I promise. I'm a firm believer 
of the place where the complaints is right here,  
[17:07] not the city council. What? Anything that 
seems with something you can work with,  
[17:13] you have to take it to them. And I always 
never could understand back to my whiny  
[17:21] cloud park was my favorite was my favorite 
park. My buddies always live in the ditch.  
[17:25] I never did. They had just redesigned 
it and re refurbished the clubhouse and  
[17:30] gotten bathrooms with three toilets in it. This 
one's got one. This is supposed to premier be  
[17:38] the premier course in town or public courses 
and it's got one. I can't tell you how many  
[17:43] times Jerry has snuck into the ladies. [clears 
throat] He's gonna get caught today. [laughter]
[17:52] But I I understand there is one downstairs in 
the basement, but u there's room in there. I  
[18:01] know there's cost, but there's room in that men's 
bathroom to put in two more stalls. And I don't  
[18:07] know how you survive when it's a tournament 
out here. You only got one toilet in there.  
[18:12] I I agree. It's terrible design. I think yeah, 
the cost is substantial and then trying to  
[18:18] prioritize. It's we we've got it on a list. 
It's just trying to Where does that fit in as  
[18:24] far as priorities when we're trying to spend 
all these everything that cost $50,000 a pop,  
[18:30] which is everything. I know you're spending 
a million plus doing the aerations on the the
[18:39] Thank you. I know you're doing that 
and everybody is maintaining the  
[18:43] courses a lot better than 
they used to be. It's just
[18:51] blind enough. I'll go back to my chair 
and be quiet. [clears throat] Well,  
[18:56] are you going to stick around for the meeting? 
I'll get with you before I leave. Figure out.  
[19:01] Um I I leave about five minutes. I'll go get my 
iPad and come back house now. You want to wait?  
[19:08] Uh, you're gonna be until 6. Till we'll be in 
the meeting till 6, but I'm gonna have to leave  
[19:13] pretty quick after that. Okay. But I can do it. 
Let me know when to see you. I can find a time  
[19:17] tomorrow. No problem. Okay. Tomorrow. What time? 
I'd have to let me get through this. I do have a  
[19:24] tea time tomorrow. Where am I playing tomorrow? 
Let's Let's figure this out after the after the  
[19:29] meeting. Tomorrow. And Steve might kick us off the 
course, but I'm going to text tomorrow. Thank you.
[19:40] Okay, next thing on the agenda is uh approval of 
the minutes. Did everybody have an opportunity  
[19:45] to go through? I think we had a couple of months 
worth there. Yeah. And I actually forgot to put  
[19:52] one of them on the agenda. We had um March 
17th the meeting. No, it was March, April,  
[20:03] and then the special meeting. I sent them 
all three to you. these on. Yeah, I have an  
[20:09] opportunity to glance through them and but as far 
as I can see entertain a motion to approve those
[20:22] second. Okay. All those in favor I motion car 
heard from Yeah. So I can I saw him about a  
[20:35] week and a half ago playing but I haven't 
heard he said he wasn't going to be able
[20:43] okay do we have a we
[20:56] next thing financial
[21:00] have the copy of the financial 
front here from the city. Um,
[21:10] go through this and then we'll 
see if you have any questions.
[21:16] Okay, let's see if this works here. So, 
this goes through May. I think we're good.
[21:24] Right. Um looking at rounds, we're um from last 
year we're up about 10,000 or 9,000 rounds. Um  
[21:33] mainly do we're really close to where we're 
at 24 and that's mainly because last year  
[21:37] the the weather was so bad during the winter 
months. So uh really strong strong start to  
[21:42] the year. May alone we're we had a little more 
rain than last year this time of the year. So  
[21:50] u 20 20,000 just over 20,000 rounds um in May. 
Um, last year we had a couple thousand more,  
[21:57] but I don't think we had much right at 
all in May. I think it was April. Anyway,  
[22:02] u, so strong month there. The, uh, 
cart rentals are way up this year,  
[22:07] up $110,000 this year in cart rentals with the 
extra rounds that were done overall. And just stop  
[22:13] me at any point if you have any questions. Uh, 
food and beverage is up a little up what 25,000  
[22:20] um, over last year. So just small increases every 
year. Uh my goal this year is to try to get 50,000  
[22:26] up over what we did last year for that community 
here. So we're on a pretty good pace for that.  
[22:31] Pretty happy to get there. Jesse, on the food and 
beverage, do we do computations like um average  
[22:38] average expenditure per round kind of thing? Yeah, 
I can get you all that. I don't have it off the  
[22:44] top of my head. It could be next time even. It 
doesn't be this. I would just be interested to  
[22:48] see the rounds are up as well. So, I'm wondering 
if the dollar amount spent per person is up. Um,  
[22:56] yeah, and figure that out. I could I could do 
that math if I wanted to. Yeah, I could do it.
[23:10] 251
[23:17] to the treatment. 20 26. Yeah, you got those two.  
[23:23] The far left palm. Yeah. 20. I need 
25 and 26. Oh, you need 25 and 26.
[23:32] Yeah, I got them. You got these numbers.
[23:47] Pressure on. They'll have those in just a sec. 
All right. Driving ranges are are doing extremely  
[23:54] well. Um even with the rain um really Texas has 
been I mean you can see it's it's insane how busy  
[24:04] they are. Same here. Mac is up. Uh Mac is always 
a little bit weird with the timing because first  
[24:10] Steve gives us a check at the end of each month 
and sometimes they're after the first. So uh  
[24:14] kind of we're definitely up. I think we're up a 
little bit more than what that shows at max. So,  
[24:19] uh we do have a lot more first TE programming this 
month. So, they're they're going to when they're  
[24:24] doing programming, the range is closed. So, uh 
that's it's going to take a little bit of a hit,  
[24:28] but it does every year. Merchandise sales 
were those guys are up about 20 $21,000 for  
[24:35] the year. Um Steve's up 11,000. He's been doing 
demo days, which have been pretty well for him  
[24:42] with demo outside. outside. So, yeah, and I think 
you got another one coming up which is full. So,  
[24:49] uh really really good participation there. 
Total revenue uh we are up $350,000 this  
[24:58] year over last year and in the month of May 
alone we hit $99,000 which is a record mark  
[25:04] biggest month we've ever had. So, um, even 
with the the change in the programs and the  
[25:09] I think we went 12 11 days on the old program 
and then the rest of the month on this program,  
[25:14] um, there was definitely a little bit of revenue 
that we lost just because something wasn't working  
[25:19] and we aired on the on the side of the customer 
during some of those transactions. So, uh, really  
[25:24] obviously biggest month. I'm very happy with with 
that. What's membership look like? It's good. It's  
[25:31] strong. We He's getting new members like crazy. 
Um, yeah. No, we're we're up. I need to start  
[25:38] putting those back in here. We're probably the 
highest count we've had. I would be sick. Yeah,  
[25:45] I think we probably have more members right now 
than what we've had any time up in here. So,
[25:51] okay. So, that's [clears throat] that. And then I 
don't know if you've had a chance to to look over  
[25:55] this. I sent an email, but um there's nothing 
really. Our expenses are up a little bit. We're  
[25:59] putting a little bit more. Um it's a lot of 
timing issues. A lot of the um chemicals and  
[26:06] different applications that we've bought for the 
course. We did a bulk order at the first of the  
[26:09] year which saved money but we did it all at the 
first of the year instead of spreading it out. So  
[26:14] uh they're higher now but as a year goes on 
that level off as we won't be buying what we  
[26:19] bought in the later months that we did last 
year. Um our flavor costs are up a little bit  
[26:27] which is expected and not a bad thing. We have 
a little bit. We're not where we want to be,  
[26:32] but we're closer this year than we were last year. 
Um, especially in maintenance. For some reason,  
[26:38] maintenance has had much more luck this year 
finding people, which is huge, obviously. So,  
[26:44] um, that's that's been a little better this year. 
Um, one thing I'm not sure of, I've tried to get  
[26:49] an answer today. Our fuel cost is way up this 
year compared to last year, and I don't know the  
[26:54] 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,  
[26:58] I've got to figure out why this reflects that. And 
then one more thing to note on here on the capital  
[27:04] equipment. Um, we charge a couple of pieces 
of equipment to the general fund that will be  
[27:09] transferred to the the equipment fund, but it's 
not the debt transfer hasn't been done yet. So,  
[27:14] it's showing as an expense here that will 
be taking. Is that what the 85 is? I think  
[27:18] that's what cont 85,000. That's clearly not 
corresponding budget. That's right. Yeah. Okay.
[27:30] So, all in all, pretty pretty happy where we're 
at. I think um with a lot of the expenses being  
[27:34] frontloaded this year, as we keep going, our our 
profit net revenue is going to going to continue  
[27:40] to go up a little bit quicker than what it could 
last year for the second half of the year. So,  
[27:46] banquetss and stuff been out here. I'm making 
a little push for that last year. Yeah,  
[27:51] we've honestly kind of slowed down a little 
bit with that push just because staffing. Yeah,  
[27:55] like I I don't I don't feel good about having 
an event and two days before the event we have  
[28:00] someone that's crushed us with a wedding and we 
have no idea how we're going to execute it because  
[28:03] we have two people work. So, um yeah, we've kind 
of slowed down a little bit on that. If these  
[28:10] two didn't come in and help, there would have 
been a couple of disasters out here this year.
[28:16] Okay. Any other questions on [snorts]
[28:22] to answer your question, Marcia? 
It was just under $125 and it's  
[28:27] 1225 and 20. So we're about to about 
same a little bit higher. Thank you.
[28:39] [clears throat]
[28:39] Continuation of prior business open board seats. 
Okay. So we have the the two seats that are open.  
[28:48] I'll start with the kind of aronomy specialist. Uh 
that's as we've talked about many times, that's an  
[28:54] extremely difficult position to fill and I've 
had no applicants that really have golf course  
[28:59] experience. We tried to reach out and find with 
no interest. Um I did have an application online  
[29:05] u from Miss Jane Alderson. Um she plays in the 
business women's league at MAC. Um talked to  
[29:11] her on the phone. Maybe when I see her, I'll 
recognize her. But um she has over 20 years  
[29:16] experience in environmental um engineering, storm 
water design, all the like I feel like we we have  
[29:23] a good grasp on grass. Some of the stuff that 
she is an expert in, that's where we, you know,  
[29:28] we storm water drainage. That's not really 
our world. So um she was definitely I talked  
[29:34] her on the phone for a while yesterday. 
She's definitely extremely interested.  
[29:37] The issue with her is the only night she cannot 
come to a board meeting is Tuesday nights. So,  
[29:44] um she's by far in my opinion of all the 
applications I have for that specific position,  
[29:48] she's the most qualified. Uh but we would need 
to as a group decide if we want to try to pick  
[29:54] a different different day. I'm sorry. Did 
you say last name is Alderson? A L D R S O  
[30:01] N. Okay. because that was not what you asked me 
about. They were probably talking into it. Oh,  
[30:11] probably. Do you know her? Not even with the 
name change, but [laughter] but I but I asked a  
[30:19] few other people just to see if anybody knew her 
and nobody did under the name. Oh, yeah. Which  
[30:24] worried me just a little bit, but maybe they would 
know her under that other correct. Yep. Sorry. Um,
[30:35] is there a possibility to maybe have one of our 
superintendants come on board because they would  
[30:43] know so much about the grasses and I mean in 
this area because they've all done this for  
[30:50] years and years and years and they kind of have 
the expertise of I think or is that I think the  
[30:58] point is for this board to guide the employees 
so that would kind of be the employees got. Okay.  
