1 Villages Golf Committee May 23, 2014 The meeting was called to order by Larry Peterson at 9:00 am. Roll Call: Present: Patti Hayes, Ron Gridley, Larry Dorsey, Dick Fisher, Mary Chaboya, Barbara Nilsen, Brian Bagley, Mike Reed Absent: None Also in attendance: Bill Bing, Director, Standing Committee members and residents. Minutes of April, 2014 were approved as submitted. Reports Chairman : Announced that the Sports Wall is complete; the VGC Committee Goals and Objectives are now on the VGC website.the DACs have started implementing a turf reduction plan for water savings but they are not ready to buy into a non-irrigation plan for the golf course as it could effect their views and potential property values. Golf Clubs Committee: Patti Hayes, gave the report (Attachment #1) but Dick talked about the dedication of the Sports Wall - lots of praise from all quarters. Patti noted that the new-resident welcome process and phone calls will continue and that the new sign-up sheet for those interested in golf was helpful. This Committee is interested in an explanation about the Golf Reserve and will look forward to a report on this request from the Analysis Committee. Golf Program Committee: Larry Dorsey's report (Attachment #2) began with information about the status of the rules about " handicap carts" and how to the.3 different documents deal with this rule. These documents need to be mutually consistant. At this point the goal is to educate and inform the golfers by reaching out through the various clubs as well as using all the other means of communication that are available. Peer pressure may be the most effective tool. The penal aspects of this policy are complicated and need refinement. Action Item: Larry, in conjunction with the Communications Committee, will prepare a "white paper" for the Clubs and will be useful in generating feedback. Responses are also needed from the Golf Clubs about what they can do to help and to exert pressure on their members o be in compliance with the existing rule. Action items: Mike will find out what other clubs do about handicap cart usage if anything as well as check on Rule 1.71 about citations. Karen Davidsen will prepare a summary report which will be on the agenda for the VGC meeting in June. 1

2 Don Armitstead passed out copies of 2 proposed changes to the Local Rules. Because of time contraints these proposals will be on the agenda for the June VGC meeting., Mike Reed went over his report that compares play date from this year with last year. (Attachement #2A) Weather has had a negative impact on the amount of play and revenue. The most loss was in 9- hole play because the most significant weather was on Tuesdays when the 9-hole clubs play. Guest play for 18-holes was not impacted. Sweeps redemption: The largest dollar amount of Sweep-redemption spending is in retail items from the Pro Shop. Some members are continuing to transfer their gift certificates to their sweeps account. During August and September Rick Casey will pursue separating the sweeps amount from the certificate figures. The Demo Days have been very successful and there are 3 more this year Action Item: Bill Bing will find out were the money goes when a golf account is zeroed out. Golf Course Committee: In her report (Attachment # 3)Barbara explained the status of 3 major projects: #1 & 2:for the irrigation and cart path all has been done from the VGC-committee position, ( Brian continues to wait for actions by PG&E regarding the new pump station for the irrigation system) #3: the plaza/cart-staging project has not been submitted to the BoD because firm cost figures are not in is the current budget year for these projects. A sub-committee is being formed to revise and update the 2001 Long-Range Plan. General discussion was about clarification goals and parameters of a Long-Range Plan and the definition of that plan. In the past the actual work on the course came under the direction of the "VGC Renovation Committee." Brian's reported (Attachment #3A) that he is consulting an arborist about the redwood trees - getting professional answers to the problem. Currently he is waiting to see if we get rain and if the less salty recycled water ( by 30%) will help. His report contains a page the breaks down his budget YTD. A turf- reduction plan is in place that could be implemented when and if necessary. More discussion and information at the next meeting. Action Item: He will write an article for the Villager about the recycled water usage at the Villages. Guest Speaker, Ginny Fanelli, Chair of the Marketing Committee, gave an explanation about the history, purpose, primary goals and budgetary limitations of that committee. She answered our questions about the golf video and pending distribution. Open discussion centered around ways to get working residents involved in golf events, how to reach potential golfing residents everywhere (publications, website, etc.) and what internal and external programs may bring increased income that also showcase the Villages total golf experience. Ginny invited us to let her know how that Committee can work with the VGC and encouraged us to send along ideas and suggestions. Communication/Education Committee: Due to the lateness of the hour, Mary Chaboya dispensed with her report. See (Attachment #4). Analysis Committee: Ron Gridley's Committee report (Attachment #5) noted that the 2

