Golf director reports steady play, equipment needs and modest budget projections
Summary
Paul reported the Fisherman's picnic and summer activity were strong, irrigation and greens are in good shape despite drought and smoke, but equipment repairs and a larger capital equipment line (moved from $15,000 to $19,000) are driving budget pressures.
Paul presented the golf report, saying the Fisherman's picnic was busy and that course conditions were generally good despite drought and recent smoke. "The greens are are really good. The fairways are good," he said, and described an ongoing leak on a large fairway mower for which parts have been ordered and that the crew expects to repair in-house.
Board and staff discussed marketing and revenue. Staff noted the golf operation performed well last year and projected roughly $170,000 in revenue for the coming season under conservative assumptions. Staff also told the board it had increased the golf capital-equipment line from about $15,000 to $19,000 to reflect larger purchases such as a grinder trailer and new carts, and cautioned that equipment capital needs can skew single-year deficit figures.