[31:03] Okay. I just I just was curious because they 
seem the most knowledgeable about Yeah. Yeah.  
[31:09] particular subject and yeah maybe not God but get 
feedback and bounce ideas off but I Yeah. I don't
[31:20] um
[31:27] I just curious. Yeah. um turned into a staff me 
pretty quick. Just get old staff on this board.  
[31:36] No. Um so yeah, I just with her background 
and her experience and she plays golf and  
[31:44] it's definitely eager to try to come on and help. 
Uh I think she'd be a great addition. I just the  
[31:50] the hurdle was the time Tuesdays would not work 
for her. So if this is the only time we have,  
[31:55] I can let her know. We can we can try to 
go a different way. But I wanted to float  
[31:59] that out and see. I know it's not easy 
to get seven people that all have a day  
[32:04] every month that works for everybody's 
schedule, but um I don't even know what
[32:14] Monday trying to avoid. We don't know 
there's leagues and different things,  
[32:18] but if we switch to a Monday with the 
third Monday instead of third Tuesday,
[32:26] I personally could probably Monday
[32:31] or Tuesday. Yeah. [clears throat] What' 
you say? You better check with the boss.  
[32:40] You don't [clears throat] know 
what you can do yet. [laughter]
[32:46] will be done by six. You'll 
be able to make it up by 10.
[32:52] Anybody on the left side of that? Yeah, the 
the one I'm looking at strong um he's been  
[32:59] here several times. Kent, he's the parkboard 
liaison. He's the barber, but he also has an  
[33:04] online golf store that that he's ran for a lot. Um 
I'm sure you remember him talking about. Um he has  
[33:11] definite interest and he plays a lot of golf at 
all courses. So he's very familiar and sees them  
[33:17] all a lot. Um and he plays with JV a lot on the 
council which I think is a benefit. Is that the  
[33:22] gentleman that saw him with the park board? He he 
reached out immediately and asked if there was a  
[33:28] way he could transfer because this is really he's 
on park board because he wanted to be involved in  
[33:31] golf and that's a very small part of park board. 
So he he wants to be on this board. I think he's  
[33:36] uh think he has the knowledge in there. He 
he plays so much golf that he sees a lot and  
[33:45] talks to a lot of people familiar with how 
the city operates as well. Right. Right. I  
[33:49] I play with him text and so he didn't know 
I was on the board till I came. Okay. I saw  
[33:54] him the next time. I didn't know you were 
on board and I was like yeah I didn't. So  
[34:00] he was like I'm really trying to get over from 
this side to this side. names explained to me  
[34:04] and so yeah he's he's good guy one one thing 
I've taken from him that I like is even if  
[34:14] we've made a decision that doesn't benefit him 
personally he's always quick to say well that's  
[34:19] for everybody that's me it's not just looking 
out for himself which I certainly appreciate so  
[34:26] uh yeah so those are the two going through the 
application the different things through the two  
[34:30] that I I liked personally Um just again that that 
holder but if we can change it to Monday and I'll  
[34:37] figure out how that works. If we can change it to 
Mondays and everyone's okay with that, we can do  
[34:41] the third Monday and then I can I can let her 
know about them votes in the next meeting and
[34:49] there's a I got to figure out council has 
to approval. I think I put them on a consent  
[34:54] consent agenda or something. I'll figure 
that out. Um and then the next meeting we  
[35:00] would need to elect officers and then probably 
need to get sworn in again. Uh I think we're  
[35:05] actually we need to we need to make sure 
next meeting we'll handle all that stuff.  
[35:11] get this one in again. Elect officers 
and hopefully have to board yourself
[35:21] questions about seats. You said we went to third 
Monday, right? That's what I Yeah, let me I'll  
[35:30] I'll email um everyone and let me see what all 
who's involved in that because I don't think  
[35:36] there's a date or anything in the BS. So I don't 
think there'll be any change. Just some bubbling  
[35:40] on this one. We'll be good update the website for 
more. Okay. Moving on. Uh irrigation updates. Good  
[35:51] news. We um went through the RFP process with the 
irrigation design um firms and we selected less  
[36:01] hill irrigation of just outside Houston, Texas. Um 
I go to council on July 7th, but he's wanting to  
[36:08] come up even before that and go ahead and so he's 
gonna come up Mon Tuesday and Wednesday of next  
[36:13] week, spend one day he's spending Tuesday here, 
Wednesday at text. Um and he's going to just kind  
[36:19] of do what what he does and we'll we'll spend 
most of the days on those two portions and then  
[36:25] uh he's going to go back and get started on the 
design. And he's very eager to move this process  
[36:30] along so that we can meet the timelines that we 
need to meet to get this done. both of them. So  
[36:36] we we went through a long interviews with three 
different firms and it was unanimous that that  
[36:42] that's that was who everyone on the selection 
panel liked and that's who we're going with. So  
[36:48] um so far conversations have been great. Um and 
I'm I'm very happy that we're we're going to be  
[36:53] moving forward pretty quickly. So is that they 
large enough to handle both projects? I know  
[37:00] they probably simultaneously. So all he does is 
a design and then from there we use his design  
[37:06] to bid out the work. Okay. So we're going to 
bid those out separately so that if one firm  
[37:12] has the capability to handle both they can bid 
on both and get it or we don't want to limit to  
[37:18] people don't bid because they can't do that. So 
we'll bid those out separately. Should be pretty  
[37:23] clear pretty quick process and he'll part of his 
job is he oversees that bid process as well. So,  
[37:28] uh, yeah, we should be should be pretty, uh, 
pretty smooth hopefully from from here on out.  
[37:33] I think the hardest part was just getting the 
ball rolling and then from now it just kind of  
[37:37] you just follow the steps and keep keep it. So, 
and and Mac is completely done. Completely done.  
[37:44] Locked up. Yep. Buttoned up. They're out. Uh, Mac 
is really changed a lot over the last month. Um,  
[37:53] we did have some pizza parts on the greens over 
the past week. um while I was out there. I've got  
[37:58] 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  
[38:03] it was at 3 months ago with all the work that was 
out there and where when we played it last time  
[38:07] it was not there and it's way better now. It's 
amazing actually how far it's came. I know you  
[38:15] talked about they were going to oversee with blue 
I got Yeah, we're talk about that too. Sorry. No,  
[38:24] you're good. Yeah. Um, I'm very excited 
about that. We'll get into that in a minute,  
[38:27] but yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Uh, any more 
questions about irrigation comments?
[38:36] Good. Okay. On to automated mower mechanics. 
I think last time we met it was right before  
[38:44] I went to Waw Country Club to demo 
the uh the Toro, the the big mower.  
[38:50] um spent I don't know over an hour 
out there with them and it's got that  
[38:56] one on the right. Yep. On the top 
right. Um it's definitely cool. Um
[39:04] there's a lot of good and bad which is true 
with all of them. Um the setup I think is  
[39:12] not the easiest thing in the world. They 
said once they got through the first two  
[39:16] months of headaches now it's working pretty 
good and they kind of got it figured out. Um
[39:25] I don't [clears throat] I don't know that it's 
quite there yet for what we're trying to do. I  
[39:30] mean there's so many it's got to have a path to 
get from one spot to the other. Wtop Country Club  
[39:35] is so confined in that spot that it's easy. 
It has paths to go. When it gets to a bridge  
[39:39] it will not cross a bridge. So, they have to 
go. Basically, it sends you an alert saying,  
[39:45] "Hey, Dad, I'm stuck. Can you come get 
me? You got to go out there." Has a spot  
[39:49] that it pulls over. Um, once it finishes 
one hole, it sends you a message saying,  
[39:55] "I'm done with whatever number four. Am I clear 
to go to whatever you have program number seven,  
[40:00] whatever." And so, the purpose of that, 
they want you to drive the area prior,  
[40:05] make sure there's no puddles, make sure there's 
no winds, whatever down, which is good. Um, so
[40:15] they were trying to be nice. I don't 
know that they were 100% thrilled with  
[40:19] all the work they've had to put into kind 
of felt like they had spent more hours than  
[40:24] they would have if they would have just 
made the fairway. But now going forward,  
[40:27] I think it seemed like they had a pretty 
good had it set up pretty well. So,  
[40:31] um, I don't know. I just feel like that bigger 
mower maybe is not quite there. And the more I've  
[40:38] researched and talked to various superintendents, 
there's a lot of frustrations with those. Uh,  
[40:43] so they use uh RTK technology as far as navigation 
and GPS satellites. Do they also have cameras and  
[40:52] sensors and stuff on there that will pick up 
objects or whatever and not? Yeah. Not golf  
[40:59] balls that'll just push those, but anything 
bigger. Yeah. I don't remember what it said.  
[41:04] 8 in I play guitar I think is what he said. Um 
and it will it'll stop and it'll actually skip  
[41:10] that and come back and follow that same 
pattern. Um it is pretty neat some of the  
[41:14] stuff you can have the entire golf course where 
the mole lines are exactly within a quarter of  
[41:18] an inch same across the entire golf course. 
Pretty cool if the trick I guess. Yeah. Um,
[41:30] and like when it hit a low, like it was pretty 
neat. It's pretty intuitive. Like it it did a  
[41:36] 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  
[41:44] believe. 60. It's It's the exact mower we use in 
the some of like the Greens Mowers and everything.  
[41:51] It's just the It's got the automation on the back. 
So, um, what kind of price are we looking at for  
[41:57] that one? 145,000. And like I mentioned last time, 
we they have that they offer in that plan where  
[42:03] you can rent it monthto month for 4500, I think, 
and then if you purchase it that every dollar you  
[42:12] put goes toward purchase of the machine. So, um, 
I just feel like you would need it at least three  
[42:18] months before you even knew if you liked it or 
not, just because it's going to take forever  
[42:21] to do it. Do they have any uh antennas or line of 
sight that's needed for this to navigate or is it  
[42:33] he knows it's now he said if there were big trees 
that it could be a problem again country close  
[42:40] fairly open but he said there are a couple spots 
even on that course that they've it's hit that  
[42:44] just kind of don't know what to do so you get an 
alert um so they again had to reprogram the route  
[42:51] to avoid a couple of those places. So, yeah, 
back with the many trees that are there. Yeah,  
[42:57] I'm thinking of course and saying, you know, Sim 
is fairly tight to where you would think it could  
[43:03] get from one to 10 or you know, like salmon tax 
would be very easy for those pretty well side to  
[43:13] side. There's no big ponds road nothing like that. 
Um, so let me show you this real quick. At Mac,  
[43:22] we've got the It's not one of these. The next 
mold, the smaller mower. This is a picture of Mac  
[43:28] from Thursday, I believe. Um, it's hard to see, 
but it does the lines and he started he's probably  
[43:34] put in I don't know, eight different zones now. 