3 Weatherstation irrigation control project is being applied to holes #9 and #10 on the championship course again this month. Water rates for recycled and potable will be set in June. Green aeration twice in April did have a negitive impact on play. The April 2014 Play and Revenue Report (Attachment # 5A) shows that 18-hole play was down this April compared to last year by 4.5%. Play for the 18 hole on a Fiscal Year to date basis was down 9.2% compared to last year. Revenue was for golf play was up $5,800 from budget for April and fiscal year to date increased to $87,600. Expenses were over budget for the fiscal year by $7,700 which resulted in a budget surplus of $79,900.The remaining time of the meeting was spent discussing the Replacement Reserve and the pricing on Unaccompanied Play. Both items will be presented as action items on the Agenda. Attachment #5B is the report that was requested about the Unaccompanied Guest Program which concludes with recommendations as a result of their evaluation of all the data. After much discussion, the VGC voted to recommend that the BoD increase the green fee for unaccompanied guests on the weekdays to $50.00 and weekends to $55.00 for Note that accompanied-guest fees would remain unchanged! Action Item: Larry Peterson will write a letter to the Board that states the VGC recommendation. Attachment #5C is a spreadsheet titled, "Green Fee Comparison". This document shows the rates for several categories that are charged by private and public courses in our area. Ron also distributed a 3-page printout of " Club Reserves Consolidated Cash Flow". Action Item: The VGC members are to study this information in preparation for the June meeting. ACTION ITEMS: contained in the body of the Minutes. Meeting was adjourned at 11:51 am. The next regular meeting: Friday, June 27, 2014, at 9:00 am in Montgomery Center. Respectfully submitted, Mary Chaboya, Standing Chair Communications/Education Committee 5/24/2014 Villages Golf Clubs Committee Report May 2014 Attachment #1 On Thursday, May 8, 2014 the Villages Sports Wall at the Bistro was unveiled with a brief ceremony. Dick Fisher highlighted the individual sports club representatives, facilities, Frankie s and Duffina, and thanked the Club Board members (especially Richard Warren), Darren and Julia, plus Brad Barncord and Tom Muniz of facilities. There was a lot of praise heaped on the Sports Wall by 3

4 various sports club members/management and also from other VGCC management and club board persons. Contacting the new residents about their golfing needs is still not on a set schedule but we are getting the reports every month from Candy. The committee felt we may want to evaluate if this is getting any result but it was felt that even if not getting many recruits, the "personal touch" was a nice way to make new residents feel welcome so this process will be continued. The committee is anxious to get Ron and Mike's report on the comparable green fee pricing for the unaccompanied guests. There is a feeling that prime resident tee times are being filled because of "cheap" green fees and possibly a tiered pricing may be applicable. The committee would like a simple definition of the Golf Club Reserve Fund. How money is allocated to it, where does it come from etc? Also, a simple explanation of how the golf course gets it $$$ to maintain itself. We think all our golfing members should know and be able to answer these questions. Finally, both the Shonis and the Ironmen wanted to extend praises to Brian and his staff on the excellent shape the Par 3 is in. Respectfully submitted, Patti Hayes Co- Chair Golf Clubs Committee Attachment #2 To: VGC Chairman, Standing Committee Chairs, Support Staff, and Golf Program Committee Members From: Larry Dorsey-Golf Program Committee Chair Re: May Report Date: May 23, 2014 Handicap Carts: Karen Davidsen is the chair of our committee focusing on the rules for handicap carts near the green and bunkers. Currently there are three documents dealing with cart usage on the course: 1) VG &CC Rules (1.14-golf Facilities) detailing acceptable use of carts, 2) Guidelines prepared by the pro shop, and 3) instructions to Player Assistants. She has discussed the issue with Public Safety, Brian Bagley and Mike Reed. Public Safety issues handicap decals to those qualified in the same manner as controlled by the DMV. They do not issue handicap 4

