Old Business:

Kathy Bannister would like it on the record that having Diamondhead's Christmas Party scheduled the same day as GCWGA Christmas Party hurt the attendance at the GCWGA play day/party at Bay Breeze.  It was stated that this should not happen again.

New Business:

It was asked if we could change the January scheduling meeting to a different day so we are not on any club's play day.  President Marian Wideman asked for any suggestions for days and Friday was the only day not a club play day.  A motion was made by Kathy Bannister and seconded by Nancy Hanby for the January meeting day to be on Friday's from now on.  Carried.


A notice was passed out to each delegate to post at their club to let their membership know The Bridges is applying to be a member club.  All delegates should e-mail their clubs vote to Deb-b Kopp by February 3, 2012.

Windance will let us play for $25.00 this year.  Thank you Ann Collum and Lisa Picard.

Breakfast on play days will be up to each club.

A motion made by Kathy Bannister and seconded by Julie Landry that the "No show" money be paid to the host club rather than to GCWGA .  The host club's delegate will tell each club and the Treasurer of  GCWGA the names of the no-shows.  The delegates of each club will be responsible for collecting the money and sending it to the GCWGA Treasurer.  The GCWGA Treasurer will then forward the money to the host club's delegate.  ANY MEMBER THAT HAS NOT PAID THEIR NO SHOW FEE BY THE NEXT PLAY DAY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY UNTIL SHE HAS PAID FOR  THE     NO-SHOW. Motion Carried.

It will be up to each club how players are arranged into foursomes on play days. It can be by flights or players from different flights can be mixed together for play only.

The 2012 Yearbook will be on-line again this year and Julie Hudson will do the input of information.  Please make sure everything for you and your club is right and let Julie know if you have any changes.

All delegates please read "Delegates Rules and Duties" as they are your job.


Respectfully submitted,


Darlene Santelli, Secretary
