“On January 4, 1990 our RULES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE met at 2:00 P.M. in the dining room of Tatum Ridge Golf Links.
Dick Findlay asked if it was a good idea to establish a set of by-laws at this time. George Crittenden and Don Stirn both thought by-laws were unnecessary right now and both suggested we wait and decide this issue by letting the general membership vote on it at our next big meeting in February. Agreement on this point was unanimous.
Roy Rudolph suggested that since we had two people with handicaps over 33, we should amend the “GUIDELINES FOR OPERATING THE DESK” to read: “When playing Quota Points, the maximum handicap allowed any member is 30.” This will be done immediately.” Note. See minutes of October 20, 1993

have been observed urinating in or near the shrubbery adjacent to the tees,

the ground crew works in and around these shrubs and other plantings on the golf course, the committee suggests that these areas be off limits for that purpose and that we exercise careful and thoughtful discretion in this regard.”