5 flags- those are issued by the Pro Shop to those (mostly guests) requesting them. It was agreed by the Committee the 30 rule is what should be enforced at this time. Agreed Action on this topic: Mike will check with other nearby and/or comparable clubs to see how they handle handicap cart restrictions. Also, he will check on Rule 1.71, which deals with citations for violations relating to golf course play and cart usage. Karen will prepare a summary report, with recommendations for the Committee to consider at the next Golf Program Committee meeting. It is expected to go to the VGC s June meeting (with an accompanying Action plan). This will allow us time to gather information and opinions from our clubs, Brian and Mike. We plan on coordinating instruction given to golfers and Marshalls, have them posted, and printed in The Villager. Proposed Local Rules: Don Armitstead presented a new local rule dealing with stones in bunkers. The Program Committee conceptually approved it subject to final wording to be reviewed/approved by the Committee next month. This rule, and one and dealing with removing substances from a ball near water hazards will be presented to the VGC at its June meeting. Sweeps: The new sweeps redemption program has seen a small reduction in the account. Mike Reed will update us at the meeting. Villages Golf Committee Golf Operations Report May 23, 2014 Attachment #2A Play for the month of April was adversely affected by wild swings in the weather during the month. We experienced high day temperatures ranging from 58 degrees to 95 degrees with three rain affected days. Another factor was the significant green aerification program throughout the month. The Villages punched the greens twice during the month and in so doing extended the healing process to the entire month. Eighteen hole member play was the least effected category of play losing just 119 starts over last year while member 9 hole suffered the most significant loss of 448 starts. It is worthwhile to note that some of the more severe weather swings came on Tuesday s, when our 9 hole clubs play in the morning. Guest play also suffered as a result of the weather with a loss of just 65 starts as compared to last year. It is interesting to note that guest 18 hole play stayed the same (541 in 2014 vs 547 in 2013) while 9 hole guests experienced most of the loss for April (75 in 2014 vs 130 in 2013).

Attachment #3 Golf Course Committee Report to VGC Date: From: Barbara Nilsen, Chair The Ad Hoc committee studying the plaza area to improve safety and increase cart parking spaces reports work continues. Brain reviewed his report Updated the status of the irrigation system project. Work with PG& E continues on the electrical requirements for a pump station. The Committee reviewed our main projects. The Committee continues to endorse the Irrigation, cart path and cart staging area projects. The committee encourages that these 3 projects be commenced as soon as practicable. The committee requests that VGC encourage the Club Board to adopt a financing plan that will get these projects started soon. The committee reviewed some of the 2001 Long Range Plan and recommends an Ad Hoc committee be formed with newer members to revise and update the plan. Our next meeting will be June 23, 2014, Maintenance Conference Room May 20, 2014 Attachment #3 A Management Report May 2014 Brian Bagley - Golf Course Superintendent We aerified and topdressed all greens twice in April. We aerified both times with 5/8 hollow tines and used 200 tons of sand. Since then we have verticut the greens four times to help firm and smooth them. We fertilized the tees on May 19th. This specific fertilizer will last six months and will keep the bermudagrass and seashore paspalum growing continuously for the remainder of the season. 8

