[0:12]
Okay, we'll go ahead and get meeting started
then. Uh we have any public comments.
[0:22]
Okay. Uh any announcements, Jesse?
Yeah. Uh, a couple thing we do. Well,
[0:31]
let me start by saying we uh we found out Friday
we all are we you all have to be reappointed. So,
[0:37]
unfortunately, we're not going to be able to vote
tonight or elect officers, which I don't think we
[0:40]
have anything on the agenda to vote on. So, it's
it's not the end of the world. Um, next meeting,
[0:45]
uh, they will be here to swear in again. Um,
and we can elect officers and vote on everything
[0:52]
there. So we won't do approve minutes, but I'll
leave those on the agenda for next month time
[0:56]
with this being a new board and kind of the way
it's set up different. There was some confusion
[0:59]
there. We found come to our teaching from city
manager's office on Friday that that had to be
[1:04]
done. So tomorrow on the council meeting, the
mayor's going to uh [snorts] basically put in the
[1:10]
minutes that she approves the appointments, which
is all of you again and then our two new members.
[1:15]
Uh so we'll we'll be back in business next to
regular next next uh meeting. Um, let me start.
[1:23]
We We do have a kind of sad or a definitely a very
sad announcement. Al Paige, who's kind of the head
[1:30]
guy for the Junior Golf Foundation, passed away
this morning. Um, he's he's been dealing with
[1:35]
some health issues for a while. Um, him and his
family obviously is 51 years old that program is
[1:41]
their that started it and put everything into
it. Um, and we all know how big that is. So,
[1:47]
uh, going to be working over the next few weeks to
come up with some type of probably permanently to
[1:51]
put one of the courses for for him. He definitely
deserved. So, very sad to hear that today. Um,
[1:59]
on a much better junior golf note, uh, our junior
tour, we finished up the regular season this past
[2:06]
uh, yesterday at SIM and now we have the Witchdaw
Junior Cup on Sunday at Tex and that's the top
[2:12]
four in each division. We have five divisions
be the top four in the point space. We have a
[2:17]
point system all year. So the top top four will
compete. I know they're they're pretty excited
[2:21]
about that. We're going to try to make it feel
like they're walking into the masters on Sunday.
[2:25]
Make it a big dip. So um it's been fun. We've had
some very good turnout. Some good good golf this
[2:30]
year. Um and then the all of our junior golf the
main the junior golf foundation today and tomorrow
[2:39]
it's the last regular week. Next week we have
the play days and then that program is wrapped
[2:44]
up for the year. Um that's every depending on the
course every Monday and Tuesday. U so it's as good
[2:49]
as that is it it puts a lot of strain on staff
and the course and everything. So we'll be back
[2:53]
to to our normal play on Mondays and Tuesdays
after next week. Um and then finally uh we do
[3:02]
have two new board members we're fortunate
to have here. So um we've got Jane Alderson
[3:07]
and and Kent. You guys all know Kent. He was the
liazison from the park board to golf board. Um,
[3:12]
and if if you don't mind, I'd like to give them
a minute just to kind of introduce themselves
[3:16]
and anything they need to know. Okay. You want me
to go first? Alphabetically, I am of course first
[3:21]
Mr. Goose. Um, my name is Jane Alderson. I have
a volunteer. So, I like to volunteer for things.
[3:29]
That's the number one reason why I signed up. Um
and um but I do have a particular uh background
[3:38]
in environmental science and uh worked for civil
engineering groups over the years. I mainly work
[3:44]
in manufacturing. So I think I can bring a little
bit of help as far as my scientific background.
[3:51]
So I decided to to serve on board. I will say that
the area that you know a lot about is an area that
[3:59]
we don't know a lot about. So we're very excited
to add. So, thank you for One of my buddies that I
[4:04]
uh hang out with uh is St. Trex and he used to
be the uh grounds keeper who country club for
[4:12]
years and years and years. So, if I ever need any
advice from I got I feel like I got an inside guy.
[4:18]
Gotcha. Okay. You should know the to get worn
out. Yeah. No. Okay. No, thank you so much for
[4:25]
being here. Well, this is my 50th year of playing
golf. I started when I was 12, 62. Most of that
[4:33]
was the four city courses. I had a few stance
at Thriving Courses, but been back for quite a
[4:39]
while. And I've been selling golf equipment for
24 years now. And then started a laser engraving
[4:50]
um business. Well, dabling, learning that
one. And I've been doing hair for 38 years.
[4:56]
So that's about it in town. It's awesome. But
I know you're both active at the courses. So
[5:04]
you bring that that to the play mostly text and
honor, but I'm ready to see what the other two
[5:11]
how how they bounce. So yeah. Good. Okay. Thank
you both for being here. We we appreciate it.
[5:21]
I have a question comment more about the
junior golf thing. Some of my golf buddies
[5:28]
are the primary people who do the on-site
volunteer. Volunteering. There's a real
[5:35]
shortage there. Yes. And so I was wondering if
next year we could just kind of brainstorm the
[5:40]
idea of what we could do to there's got to
be more than six people who will be willing
[5:45]
to jump in and help with that. and uh maybe
we could do a little drive on there. Yeah,
[5:52]
we we met with them several times back in
the winter come up with ways to do that.
[5:58]
We we had some that signed up and then dropped
out prior to the start. So kind of up there a
[6:02]
couple couple of courses were left in a heck of a
lot scrambling trying to figure it out. So yeah,
[6:07]
I think that's I think this group should
involve some kind of either a marketing
[6:11]
thing because up to now my impression is it's
been more word of mouth from the two girls that
[6:17]
are primary on that on that deal that they just
try to call people they know and I don't think
[6:23]
that's been really successful. Not a lot of
people. Right. Right. No. Is agree. I mean,
[6:30]
when back when my kids were in junior golf, they
kind of would request the parents to Oh, they do,
[6:36]
but somebody still has to do all the paperwork.
Oh, all the There has to be stuff. Yeah. 120
[6:42]
120 kids a morning that come out to each course
each course. So, so the enforce is fine. It's the
[6:48]
other stuff. Yeah. It's the getting ready and even
encourse the way I understand it they you know the
[6:53]
person in charge bricks the kids in does a little
rules lesson with them and so on then sends them
[6:57]
out to the for a little on course lesson and and
then organizes their parental volunteers to make
[7:02]
sure everybody's covered you know that kind of
administrative stuff is where really hurt yeah
[7:08]
and when they have playdates they have playdates
at the end of the year where they need more
[7:12]
volunteers to come out and be on course with the
kids and just help them with etiquette, you know,
[7:18]
just the basic stuff. Yeah. So that's I know
we always try to help with that into your Yeah.
[7:32]
Maybe to do something figure
out a way to help get some more.
[7:41]
Yeah. Just like every week, right? Not just That's
right. thing. Yeah. It normally starts the 1 of
[7:51]
June. This week, this year it was the second week
of June 7th. That's the first day. It's Tuesday
[7:56]
here. Monday at tax. Is that right? Yeah. Monday
at tax. Monday at tax. And then Mac has sent up
[8:02]
Monday. Tuesday. Yeah. [clears throat] How you
staff? What's that? How are you staff and season?
[8:13]
The Oh, that's different. So, that's the junior
tour. We're good on that. Yeah. So yeah, the the
[8:17]
junior tour is a competitive tour that I run. It's
it's also a six regular weeks and then the finals.
[8:24]
Um which would be again that's only now that we're
down to the finals it gets a lot easier because we
[8:28]
only have 20 players instead of 70 on a Sunday. So
um for those aren't no totally no but the one the
[8:35]
tour that I run it's very competitive. It's it's
to get them ready to play high school, potentially
[8:40]
college golf. So, it's le of the of the junior
golfers. Yeah, we had like we didn't play this
[8:49]
year. Last year we had Graham Smith shoot 64 every
time we teed up, you know, win junior world. So,
[8:56]
yeah, pretty pretty solid. I mean, there's some
good players on there this year as well. So, yeah.
[9:02]
Um, one thing I wanted to bring up was last week
or last month he had said something about the new
[9:10]
system was going to maybe get that standby feature
in it and I think you said couple weeks something.
[9:20]
We weren't sure exactly when but it was there's
an update that came out today. I got here this
[9:25]
morning I saw the update and I was hoping I jumped
in it to see what it was. It was not part of that.
[9:29]
would still should be any any time. I don't know.
There's a third party that we could use. We sign
[9:35]
a contract and if that's about to come out, I
don't want to spend that money and knowing that
[9:38]
it's Robert. So, we're kind of in limbo. It's uh
I don't think it's taking longer than what they
[9:45]
said. But we're to get that started. So, are they
going to make it to you finance or they going to
[9:52]
leave it as is? No. So of all the the companies
that we demoed, no one booked process. Yeah. No,
[10:00]
that's and that's not Are you seeing less period
or is everybody pretty much aware that you can
[10:06]
come with five weeks? Yeah. We'll show five. Not
not really. Um but yeah, as far as a a computer
[10:19]
program that does that either not do that now and
we had did but that one we don't know. So people
[10:29]
uh people here don't realize how rare that is
on the golf portal. I heard it. Yeah. I don't
[10:35]
know how far away but it's not very far. They know
they tried to do away with it a while back. This
[10:42]
is like four or five years ago, but that did not
go well. There was a lot of complaints. I would
[10:48]
suggest before noon on the weekends, but like you
said, city hall full of people that you just get
[10:54]
the golf course moving in a nice way instead of
one, but not that all fans are slow, but the slow
[11:02]
group is usually a F, right? No, there's that play
faster than anybody out here. It's not there's a
[11:10]
lot more to it. It'll be that extra wearing to
tear from a cart, the extra round that the cart
[11:15]
gets used. I mean, there's a lot more to it than
that. But yeah, I don't got rid of it for a while,
[11:21]
but somebody said they might been out there,
but they got rid of five. My understanding is
[11:26]
they got rid of my brother plays out there. Good.