And each he'll just take carry that to that zone,  
[43:40] let it loose, come back, move it to the next, 
whatever. ates this on a little trailer. It  
[43:44] takes five minutes and it he's been doing all 
the around the practice areas. He did the first  
[43:48] tea area here that's better without the slide 
here all around the clubhouse. I mean it's that  
[43:59] really that's mowing like rough, right? That's 
uh I mean that's a Yep. And we actually bought a  
[44:06] second one of these. It was delivered today. 
So he's going to expand. Um he's looking at  
[44:12] areas that are kind of close together. Four or 
five green 5t box that area. Um he's looking  
[44:20] at several different areas but does a phenomenal 
job. And these cost about just under $5,000. Um
[44:30] definitely when you pull up and see that 
it looks a lot better than straight line.  
[44:37] What's the mode time on that one? I mean, 
can it go hour and a half, two hours?
[44:46] Have to come back and charge. It does. 
Um, I've looked at some of these.
[44:53] Hold on. Let's see.
[44:59] Or's got another one like this, 
but it's got a 90 minute. Um,  
[45:04] it can go for 110 minutes and then it needs 
to charge for 90 minutes. These, I think,  
[45:10] are a little bit longer and it's not enough. 
So, with these, you actually have a charging  
[45:15] station out there somewhere. So you would have 
to have infrastructure to have electricity in  
[45:21] several weeks. He brings it to the shop. 
So when it when it needs to be charged,  
[45:28] it lets you know. He just brings it. He just 
brings them over. It's just a tiny trailer  
[45:33] that it fits on perfectly. Yeah. Well, I I have 
seen some things online about some solar powered  
[45:39] chargers now that they're they're getting to where 
we're applicable for some of this stuff to where  
[45:44] you don't have to have the infrastructure with, 
you know, electricity and stuff out everywhere.
[45:53] Yeah. I mean, that's one of the [snorts] one of 
the main issues at the port is you're going to  
[45:58] have to have electricity all over the course. 
You're going have to have stations all over  
[46:01] the course. uh you're bringing in unfortunately 
in our world potential vandalism and who knows  
[46:09] what see him today doing a course right around 
and the three of the team markers were stolen  
[46:14] today [snorts] got to a where are the blue 
T's he's like they're not there so two of both  
[46:20] blue team markers and one of the white markers 
[snorts] um so if you put a $5,000 machine I'm  
[46:26] guessing it's probably going to get stolen too 
or kicked or broken or busted or who knows what  
[46:31] Yeah. Tag on them or something. Yeah. And they 
have um GPS tracking built into them. So we we  
[46:41] would know where it's at. But we I know there's 
a story I think we've talked about in it here.  
[46:46] It just they tracked it to the department, but the 
police were like, we can't we know it's in there,  
[46:51] but good luck. Can't do anything about it. So, um 
does make a nice line. Yeah. I mean, I don't know,  
[47:03] honestly, probably five of these. We could It 
does a lot. It does a big area pretty quick,  
[47:09] a lot quicker than what you think. Like, you 
watch it and then you quit paying attention  
[47:12] for 10 minutes and come back and it's knocked 
out a huge section. Just non-stop goes. So,  
[47:17] so just have those little 6 in 
blades like the crest thing.
[47:25] You said five maybe. Did you get that idea for 
the areas that we There's some areas that it's  
[47:30] not going to do great. So, we'd still mow a lot of 
the areas, but we could have the zones that we've  
[47:34] kind of identified that this would be good at. We 
could probably add five of these and it would do  
[47:38] almost half the golf course if we know I was just 
surprised by that number a little bit because I  
[47:43] played a tournament at Reflection last week and 
um I know they had a lot more. I think they all 22  
[47:52] what I heard. Yeah, I believe that they were going 
constantly. Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah. How did it  
[47:57] look up there? I'm g try. It was beautiful. Yeah. 
Except we were of course commenting that the rough  
[48:03] was really deep um [clears throat] and tough. It 
was dense. Yes. And somebody said, I don't know  
[48:10] how much they knew that because the the clippings 
all down in that that's one reason their rough is  
[48:16] so dense because they're constantly being cut and 
five that is. But I do know that it was well to  
[48:24] get the ball out of that rough. [laughter] I 
played last year before they got these mowers  
[48:29] 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  
[48:35] the rough like 11 hoes in a row. Yeah. And I held 
him with that myself. Yeah. Trying to hit over a  
[48:41] bunker. Good luck as well and stuff. So anyway, 
yeah, I think um it was in beautiful shape. I  
[48:49] mean, I know we've had a lot of rain and there's 
a lot of good things that have happened for grass  
[48:53] growing, but those mowers do keep it real sharp. 
Yeah, they're so precise. It's unfortunately you  
[48:59] can't you can't keep a cut to a quarter of an 
inch. He said, "May that's perfect." That's Yeah,  
[49:06] just like that guy from Chris said that one time 
when he was up here. I think we asked him if it  
[49:10] could bow us apart over here and it was a little 
bit taller and he said no. He said it's more of a  
[49:14] maintenance type mo than a cutting stuff down. 
Well, that's the thing. Sometimes you couldn't  
[49:20] tell where it had been. It was doing the up and 
back thing and I was like, you almost couldn't  
[49:25] tell where it had been. They're cutting it that 
frequently. Yeah. If you get a huge rain and it  
[49:29] some reason you can't get them out there think 
it's too wet in the grass where you're probably  
[49:32] going to have to knock it down to that level and 
then put them back out. So, yeah, there's they're  
[49:37] not you can't just 100% walk away and think 
you're you're done mowing rough forever. But,  
[49:43] they definitely do a good do a good job. So, I 
don't know. I said update on here. I think just  
[49:49] I'm I don't think those big machines are quite 
where they're going to end up yet. And I just  
[49:57] don't want to spend 150 grand to next year the one 
we want comes out. And I [clears throat] feel like  
[50:05] a lot of the little ones cost you more. Yes. 
Yeah. Yeah. And the technology is just getting  
[50:11] better and better and better. It's it's going to 
get there where you want it, right? pretty quickly
[50:22] too with the irrigation
[50:27] spot that all take care of.
[50:37] Yeah. Um the last two are 
the big two. So we'll see.  
[50:45] So we're on the for Mac for another 60,000,000
[50:51] something like that. [clears throat] 
What we have left 600 600 33,600
[51:02] hypothetically you can knock 
that one out like you did soon.
[51:12] Yep.
[51:15] Okay, I hope that's an option at the end of 
the year already discussed. [laughter] So,  
[51:21] where are we on these? What is the next step? 
Or are we still just conjuring? Yeah, still  
[51:27] I mean I think I want to we're going to add the 
second one at night tomorrow and start getting it  
[51:31] set up and then they do have a we have 9 in this 
again if I'm giving you correct information. Uh
[51:48] Yeah, 9 in. They have the same mower we 
have in a 14 in. Um, it's just not much  
[51:52] more. It's a 1500 more. Um, so we're looking at 
probably if we expand going to that bigger unit  
[51:59] just so it's obviously it's going to cut the M 
time down and get a lot more done quicker. So,  
[52:04] um, yeah, I would like to Ron's all he's all 
in on he's got really good at setting this up  
[52:09] and so he a couple weeks ago he or I don't know 
a month ago he started working at adding zones  
[52:15] to the one that we currently have and he did it 
enough and messed up enough he figured out how  
[52:20] to do it pretty pretty good though. So, um I I 
kind of want to just turn him loose on let's get  
[52:25] two or three two or three of these out here and 
see if we like that and we can keep expanding.  
[52:31] I mean at some point if they really work we 
could go on in spend 60,000 and have several  
[52:36] weeks going. The thing I like about these are is 
that you you don't leave them on the course. We  
[52:42] bring them into the shop. I just don't think leave 
it on the course. I don't think they last a week  
[52:46] without some kind of problem. So this is one by 
four and five. Is that what you were saying? No,  
[52:53] that that's where he's going to add next round 
for right there in the corner where you pull in  
[52:57] to the golf course. So as you pull in, you'll 
have me that first impression is big and that  
[53:03] that would be a good spot for it and it's 
perfect for this thing. So Okay. Uh but yeah,  
[53:07] right now he's got all the practice area, the 
first T practice area, all up practice area  
[53:11] around the um clubhouse. Both practice screens. 
Number 10 T box behind number one T box number 17
[53:22] may be all he has right now, but that's 
one mower at the moment. It looks
[53:32] I do like the letter. Yeah, number 17. 
That That's a picture. I didn't pull out  
[53:40] right. It looks He sent me a picture when 
I was in Greece. It's awesome. So, yeah.
[53:53] What's the brand name of these? Next. Next.  
[53:56] Yeah. Okay. We get them through Run 
Landscaping, which is their distrib.
[54:22] Uh this has been ongoing for several months now. 
We as if you play out here, you know our bridges,  
[54:27] especially on three and seven. We have 
two that are terrible. They're falling  
[54:30] through. We got John Ho patch with plywood 
and all that. We had engineers come out.  
[54:35] Um of course that that front line is in a flood 
plane. So anything we do has to be approved. We  
[54:41] have that walking bridge. We can't even take 
that out without them approving everything.  
[54:45] We can't even go in and bust that out cuz we 
want to make sure no debris gets in the creek  
[54:50] that's going to float down where we don't 
want to make sure we're not doing anything  
[54:53] to the bank that's going to cause any kind of 
disruption to that that flood plane the land.  
[54:58] So it's just not the rails on that walking 
bridge. The substructure underneath is part
[55:08] the concrete underneath the the dirt should 
be to the end. It's about 4 and 1/2 ft back  
[55:13] right now. There's just concrete suspended 
in there with nothing to pull it up. So,  
[55:18] it was as soon as that was looked at, it 
was immediate shut that down right now. So,  
[55:23] um yeah, and we're we're going to take it out. 
Um it would have to be completely rebuilt and  
[55:27] replaced anyway. So, we're going to get it cut 
out. Um so, I'll go to that in a second. The  
[55:33] cart bridges, we're going to just They did look 
at every the substructure, everything's fine and  
[55:37] just the top need to be needs to be replaced. 
So, we're working on getting uh contractors  
[55:44] Seven. Yeah, seven and uh three. The second 
ridge on three. Those are the two we're going  
[55:48] to start with. Um so, uh we're working on 
getting a contractor to come out and and  
[55:53] do that work. I have no idea what to expect on 
the cross yet. Um hopefully I'll have that by  
[55:59] the hopefully I'll have somebody out by the end 
of the week and hopefully next week that um have  
[56:08] we ever considered putting a foot bridge between 
three four between six and seven? Uh five and six
[56:19] cut through those trees. Yeah. And people walk 
bridge not a cart bridge. Right. I've never seen  
[56:28] a lot of walking for some of the people out 
there. We haven't talked about that. Well,  
[56:32] we I mean for a new since we're city, we have to 
follow everything. We have to even though it's a  
[56:38] foot bridge, we have to have engineers and it's 
it's not a it turns into quite an expense. You  
[56:44] wouldn't think you would think something you could 
do for five grand ends up being 55 grand. So,  
[56:49] um no, I Yeah, that would cut down a lot for the 
walkers for sure. That impact me carving. Yeah.  