9 I am working with Valley Crest on the permit application to expand the use of recycled water. This permit will allow us to put recycled water in lakes that are not on the golf course. I was invited to attend the Montgomery DAC meeting to discuss the plan to eliminate irrigation to roughly 20% of the golf course. I explained that there are currently no plans to implement this plan. We are doing an experiment on several fairways. We will be spraying these fairways with a mixture of a surfactant, a growth regulator and iron. The surfactant aids in getting water down to the rootzone. The growth regulator slows down the growth rate of the grass and the iron greens up the grass without making it grow faster. We will be making monthly applications through October. We will be looking at any improvement in moisture distribution and color, as well as labor savings from not needing to mow these fairways as often. I continue working with PG&E on the new electrical service needed for the pump station for the new irrigation system. We have sent PG&E a $5,000 deposit. This deposit is required for the cost of an engineering review, design work, and cost development requirements. This deposit will be applied to the total contract cost upon completion of the design and cost estimate. We continue irrigating the Par-3 Course and driving range automatically, using the weather station s ET readings. It has been working very well. My irrigation men continue using moisture meters to tell us where to make adjustments to the computer. We recently begun irrigating 9 and 10 fairways automatically, using ET as well. The salt level in the recycled water has dropped 30%. The redwood trees are now putting out new growth. This is the time of year when redwood trees normally do this. It is not a response to the lower salt levels in the water. We will have a better idea of how the redwoods react to the improved water later this summer and fall. Budget o Revenue-Revenue was $2,489 over budget MTD and $60,200 over budget YTD. This surplus came from greater than expected green fees, a result of the continuing unseasonably warm dry weather. o Total Employee Expense-Total Employee Expense was $4,800 under budget MTD. The main cause of this was Group Medical which was $3,615 under budget. YTD Employee expense was $7,698 over budget. This was caused by Salaries and Wages which was $12, 254 over budget. The overage was partially offset by Group Medical which was $6,364 under budget. o Total Supplies and Maintenance-Total Supplies/Maintenance was $1,527 under budget MTD and $8,774 under budget YTD. Vehicle Gas and Maintenance was $253 over budget MTD and $2,826 over budget YTD. Repair and Maintenance was under budget by $507 MTD and $919 YTD. Operating Supplies was $80 under budget MTD and $8,734 YTD. Because Operating Supplies encompasses many different types of expenses, it is difficult to anticipate those expenses very closely. o Total Landscape-Total Landscape was $13,135 over budget MTD and $183 over budget YTD. This is because of the 200 tons of sand that was purchased to topdress the greens. Tree Trimming was $1,283 over budget MTD and $2,350 under YTD. Chemicals Supplies was $1,050 over budget MTD and $9,721 over budget YTD. It continues to be necessary to use some expensive fungicides to prevent Snow mold, anthracnose and Waitea Patch from infecting the greens. Planting, Sand 9

10 o o o o o & Misc. Supplies was over budget by $9,336 over budget because of the greens topdressing, but is $10,723 under budget YTD. Total Utilities- Utilities costs were all close to budget MTD.YTD is all about water, which was $24,922 over budget. We don t normally receive much rain at this time of year so the drought doesn t affect us like it did earlier this spring. Total Services-Total Services was $3,830 under budget MTD because Professional Fees was $3,575 under budget. Total Services was $3,597 under budget YTD. Total Other-Total Other was pretty much on budget. Fees, Dues & Licenses is the only line that I have control of, and it was $167 under budget MTD and $145 under budget YTD. Total Direct Expenses-Total Direct Expenses was $3,797 over budget MTD and $22,225 over budget YTD. The main reason for this overage is higher than normal water usage. Bottom Line-I will continue to try and get Salaries & Wages down by the end of the fiscal year. Water use will depend on temperatures rather than on rainfall as we move into summer. Coming Up With aerification behind us we will concentrate on getting the course in tournament condition. 10

12 Attachment #5 May 2014 Analysis Committee Report The April expectations report showed that 18 holes play was down by 72 rounds at 1,952. The 9 holes play was down 120 rounds at 1,005 for the month. Over all the 18 holes play is down 636 rounds fiscal year to date and the 9 holes play is up 1,648 rounds. The aeration of the greens twice during the month had to have an impact on play. In regard to the Weatherstation irrigation control project, a test was started on the 9 th and 10 th holes of the championship golf course last month and continues in to this month. This the odd month of the water billing cycle so we have little to report. Our conversation with Finance indicates the increase in the rate is probably going to be less than anticipated. Portable water under 10% and recycle water under 8%. Rates will be set in June. The remaining time of the meeting was spent discussing the Replacement Reserve and the pricing on Unaccompanied Play. Both items will be presented as action items on the Agenda. RDG Apr.