That's good to know. Yeah, there you go. Little
[11:32]
ammo. How's PC man as far as it been back? Yeah.
Yeah. [snorts] Or every day if it's not worn out,
[11:44]
right? The last the end of last week and today
is the first time we've had any type of a low
[11:51]
just cuz it's 107 degrees right now. Yeah.
And that's expected. I was talking to the
[11:56]
the guy that runs Denver courses. He said the
same thing and he said this little heat we're
[12:01]
getting where for the first time we're seeing just
a little bit in the afternoon and there's a open
[12:05]
tea time here and there. I'm like how what's
the temperature? He said it's like 93 today.
[12:13]
Yeah, they are struggling fast. I can [clears
throat] I can tell you got up Sunday at 4:45.
[12:20]
Get online, get ready. Got to get an early
tea time. Nope. Can't get that one. Next one.
[12:24]
Nope. Can't get that one. First one I get was 10
o'clock and actually book it at 5:01. One minute
[12:31]
is all you got. It's like buying concert tickets.
One minute. That's all you got. Like is in town.
[12:38]
really fast. That's for weekends or that just any
Yeah. A Sunday morning for the next Sunday. Well,
[12:46]
the uh the only complaints I've I've gotten in the
last two months have been from some of the groups
[12:52]
that are used to having tea times all all year.
Aside from that, of course, the response is Yeah,
[12:58]
that's that's what everybody else dealt with this
whole time. So, it's it's been half. Yeah. the
[13:04]
complaints have definitely went down, right? And
it's not to bring that whole deal back up, but the
[13:11]
point that I was trying to get to was when someone
does have a complaint, I can explain to them,
[13:17]
look, that's that was all on my no one I can show
them. No one was pre- booked. No one was booked
[13:21]
early. It's it was what it is. So, yeah, fair
access to everyone. Any ideas on the supply issue?
[13:31]
Yeah, not working on it. Working [clears
throat] on it. Not there yet, but
[13:41]
something out that's could never happen. I need
to do a lot of work on that back end. But you guys
[13:55]
Okay. So, we don't have any information
for yourself. we just move right along
[13:59]
on to the financial update.
Yeah. So, I haven't gotten the
[14:03]
um monthly financial report from finance yet,
but I can go through our numbers. [clears throat]
[14:19]
But let me see. So, this goes through Oops.
[14:24]
Okay. This goes through through June. So it's not
including anything from this month. Uh looking at
[14:30]
rounds, we are up primarily except for McDonald
which McDonald had all the work being done early
[14:36]
in the year. So they had all the construction
and we were closed for part of that a day
[14:40]
here and there. So that that's a big reason for
that. AC on the other courses were we're up for
[14:45]
the year. Um altogether we're up um about 2,000
rounds over last year and uh like nearly almost
[14:52]
6,000 from 24. Now, [snorts] if you look at June
alone, we're down because we had all that rain at
[14:59]
the end of June um with big rain that closed the
course for three days and closed every course. So,
[15:04]
we were trucking right along and then that big
rain came and and just put us at a standstill
[15:08]
almost a little. So, um if we would have had a
good finish to the end of the month, we would
[15:12]
have been way up on the year. But, um still all
in all need water. I'd like to have not had it all
[15:17]
at one time, but u still looking looking pretty
solid this month. looking really good as well. Um,
[15:24]
why would be down so much? I mean, that's drains
really fast, right? That sandy soil. Yeah.
[15:44]
I'm going to verify that. That's a good
point. I'm going verify that once we
[15:47]
feel [clears throat] once I get done with this.
Oh, let me that does seem really low. Okay,
[15:54]
let me let me look at that and make sure
that maybe with the new system some kind of
[15:57]
reporting thing that I did not do correctly.
Let me go back to that. Um, cart rentals are
[16:02]
are way up. We're about $70,000 up over last
year. So, really good spot, which of course
[16:07]
um partial part of that money goes back into our
cart fund to make sure we we have the fund. So,
[16:13]
the cart fund we'll get to in a second is looking
really good. [snorts] Um, food and beverage,
[16:17]
we're uh pretty much dead even over last year. Uh,
up again from 24 and way up from 22 or 23. Again,
[16:26]
there's things we want to do that we just we
have to have staffing. So, [clears throat]
[16:32]
I still think there's room for improvement there,
but we we have to be able to be consistent and
[16:38]
um efficient with with that area.
Without people, it's hard to do. So,
[16:42]
um, Jesse, are we still in the budget? Do we still
have a food and beverage staff person, you know,
[16:50]
to replace the one we don't have any longer?
That's primarily. He's he's food and beverage and
[16:55]
marketing. That's his title. So, yeah. Okay. Yeah.
I just wanted to know if somebody was monost. He's
[17:02]
looking at what they're doing, looking at
margins, looking at food costs constantly,
[17:06]
um running reports to show what what is going,
what's not working. I was thinking more about the
[17:11]
events that we've talked about before and I know
that takes additional staffing beyond way beyond
[17:16]
just you. Yeah. Every time there's an event
that requires food, he's pretty much weekend,
[17:21]
afternoon, night, whatever. He's there because we
just we don't have that extra person to do. So,
[17:27]
any ideas what we're going to try to do where we
beat that hood from burners? Yeah, we I mean we
[17:35]
this past week we put I'll pull the grill out and
did some burgers outside at Mac and it it works,
[17:41]
but you also now you the person that's inside is
the only person that can go outside to cook. So
[17:46]
you can't you know what I mean? It's only
one person that's really problematic. Is
[17:50]
there only one person running the for the most
part? Yes. That's that's it. Yeah. And it's uh
[18:00]
the thing if we're if you're not consistent
in this world, you're not it's not going to
[18:04]
work cuz people need to know that they can
show up and and the food's going to be there,
[18:07]
the burgers are going to be there. And if
that person's stuck inside and can't get
[18:10]
out and they show up, well, the next time
they're stopping somewhere on plane. So,
[18:14]
and they have to have a
food handler's license. So,
[18:16]
like the assistant pro couldn't go out and cook
them or Yeah. I know the establishment has can,
[18:22]
but it's you got to think too. Yeah. Yeah.
And that happens a lot. I mean, a lot of the
[18:29]
guys will jump out and help or whatever, but you
know, if you've got 120 kids coming in 8 minutes,
[18:34]
I got to um [clears throat] so driving ranges
are extremely strong. Uh we could have five more
[18:42]
driving ranges and they'd be packed every day.
Um 162,000 of them 27 at this point last year,
[18:49]
uh which is crazy. We did have we have a really
slow start to last year with the driving ranges,
[18:54]
but still it's a schmaculate. Um merchandise sales
are are up a little bit this year, but last year a
[19:03]
lot of that is text and and all our texts with the
simulator. He's done a few more fittings this year
[19:10]
um through the manufacturer. So they'll come out
and do club fittings and he sold several sets
[19:14]
that way. So uh it's been pretty good. 225,000.
Again, we just so so you guys know, we get 5% of
[19:21]
this. This is all owned by the pro. Um it's their
they have an LLC. It all goes through them. So,
[19:26]
we're not liable for renting the merchandise, but
we do get 5% um as kind of their rent. Um but for
[19:33]
me, it's more more importantly, it just shows the
engagement that we're offering the customers what
[19:37]
they need when they come in. So, year-to- date
total revenue for the month of June, 766,000
[19:44]
for the year. We're up 320,000 over last year.
[clears throat] So, um, from a revenue standpoint,
[19:51]
our expenses are up a little bit just because of
many things. Staff costs did go up. The, you know,
[19:58]
just we've done a little bit more this year. Um,
so, but all in all though, keep trying to keep
[20:04]
that ratio of what we spend versus what we make
um, steady. We're doing a pretty good job there.
[20:09]
So, um, and then finally, the project funds. So
maybe um you you may or may not know kind of how
[20:18]
that works um the solar system, but we've got
um basically a project fund at the end of the
[20:23]
year on our in our general fund. Anything over $1
million that's left in the account gets put into
[20:28]
this project fund into the this general project
fund right here. Um so at the end of the year,
[20:35]
everything over $1 million gets put in here and
then from this fund, we have four sub funds that
[20:41]
we can put the money into. So, if we have anything
we're want to do in the clubouses um or on the
[20:46]
grounds on the golf course or if we need to buy
equipment uh we can move money from here into
[20:50]
one of these three buckets to be able to spend it.
Um the cart fund is kind of self-maintaining. So,
[20:56]
we have every uh $3 from every cart rental goes
to that fund. And we started with the sale of
[21:03]
our old broken down fleet of carts that we had
to kind of start with this. So, um where's the
[21:08]
rest of the money from every rental? You said
$3. It goes to our just our general operating
[21:15]
fun goes to the to that that individual club.
That's right. Yeah. Yeah. So, it was our cards
[21:20]
were $12. We raised that that to $15 to put $3 in
here. And the goal is to have a self-sustaining
[21:26]
funds and we always have new cards. So, when the
lease ends, we we can roll to that new lease and
[21:30]
be in a good spot to do stuff. Just go back to the
previous slide. Something's [clears throat] wrong
[21:36]
with the sale. That just doesn't look right. Oh,
the revenue is way up, huh? Oh, no. I'm looking
[21:43]
at the wrong line. Way down. Way down. Yeah, I was
looking at city hall. They're the ones making the
[21:48]
money. There's something wrong there. Sim. We need
to You'd be probably better audited than Well,
[21:55]
Sim doesn't have a driving range. They don't
have some of the other. That's true. And that
[21:59]
driving range is a big deal. It's I mean,
walkers long walker sim's always going to
[22:04]
be lower. Yeah. Are you saying lower compared to
previous year or lower compared to each other?