[56:56] Everything with the cows we have to go through 
engineers. Yeah. It's just Yeah. And that side  
[57:01] or maybe not the bridge if we put one five six 
but everything over there being deploy makes  
[57:06] it so much so much more complicated. Um so yeah 
we're going to get the contractors on the those  
[57:12] two bridge get that the top load replaced those 
should be fine. The walking bridge is going to  
[57:17] going to go. So get permanently we're not gonna 
we're not going to try to replace it. I'm gonna  
[57:23] get into that. So, I'm going to get your opinion 
on something. No, you're sorry. It's not clear on  
[57:28] here. Um I understand walking that's a long way 
around. So, I've got Yeah, we'll get to that in  
[57:38] a second. Yeah. Um I'm I'm hoping what I've come 
up with would be a better solution than trying to  
[57:44] replace that bridge where it's at current. So, 
I'll get your opinion. We'll get to that here  
[57:48] in a second. So, yeah, update on the bridge. We 
don't have to replace those. I was really worried  
[57:53] they were going to tell me the cartridges we're 
going to have to completely tear down and replace,  
[57:56] which would have been astronomical, but 
we're not going to have to do that. So,  
[57:59] that's that's good enough. It's good. Is there 
anything that we can replace them with that  
[58:05] doesn't deteriorate with weathering stuff like any 
type of composits or TX type material? Anything  
[58:12] that maybe would last longer or better? If we 
do that, we're replacing Well, I don't know.
[58:25] is the subure underneath those all wood. 
Um, yeah, there's a concrete base and then  
[58:32] wood from there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah. I 
mean, that's something I'll ask the contractor  
[58:37] when they come out. What are our options here? 
Let's see. I I don't I don't want to tell you  
[58:41] guys. I I don't know. I don't know what how you 
I don't know what you need underneath that stuff  
[58:46] and forward it to your old. I would assume 
you could, but I don't know for sure. Yeah.  
[58:50] that track stop material would be fantastic. 
I'm pretty good friends with a guy that owns  
[58:56] it's called Lynx Bridges. They're out of Canada, 
but that's what they do as golf course bridges,  
[58:59] both walking and cart bridges. And they they're 
prefabricated in one piece and they come in and  
[59:04] set them and install them. Um they go up to 53 ft 
long. It's their longest bridge, but it's all that  
[59:10] composite attraction material. So once you put 
it in, you're pretty much in your lifetime again.
[59:25] We're looking at this picture here. I 
think I jumped ahead. I think that's a  
[59:28] little bit big. Definitely did. Oh, don't look 
at that. Okay. [laughter] [clears throat] No,  
[59:34] that's all on the on the bridges. 
I'll talk about this in a This is  
[59:37] number seven out here. So, at Auburn. So, 
I'll talk about that in a second. That's  
[59:40] a terrible terrible. Are you just Are you 
sharing that right now? Yeah. Yeah. speak
[59:50] said to me. Um, okay. Yeah. So, with the bridges, 
I guess with the I'll have a cost by the next  
[59:57] meeting or we may go ahead and move forward 
and get that done. Okay. And focusing just  
[1:00:00] on those two that you mentioned with those 
are the two that need immediate attention.  
[1:00:04] I think over time we can develop a plan where 
we we started not not just here but all of our  
[1:00:08] bridges are we did redid some at right when I 
started that was already in progress. Smack has  
[1:00:14] a couple that are okay. They have a couple 
that need repair as a bridge tag something.
[1:00:24] I got here
[1:00:33] walking bridge. We're thinking maybe 
just going away do away with that. Yeah,  
[1:00:39] I'll I'll go on that new I'll go over that 
plan and get your thoughts and and maybe I  
[1:00:43] got two options here. either doing away with it 
or moving the bridge to a different spot. So,  
[1:00:48] let me let me show you my idea to 
talk through. [clears throat] Okay.
[1:00:57] Okay. So, that all for you know. Yeah. Okay. 
New items for consideration cashless in 2027. So  
[1:01:12] talking to the city, we are going to go cashless 
in 2027. So we're going to push out notification.  
[1:01:20] Um that's something they're wanting to do in all 
departments. Of course, we take other than the  
[1:01:24] water department, we probably take the most cash 
of anybody or most payments of of any division. So  
[1:01:30] um Tulsa's their golf division went cashless April 
15th. I've talked to him. He said it was two weeks  
[1:01:38] of just getting people to know that they're 
cashless and then it's been great. Uh we have a  
[1:01:43] lot of issues with cash handling. Um nothing major 
but every day there's 10 bucks, 12 bucks, eight  
[1:01:51] bucks in it. With the city, they think everything 
should be exact. And some of my previous courses,  
[1:01:59] if we were off $4, they've been like, "That's 
awesome." Right. But the city, if we're off  
[1:02:03] a penny, they won't be spend 22 hours looking 
for that penny. Yeah. So, I think businesswise  
[1:02:09] it makes total sense. Yeah. We're going to have 
some folks like it. [clears throat] Yeah. We're  
[1:02:14] definitely going to have some folks that aren't 
happy. Uh we've even floated the idea. They have a  
[1:02:19] u it's called a reverse ATM. So, for the first 
couple of months, we could put a machine in there  
[1:02:24] where you buy basically a gift card or [clears 
throat] Yeah, it's a universal gift card. It's  
[1:02:28] like going to deal and buy a gift card some um and 
they would keep their window cost as they get the  
[1:02:34] revenue the percentage of that. Yeah. The other 
thing is you might think about getting ahead of  
[1:02:40] getting it now ahead of this a little bit and 
starting to put this out to people that it is  
[1:02:44] coming. That's why we're sorry you interrupted. 
That's why we're going to do it in 2027 January  
[1:02:50] 1 because I want to do a minimum of a 90-day 
campaign. So we're going to get all that together.  
[1:02:54] We're going to start October 1st putting that 
out. So we have three four months of blasting  
[1:03:00] at last. Yeah. Getting used to the idea. I mean 
I not everybody will like it but yeah business  
[1:03:08] I think it makes sense from a business standpoint 
man I mean I spend so much time on cash issues. U
[1:03:18] more than I want to. Nikki's fantastic all over 
her death, but we spend way more time than we  
[1:03:23] should and way too much of her time trying to find 
20 bucks that was missing from last Tuesday. You  
[1:03:29] know, it happens every day. So, yeah. Um, and then 
the training that has to go involved the I mean,  
[1:03:34] at the end of the night, all the counting down 
all the three registers trying to figure out  
[1:03:38] what's what. Now, it's you put close credit cards 
are all integrated. You can't you can't be off  
[1:03:44] on the credit cards. Is that right? Yeah. Would 
there be a possibility to put uh an extra tab on  
[1:03:51] the receipt for a tip for the health or is that 
I know the city's not big on tips. No, they're  
[1:03:59] absolutely not possible. But but no, no, no. I've 
talked to Mark Manning who's the head of finance  
[1:04:06] and he is on board with it. He is his opinion is 
we can figure this out. [snorts] Um he's like I  
[1:04:12] don't see why we can't do that. So, we're working 
through that. There's a lot of I think now with  
[1:04:17] new management in the city. U that idea might 
be received a little better. These these kids,  
[1:04:23] they're young kids, they're not getting paid. 
No. Anything. And I feel bad for I tip from  
[1:04:32] giving cash. Well, we have people that get mad all 
the time. They try to give a tip and we can't and  
[1:04:36] they get they think I'm the one they're chosen, 
you know, that we can't do this. So they get mad  
[1:04:41] at me like bad. My granddaughter works at the uh 
[clears throat] club concession area. She gets  
[1:04:50] 10 10 bucks an hour and 8% of hotel. Yeah. Yeah. 
I'm I definitely all for it. The only issue I've  
[1:04:59] always had with that is you got a golf course 
where you got whoever's outside cleaning carts  
[1:05:04] and they're busting their tail out there. They 
don't get they get their 10 gets 12 bucks an hour.  
[1:05:10] somebody's in here in the air conditioner 
reading a book and helping a customer once  
[1:05:14] they're making 18 bucks an hour because 
that's that's just that's the history it  
[1:05:19] would it would be fine and I'm not advocating 
the other way because I same I want them to  
[1:05:26] get their opportunities the accounting pay 
side of it would be fun but that's one of the
[1:05:38] [laughter] The dumbest thing I've ever said,  
[1:05:40] I don't know how any of this works. The 
whole no tax on tips. Did that pass. So,  
[1:05:45] do you pay taxes up front on it? And then 
do you get a break individual when you
[1:05:53] let me ask you how many people should
[1:06:01] this scenario would be reported? Yeah. Yeah. 
So like so like terine it's member charge it's  
[1:06:07] reported on their cash but from the accounting 
standpoint if somebody leaves a dollar tip does $1  
[1:06:16] full dollar go on their check or is it taxed and 
then it goes so that they get the full dollar on  
[1:06:21] their check not No it's still taxed and then 
they got claim okay so the city would still  
[1:06:33] have to go through all those saying correctly. 
[snorts] That doesn't help. Yeah. And again,  
[1:06:40] once you go cashless and people are starting to 
be accustomed to that and they get there and these  
[1:06:45] these young kids need your tips, I mean you're 
like I don't have any cash because you guys don't  
[1:06:49] pay cash. That's been a fear of the staff with 
even the management how we keep anybody. Yeah,
[1:06:59] I I think after people get used to it probably it 
will take a little while. The director in Tulsa,  
[1:07:08] he said took two weeks to get through 
some of the people complaining. He said,  
[1:07:12] "Do you know what they did? They complained 
and then they pulled out." But he said it's  
[1:07:18] the best thing he said. It's like 20% of my job 
just went away. I don't have to do it anymore.  
[1:07:25] Nobody's got until the till afterwards or Yeah, 
I think we said this made this comment last time,  
[1:07:30] but I think think it'll make a difference in 
people who want to come in and just buy a candy  
[1:07:35] bar or somebody who wants just a soda. Maybe 
they'll maybe they'll still be willing to do  
[1:07:41] that. So, if you do that, then you have a certain 
minimum amount of money you have to spend because  
[1:07:46] there's going to be a fee associated with that. 
When the fee is a percentage of the sales really,  
[1:07:51] it's not like a per transaction fee. It's 
a percentage. Um what he said he found is  
[1:07:58] I mean younger people use a card for 52 cents a 
trader but they some people will be like I want  
[1:08:05] to use my card for $2. Can I give me one of those 
and one of those sell more? Yeah. So you kind of  
[1:08:10] upsell them. So I think the other part of that 
is we don't have to pay guard right now. We pay  
[1:08:15] guard the cash armor truck company. We paid 
them a ton of money to do all of our pickups.
[1:08:24] That's a big big expense. I get mad every time I 
approve those in how you spend that money. What  
[1:08:31] about if somebody wanted to come in and use their 
credit card but buy a gift card for their spouse  
[1:08:39] or something like that? Say, you know, I want 
to put $200 on a card and I want to give it to  
[1:08:44] to my wife or whatever. And then can they use the 
gift card as a card still? Is that people buy gift  
[1:08:52] cards just a little change and that's what someone 
could do is they could just a lot of people that  
[1:09:00] the reason they use cash is they can hide it from 
their spouse. So they they could buy a gift card  
[1:09:05] at the first year and I mean it sounds funny. 
