[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.