[22:10]
Yeah, I mean from before that's not a surprise
to me really. Year to day. No, it just without
[22:17]
the driving or without a lot of walkers without
there's just different things that they don't they
[22:21]
don't actually up year. Yeah, it is 30,000. He's
looking at that 122. Yeah. And that space there
[22:32]
just we don't have a lot of events because there
absolutely no space there to have events. So,
[22:37]
um, yeah, it's always going to be the lower. Um,
they do they do a lot of rounds normally. I've
[22:43]
got to look and look at that here in a second. See
why the last one was so slow down. But, um, yeah.
[22:50]
I got a question on the re on the merchandise.
5% goes to the city or the golf. Um, is is that
[23:01]
just gross their total number? That's not profit.
That's 5% of the Yes. Right. Okay. I was talking
[23:09]
to JV about maybe something to think about is
creating a window December, January or November
[23:19]
through January where that gets waved so they can
unload their inventory and not they can actually
[23:27]
go down to wholesale and and be able to not lose
that function. Well, so they could actually go to
[23:32]
cost blow it out so they're not losing money on
stuff, but I don't know. The margins aren't great
[23:38]
in post golf. I mean, they're not golf ball, not
the stuff that you sell. Golf balls are you just
[23:46]
that's just there because the cheap golf balls
are I mean the the clothing you you can make
[23:53]
some money. I'll probably wait a little bit. But
anyway, if we could think about creating a window,
[23:58]
even if it's just a month, where they can drop
have close all that out and they can when they're
[24:02]
ordering their new stuff, they're not lose it
on their old stuff. But if it's not a big deal,
[24:08]
then it's not a big deal. Well, we don't pay much
during those months anyway on our 5%. But um yeah,
[24:14]
our their contracts renew it at on January 1st
every year, so we can look at something. Yeah.
[24:20]
I mean, it's 5% margin. Yeah. Do a lot. Well,
that's what I was going to say. I don't know
[24:25]
how much they do mark up, but I can't imagine that
whole state plus 5% is gonna still affect a pretty
[24:31]
significant discount and we still get our little
piece of that still. So, seems like it gave a lot
[24:37]
of low and still pay their 5%. Typical markup if
you sold it without any kind of sale would try
[24:43]
to get around 30%. Getting 5%. almost nothing in
parallel life sells it. You almost have to have
[24:50]
it marked down at some. Yeah, there's different
techniques on how you do that, but um yeah, I
[24:56]
mean typically margins you're going to be running
22% and when you take the 5% out there's that's
[25:04]
Yeah. No, I mean just trying to give a a 30-day
window to [clears throat] where they can really
[25:10]
just cut down the cost and see what they can help
when people they got new merchandise. Exactly.
[25:17]
you're going to be less hesitant to order all
new insurance if you're just sitting on a bunch.
[25:24]
Um, yeah, like I said, as soon as I receive
the uh the financial report from finance,
[25:32]
I'll send that out email to everyone to
review. So, um, any questions about anything?
[25:42]
Hey, I didn't really go through this, but
everything looks pretty strong. There's a couple
[25:45]
of incumbrances here. Um, and then we got the the
big fund at the bottom still pretty healthy. Um,
[25:53]
talk about that at all from the card fund. Uh,
are you going to replace carts next year or the
[26:00]
year after? When does I set a reminder that for us
to talk about that at the September meeting? So,
[26:05]
get through this and then maybe um maybe we do
a do a walk through on it. I don't know. I can
[26:12]
get deep guys opinion. They're not they're not
bad. They're still still in pretty good shape
[26:16]
on the seats. We do have they sent brand new
seats. There's a little recall cuz the tucked
[26:22]
in at the bottom under the seat was coming
out. So, they we have a new brand new seat
[26:26]
for every cart that we own that we put on at
any time. Ours have not really had that issue,
[26:31]
but apparently some of the other also we have
brand new seats whenever we want them. Um,
[26:40]
and we really haven't had they've done a great
job keeping them up and repairing anything in
[26:43]
the front. Um, there's some cosmetic damage, you
know, different things obviously after four years,
[26:49]
but all in all, they're not terrible. So,
that would be a decision I think we need
[26:53]
to decide with the financial, how does
that look financially? Is it worth it
[26:57]
to do get new carts or do we need to go
in more? So, I'll put all that together
[27:03]
um if you're good with that, but that's
something I need. Right. I might even try to get
[27:14]
ready. You may know. Will that have to go back
out for bid or since they're already a current?
[27:21]
We start a new lease. Can we do that or we have
to bid that back out? It depends on what we have
[27:26]
written if they have renewal options on it. Okay.
Okay. So I think with Georgia we did what we had
[27:34]
the option to do. I think we did. So I'll gather
all that and we'll back we'll have a discussion.
[27:42]
Yeah. I guess somebody said something about the
tires the other day and I looked at one card and
[27:47]
it did look like tires were wearing but not a
big deal. I mean well that's the if we need I
[27:53]
can tell him I've got 20 tires to be replaced.
We'll have 20 tires here in two days. So that's
[27:59]
they do. You want to push it till I mean if you
got especially if you got new seeds I mean if
[28:04]
we go a year early we have to buy the rest of
that leaf so it just makes our next leation
[28:15]
[snorts]
[28:22]
that it for the uh financial update go okay
continuation of prior business the irrigation
[28:31]
updates. Well, um bring up speed. We we obviously
we replaced seven back. Now we're in the process
[28:38]
of uh getting text and Auburn done. Um we
just went through the bid process. We hired
[28:43]
a consultant. Um he did his initial designs.
He got those to us two weeks ago, maybe a
[28:49]
week ago. Probably um and now working with the
superintendent with Darren Seth to kind of tweak
[28:54]
the design that he laid out, make sure we have
everything where we want it. We're getting really
[28:59]
close. I'm kind of going back and forth. Right
now, I expect by the end of this week probably
[29:03]
will be in a good spot. Um, and then we'll use
his design and he that person will also serve kind
[29:08]
of as the project manager. So, we'll bid that out
to the contractors to come and do the work. He'll
[29:13]
make sure through the process they're doing it up
to his specs and hope that it goes pretty smooth.
[29:19]
Um, I will say his early estimations were probably
going to go a little bit over budget on both both
[29:25]
jobs. Um, which you knew was a possibility. some
complete guess and the price of the pipe because
[29:31]
of the price of oil has went up um quite a bit.
So, um it looks like we're potentially over about
[29:38]
200,000 per job. Um now, we did at MAC we were
under 300,000. So, we have a little cushion there
[29:45]
and then we may need to supplement. Um, the good
thing that I think is on our side is if when we
[29:53]
bid these out, I know there are a few contractors
that have some openings in the fall and have the
[29:58]
bandwidth to have two separate crews on site. They
can mobilize once. I I told him we and he agrees
[30:05]
we want two different project managers. I don't
want one person trying to do both. Uh, but he
[30:10]
thinks they're going to be very aggressive just
because it's a they're fairly easy jobs. um and
[30:15]
they can mobilize basically in one place and and
get it. So I think that will help. That'll be on
[30:20]
our side a little bit um when the bids come back,
but potentially uh we need to be prepared for a
[30:26]
little bit over. So we were originally thinking
like two for tax and 2.5 here. Yeah. And tax he
[30:35]
is estimate was 2.2 to 2.3 and here was 2.6. So
initial now we're still working on the design.
[30:43]
Right. So basically the way they come up with
that is they take how many heads you have. That's
[30:47]
estimated is between 23 and $2,500 per head and
then if there's any out of the normal areas like
[30:55]
where we have to bore across the streets here.
They kind of factor that into what they think it's
[31:00]
going to come back at. And then of course we hope
that someone bids us their their bid. Now they
[31:06]
he's very upfront that I'm going to give you kind
of an high expectation cuz I don't want to tell
[31:12]
you it's going to be 2.1 it comes back at 2.5 and
then you hate me. So I'm telling you kind of high
[31:17]
side and hopefully we get it better. So we may
come in right on budget but just cushion to work
[31:22]
with a little a little it's not enough to cover
if it comes back where he's 300k is can be used.
[31:31]
That's right. It's still basically in one. That's
right. That's right. Yep. [clears throat] Now,
[31:38]
we did have to spend 120,000 to get the um
basically the controls and everything working
[31:44]
out here. Uh which we were going to have to do
anyway with the new irrigation. So, um really that
[31:50]
300,000 you might as well say it's 200,000. Yeah,
cuz we that's compatible with this. Yeah. Yeah.
[32:00]
Yeah. So, uh hopefully by the end of the week or
early next week, we have the designs, everybody's
[32:07]
happy, sign off, and then we can start packaging
up and RFB to uh to send out probably that two,
[32:17]
three weeks and then see how we come back and
get somebody on contract and be ready to start.
[32:22]
We're hoping for aggressively November, early
December latest. That would put us at a probably
[32:29]
early April finish time, possibly late March,
depending on when doing both courses through
[32:36]
the winter time. Yeah. Two totally separate
groups. Could be the same company with two
[32:40]
totally separate groups. That's right. That'd be
good. That group doing allation systems and just
[32:47]
a little over two years. Yeah. Yeah. having that
done and behind it would be Max. Yeah, Max. So,
[32:55]
so at at MAG and I haven't been there yet, but I
talked to a couple guys that were out there and
[33:01]
they said that it's looking really good except for
the area where they trenched and then they put the
[33:06]
sod back over that that still hasn't taken and
just started to turn. There's been improvements
[33:13]
there. Some of the areas have they up well and
some have not at all. So, yeah, I like I said,
[33:18]
I haven't been out to see them. I just Yeah.
Yeah. So, there's nothing like crazy terrible,
[33:24]
but there's definitely uh played out there
last week and the ball landed right in the
[33:29]
scene. Couldn't find it and it was that far
under the ground where it was in probably the
[33:32]
worst spot on the golf course. Um but yeah,
there there definitely some spots and we will
[33:37]
uh they will come up probably back in the fall
and redo what they need to for that. So, okay,
[33:47]
it's kind of a let give give it time, let it
do what it's supposed to do, and if it there's
[33:52]
problems, we'll come back and take there were a
lot of compliments on the bunkers on red bunkers
[33:57]
and stuff, but a lot of guys said they like that.