[laughter] It sounds funny, [clears throat] but  
[1:09:13] you wouldn't believe how many wives think all they 
pay is the monthly membership and nothing else,  
[1:09:18] not knowing it's $15 for a card every 
day. My wife just keeps track of that. Oh,  
[1:09:24] yeah. She figures she can spend three times 
that. She's my old girl. Casino bingo.
[1:09:33] [laughter] Every time I complain, she said,  
[1:09:36] "We spend the golf 450 a month. 
Count the cards." [laughter]
[1:09:48] me recording. [laughter]
[1:09:52] That's one of the few things I'm quite vocal 
about. She tells me to shut up. 44 years I  
[1:09:58] know when to shut up. So, you're going to start 
blasting that out in October time frame. Yeah,  
[1:10:04] I'm working with our treasury. We got to get 
the policies in place and all the, you know,  
[1:10:09] the documentation up and then we're 
going to start marketing information  
[1:10:13] building. Yeah. And I think, you know, 
word of mouth people watching. Yes. We  
[1:10:18] think everything word of mouth gets out and 
spreads and people will the first Facebook  
[1:10:24] post that we make the comments will 
be pretty entertaining. It'll be fun.
[1:10:32] Yeah. That's uh pretty well was 
decided last yesterday. The final  
[1:10:40] meeting we've been we've had about 
five meetings about it. Not just golf,  
[1:10:43] but overall it's pretty well decided 
there. So that's what's going to happen.
[1:10:57] I [clears throat] was just thinking about our our 
league. We do things well a little different than  
[1:11:04] other leagues. That's what I brought up too. We 
got guys that throw five groups that throw five  
[1:11:07] bucks in and then they go buy a gift card winners 
or what, however they do it. So I think there's a  
[1:11:12] few things we're have to work through. We can find 
a way to work. Yeah. around it. Yeah. So, anyway,  
[1:11:20] uh any more thoughts on the cash slice thing? 
Okay. Uh credit card requirement for online  
[1:11:31] bucket. Something I wanted to do for a long 
time. So, using City of Denver as an example,  
[1:11:37] they have member sports. They require a member 
obviously would not have to do this, but anyone  
[1:11:42] that books a Ton would have to enter a credit 
card. It doesn't charge them. It just it tokenizes  
[1:11:47] it. Put it on file. That way if they don't show, 
we can charge them for that time. Right now,  
[1:11:51] 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.  
[1:11:57] When I do, there's nobody in front of me and they 
think that we just didn't book it. Well, those  
[1:12:02] people just didn't show up. We have no control 
of that. So, we do lose a lot of money. I think  
[1:12:06] we probably about it's hard to track because it 
may rain one day and I'm looking at trying to get  
[1:12:13] stats and I don't know what day it rain whatever. 
So, but I I think probably around 12% best I can  
[1:12:19] figure times that we boo or no shows. So, would 
you then because example soi I don't want to book  
[1:12:29] online because I have to put my credit card on 
there and I'm not sure if my buddy's going to  
[1:12:32] show up and I don't want to get stuck with that. 
So I pick up phone and call up tea time and then  
[1:12:37] I cancel. Would you still allow people to call 
in or is that going to be the end of because it's  
[1:12:42] going to start circulating just call in instead of 
do that then you're going to start getting phone  
[1:12:46] calls out. City of Denver on their website it 
says call in Tetons will not be taken because of  
[1:12:54] security issues. So they're saying they don't want 
to manually take your card the phone. I get that.  
[1:13:00] I think the the goal is to push if you're not 
going to show up, you give us notice, you're  
[1:13:04] fine. But if you just don't show up, we're going 
to charge you. I think that would encourage people  
[1:13:10] to actually care. Say, you have three people, 
you put your credit card, you looking for four,  
[1:13:14] one person doesn't show up, do you still get 
stuck with that person? So, what we could do,  
[1:13:19] so there's different courses that do it different 
ways. There's that option where you just charge  
[1:13:24] them whatever. There's an option where we charge a 
no-show fee. So maybe it's half of your green fee  
[1:13:28] or it's a flat $15 rate per per [ __ ] whatever 
that is. And that's something we would determine  
[1:13:34] not tonight, but we could determine that maybe 
next meeting. You can set it up for whatever  
[1:13:39] you want. Um, but right now there's no penalty 
at all for someone that doesn't show. We lose  
[1:13:45] so much and not just the revenue side. We lose TO. 
We obviously value. How many times is it that they  
[1:13:56] like if they don't show up they can't they got 
policy book but even there the staff still has  
[1:14:02] to be consistent and then every time you do that 
that person calls Darius and has 12 reasons why  
[1:14:11] that happened and I would say Dary is like I've 
heard it before thanks for calling. [laughter]
[1:14:20] So who's making decision and pushing the 
button in charge and then someone shows the  
[1:14:28] staff should do it there and then it system 
will suspend them after two and then if he  
[1:14:33] is to undo that suspension it'll call me and 
say here's the situation we can do here. So,  
[1:14:42] um, so you want 24 hours notice if someone's going 
to cancel, say, or approximately. Yeah, that way  
[1:14:50] you can do a 12 hour, but if they're teeing off 
at 10:00 in the morning, 12 hours is one o'clock  
[1:14:55] at night, you know, so 24 hours gives you that 
whatever time they're teeing off, they know that  
[1:15:01] time to do it for. [clears throat] And with this, 
does our current point of sale still have that  
[1:15:06] that feature of doing a blast when there's a time 
that's canled? That should be it's in one of their  
[1:15:15] next couple of updates, which they do every two 
weeks. So, they're they're close on that. And I  
[1:15:21] will say combination of those two would be pretty 
successful at keeping us Yeah. full. Yeah. I think  
[1:15:26] No, they're So, they're going to have a standby. 
Yeah. And by the Yeah. Right. I will say there  
[1:15:32] when they do their push out their updates every 
two weeks everything they've said it you get as  
[1:15:38] soon as you log in that day the screen pops up 
and says we've released updates click here to  
[1:15:42] see and get go through and read everything they've 
done there. They're pretty good. I mean everything  
[1:15:47] they've said so far has come through. So um yeah 
I think here in the next few weeks we'll have that  
[1:15:53] same. So did you say that it wasn't going to be 
for membership people or something? Yeah, if you  
[1:16:00] have a membership, we're not going to ask for your 
credit card like we have it. I don't know. I mean,  
[1:16:06] as typically that's not for members. That's for 
Greenfield players. That's who we would have taken  
[1:16:11] the money from. [snorts] You know what I mean? 
So, if you showed up, if you didn't show up,  
[1:16:15] we weren't expecting that money because you're 
a member. Not saying we didn't lose that Taton,  
[1:16:20] but members are not going to be happy. I got to 
give you a credit card every time I book a Ton.  
[1:16:26] So I think it's just for public public times 
and that's who would have paid when they got  
[1:16:34] here anyway. So and is [snorts] that going to be 
a no human involved automatic thing or will there  
[1:16:41] be a chance for extenduating circumstances 
in a car wreck on the way to the course? No,  
[1:16:46] you have to you have to mark it. Yeah, you have 
to pay them. And that's good. Like if the system  
[1:16:52] automatically did it and it starts raining, what a 
nightmare that would be. That's exactly what I was  
[1:16:59] saying. We get guys that call in in the morning 
and say it's raining. I'm not counting that,  
[1:17:03] you know, just not bad. The rest of us are going 
to play that, you know, some people don't want to  
[1:17:08] play in the rain. Well, some people can't do pads. 
Yeah. Walking. There are definitely reasons why  
[1:17:15] that happens. No show. No show will ever Yeah, 
it was all that. It was 78 degrees, 5 mph wind  
[1:17:23] and we had 8,000 people cussing us because they 
couldn't get a ton and didn't. And now we don't  
[1:17:29] we lost the T time and we lost the money. Okay. 
And that's the most every golf course in this  
[1:17:36] country. We're definitely on the back side of the 
I like that. Yeah. and I've had to work with again  
[1:17:47] with treasury and auditing and make sure that um 
we're covering all the legal parts of that. So  
[1:17:56] I think it's pretty simple. The good news is even 
with the cashless I've got city of Tulsa and I've  
[1:18:01] got a few other cities that have done it. So I can 
kind of I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I can  
[1:18:05] call these guys and hey send me everything 
you need. We can tweak it and what worked,  
[1:18:10] what didn't work. Kind of get that advice. Same 
with the city of Denver. call Steve and we can  
[1:18:15] get um all the everything they've got together for 
their verbiage and everything for the credit card  
[1:18:21] requirement so I don't have to start from scratch 
what they tweaked it to fit our needs I don't  
[1:18:28] mind stealing other people's just implement this 
in case you know there you want to tag for the  
[1:18:37] public they didn't do anything to members either 
just the public okay Yeah. Okay. Makes sense.
[1:18:50] Are we good with that? Pull up our beautiful. 
Okay. Path on number seven and all. All right. I  
[1:18:57] will say this picture when you're standing there, 
this makes a lot more sense because when I pulled  
[1:19:02] this up today trying to just get a visual for 
you, it it doesn't look as effective as what it  
[1:19:07] does when you're standing on the hole looking 
at it. So the big problem is you know this is  
[1:19:15] yeah so right now where am I at? Okay here's 
the tea box. So you got the black te's blue  
[1:19:20] here somewhere it's hard to see. So the look how 
green that grass is. [laughter] [clears throat]
[1:19:39] Okay. Where the green bridge is. Yeah. So 
right now the walking bridge is right here. So  
[1:19:45] as a walker you have you go here, you cross that 
bridge and then you're at the green. Without the  
[1:19:49] bridge you have to go way over here. walk clear 
across, come around the spawn to the AT box, and  
[1:19:56] go up. It's not showing the bottom of the screen. 
Yeah, it's a long walk. So, what we're looking at  
[1:20:01] is potentially having the cart path right here. 
It would cut across between the the lot and the  
[1:20:07] old I believe it is between those two two boxes. 
Come here, and it would come straight down. So,  
[1:20:12] as you walked, you wouldn't you would knock out 
this whole portion. Again, when you're standing  
[1:20:17] there, it looks way different and it's looks way 
more effective than when you're doing this. So,  
[1:20:22] you would come carts and walkers would come 
right here and go straight to the tea box,  
[1:20:26] park their stuff on the box, walk to the 
green, putt, whatever, things like that. So,  
[1:20:30] knock out all this section as a walker uh 
without putting a bridge. The other option  
[1:20:36] is if that's still too much and we still 
have complaints, there's a section right  
[1:20:44] here that or right here that's a lot smaller to 
cross than it is over here where we're at. So,  
[1:20:51] I wish we could go out there because this looks 
probably doesn't even make sense to you, but  
[1:20:57] um I don't know. So, we would do away with this 
part of the path and then just have it come  
[1:21:03] through here, which I I like the paths that kind 
of cut the tea box in half. I think we don't have  
[1:21:07] any of those here. Um, just a perfect thing. But, 
[snorts] um, how far from the front T's? It again,  
[1:21:17] not as far over here is what it looks. It's 
probably right here. It would be beside those.  
[1:21:23] It would be kind beside the T- left side of 
the T-s as you're looking at the green. Yeah.
[1:21:30] I almost want to get a car drive out there. 
So you could actually when you're there it's  
[1:21:33] like oh yeah that would be so much easier. 