13 Summary: Play in Apr. was down in each category compared to the same period last year, but revenue was up 5.8K over budget and expenses were over budget by 3.4K. On a fiscal year to date this increased the budget surplus from 77.4K to 79.9K. The major factor that affected play was the aeration of the greens for 2 of the 4 weeks in the month. Financial Highlights: Eighteen holes play was down 4.5% this month, and for the first time this year was down on a year to date basis by 9.2%. Play on the long course for 9 hole was down 29.1% from last year, but is plus 5.5% for the FYTD. The same holds true for the Par 3 play, down11.3%, but plus 2.2% for FYTD. The annual maintenance of the greens was the contributing factor for the decrease in play. On a revenue basis, April revenues were above the budget by $5.8K. We had a increase in Green Fee Revenue of $2.6K and Pro Shop revenue was up $5.2K, but Driving Range revenue was down $1.3K as was Cart rentals$.5k. April expenses were over budget by $3.4K. The water number for the month was the budget number since this a month we do not get a bill. Expense accounts that negatively impacted expenses were COGS- Proshop of $2.2K, Landscape $13.1K and Utilities $1.1 K. All other expenses were under budget. On a 9 months FYTD basis, golfing operations had a budget surplus of $87.6K. Major contributors were Green Fees of $60.5, Proshop Sales of $20.5K and Other income of $2.1K. Expenses were higher than budget by $7.7K. Major negative expense contributors were Total COGS ($25.7K) and Utilities ($26.8K). All other expense items were positive to budget. Attachment #5B Analysis Committee May 2014 At the April meeting of the VGC(Village Golf Committee) the Analysis Committee was asked to report on the fees charged to an Unaccompanied Guest program presently in place at The Village Golf and Country Club. Background: In fiscal 2006, based upon declining member play the concept of unaccompanied guest program was introduced. This program was limited to players nominated by a resident and the resident would be considered responsible for them. In 2006 the weekday guest fee for both accompanied and unaccompanied guests was $40.00 and $45.00 for weekends. This fee has been adjusted as shown in the chart below: 13

14 Year weekday weekend 2006 $40 $ In 2009 the fee was adjusted upward resulting in a significant decrease in play. This fee was adjusted downward in 2011 and has gradually been raised to the present level. In the calendar year of 2013 regular guest 18 holes rounds M-Thurs. were 1,166 and Unaccompanied Guests 158. Weekend play Fri. Sat. and Sunday was 2,282 for regular guest and 1,204 for Unaccompanied Guests. Total 18 hole play for calendar year 2013 was 35,647 rounds. At present the number of Unaccompanied Guests registered with the Pro Shop stands at 700. Attached to this memo is the survey done by the Pro Shop of comparable fees. If you review the data you will see that we are really comparing apples and oranges. Private Country Clubs do not allow unaccompanied golfers. Public golf courses rates are much higher than our Unaccompanied Guests rates which explains why this program is growing. Using the April play report, the 10 th month of the fiscal year 14, golf fee income from all sources (18 hole, 9 hole and Par3) was $1,085,834. Unaccompanied guests revenue Monday thru Thursday was $9,384 and for Friday, Saturday and Sunday was $58,956. The total revenue from Accompanied Guests was $68,340 or 6.3% of total green fee revenue. Last year for the same period total revenue was $45,768. Total revenue from Accompanied guests for this period this year was $144,199, 13.2% of total green fee income. Last year Accompanied Guest total revenue was $130,294. The totals do not include Guest days or any tournaments income. In addition, to the above information, during the calendar 2013 year 1861 Non-Revenue rounds of golf were played on our course. Of this total we allowed 178 guests to play a second round in the same day for free. At present we are a daily fee golf course which in today s environment is highly unusual.