It's great. You know, we had that five six inch
[34:04]
rain and the next morning they were dry as it
would be. Last year, we got one inch of rain, they
[34:09]
were up to the top of water for three days. So,
it was they're definitely doing their job. Good.
[34:19]
I'll do it on the water bill. Yeah, this turn on
uh city water four days Thursday or Friday. Um so
[34:28]
yeah, we're we're using city water right
now. Unfortunately, when it's this hot,
[34:31]
we're using a lot of city water, so it's
going to be it's going to be expensive.
[34:35]
Um, we are looking at trying to come up with
a way to put that retention bigger retention
[34:41]
pond between 10 and 18 U where that group of
trees are. That would allow us, we were just
[34:46]
talking before the meeting when even during that
big rain when we had we lost a ton of water fill
[34:52]
up and then we're just watching all that water
that we need run off down the road. So, uh, if
[34:56]
we can get that pond in place, we can collect that
water and that would give us another 3 4 weeks of
[35:03]
of water when we need it when it's it's dry. So,
we definitely could use some some rain right now.
[35:13]
Any other questions, comments, or
concerns on irrigation? [clears throat]
[35:21]
Well, I'd like to talk about
some blue muted conversion.
[35:25]
Sam, I'll go over it, but you'll be able
to answer questions much better. So,
[35:32]
um I know we talked about this and I
don't think I can think you were here and
[35:38]
um I bring you up speed. We're looking at
at SIM doing a blue muda conversion. So,
[35:43]
the fairways right now um we're going to
add basically oversee with a blueg grass
[35:49]
where they they don't compete with each other.
You have a much better turf year round. Um,
[35:54]
so that's that's kind of the goal. We've looked
at several courses, some in the area. Um,
[36:03]
went down and looked the fairways are awesome
down there and then there's several Joplin,
[36:07]
Springfield, Lake, the Ozarks we've talked to and
everyone's had great success with. Yeah. Yeah. So,
[36:14]
um, kind of gave you this print out with
a timeline of what this looks like. Um,
[36:18]
a lot of prep work that won't really affect play.
might notice a little bit um some of the areas may
[36:24]
turn yellow just a little bit later this month
um just because he's going to scalp them down,
[36:29]
but um it really won't affect play. Um but we're
going to start blasting this out and let everyone
[36:34]
know what's going on um here probably next week.
Um, but a lot of the prep work that he can speak
[36:42]
on that if if anybody has questions, but the
we're going to go through Labor Day and then
[36:47]
uh September 8th through 11th basically will be
when we we do do the seat. We're also going to
[36:53]
take that time to um do punch the greens since
we're already going to be down. That way we're
[36:59]
not having to close back up for something else.
Um we'll be walking only for 10 days because
[37:06]
the fairways will be extremely wet and then we'll
switch to cart path only for we'll play about here
[37:12]
two three weeks maybe maybe four weeks um just to
make because they are going to have to stay pretty
[37:17]
wet with that seed and then um when Jerry meets
comfortable with it we'll open back up but um to
[37:24]
90° but um I think overall this is going to make a
huge difference going to be a m big improvement at
[37:30]
the golf course And uh just like you know what we
did at text a few years ago when we had the winter
[37:38]
kill. I think if we do this right and let everyone
know and communicate very well, people are going
[37:42]
to be happy that we're doing something to improve
the be a minor uh minor short inconvenience for
[37:49]
a long-term much better. Yeah. If it's a home
run there then back. Yeah. Yeah. And you didn't
[37:56]
do the two holes that you talked about a few
months ago. No, we we after we started looking
[38:00]
and talking to everybody and looked at the cost,
it's it's just right at 40,000 start to finish to
[38:05]
do the whole golf course. No, let's do it. And
worst case scenario, some this won't happen,
[38:11]
but if somehow it didn't take, we're right where
we start. Yeah, we're out a little money, but
[38:16]
it's going to Yeah, it's it's so um you can jump
in and add it and send your people if you want.
[38:21]
If you want to come you want to sit right there
just so the microphone can pick you up over here.
[38:28]
I have a couple [clears throat] questions. Okay.
Um, so here you're, if I'm reading this right,
[38:34]
you're saying the first date that things might be
shaky in terms of normal playing will be later. We
[38:39]
can't start the stuff that starts at 8 September.
The no stop that interferes with play. That makes
[38:47]
play wonky. The Labor Day leaves on the 7th. So,
we're going to do the 8th. So, the 8th start,
[38:54]
right? That's the weekend. That's where you're
going to start that there be some issues with
[38:58]
normal play. Right. My concern is we have two home
team plays later that month. I think only two. I
[39:05]
just texted to make sure. Um besides regular late
days, late days on Tuesdays, we post team play,
[39:14]
but I think it's just the last two. So I
think we'll have I think what we looked up,
[39:19]
we saw them and they were 24th, 18th, and 25th.
Okay. Not even close. Okay. We looked up a little
[39:25]
bit. the 25th are both at home, but the other two
September Fridays we track. It will probably be
[39:31]
car path only by that point. Yeah, they won't. So,
we'll just have to see if we can figure out to go
[39:37]
maybe switch our home for day four when these team
events cancel. They cancel they postponed. Yeah,
[39:45]
there's there's too many seniors that do that.
So, the 18th is within that walk only window.
[39:54]
So that one will need to be I'm pretty
sure I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure Ken me see
[40:05]
I think we mentioned something to him about ladies
days. I'm not sure. Was he thinking of team played
[40:13]
basketball? Okay. Would the groups be up? I mean,
is that kind of the point is to play it at your
[40:18]
your court? We do home and away alternate by year
and yeah, I mean, I don't think our girls are
[40:24]
going to the same girls won't yell and scream
about going someplace else. The problem is if
[40:28]
they haven't already if let's say well the 18th
of the Will event hasn't already set aside that
[40:33]
day. There may be some other a tournament or
something that they we one of our so it would
[40:42]
be like a mutual site. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, let
me let me check on that. Okay. Now that I know
[40:49]
for sure which ones will be affected. Yeah.
Okay. We'll we'll work through something.
[40:57]
I call scalding knock out grass
to be seated. Yes. So basically
[41:01]
what we're doing is right now there's
still goose grass dry grass left over
[41:10]
the weed. So later this week I'm thinking
[41:15]
this time next week we're going to start hearing
yellow be a number of weeks and as we're doing
[41:21]
this I'm also in the process of dropping high
a little bit every week because we received
[41:28]
um everything still playing properly
faster you know things that um now the
[41:37]
cuts can be a little tighter so with all setting
[41:41]
different um but just make sure we get a
seed as best chance. So when you're receding,
[41:51]
are you reseing the Bermuda and the blue? Yeah.
So yeah. So basically what it does is these work
[41:57]
together and so you either see I'm using a
four-way gland going two different direction.
[42:09]
So the thing is is like your fall time,
winter time, early spring, your blue rass
[42:14]
your most dominant grass. So you're going to
bring grass to your run element. Plus it's
[42:17]
going to be the car truck that we have in the
winter time. It's going to stand up the grass
[42:20]
stand be show up from the car truck we have. We
still play the offse early summer hot summers.
[42:36]
So they work together back then and
bluegrass is perennial. So he come back here.
[42:47]
Yeah. That's very interesting.
[42:52]
Little paddles back. Yeah. So actually
my last property I was at in Oklahoma
[42:59]
number years ago. I did some team off with
this. It turned out phenomenal to this day.
[43:05]
um a lot of course I was over in southeast
Kansas only courses in my area over there
[43:11]
and so I was able to see firsthand start idea
but I see people do this grass is going to do
[43:16]
with grass as well as well and my thing is like
definitely one of the positives definitely neg
[43:31]
issues with never road bikes like
that. Um so the public definite
[43:54]
how's the irrigation system work as far because
you're going to do this evenings and you have
[43:58]
to keep them moist so playable areas you know
irrigation system works pretty well. One thing
[44:04]
I've noticed though, they are very sandy a lot of
areas. So the water does go through quite a bit
[44:10]
through this process here. I'm actually ordering
a bunch of obtaining wing to spray air that's
[44:17]
going to help hold that water and that same water
board [clears throat] maximizing for us. You're
[44:24]
going to spray what it's called retaining
agent. So retention. So basically instead
[44:30]
the water going straight through a profile this
chemical is going to be in profiles that's going
[44:34]
to help hold that water there. Okay where it's
going to maximize the water like right now you
[44:40]
know I got water next day we're doing that
but we should definitely start seeing more
[44:52]
every year or if it works out well it's
free monthly monthly. Okay, like that. Um,
[44:58]
obviously you can definitely tell the we
don't have irrigation in like the rush.
[45:01]
They're starting to turn grown out. Um, one
of the boxes the heads probably should place
[45:09]
on a different side of the P box the
max watering where we have some heads
[45:13]
that's on the north side of the P box. You
know, we have a predominantly south of man
[45:17]
most of the year. So you'll see some areas
that there's [clears throat] the most part
[45:28]
went through full. Yeah, they've got years. Yeah,
they've had their back n for the front n was three
[45:36]
years, two years. Oh, okay. So it's and then
they back on it for a year and the blueg grass
[45:41]
is come back every single and they I think
they said after the first year they had very
[45:46]
very minimal seating spot here and there just
to make sure I filled in. Um but um everybody
[45:51]
else I know has done this they've all done very
very minimal that's a game changer. [laughter]
[46:01]
Yeah. [clears throat] And the blue guys
stand the traffic. I mean because all
[46:05]
of our groceries are getting you know
40 50,000 pounds a year. Yeah. So one
[46:09]
of the horses that um definitely was
the first to do this over in Jerusale
[46:16]
they're pack they had pumps like me right
here. They might not do as many rounds
[46:21]
like Texas [clears throat] and it's handled
beautifully. They've had it for a number of
[46:26]
years now. Couple of horses over spring.