It would cut off that whole long walk that  
[1:21:38] you have to do and then you would end up right 
on the next T- box where you're at anyway. Um,  
[1:21:44] if we did that without bidding a bridge, 
we could do that concrete work probably for
[1:21:52] 12 to 15,000 and um not have to build that 
bridge, which would require engineering,  
[1:21:59] everybody permits, and [snorts] 37 years of 
paperwork to get done. So, I hate to be dumb,  
[1:22:06] but about these kind of things. I am. So, they 
would just jackhammer up the old one and Yeah,  
[1:22:11] it's in, you know, it's got the seam. So you 
you basically pull them up in those sections  
[1:22:15] and if they break they break but yeah you just 
do they can tear that out Bobcat in a couple  
[1:22:21] days we just res those that are smooth out. So 
if you did put in that n area and you did put  
[1:22:31] walking bridge there that is almost in the line 
of sight with the green and yeah that's the other  
[1:22:36] thing I mean it would be a much smaller bridge 
but yeah I don't really you still got to have  
[1:22:43] I wouldn't put a bridge there plane that's my 
opinion is at least start here try to do a no  
[1:22:52] bridge and then if it's still major major 
complaint we could figure out some of the  
[1:22:56] To me, you're you're cutting 
out 40% of the the issue that's
[1:23:04] So, you think the the red line is a shorter 
distance than the existing Well, without a doubt.  
[1:23:11] Yeah. And Yeah, it is. It's way shorter. Yeah. 
This is I don't know why this looks so different  
[1:23:18] than when you're there, but it would be way way 
shorter. And I'm sorry. Tell me again. Cost you  
[1:23:23] said like 15 grand. Yeah, I'm doing that in my 
head. I'm guessing on the yardage, but 12 to 15  
[1:23:28] grand I would think based on all the repairs that 
we did on the car. Really? That amazes me with  
[1:23:35] the price of concrete. I would probably found out 
today concrete is way cheaper than asphalt because  
[1:23:40] we're trying to concrete trying to the where the 
cars park on the back of decks there and there's  
[1:23:45] a fencing area. It's holes. It's a bad disaster 
mud and we're going to concrete that. And asphalt  
[1:23:52] was tossing as much as I mean, yeah, asphalt 
was tossed as much as concrete because there
[1:23:59] is this a day worth, a week's work. What What is 
that? We could lay the new car path in probably  
[1:24:07] probably a week and then we'd have to take the 
other path out. We got to cut all those trees  
[1:24:12] out of there. No, it look down. No. What 
do you mean? That's perfect. Texas. So,  
[1:24:22] it's going to hug up the left side. It's going 
to hug up the left side inside the tree line.  
[1:24:26] Got And I only spent three hours on this. 
Let's be fair. I didn't spend that much time.
[1:24:33] [clears throat] No. Um, no. Where it would go, 
it would there's a spot. The T boxes are a little  
[1:24:39] bit different elevation. There's flat spot. 
It would cut right through there. Turn along  
[1:24:43] the the tree line and closer to the T boxes on 
this. And you ain't the same place over there,  
[1:24:48] right? Right before the bridge. 
Right before the bridge shot. Yeah,  
[1:24:53] we would probably probably have a 
curb that on there to since you're  
[1:24:56] going toward the creek and then just have 
it gradually level back out. But yeah,
[1:25:04] so when you're out there, look at this 
and you'll when you're standing there,  
[1:25:07] I think you'll be like, "Okay, do you need us to 
bless this or what?" I'd like to get feedback. I  
[1:25:14] don't think we need a vote, but I definitely would 
like to get thoughts and opinion and maybe we look  
[1:25:18] at it when you I give you time to put your eyes on 
it. I will say obviously since I walk every time  
[1:25:27] I will forever miss that whole bridge. That's 
true. But um from a kind of pace standpoint,  
[1:25:37] it's almost kind of nice to give that 
group in front of you a little bit. I mean,  
[1:25:44] fast, it's going to catch slow regardless. But 
especially when it I feel like for some reason  
[1:25:51] it gets stack right there pretty often. It 
gives a at least a little when you get done,  
[1:25:56] you get to you're like, "Oh, we're we're good." 
Yeah. You're not waiting. There you go. I mean,  
[1:26:01] yeah, there's always going to be logs when 
I know. I guess I'm just struggling with  
[1:26:08] uh just not seeing a lot of difference from point 
A to point B where you're trying to go. I do see  
[1:26:16] the color path as curve that's for sure. It's not 
but it's definitely not substantial. It it's it's  
[1:26:23] a I'm not seeing Yeah, I don't know. I would like 
to go out and look at it though for sure. Just  
[1:26:30] I think right now the main difference is you're 
going to have to walk to you're going to have to  
[1:26:34] walk here. Right now you're having to go around 
where you don't have to do that anymore. You're  
[1:26:37] going basically more in a straight line from A 
to B instead of going around to get to B. It's  
[1:26:41] going to feel a lot more efficient. I'm thinking 
I mean I that that without bridge it would seem  
[1:26:49] like a really long walk. Yeah, because I' I've 
already heard about 50 people tell me about the  
[1:26:55] bridge and can't remember the bridge. Can't 
bridge. Yeah. Uh, another part I just imagine
[1:27:15] here. [laughter]
[1:27:19] We'll leave that old path and call it Randy 
Alley. Yeah. A little room to land it up there.  
[1:27:27] It's a good hold up. small. You got to take 
the Greek out play. It's the whole thing. So,  
[1:27:34] is it is the bridge in a similar area 
to where it's at now? Is it just a cost  
[1:27:43] issue or a combination of cost then going 
through all the to do that bridge? We have  
[1:27:48] to start completely over construction. So, the the 
permitting, the engineering, all that stuff. Yeah.  
[1:27:55] Yeah. I mean, but that does where it's at 
seems like one of the narrowest places in  
[1:28:00] that creek. I mean, I I understand what you're 
talking about, too, on up here a little ways.  
[1:28:05] It is a a little narrower there, too. Yeah. But 
where it's at is relatively narrow also. Yeah.
[1:28:15] So, we don't have a a cost on redoing just redoing 
the walking bridge where it's at. We don't know.  
[1:28:24] I mean getting the core of engineers involved 
and all that. Yeah. So the engineers that we  
[1:28:29] had PEC some engineers from there they came out 
and they said with it being on a flood plane if  
[1:28:34] you [snorts] if you touch the wall of that bank 
they have to be involved and they've got to sign  
[1:28:39] 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  
[1:28:46] it would take a while. They they basically were 
like you really don't want to do this. That's what  
[1:28:52] they told me. Like it They said if you weren't 
a flood plane, it's nothing but you are. So  
[1:28:56] everything [snorts] they don't want you to flick 
a rock off the bank. They want you to come out  
[1:29:02] further and drill pylons down. Yeah. So if we were 
at a regular walking bridge, I would definitely  
[1:29:07] want one of those pre-fabricated, you know, he 
tied in 10 ft on each side. I not bother that. But  
[1:29:19] what I'm trying to say, we the risk of throwing 
away $15,000, but you could we could try this.
[1:29:31] I think aesthetically it would look cool. Like I 
go out there just after this, just go out there  
[1:29:36] and just take a look. When you're standing there 
and you visualize that and then you see how much  
[1:29:40] different going this way and going this way is 
I pulled this up today. I was honestly almost  
[1:29:45] didn't even put it up on the screen. That's 
not what it looked like when you did it.
[1:29:56] [cough and clears throat] Oh, it's Yeah, you click 
and then give you the benefit. That was a free  
[1:30:01] hand. [laughter] Yeah, really accidentally put a 
little turn. I see that little You could probably  
[1:30:10] cheat the last 40 yards of that existing cart path 
there. I mean, if you're going to come down the  
[1:30:16] tree line and tie in, you wouldn't have to take 
that entire car out. You can tie into it, right?
[1:30:26] Again, yeah. Yeah. Most walkers are going to 
walk a straight anyway. They're not going to  
[1:30:33] stay in the car path. Every time I got 
guys here walking, they take a straight  
[1:30:39] line since that bridge is out. It's hard to 
do here because you get close to those trees,  
[1:30:46] it's like rain and it's there's rough 
over there. It's I don't know maybe
[1:30:53] [snorts] next meeting with me and we 
go out and look at what next meeting  
[1:30:59] we go out and attend. Yeah, I 
I need to figure something out  
[1:31:04] fairly quick. We got a lot of people 
like you saying I get it every day.  
[1:31:08] Yeah, I I got a hammer out there, so I can 
come fix it up. Please stay away. [snorts]
[1:31:17] This course already has a reputation that 
they don't want walkers. It's not a walking  
[1:31:21] friendly course. And I don't know that 
that's I don't know that's a big deal,  
[1:31:26] but that people feel that way. We got a lot of 
walkers here. I think there's more walkers here.  
[1:31:33] Well, maybe it's more women who feel like it's 
not a very walkend course. Is that certain? It's  
[1:31:38] probably the hardest walk, but I think we have 
the most walkers here probably, you know. I mean,  
[1:31:43] everybody sees the handrail and they think it's 
the handrail. I said, "No, it's not the handrail.  
[1:31:46] It's the sub structures problem." Yeah. If you 
crawl down, if you crawl down there, it's it's  
[1:31:52] amazing. That thing hasn't fallen in the concrete. 
I'm not kidding. There's the piece that's holding  
[1:31:56] it up is just suspended to where it's supposed to 
be packed and it's just suspended like this. Hold  
[1:32:01] it. I don't know how it hasn't broke off. And that 
giant tree is about to fall in too. It's Yeah.  
[1:32:09] And the roots of that tree or what are probably 
holding the rest of that bank up right now. Oh,  
[1:32:14] and that's another thing. If that bank eros, it's 
right against the cart path in that one spot. And  
[1:32:18] now our cart path is going to be hanging over the 
doing nothing. Yeah. Uh I will make a point to let  
[1:32:26] them close right tomorrow. That's almost That's 
almost killing. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz that's going to be  
[1:32:33] an issue fairly soon. Yeah, that bank is. [snorts] 
Yeah. We We he put some rock just to kind of test  
[1:32:40] and see some rip wrap along the bank to see. And 
the engineers are like, "That's cute. That's they  
[1:32:46] basically like that'll help, but that's not your 
solution. That's a this is a lot bigger problem."  
[1:32:52] But on number two, we've got a homeowner that if 
you're teeing off on two, that pond to the left  
[1:32:56] in front of the T box is that side of that pond 
that's against the house is that bank is we can't  
[1:33:02] really mow it because all those little trees are 
what's holding the bank up. We knocked all those  
[1:33:06] down. We are going to come in and knock the top of 
all that down soon as it dries enough. We can get  
[1:33:11] the forestry has a big machine that's knocking off 
work. I don't know what it's called. Huh? That's  
[1:33:17] not going to work. Myself and my neighbor Daryl 
have twice over the years taken every tree down  
[1:33:23] on the on the golf course side of that little 
pond. And you know we had commission we talked  
[1:33:28] to commission we work for almost eight days the 
first time about five days a second taking every  
[1:33:36] tree down to their root. They're going to keep 
growing because one we're not allowed to kill  
[1:33:43] kill the root. All we do is take it down. And 
there's one tree at the end. Uh all those with  
[1:33:49] the thorns on it are spawn from that one tree. 
