2018 Annual Report

President’s Message Our membership has been steady at about 230 regular members

for the past several years. The average handicap for our membership is about 21, compared to the national average of about 15. About 19% of our members have a handicap less than 15. Gene Harp was the low handicapper (6.1) and Terry Book was the most improved golfer (32.6 down to an 18.6) this past season. Our reputation as a welcoming and respectful club attracts new members which helps to keep our total membership at a healthy level.

Some highlights of the 2018 golf season were: • A MEMBERS DIRECTORY was again printed and distributed at

the beginning of the season in April. Feedback from members is

that this is an important document produced by the Board to help members network and make plans for playing golf.

• The COMMUNICATIONS PROCESSES via email and website were led by Paul Newman and Mike Lucich. The website improvements, and quick turnaround for game day scores, were the result of efforts by Mike Lucich with support of others interested in communications with the membership. The professional services for website and email services from Elaine Swyt continue to be a valued service to the Men’s Club.

• The NINE-HOLE DIVISION committee members continue to improve the support for 9 hole events; giving all our members a choice for playing 9 or 18. There are 20% of our club members who prefer 9 holes only, and another 23% who prefer 9 or 18. 56% of our members prefer 18 holes only.

• A CLUB BROCHURE was created, which is handed out at the Portland Golf Show and to new residents of Charbonneau to promote golf in the community, as well as explaining the benefits of joining the Men’s Club.

• The INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT was considered a success under the leadership of Mike Brown and John Meyers who managed teams of volunteers, and especially the work of CWGA army of volunteers in their bright red shirts.

• Golf EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS were developed and hosted by the Men’s Club for the golfing community (men and women) that remain in Charbonneau over the winter months. The feedback from participants was that these are worthwhile and should continue again each winter season.

• The TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE had several challenges coming into the 2018 season. Major tournament activities, namely the Double Elimination Match Play and the

Charbonneau Cup (Eclectic) were re-designed to make them good year long tournaments. Increased communication with monthly notices on the bulletin boards and on the webpage significantly improved the year-long game and tournament schedule. These challenges, and others, were identified by Laurin Larsen at the beginning of the year and successfully addressed through the great volunteers on this committee.

• The GOLF COURSE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION for our events, and more improvements to the courses are planned by Chris and Danny and their staffs for next year. The courses also continue to benefit from the success of the “Geese Guys” program and the tireless efforts of the Tuesday Volunteers, led by Spencer Groshong, who assisted Danny in undertaking course improvements.

• Men’s Club is officially a 501 c(7) CORPORATION registered in the State of Oregon, thanks to the leadership of our club Secretary, Jim Bartlett. Jim will be retiring from the Board of Directors this year, and his advice and presence will be missed. He was often the voice of reason to keep me focused and effective as President. During the winter months, the Board will continue to seek out

and listen to ideas from the members and plan for improvements to golf and social events for 2019. Things we are considering include:

• CHALLENGE CLUBS OF OTHER GOLF COURSES around the valley to match play events. If any member is interested in helping to organize these events, contact John McLain.

• EXPAND THE USE OF GOLF GENIOUS SOFTWARE to generate quick turnaround of game day scores. Mike Lucich will be hosting educational sessions for members to learn more about Golf Genius. Contact Mike if you would like to learn more about helping to enter scores on game days.

• Explore the concept of a SEASON-LONG POINTS system, similar to the USGA FedEx Cup, as the basis of the Charbonneau Cup in 2019.

• COLLECT AND PUBLISH PHOTOS (HEAD SHOTS) so members can view faces to go with names in the directory.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we hope you all can “play more golf” 2019.

Financial Report The fiscal year for the club was November 1, 2017, through October 31, 2018. The Men’s Club is in good financial shape, with more than adequate cash reserves of about $15,600 after a net loss for the year of $6,800. The Board approved goal for year ending cash reserve is $10,000, which means we have more than adequate reserves to end the year. The net loss was planned for this past year to utilize some of the more than adequate cash reserves to cover the costs on increases in catering, as well as fund special events such as the Hole In One Prize Pool (HIOPP) and the Charbonneau Cup Prize Pool. The budget for next year again plans for a loss to utilize the remainder of the surplus for one more year. Notes for the Budget adopted for fiscal year 2018-2019: • Because we have more than adequate reserves, the Board sees no

need to increase the 2019 annual dues (i.e. $60 or $70). • Major event fees will not increase for 2019 (i.e. $25 or $30). • The Board will continue to host the two free breakfast events that

mark the beginning and ending of the golf season • The Board will continue to fund the HIOPP and the

Charbonneau Cup for one more season The budget forecast is that the current surplus of reserves will be fully utilized by the end of the 2018-2019 year.

Future budgets in 2020 will need to be break even or better. This means, after looking at all the ways to reduce our costs, it is likely that: • Event Fees in future years will be adjusted to fully recover the

costs of catering and prize pools. • Invitational Tournament costs and fees will be adjusted to

produce a small net contribution to the general budget • HIOPP and Charbonneau Cup may once again require entry fees