Same thing. Um the city forced the car
[46:32]
reser I just switched over this last year
well and a couple hosts there right on top
[46:41]
and I'm sorry if you covered this and I
missed it because I have to think about
[46:45]
these things a lot. This is not my field. Um,
we don't have a lot. We don't have irrigation
[46:50]
in the rough and you're receiving the
roof and No, I'm not receiving. Oh,
[46:55]
okay. We're doing fairways and detox. I was going
to say, how are we going to keep the secret? Yeah,
[46:59]
the rough are going to be. So, what do you
difference of how much how tall we can cut the
[47:06]
parways? So, when we when everything is all
grown in, I mean, as of a couple weeks ago,
[47:12]
I was keeping the 600,000 of the inch just
because that's where we're at. Um, moving forward,
[47:16]
we'll probably stay right around saying that,
you know, and like, [clears throat] you know,
[47:22]
changing seasonally like for the the winter
months, maybe go a little higher. Um,
[47:26]
my thing that is typically with the blue grass,
most people I know do not go much higher. I do
[47:33]
have it in my notes to where, you know, on the
where, you know, depending what we're seeing
[47:36]
with with the curve where we can always bump
up a little higher, if we need to be, you know,
[47:40]
we need to go up to three quarters, we could or we
go a little higher. I mean who wants to do that?
[47:51]
So I definitely think this be a game
changer for you know said [snorts]
[47:59]
it would be something good. Have we talked
about the associated cost of this just Yep. All
[48:05]
all in start to finish with every chemical every
everything just spread out. Okay. I was thinking
[48:10]
that was you just that's that's the overseating.
Yeah. I mean, I know that's what you're doing
[48:17]
technically, but public results, not just for
three months, not just Okay. So, just so I
[48:26]
can get the message out to my group, we'll have a
ladies day on September 8th. That's you're saying
[48:33]
you're going to see it. September 8th. Oh, okay.
All right. Labor Day is on the seventh, right?
[48:49]
Do any of the courses uh irrigate the rough? Is
it I mean I guess I'm asking for tanks. Tanks can
[48:57]
have Yeah. Yeah. I mean there's irrigation not
as much the fairway as two or three rows in the
[49:04]
fairway and pretty much one on the outside. Yeah.
tax is going to have I think it was,71 heads is
[49:10]
where we're at right now where Sam had six 658
or something like that. A lot bigger piece of
[49:18]
ground and it's wall to wall basically. So
the last thing we want to do is put a new
[49:24]
irrigation system and then everything between
the holes dies and looks terrible. So yeah,
[49:28]
it's going to be an interesting golf
course with irrigation. Yeah, the Arizona
[49:36]
know [clears throat]
[49:39]
where my ball seems all the way dirt. What if that
part? Yeah, but there's a lot of different. Yeah,
[49:48]
we will. I mean I think once we get this
once we get through this year this going
[49:51]
to be a year and we know all the stuff
right here this way we can start steps
[49:56]
to start fixing the rough you know there that
is get things fixed that's going to be most
[50:06]
how much
[50:10]
that's reason why we're keeping taller is because
of all the traffic that I'm doing two and a half
[50:15]
in as opposed to try to handle we have and stuff
like that because when I got there last fall it
[50:21]
all beat and beat down and so if I do keep a
little taller you know whereas we're going to
[50:26]
stand and we're not going to have a lot of yeah
I just know you know around 150 out from 183 on
[50:35]
that east side yeah yeah take a long way to get
to the rest of the yeah does this upper seating
[50:46]
include the T boxes as well. Todd, fairways
and brushes. Did forestry make it out today?
[50:54]
Lorenzo came by and we thought a little bit
trying to get John back over there. He thought
[50:58]
they probably get free to circum the one thing
we're looking at today primarily number nine
[51:04]
T box is back in that corner and all the stuff
on the outside of the golf course is grown up.
[51:09]
There's no air flow. There's all that just
keep we can't grow grass right there. So,
[51:13]
we're looking at some way to thin that out a
little bit. Um, we really need to over time
[51:18]
get that pole fence line down through there
because it just blocks all the air flow to
[51:23]
help for two decades. Right. Right. So in the
very front box. [clears throat] Yes. The very
[51:33]
back T box there. We get all that shaft and
all the trees there all up at least 9 ft. Get
[51:38]
some air flow through there. By doing that will
definitely be able to grow grass there. you know,
[51:44]
where I've got the soil works where there's
nothing wrong with the soil and tea losses. It's
[51:47]
it's air flow and shape. So, they told us that
the first time like 20 years ago, and I thought,
[51:52]
well, they cut down some dead trees. [laughter]
I got the [clears throat] answer to this. I don't
[51:57]
know nothing about last year that that big green
was gone once those teas were gone. The green's
[52:03]
hanging in pretty good. But one thing with that
is is I was able to grab on the old pants from CL
[52:08]
last week. Instead of doing that whereby eight
grain back to four grain same airflow issue I
[52:16]
can take it back to port on the green there.
Yeah. Great idea. Got that pan that runs off
[52:24]
a generator and it was unclap. I didn't even know
that they existed but it was on the back back of
[52:29]
the maintenance barn at Mac and pulled it up. Is
that area back there is that botanic or is that
[52:36]
far? It's part it's right up against a riverbank
for the most part. So it's park technically,
[52:42]
but it's not a usable part of the park. It's
just grown up there. The park is kind of on
[52:45]
the other side of that. I'm just curious if we
need to get somebody's blessing or something.
[53:01]
Just say yes and we'll move on.
[53:07]
Okay. Uh, any more questions about
the bloom and uh that process.
[53:15]
Okay.
[53:19]
Guess we'll move on then to uh new items for
consideration. We're we're at a point of the
[53:24]
year where it's just trying to survive. We're not
trying to start a lot of new projects other than
[53:29]
this. So, uh, we have a lot of things lined up
for the fall we'll be talking about for the next
[53:33]
couple meetings, but right now I don't have a lot.
I'm just trying to keep our heads above water. So,
[53:38]
I I rechecked that area after we talked the other
day out on seven by where you said that car path.
[53:43]
If you go five steps past the walking bridge,
right, right there, right, where is where it's
[53:50]
eroding away and you don't have the maybe six,
eight inches of soil there, right? And then I
[53:55]
saw where uh I think Darren put some some rock
kind of down in there to to try to keep it from
[54:02]
from washing the soil and stuff away. Yeah. And
it is a very temporary very It'll help. It's not
[54:10]
going to do a lot and it's very expensive. That
little spot right there was about $1,500. Yeah.
[54:15]
because he and then somebody uh I can't remember
who told me this and I don't even know if it's
[54:20]
true or not but somebody told me that they were
going to put you know how they did that rock at
[54:27]
uh Texas solver along nine there big rock like
that like they were going to do rock like that
[54:33]
on part of that the reason we were able to do that
in Texas that rock exist in Pony Prairie Park and
[54:42]
we just they said we were we could use it so we
didn't pay for anything other than the work and we
[54:46]
did it all in house and they did a phenomenal job
as to So you're thinking the pond on that? Yeah,
[54:56]
just that creek on seven. [clears throat]
Somebody said something about doing a a wall
[55:01]
retaining wall right there. Yeah, which got me
thinking about that eroded area. If you could
[55:07]
do something with rock and and I don't know, we we
had the engineers come in and we're still waiting
[55:13]
on them to get back kind of what [clears throat]
their suggestions and kind of what it would look
[55:17]
like for the path and for that that wall. Um but
yeah, there's every pond out here as we know has
[55:23]
got a lot of um erosion and that one on seven.
We were looking at possibly doing a wall there,
[55:29]
whether it's wood, concrete, rocks, whatever. And
that's what we're kind of waiting on them to get
[55:34]
back to. Would that be in the flood plane?
There's so much permitting and everything's
[55:38]
got to be signed off and you don't know a lot
more about this than I can, but um we haven't
[55:44]
gotten that back from me. It's been four or
five weeks now. Hopefully have that any day.
[55:49]
Um yeah, we we're going to have to address that.
And it's not just there. It's number two, number
[55:54]
four, number uh pretty much every pond out here.
Number one. Um number one's probably that I can
[56:03]
tell 6 8 ft in from where it started because the
150 ponds out in the water. So that obviously used
[56:10]
to be fairway. Um so yeah, there there's a lot
of expense that we're going to have to figure out
[56:14]
with ponds out here. Uh luckily the other I mean
we have rosen out the other pushes but they're not
[56:20]
in a place where it's that it doesn't matter as
much here it's this far from the green on forward
[56:27]
on the cart path on on the side. Yeah. So do you
have to get approval through the engineers for
[56:34]
any of the pond work or is it just that specific
one that runs down there by step if it falls in
[56:41]
the designated flood plane they're yeah they
have to be involved. I would definitely get
[56:45]
them involved. Last thing I want to do is create a
problem on accident, you know, the area. So, yeah,
[56:51]
they'll have to be involved. Now, what they may
come out say, you know, technically you won't need
[56:57]
a permit for this, but you will for this type is
the we're talking about the bridge also the bridge
[57:04]
is out on on seven. Yeah. Yeah. The walking bridge
is double turns. Is it remember that is that
[57:11]
common knowledge that the bridge is going away
because it's gotten I'm just I I I have I've had
[57:19]
my ear bent by a few loud voices um who are pretty
distressed by that. Yeah. And people think we can
[57:25]
just fix the railing and be done. It's the bridge
is about to fall in but underneath that's eroded
[57:30]
so far back. There's a piece of concrete that's
should have dirt underneath it and it's sticking
[57:35]
up as far. That's what's holding it's just going
away. It's gone. Yeah. And that was not an option.
[57:39]
That's we were told. Okay, you're done. Yeah, shut
that down. So, uh, we were looking at possibly
[57:51]
[clears throat] adding a walking bridge on the
down a little ways on to the if you're playing
[57:56]
the home more to the left of where it currently
is where it's a little bit more narrow. Um,
[58:00]
but again, [snorts] that's expensive.