And that tree needs to come down. If it does,  
[1:33:55] you will not have that problem with those five 
and six foot little trees with the thorns 3 ft  
[1:34:01] long. What it feels like when you're coming down. 
So no, we clean it out twice to bare ground and  
[1:34:09] then the golf course lets you come back. Went 
up and I do it again. too old. Unfortunately,  
[1:34:15] he's wearing I can't think what the machine was 
called. It's that job machine that basically just  
[1:34:20] I mean he it'll take them that one tree 
down at the end of that little overflow.  
[1:34:25] If you don't take that down, they're going to 
just going to keep spawning those those trees.
[1:34:35] Part part of that tree has died now. uh one 
small part of that tree that's causing all  
[1:34:40] this problem but uh it's still living longer 
that's going to grow back like that after 3  
[1:34:46] years [snorts] still living so I mean what we 
were talking about the engineers said don't  
[1:34:51] take those out cuz that is going to collapse 
if you do that to what's holding it so they  
[1:34:56] recommended are you are you talking about the 
the actual pond itself or the overflow the pond  
[1:35:02] left at number 10 the one all the beavers 
took the trees down on the back side of  
[1:35:08] on the on the outside of that pond. Yeah. Beavers 
tore that up. Yeah. Well, they didn't turn enough.  
[1:35:14] I wish they'd keep turning. They took so many of 
them now. It's ridiculous. They have more problem.  
[1:35:18] Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of a lot of trees that 
they're going to We stood out there with the  
[1:35:23] engineers and they said, "Don't don't take them 
out because that's why it's on the debate until  
[1:35:26] you have a permanent solution on how to shore up 
that bait. Don't take those trees out." They said,  
[1:35:30] "Some trees already fell in the bank with them." 
Yeah. And there's no landing there. Yeah. So that  
[1:35:37] machine they can go down through there in 20 
minutes and 20. So we'll do it several times  
[1:35:40] a year. I'm glad we watch that. Yeah. Yeah. We 
were going to do it last Tuesday in the rain.  
[1:35:45] So we had scheduled. Now it's raining raining 
and you know how wet how long that takes. So  
[1:35:52] yeah, [clears throat] my house rain. So yeah, just 
look at that when you're when you're out there  
[1:36:01] next time. I'm just I'm trying to get my bearings 
on it. So, where the red line is to the right up  
[1:36:07] at the top of that red line up there to the right 
of that there's like a little brown spot right  
[1:36:12] there. That would be the That'd be the white box. 
Yes. Right. Yeah. Right there. That's what So,  
[1:36:22] that would be the white. Black, blue, white. 
Yeah. And it may actually be here. I think  
[1:36:27] it is actually. I did that wrong. It's here. 
So, sorry. Yeah. You're talking about inside  
[1:36:32] the tree line. Yeah. And those trees look like 
they're a lot farther out cuz you're looking at  
[1:36:38] the top. There's room like where you Yeah. go 
through there easily. E easily. And there was  
[1:36:45] eight people out there that day and everybody 
was We were talking about if we did that,  
[1:36:49] how much space that would save walking. Everybody 
was when you're standing there, it's like,  
[1:36:53] "Oh yeah, that would make it way easier." And then 
I pull this up and I'm like, "That looks stupid.
[1:37:13] Okay. Okay.
[1:37:16] Conversion at S. Okay. This is what we were 
talking about earlier. So with the fairways  
[1:37:22] uh at Sam of course we've got Bermuda which in the 
winter is gets really thin and um you really only  
[1:37:30] have good grass half the year. So there's a lot 
of courses in the area. Wellington's one um some  
[1:37:36] in Joplin, some in Springfield that has switched 
to this blue muda which is a mix of blueg grass  
[1:37:40] and bermuda. You overseed the Bermuda with blue 
grass. There's nothing else you need to do other  
[1:37:46] than keep it really wet. um put the seed down and 
it it [clears throat] takes so half the year the  
[1:37:52] blueg grass throws, half the year the mut thrones 
and somehow these two strands don't fight each  
[1:37:57] 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  
[1:38:04] common becoming more and more common in this area. 
Um [snorts] Wellington went and played there just  
[1:38:10] to see what it was like. I think that was before 
the last meeting. We already talked about it. It's  
[1:38:13] their fairways are perfect right now. Um and uh 
talked to like the tour rep. He's he he was going  
[1:38:21] on and on about he used to be a superintendent. He 
was going on and on. He played of course in Joplin  
[1:38:25] and of course at Lake of the Ozarks that did it 
and they're absolutely perfect. So I'm really  
[1:38:32] you know fairways are especially at sim are are 
always kind of a challenge. Um, we've got the got  
[1:38:38] it priced out. [clears throat] The seed alone 
would be about $30,000 to do all the forever  
[1:38:45] in that course. Um, and that there's a cheaper 
seed, but the it's got a price for 21,000. The  
[1:38:52] $30,000 seed is coated with undecided like a water 
retention thing. So, it comes where you don't have  
[1:38:58] to buy like the chemicals after the fact because 
it the seed, however they do that, comes coated  
[1:39:03] with that already. So, you're saving money. Yeah. 
I think you have a lot better chance of it of it  
[1:39:09] taking and then um you know put as much chemical 
and different applications [clears throat] on  
[1:39:13] it after the fact. Fertilizer, the starter 
fertilizer, we would do this September 1st.  
[1:39:18] That's when you do this time of the year. Um 
we do a September application and an October  
[1:39:23] application. Um they it would be about $5,000 for 
both of those to to get that starter fertilizer to  
[1:39:30] get it to really take off. Um, [clears throat] 
and then we also want to make sure we protect  
[1:39:36] the bermita for the winter as we're trying to get 
the other grass to grow process that we've done.  
[1:39:41] The only thing we haven't priced out the rope 
and stakes and we would need those because for  
[1:39:45] at least two weeks, probably the entire month of 
September, we would keep carts off the fairways.  
[1:39:52] And to make sure that's completely done, we want 
to rope that off. We don't want to do all this  
[1:39:56] money and then people just ignore it and drop on 
the fairways. So you we would rope and stake the  
[1:40:00] fairways. Um, so from September 1st basically 
to October 1st, October 10th, we would have  
[1:40:08] um would be off the bat or it'd be carts on path 
home week. The we wouldn't really have to we might  
[1:40:14] close for two days just to get it get it done. 
Um shouldn't be a big u disruption of play other  
[1:40:21] than the carts and the fairways have to be really 
wet for a couple of weeks to get those started. So  
[1:40:27] um we just had to keep a lot more water than 
usual. Uh, but you do this once and then it's it's  
[1:40:33] done. But I think I really obviously not here, but 
I think at sim and then if that works really good,  
[1:40:40] I like to do that back as well. Those two courses 
at Texas and ways are awesome right now. So I'm  
[1:40:48] okay there. But I think text and and I'm sorry 
back would really benefit from this this process.  
[1:40:54] I think Texas too. I mean if you play tax in 
January, February and that dual I think again.  
[1:41:03] Mhm. So the 30,000 covers both applications that 
you want to do for the seed for the seed. No. No.  
[1:41:11] It would cover the seed and then it's about 5,000 
for this for the 30 $35,000 plus the work and you  
[1:41:18] this gets drilled in. Yeah, we'll do a double slit 
cross slit and then you you lay the seed uh and  
[1:41:25] 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.
[1:41:36] I think uh
[1:41:41] I don't know. I I was very impressed with 
with volat and talked to several people  
[1:41:45] that play there is on course he's down there 
Harrison he's a good player he uh he's the  
[1:41:52] one who told me he was like come come with me 
you need to look at these yeah that's proof in  
[1:41:59] the winter time now you can actually see 
what blueg grass actually does come in
[1:42:07] right now for me always should be end 
of April. So, Maria was coming out,  
[1:42:13] but it wasn't like it is now. So, it was 
actually when we were before all the rain  
[1:42:17] when it was dry as heck all the rain. That's I 
was there and it was Yeah. And it was awesome.
[1:42:26] I think that's a great idea. I like that. I 
think people would be very happy that we're  
[1:42:31] doing something. I mean, there's going to be 
people not happy that they have seen on the path,  
[1:42:35] but also they're going to be happy that we're 
doing something that long term is going to make  
[1:42:39] that course much much better. Yeah. Probably be 
great to take some before and afters, too. Yeah.  
[1:42:45] Just show the difference. This is I know you 
have been able to play, but have you talked to  
[1:42:51] any of the ladies that play it soon right now? I'm 
sorry. Have you talked to the ladies that play it  
[1:42:55] soon? I actually played. Oh, you did? Oh, okay. 
Yeah. More than I was supposed to. [laughter]  
[1:43:03] You go and stop your I did. Yeah. And kind of 
reinjured a little bit, but that's okay. Um  
[1:43:09] uh yeah, I played it for the state senior. We 
played it two days in a row. And when was that?  
[1:43:13] Uh last Tuesday and Wednesday. Okay. Wednesday 
and Thursday. Um yeah, I mean I think everybody  
[1:43:21] felt like it was certainly improved from where 
it's been the last three or four years. For sure.  
[1:43:25] There were a lot of people older ones like 
me reminiscing about how good it used to be,  
[1:43:30] right? and wishing it could get there. So, I 
don't think anybody pushed back about playing  
[1:43:34] like this to to improve. I think the greens 
right now are really good. We do have our  
[1:43:41] club championship the first week of September. 
There'll be a little push back on that. I mean,  
[1:43:45] our club is our ladies club is 
old. What what days? 8 n [snorts]
[1:43:57] going first and second, you think? Maybe 
if I go back to him with this maybe. Let's  
[1:44:02] let's talk about that. We did first start 
the next Monday. Yeah. Let me see what I  
[1:44:07] can do on that. And I don't they may have 
something to start to figure out. Yeah.
[1:44:14] Yeah. I mean cart pass only. There's a lot 
of people who drop out but it's car pass  
[1:44:17] only just because they physically can't do 
it. Yeah. Let's see if we can something up.
[1:44:26] Unfortunately, that this time of year, 
it's when you pretty well have to do this.  
[1:44:29] There's not It's not that we're just 
picking that time to make a meeting.  
[1:44:33] It's a timing. Yeah. Sure. And and I mean, 
[clears throat] they'll understand that if  
[1:44:38] we can if there's room on the calendar, 
we'll see if we can just accommodate.
[1:44:45] Yep. [clears throat] Any other 
questions, comments? Uh course updates.
[1:44:55] I think all the course conditions are have been 
around pretty good. Um we had some issues at Mac  
[1:45:02] on a couple of dry spots on the green this 
past week. Obviously had eight of rain since  
[1:45:08] then. So I think that took care of that. But um 
we're going to work on work on a better plan on  
[1:45:15] how we handle that. It's obviously grease. I was 
getting a bunch of pictures in pictures of the  
[1:45:19] course and it looked great. And then I get back 
and they were like, "Yeah, everything's awesome  
[1:45:23] except for the hot spots on the green burning 
up." So, getting used to having the resources  
[1:45:30] to take care of that now that we didn't have 
in the past and actually utilizing them. So,  
[1:45:34] um but no, I I haven't played in 3 weeks, so 
I don't know what here. I haven't heard any  
[1:45:40] complaints at all. I think the course is No, 
I haven't heard any complaints here at all.  