It's in a flood plan. A lot more than
[58:04]
just you can't just build a little wave
in the water. Yeah, [laughter] exactly.
[58:15]
That's what it is several times. Getting the word.
Yeah. Said he was getting a bunch of complaints
[58:21]
about the bridges bridge. I mean I people come
to me all the time. I'll come out there tonight
[58:26]
bring it with a hammer and a couple nails. Big
set of Yeah. People think it's the railway and
[58:30]
I tried telling it's not the railway. I said,
"Look underneath there. You can actually see the
[58:34]
concrete pylon and the dirt on this side of it
has all washed away. It's all I mean, if you if
[58:41]
you stop and take a look at it, you can see pretty
easily." I don't think anybody that I'm talking
[58:45]
to is saying you could fix it, but you won't.
They're just saying there has to be a fix of some
[58:50]
kind because the cartels laid out so poorly that
for a walker or even if I'm if I'm in your cart,
[58:58]
but I hit to the right of the green. Yeah. Right.
I don't want to have to go in my car a stupid way
[59:04]
and then walk back trucks. I mean, sure. Yeah. I'm
not hearing anybody say you guys should be able to
[59:09]
fix it. They're saying you should find a solution.
I wish they would have picked a car path where
[59:13]
it's at now. If over the kept it on that side and
went around the back of the It's just a badly laid
[59:20]
out. So, I don't know anything about bridges, but
I would think that if you started back far enough
[59:26]
and went far enough and did like a steel, like I
said, I've been a bridge expert for a few years,
[59:33]
but if you did, you know, I don't know what the
cost is, but it will affect a lot of the walkers
[59:39]
and I'll live. Yeah. Or learn to jump. When I
make a video tomorrow just kind of zoom in off
[59:48]
the underside of it just to let people know it's
not just that we're ignoring that maybe. That's
[59:53]
the best way to do it. Just gone and then I'm
not going to comment. So just post it. [laughter]
[1:00:00]
Well, lucky we're the minority,
not the majority. So, no car.
[1:00:09]
I mean, not for when I first got here, one of the
first things people wanted to bridge between uh
[1:00:14]
five and six. I did 100. I mean, yeah, it would
be be great. You used to be able to jump back
[1:00:21]
a bags to be done and used to a little walking
bridge that cost $60,000. No, I get it's a huge
[1:00:28]
cost. [snorts] Yeah, got bigger problems. How
wide is that crete? As you get closer towards
[1:00:36]
the white and blue TE's down there, is it any
more narrow as it goes down that way? I haven't
[1:00:46]
I haven't ever went back and looked in there.
I'm just curious. Oh, right. If if it's you
[1:00:52]
say you know where the walking bridge is now
if back towards the white and blue tea boxes
[1:00:57]
a little further 20 or 30 yards back this way
the creek stay that yeah it gets real thick with
[1:01:02]
trees and brush and so I don't know the tea box
I really don't know how wide it is because it's
[1:01:08]
big yeah I don't get the right it's pretty deep
other options yeah something still pondering the
[1:01:18]
change of the cart that you were talking about
yeah feedback back is not that was another
[1:01:22]
thing we're waiting on the engineers like just
going to get their what they suggested there but
[1:01:27]
um the feedback's not been real great on that
so I don't think everybody understands because
[1:01:35]
I didn't understand when you first told us I don't
either I'd like to go and see what you're talking
[1:01:39]
about and after I talked to you that day and then
I stopped there and I looked and then I could see
[1:01:44]
yeah here's what he's talking about right here so
literally you know and then you go down you make
[1:01:48]
the left and then go over the bridge or up where
you make that left the bond you're this far from
[1:01:53]
the water and it's eroding back. So that piece
of carpet we either have to shore that up quickly
[1:01:58]
or rewrap that carpet because it's fall and so
there's more to it than just by that wall washer
[1:02:04]
on or the wall washer. Yeah. Uh just past the just
past the red TE's where if you're on at the cart
[1:02:11]
where you make the left to go along the creek and
then right over the bridge right where you make
[1:02:14]
that like first turn there bridge you'll see that
so you just cut across and then I saw go straight
[1:02:26]
to the bridge and you won't have to worry about
being and so a walker who's going to the red te's
[1:02:36]
and just walk that way to the left side. The
left side. Okay. And then from there, you would
[1:02:44]
just walk straight to where car would go on 18.
Stop. Walk over just like people in the cars do
[1:02:54]
without adding another parking bridge.
I don't know. There's no other way.
[1:03:01]
I mean, I would like to get the big
boulders like that. It looked fantastic
[1:03:16]
there's [clears throat] something that they
would use. Oh yeah, there's a lot of good
[1:03:21]
grasses. I mean, any good grass will use,
but that stuff that is in the Flint Hills,
[1:03:25]
what's that stuff called? That buffalo grass.
That's what they say. That's what they always
[1:03:31]
They take kids to the nature center and they
Let me show you the cross section. Those huge
[1:03:38]
roots go down. That spread. Is it dangerous?
Yeah. It's a It's a hot weather grass just
[1:03:45]
like a Bermuda. It's a hot weather grass. I just
wonder if that could take the moisture that it
[1:03:52]
would get in a area like that down to a tree and
maybe it can. Okay. I don't know. You would want
[1:03:59]
Yeah. Last thing I want to do is try to fix
that and something. Well, there's no shade.
[1:04:06]
That's why you have to stay away from Bermuda
because it goes underneath sidewalks and
[1:04:10]
driveways. But yeah, you don't want any. You
got enough of that problem. You don't have
[1:04:14]
much here. But well, I'm just thinking if we
have so many places where erosion is a problem,
[1:04:20]
there might be an easier fix if we I don't get
to do our due diligence and study that a little
[1:04:28]
bit. Yeah. So we have a one of the neighbors on
number two. So if you're teeing off on number two,
[1:04:34]
that pond to the left, that's not really
in play on the far side. There's a strip
[1:04:37]
of land there that didn't realize that's part
of the golf course. So we get now. Uh but that
[1:04:43]
pond the erosion, they the trees were growing
up and it was blocking their view of the golf
[1:04:47]
course. So they asked if we could cut them
down. We were told absolutely. We cut the
[1:04:52]
top of them down. Forester came out and was nice
enough to to knock [clears throat] them in half,
[1:04:56]
but they were engineered. So you cut those trees
down and that pond that wall is gone. If you take
[1:05:00]
those trees up here. Yeah. Rail system is
how potent they are. Exactly. Exactly. So
[1:05:09]
and they were super We met with them over
there and we we went over and you know
[1:05:12]
they fully understand it. But those trees
you cut them in half they grow three times
[1:05:16]
faster after that. They probably already 8
in taller than they were two weeks ago when
[1:05:22]
we did it. So probably a river approach or
something. Yeah. [clears throat] What's just
[1:05:26]
an offthe-wall question? What's the cost of
a water station? Just what do you currently
[1:05:30]
have out here? Just what a water station to a
jug and the enclosure and everything with Oh,
[1:05:36]
wouldn't I mean if you order it through a golf
company, they're about 1,800 for the stand,
[1:05:42]
I believe. And are these order out
here? I say Aubra could use three aside.
[1:05:51]
These ones, I believe, and they paint them
every year. I was trying to think what's out
[1:05:54]
here. They they pay them every year. Um I mean
we can't spend 10 grand at every golf course,
[1:06:00]
but we can build them for we get someone that just
learning skills with that. Yeah. I just wonder why
[1:06:07]
Aubbert has two and has three aside and bad on
that one. How many Sam have a side? Three. Sonic.
[1:06:18]
Right now we have 74. same and tax is kind of
funny because you pass every when you're walking
[1:06:28]
it's hot. So we took that one down. We put a
new one down. Okay. So it's over the houses.
[1:06:34]
Then when you get to 17 here and it's busy it's
it's empty and you're kind of struggling for
[1:06:42]
those of us who don't have to walk this course.
What do you mean? When you get to 16 17t, a lot
[1:06:50]
of times in the summer that thing's done by the
time we get to it. But depending on time of day,
[1:06:55]
if you had three, you wouldn't have that concern.
It's not a big deal. It's just I've said it. Well,
[1:07:02]
it's big deal today. It was It was fine today.
Yeah. Yeah. The big complaint I had in the last
[1:07:10]
couple weeks is that they're not being filled
soon enough. Oh, I'll say it back in Sam and
[1:07:17]
this is unfortunate, but we fill them and then we
have unhoused folks that come and fill up three
[1:07:23]
gallons of Happens every day. Yeah, cuz we get a
call, we're like, we just filled that 30 minutes
[1:07:32]
ago. It's impossible. People are doing Yeah. Not
so much here. Here. Yellow. That's his fault.
[1:07:45]
And the problem is you don't know if it's
empty till it's empty and you're ready to teal,
[1:07:48]
right? You're not going to get water yet. Just
an idea. Yeah. And it's not a bad idea. I mean,
[1:07:56]
they got to the side, but they stuck another one
and have three aside, so it would only it wouldn't
[1:08:01]
be. Yeah. I really enjoy Texas. Texas has ice
cold water and they're always got always full
[1:08:07]
always got water in. Another thing I want to look
at here is our encourse bathrooms. They're they're
[1:08:13]
terrible. The structures are terrible. The w they
have water fountains they had that are shut down,
[1:08:19]
but we could add those back and get those
function. Yeah, they they need a lot of work, but
[1:08:23]
that would be five and it 14. Yeah. So, that could
be another option there. Yeah. Without running
[1:08:32]
out. Just as good if you have the water rest down.
If we added the fountain with the you know film
[1:08:41]
what needs to be done to the built the restrooms
themselves. They're brick buildings are cracked
[1:08:46]
one on five so that crack that line. So what has
to be done? Is it tear down and start over? Is it
[1:08:54]
I need to get someone to come out and look at
it. Um, which work this week. I I really I can
[1:09:02]
look at it and tell you that it looks terrible.
I don't know if that's a something you can fix or
[1:09:06]
something that is too foundation settled to where
the building. Yeah. The what do you call that? The
[1:09:15]
center block. Yeah. It's I mean it's got cracks
this big on the outside of the building. So just
[1:09:21]
puts that phone in the ground and it works. I say
that sounds like somebody knew what they're doing.
[1:09:26]
And there might be a way there. I don't actually
we have a guy in the W club that he does him and
[1:09:32]
his dad do that for a living and I he went over
to Dave B's house and his garage floor had it
[1:09:39]
sunk like 2 in and they came in and they jacked
it up and same thing I sprayed it with some foam
[1:09:45]
stuff or something underneath there and that was
super take a look and see what was all we needed.
[1:09:56]
That's right. Watch that. Can't
look any worse than Texas videos,
[1:10:03]
but yeah, if he can talk about if he can look
at that'd be great. Yeah, his name's Ben Camden,
[1:10:08]
but I would ask him to come out, take a look, and
just see if he can tell what [clears throat] the
[1:10:12]
way the foundation is, where the crack is, and if
it's something he thinks he could do because Yeah,
[1:10:18]
what they do would be great. Just to get a
initial painting started. Men's club. Men's club
[1:10:22]
here. Yeah. Jeff V. Is Jeff Van still playing
there or does he play on the weekend? Well,
[1:10:28]
he played Well, he's he's a nice I just know
him from Yeah. Okay. I didn't know like did
[1:10:36]
I knock a scab off? I didn't know you two
had a beef. I was trying to be funny. Oh,
[1:10:41]
okay. That's why. No, but Well, he he does he he
does work great. But he probably could actually
[1:10:50]
work out here and those steps over there. I can
do all that. He's pretty good at what he does.
[1:11:00]
Okay. How's the uh mowers? Yeah, the little Oh,
back there. Yeah. So, we expanded the areas. We
[1:11:11]
bought a second one. We've expanded and I been out
there a lot. You can see I mean there there's no
[1:11:17]
person alive that can cut cleaner than what those
things I mean there's perfect. So we've expanded
[1:11:21]
multiple areas and he's kind of gotten more
familiar with how to set them up and how to use
[1:11:25]
them. They're doing great. So So this guy will set
them out there each day and pick them up again.
[1:11:30]
Yeah. Yeah. So each mower now he has I don't know
how three or four zones. So he has to take them
[1:11:35]
from zone one to zone two to zone three. So you
have to manually transport. He's got a little
[1:11:39]
trailer he hooks behind his deal that it fits
on perfect. Um, and yeah, he's they're working
[1:11:44]
awesome. They look Is it same ones as reflections?
Uh, same concept, different brand. They about 28
[1:11:51]
of them. I think they got as far as this is the
next next tire staff. Yeah. All you go out there,
[1:12:00]
they're everywhere. They're everywhere. But it's
immaculate. Yeah. So, these don't require an
[1:12:05]
antenna or point of abuse out on them. That's the
one problem we've had. There's a spot up by the
[1:12:11]
putting green and it gets under that tree and it
loses a signal and then it just starts spinning it
[1:12:15]
like it doesn't know what to Oh, that's hilarious.
So, it gets Yeah. So, it uses RTK then it's using
[1:12:21]
satellite. Yeah. Yeah. It sends out a message
basically says Yeah. And that's only right. You
[1:12:29]
still have your fairway mowers and green. We don't
have the fairway. We That's what Reflection is
[1:12:37]
doing too though. just commons and right we looked
at uh we went to Waw Country Club. They've got two
[1:12:44]
of the big Toro fairway mowers that are automated
or you can flip them and get on them and use them.
[1:12:52]
They had mixed reviews on a lot of trying to
get it ironed out the way you want it. So yeah,
[1:13:00]
but those are typically full-time employees
anyway, correct? They're not seasonal or fair. the
[1:13:05]
people that do the fairway. [snorts] Well, someone
that's has the experience. Yeah. Exactly. Yep. So,
[1:13:16]
yeah. I mean, I'm definitely very pleased with
what those mowers are doing at Mac and I know
[1:13:23]
I had, you know, I had a comment but the last few
meetings, you know, 17 when you're playing at not
[1:13:29]
Island, but the R3 kind of down the hill with the
water in front, man. When after that thing's done
[1:13:34]
and you're standing on that T box, it looks Yeah,
it's insane how much better it looks. Str lines,
[1:13:40]
everything. So, it does cuts to a butter piece
quarter inch accuracy. Those are right at 6,000.
[1:13:51]
There's a subscription I think this year or
something like that. Yeah. And now there's
[1:14:01]
a setup. It's $1,500 for the kit to get it
all going, but you can use that for if you
[1:14:06]
buy 50 of them only. Oh, okay. So, yeah. So, but
the 795 is per M. 795 a year per mower, right?
[1:14:18]
Um, name Bonnie and then they
told me to change their names
[1:14:24]
to them and Louise. They just can't get closer.
[1:14:30]
close to a clear.
[1:14:34]
What's the uh what's the run time on those? I
mean, how long can they go before he has to take
[1:14:38]
it back and have it recharge with the TV? How
old Jeremy on Xbox? I'm not sure on those ones.
[1:14:48]
8 hours maybe. I think it's so many. I can't
remember. I think that was eight hours. I mean,
[1:14:55]
they're worthless if somebody steals them, but
you still have people that don't know that,
[1:14:58]
right? So, he tries to run them when he's
there. Yeah. It's funny you say that. Today,
[1:15:04]
he had it turned off, so I was kind of I was
going to steal this. How hard it would be,
[1:15:08]
you know? It I mean, you don't just grab
it. Reflections are pretty small. Yeah,
[1:15:15]
these are a little bit bigger than those.
Yeah, you definitely could, but it Yeah.
[1:15:23]
Yeah. I mean, vandalism, they he deals with it
at his shop every day. It's unbelievable. So,
[1:15:31]
no matter what we have, somehow
things are going to happen. So,
[1:15:34]
yeah. Tell them about your
step a couple weeks ago or no
[1:15:44]
clothing optional apparently at Sim
Maintenance. Wasn't homeless after hours.
[1:15:51]
We had a nightly two weeks ago and um
they were out playing and I guess we all
[1:16:04]
that's an interesting neighborhood. So
every day we I had an incident today that
[1:16:09]
had called police at back. So it's non-stop.
A golfer or non golfer? Non-golfer. Well,
[1:16:16]
and when you play the police always. Yeah.
It's very busy. Y was the I'm just curious
[1:16:24]
now. You got me going. Was the incident
over in the homeless area by the shelter
[1:16:31]
houses and stuff. The one we're talking about.
Yeah. Is in my maintenance yard. Yeah. So like
[1:16:37]
my shop area for 14 grand. Yeah. Go straight
back to the on my building right there. Some
[1:16:44]
there in that corner. he was up there doing
something. Um, you know, so the golfers up
[1:16:54]
there and next time we have a video
[1:17:02]
if you're dying to watch it.
[1:17:09]
But that would be it seems like every week
I mean there's people at the little shelter
[1:17:13]
down there from my shop for bathroom
stuff. I mean down there we got people
[1:17:16]
coming in like this weekend I was working
this weekend up there go back to the shop
[1:17:23]
water keys and stuff you know inside
the building keep the head couple weeks
[1:17:27]
ago been in there was actually in that
building you know I was like you know
[1:17:38]
obviously on to have that happen numerous
times. Have they uh has ready fence gear
[1:17:48]
last week or two? We are putting a
new fence that fence is destroyed
[1:17:56]
like electricity to it.
[1:18:01]
No, we need to but yeah, the fence that's there
is destroyed so many. So probably dream we
[1:18:08]
were able to raise the money to do like a run
like that on the whole property be fantastic.
[1:18:22]
Okay. Uh guess the next thing was
new under consideration. Are we
[1:18:27]
through that? There's anybody I know you
said you didn't have much right now. Uh,
[1:18:32]
anybody else? Anything more to talk
about? Okay, go on to course updates then
[1:18:43]
done that. Um,
[1:18:50]
aside from what we've talked about, I don't think
we've kind of covered it as we went through the
[1:18:54]
meeting. So, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think they're
all going to take a little bit of a beating with
[1:18:58]
this 1023. Yeah. temps, but that's Yeah, they're
working long hours doing a lot of hand watering
[1:19:06]
right now to keep it happens fast when they start
to dry up. So, okay. Uh, marketing, consumer
[1:19:14]
service updates. Um, I don't have a ton for you
guys. Um, we have a few more events for the year
[1:19:20]
as far as the admin and doing event registration.
That's going to slow down. We'll have a few more
[1:19:25]
groups like group type lessons for both adults and
juniors for the fall. Um we'll start we already
[1:19:31]
started taking registration for that has been
looking good. Um food and bev side of things there
[1:19:36]
was a couple well a fridge that we had to get
replaced um over at Mac. Um we actually had some
[1:19:43]
damage on the one that the unit we got today and
instead of taking that damaged unit we're going
[1:19:46]
to have to return it. That's the only way that we
can get a new product in. So we're going to wait
[1:19:50]
another three or four days try to get that fridge
replaced. Besides that that's pretty much all I
[1:19:57]
got. Nothing super new. Trying to get what we do
now consistent and kind of focused on that. Get
[1:20:02]
through what we have this year and then go back
to game planning when we get closer to the fall
[1:20:06]
through the winter. So, we've got some some ideas
if you want to talk about for videos that we talk
[1:20:12]
about for [clears throat] Oh, yes. So, um we're
looking at some uh metagasses. And if you don't
[1:20:18]
know what metagasses are, they're literally just
glasses that have cameras installed, microphones.