[1:45:46] I'm sorry. I was going to say since they took the 
airway over the fairways and punched holes again,  
[1:45:54] I think some of the spots are starting to even 
fill in more and get better, especially with the  
[1:45:59] moisture we've had and stuff. So, I don't 
know if he threw fertilizer down with that  
[1:46:03] or if he was just broken in. Yeah. Uh, and I've 
heard nothing but comments about the new super.  
[1:46:15] everybody that says he's doing a fantastic job. 
So, good. That's good to hear. Um, yeah, I did the  
[1:46:22] rar today definitely improve. There's still a lot 
to be done, but it's I think things are definitely  
[1:46:28] going and he when when he started, I mean, he 
pretty well laid out what issues he saw, what  
[1:46:34] his important things were. One of them was the 
root system on the greens was that deep, but now  
[1:46:39] it's this deep. So, he's really done everything 
he's hoping to do. It's a process. cuz we had so  
[1:46:44] many windy days in the spring. You couldn't spray 
like you wanted to. Um so there's kind of those  
[1:46:49] spotty places that they are spotty. Yeah, that 
that's the main thing right now. Um but overall  
[1:46:56] pretty good about what I was seeing at Slim Matt 
now that all the equipment's off the course and he  
[1:47:01] has access to everything. He's came along and 
then text today six or five or six totals. I  
[1:47:08] don't know when last time he played there, but it 
was it was awesome today. I don't think there's a  
[1:47:14] weed or blade of anything that's not supposed to 
be there. I mean, it's it's Edward. There were  
[1:47:22] two comments made by the women who came and played 
the city senior over there at S. Um, one was the  
[1:47:27] bunker on 16 is still pretty darn rough. I don't 
know if there's anything else planned to be done  
[1:47:31] about that winter project. We're going to fill 
that up. It's not going to grow the way it is.  
[1:47:36] And we also still need to get the air flow there 
is terrible. trying to get grass to establish and  
[1:47:41] that's why it is very difficult to do. Okay. 
I could just tell people it's in the plant.  
[1:47:46] Um and then the the pure dirt place is still in 
mostly in the rough. Um I I assume those this  
[1:47:54] overseating thing may help with that or is that 
primarily fair race? This will be fair. Yeah. Um
[1:48:06] yeah. Oh, this would this this that we 
needed would just be the fur away. So,  
[1:48:10] it's something we we need to address and figure 
out. There's some pretty good patches of just  
[1:48:14] pure dirt. And so, for the tournament, we had to 
tell them they could take that as ground under  
[1:48:18] repair and take relief from. I mean, because 
it's hard pan dirt. Yeah, we were looking at  
[1:48:22] especially you're talking about the rough around 
the car path today. We're looking at trying to saw  
[1:48:27] a ton of the places around the path or widening 
path, one of the two because there's right this  
[1:48:32] much dirt on both sides. Exactly. And then in the 
rough, we just need [clears throat] to figure out  
[1:48:38] each area is kind of its own animal. What's the 
cause? Is it because it's no sun all day? Well,  
[1:48:42] you know, what is it? It's a water outreach. 
You start to type. A lot of what we saw was  
[1:48:46] the dirt around the paths. And I'm sure that's 
from people driving off the path. Today we saw  
[1:48:50] I mean seven carts in a row. You pull it. Path is 
here. You pull up to the green. For some reason,  
[1:48:55] you pull your cart here. I've never understood 
that. Just parking the path. Yeah. Or there's one  
[1:49:01] today. Guy got to the end of the path and he just 
drove off at the end and parked. just one two one  
[1:49:07] step difference but it just killed it all there. 
I don't know. Um and then the last thing at Sam  
[1:49:14] is what's the story on the ceiling in the lady's 
restroom. There's still there's still a big hole
[1:49:24] there. So I didn't go last time I was there I 
was not there. I was there last I holy cow. I  
[1:49:31] was there probably two weeks ago. So the air 
conditioning unit it's in that ceiling and  
[1:49:35] it's above this. So when it free, you know what 
they do the constant drip. I know last when I  
[1:49:41] was there I was there for the city that was two 
week it was 10 days ago or something and that  
[1:49:47] tile ceiling. Yeah. Yeah. We can replace 
the tile. I figure out the cost. I don't  
[1:49:54] know. I'm telling you our budget 80% of our 
expenses go to the air conditioner companies.  
[1:50:01] It's I've never every golf course I've ever worked 
at club house is just air conditioners don't work.  
[1:50:06] I don't understand it. They've been here 87 times 
and every time they leave it's fixed. The next  
[1:50:11] day we get here and it's 82 degrees. It's not 
today. Have you worked out? It's cold out there.  
[1:50:19] They were here. Yes. I think. Yeah. So wait till 
30. Okay. Thank you. No. I'll I'll see what the  
[1:50:31] I don't know the ladies restroom that much. 
So start. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. They've done a big  
[1:50:41] improvement on the bathroom and back out 
the middle there. They [snorts] painted  
[1:50:46] it nice cleaner than it used to be. What do 
you mean they [laughter] outstanding? Well,  
[1:50:53] what you forgot to do was kill that big black 
widow that hangs around behind the toilet. Tommy.  
[1:50:58] Yeah. Tommy. Tommy. Yeah, get rid of Tommy. He 
scared me out of there twice. Chased me once.  
[1:51:06] That's awesome. I want to feed him. There's a big 
group of bushes right in front of the bathroom.  
[1:51:12] Okay. La [laughter] think about it. No, he just 
means to relocate Tommy. That's all. If you Tommy,  
[1:51:21] I appreciate it. Okay. I know at least one 
of my guys is death and would appreciate it.  
[1:51:26] I think he didn't go off the toilet. 
He looked down there looking at him.
[1:51:40] Okay. No, I'll look at that lady's crowd. 
I didn't know it was there. So, all
[1:51:46] right. Okay. Um, marketing and customer service 
updates. Anything bad to add stuff? Yeah. So,  
[1:51:54] I'm just going to share a little bit of what we 
did last week or not last week, the beginning  
[1:51:57] of June. It was June 1 through the 5th. It 
was our golfer appreciation week. We blasted  
[1:52:03] it everywhere, but if you didn't know, this is 
kind of the day say themes maybe. Um, overall,  
[1:52:10] I think people took a great, you know, they came 
out, they supported us when they could. Um, the  
[1:52:17] only real spotty day we had was our June 4th day. 
It was a range day and we had rain. So besides  
[1:52:23] that that the entire week was great. Obviously 
um we want to give back to our golf ballers but  
[1:52:26] at the same time we used it to encourage engage 
encourage engagement on our social media platforms  
[1:52:32] and also get people to follow so they know what's 
going on. Um so I just threw up a few pictures. We  
[1:52:38] got the donuts in the bottom left of gratitude 
on the right there. A part of the week we did  
[1:52:43] like trivia asking questions about golf courses 
different things like that. So we had a great  
[1:52:48] time doing that. Um, then this is a clip from 
our snack stop day. This was unpromptu. We had  
[1:52:56] uh what what did we have all that day? We had 
ice cream. We had popcorn. Ice cream truck.  
[1:53:02] Yeah. With me Hamilton and snow cones. And snow 
cones. Yes. So every hour for three hours we  
[1:53:07] had different stuff. So this is just a clip 
from the day that we thought was pretty cool.
[1:53:24] It was moments like this all week that was great. 
Sydney and I were at all the different courses  
[1:53:28] talking to people, asking them questions. It was 
it was a good time overall. Good for you guys.
[1:53:37] Let me make sure I say this. They 
did. They ever been to the sports.  
[1:53:40] I was stuck downtown pretty much that 
whole week before and that week. So,  
[1:53:45] I was trying to make it as I could. They did 
everything. They did everything. Thank you,  
[1:53:49] guys. Yeah. And then this is just a short 
little clip of our final day. We gave away  
[1:53:54] tons of prizes. We had competitions. It was 
wellreceived. We had a couple league that was  
[1:54:00] out here that came out and supported. WBC was out. 
They had some samples to try. On the first mat,  
[1:54:07] we were seeing who could hit the greens 
that are out there. And if they did,  
[1:54:10] they would get prize. And just by chance, there 
was a guy, a drone operator. He's like, "Can I  
[1:54:15] fly my drone around?" I was like, "Yeah, man. Get 
it up." But that was kind of the finale for it all
[1:54:26] TV. Um, Bench went Ben. I posted that video of all 
the winners on Facebook. I didn't want to include  
[1:54:35] everything and we would have been here for half an 
hour watching stuff. something. And then finally,  
[1:54:43] um this is kind of the views, engagement, that 
kind of stuff, that kind of stuff from uh the  
[1:54:49] first, you know, three weeks of June. Um uh 
so here is kind of this first week was kind  
[1:54:56] of where we were pushing really hard. And you 
can kind of see how when we're more active,  
[1:55:00] you know, in the community and stuff like 
that, they'll show that through engagement.  
[1:55:03] um kind of dropped off a little bit more as 
we get to the end of June because obviously  
[1:55:07] we're not pushing social campaigns as hard, but 
it's been great. You can see all the numbers are  
[1:55:12] plus percentages for this. So, this this 
is the against this time last year. So,  
[1:55:16] pretty comparable. We're happy with the results 
and I think our golfers really enjoyed this  
[1:55:21] little games and prizes and contests that we had 
going on throughout the week. So, all in all,  
[1:55:25] I think it was pretty pretty successful. I don't 
know, leave that screen up for a second. I don't  
[1:55:28] know much about social media but 130,000 views 
that week up 60% 18 up 148% and watch time.
[1:55:41] Define watch time for me. What does that mean? 
Total watch time that anybody was logged in.  
[1:55:46] Yeah. So anybody that's logged in has the video 
up on their on their phone. You know how you're  
[1:55:50] scrolling through even if it's halfway on your 
screen and still playing it it records that  
[1:55:54] screen time. Okay. And so that's a combination 
of everybody. Gotcha. [clears throat] Yeah. So,  
[1:56:00] 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  
[1:56:05] percentages are, it looks like some pretty big 
numbers to me. So, really it's a great job you  
[1:56:11] guys. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. And that was 
it for for me. I will say we we had no idea how  
[1:56:19] this is going to work. people are going to care if 
people how many people are. The first day I've got  
[1:56:24] Steve call me and he was like, "Hey, I got guys 
here asking about when they need to be here for  
[1:56:28] this or this." Awesome. Time to donuts arrive. 
Before before us, I wish the shots we'd stay.  
[1:56:36] We had we there was a huge storm coming. Everyone 
knew it was on the way. So, I had several people  
[1:56:41] telling me I was going to come out, but it's going 
to rain. And we had about maybe an hour. There was  
[1:56:46] they had a DJ out there playing music. It was 
so fun. Yeah. It would have been awesome. It  
[1:56:52] would have been cool. But we'll try again. Yeah. 
With shot suite. I don't really have too much of  
[1:56:58] just backpacking off of Trevor. Other than that, 
I've just been I've had a few more orientations.  
[1:57:05] We're doing good. Lots of awesome new hires, new