[1:20:23]
So, I was thinking that would be it would be a
great thing to have like a day of life point of
[1:20:27]
view per se for all of the different um
operations that we have from the people
[1:20:31]
that are on the greenskeeper side, you know,
mowing grains, mowing fairways, that kind of
[1:20:35]
stuff. Even from maybe Jesse kind of what he's
doing around, popping in and out of courses. So,
[1:20:40]
myself popping in and out of courses. The people
at the pro shop were even, you know, staging
[1:20:44]
a couple where they ask some of those weirder
questions just to, you know, have a laugh and get
[1:20:49]
to know our staff. So that's kind of the There's
some good stuff happening over at the shop.
[1:21:01]
We'd be like these were a terrible idea. Oh,
another one. Uh getting our head pros out. We
[1:21:08]
haven't had new head pros or like tips from the
pros in a long time. Like we have some videos
[1:21:12]
up from like it was 2015 or something like that.
Like they're pretty old. It'd be kind of cool to
[1:21:16]
see not only like a down the line view of the
traditional camera, but actually what they're
[1:21:20]
looking at as far as how their triplets from above
and what that clip face looks like at a dress and
[1:21:24]
stuff kind of stuff. So, we think it'd be a cool
thing to have ours teach through the the lenses.
[1:21:30]
We may have already done this, but we have we
haven't done very much on rules. I'm thinking of
[1:21:34]
the rising to shambo thing we know. Have we ever
done things like that where we do, you know, rule
[1:21:40]
of the day, rule of the month, rule of whatever?
We can definitely do that. When I first started,
[1:21:45]
I kind of did like an overview of the game of
golf. That was kind of my first campaign idea.
[1:21:49]
But I would think that would be a great idea
to just maybe have a little of the week or
[1:21:52]
whatever. That video like talk about it. Yeah. Say
here's what happened and here's what they decided.
[1:21:59]
That'd be that'd be a great idea. Maybe twice a
month we have or maybe once we do a rules rule
[1:22:05]
of the week and then etiquette tip of the week
or something like that. I like that idea. Yeah,
[1:22:10]
we we had done some of those last year. or
something. So the ref week attacks. Yeah.
[1:22:17]
Way too many people. Yeah. Playing. I've got a
proposition for that, but we can discuss that.
[1:22:27]
Yeah. Well, you thought of it. No, it's just
I mean the the gold the senior T's at Tex are
[1:22:34]
200 yards longer than the white T's at Auburn.
They're the same distance as the blues at Sims.
[1:22:39]
And too many people just look, they don't look
at yardage. They just walk to the white TE's.
[1:22:43]
That's what I play. Sure. And I'd like to make
the blue teeth black, the the white T's blue,
[1:22:49]
and the gold TE's white. And I think everybody
just moves up. We did it at Reflection, and
[1:22:54]
everybody went they just because you can't make
that. People are hitting hybrids or three in one,
[1:23:01]
two. I mean, I played Saturday from the Tibs and
he had back almost every hole. That is a monster.
[1:23:09]
Well, I mean to there are people that need to
play there. I but we play with people that join
[1:23:14]
us and and and we try to I mean without saying,
"Dude, you got no business being there." I say,
[1:23:20]
you know, the T's here, the senior TE's are 200
yards longer than the whites at Auburn. What do
[1:23:25]
you play at Auburn? And they just don't catch the
hand. I don't know if it's ego or they just they
[1:23:30]
just look at the T. I played whites, right? And
if you just and then just move the golds up to
[1:23:36]
the reds and they can be a red and that's still
a good distance for tennis. It's just warm golf
[1:23:41]
basically way they do it here at Auburn, right?
They have black te and and you're probably not
[1:23:46]
talking about other than scorecards, right?
Any cost spray paint scorecards? Well, there's
[1:23:58]
the scorecards. Okay. All the online stuff. The
course rating has to be reerated. There's it's
[1:24:05]
not I've done it 20 times. It's not the end of
the world. But no, I know it's it's not little
[1:24:09]
things for three months, right? I didn't think
about the whole science. You're right. Yeah.
[1:24:15]
But that's a good idea. I I would agree with
you 100%. Yeah. It's just And it's only tax,
[1:24:20]
right? That that that the yardage isn't
proportionate with the color. Right. Right. Yeah.
[1:24:29]
I've only played it like that a couple times where
he had all the TE's all the way back and I had a
[1:24:33]
couple of stees and I walk up and it's 70 yards
back to the man 6,300 from the seniors which is
[1:24:39]
the blues at Sams and the it's almost the not that
much shorter than the blues at offer 7500 to like
[1:24:48]
that what is it like 77 that's way up there
felt like 8700 [laughter] long and then I'd
[1:24:56]
like to see some Sunday some uh better pens on the
weekend at Texas. Easy. What you mean? Just Yeah,
[1:25:05]
just bring them in a little bit. They put them on
those back slopes that go away from you and they
[1:25:10]
just they're hard enough. No, I'm telling you. And
for a Sunday, I mean, that's I don't care if it's
[1:25:15]
Tuesday, Monday, whatever, you know, but when
you're It just adds another putt per one or two
[1:25:21]
per hole, man. You're right. I don't get it. It's
a They're big greens. They're hard to put anyway.
[1:25:27]
All right. Yeah, somebody slow, right? And
if you could just I mean just I mean the
[1:25:31]
golf course is long enough it doesn't you don't
need to trick out the pin. So was bad. We played
[1:25:39]
we played Saturday. They had a tournament
Saturday morning at Ryan the assistant.
[1:25:43]
He popped over when we were playing. He was
like are the pins pretty rough. And I'm like
[1:25:46]
there's a couple that are a little sketchy. And
he said we had to get out here in front of that
[1:25:50]
tournament. He's like I did eight of these
in the pitch dark. So my apologies though.
[1:25:55]
Well, just like not accepted. Like 10 here should
never be on the top shelf on the weekends. You
[1:26:01]
just add another putt every possibly four putts
every Yeah. And then you're just going to It's
[1:26:08]
just a that adds up over there's not that many
holes in it like that. Little things like that.
[1:26:13]
Perfect example. People are going to aim for the
pin no matter what. They pull it left and then
[1:26:17]
they chip it down too far. Go down the slope.
Now they're You can back and forth that one
[1:26:20]
all day. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And there's just on the
on Sundays when you want to get that golf course
[1:26:25]
moving any of them. I don't know why the rotation
can't at some point they're easy. Why can't that
[1:26:30]
be Sunday? I mean I know there's a rotation.
I get it. Yeah. Or maybe there isn't. I don't
[1:26:38]
know. It's just what kind of I get middle back
is typically that you want if you can do it six
[1:26:44]
front, six middle, six back. Yeah. Just rotate.
Yeah, I get I get that. And they're not far off.
[1:26:50]
They're just he attacks the back of the greens run
away from you. Yeah. And you just run it by the
[1:26:56]
hole and pretty much you're you're it's six eight
feet past and you just you're adding another putt.
[1:27:01]
If they just bring it in where it's still on the
UPS slope where you don't have that it's they're
[1:27:07]
not good. You're not a good putter is what I'm I
was going to say I was I was telling myself Well,
[1:27:13]
I tell you what, you have to be a really good
putter. You get out there. Um, I told myself I
[1:27:19]
wasn't going to talk this, but I lied. [laughter]
I'm passionate. I like it. No, you're you're not
[1:27:27]
you're definitely not wrong. I mean, some points
are in the middle or they're like you said,
[1:27:32]
they're in easier. At least the tougher holes
anyway, you know, been a couple times out here,
[1:27:39]
but they've been [snorts] on 12 and on three.
Yeah. Eight. Yeah. real closer to the edge of the
[1:27:47]
slope. Three. Well, yeah. One day it was on the
front middle below. Hit a putt that went past the
[1:27:54]
hole, started trickling and ended up past where
I started from 6 ft away. It's a little much.
[1:28:04]
Okay, I think that's all we have unless
somebody has any other items that they
[1:28:09]
would like to chat about in. [clears throat] So,
third Monday every month unless four o'clock. So,
[1:28:21]
that is correct. And we uh I don't know,
Derek, did you send out new invites for the
[1:28:26]
rest of the year? Okay. Did you post the ones
from the previous meetings yet on YouTube? All
[1:28:34]
right. [clears throat] I haven't chatted in
a few days. Oh, there's going to be up. Yeah.
[1:28:43]
One other thing. Did we ever get the no fishing
signs been put up out around here? Darren has
[1:28:49]
them. He's they're down at the shop right
now. He's He was going to use like a Tost
[1:28:56]
and kind of like do something a little more
permanent. They're going to get knocked down,
[1:29:00]
whatever. So, he's going to concrete, put get a
post. He's got them down there. So, he's going
[1:29:03]
to put them in the ground where they're going to
be more permanent. I just I think I just see it
[1:29:09]
so much more just because of where I live all the
time. I'm just like now on the on the far banks
[1:29:18]
like on the common side or we're going all is a
liability thing, right? Now where's that line? I
[1:29:24]
can go to you know what I mean? It just opens the
door. So try caught a duck hook and chest before
[1:29:29]
happening. Apparently not one of those once if you
live. Yeah. If they read their covenants when they
[1:29:38]
buy these homes, it specifically states in there
that you cannot fish on golf course ponds, right?
[1:29:45]
You can get in the common areas that you can fish
at. We can figure out what happened up at what
[1:29:54]
was the name of the place they had all the fish
kill. It it was just it when you get a big rain
[1:30:00]
like that. I'm just Yeah, we can figure that out
and take care of this. Kill all the fish. I just
[1:30:06]
want to see what comes out of 16 in text. Man,
that thing's been that color for 50 years. Yeah,
[1:30:12]
it's going to happen. There's going to be somebody
coming out with extra eyes coming one day. There's
[1:30:18]
creatures in that thing, man. That happened
here last year, the news and everybody, but
[1:30:24]
we had someone from uh fishing wildlife, whatever
they came out. It's just they get a big rain and
[1:30:31]
it basically stirs that trash on the box and they
suddenly out here. We had it close to our house.
[1:30:39]
