Decision process on hosting and pricing Can't really speak for other operators.

Pro-Ams were very popular and interest has waned.

View as a membership drive?

Ask HGP and DOGs to schedule ahead.

TJ Duncan • Showcasing facility and hosting fellow Professionals very important • Winchester Championship caliber • Chapters need to assist.

• Doing it or not • Game within a game Brooks Bultemeier • People but why we do it, not what we do, express the why.

• Showcase the facility, impactful opportunity.

• Most facilities have staff present, may take away from employee privileges, maintenance schedule, member play.

Ray Otis • All facilities, handful willing to host.

• Show sensitivity to time of year, • What are you looking for?

• Paint the picture.

• View as a membership drive assist?

• Net Division Justin Saragueta • How to lessen the burden • Keep membership engaged and involved.

• Networking, building relationships.

• State of the Chapter o Sierra Nevada Chapter is doing great, and we are one of the strongest Chapters in our Section in play financial situation and tournament opportunities. I recently sat in on several forums at the PGA Show with the National Golf Course Owners Association, The National Golf Foundation, and Pellucid Corp., all predict an upward trajectory again in 2023.

• Outline Goals, Objectives, Strategies for 2023 o This meeting is designed to be more interactive. While we give our reports, others are encouraged to ask questions and add their point of view. We want everyone to take something from this meeting. We want to create more communication and be as transparent as possible across the Chapter.

• Chapter Election Results & Current Board o In the most recent election, we had no new applicants interest in running for the board (shame on you). With that, TJ Duncan and John Hughes whom both were schedule to move off the board, decided to re-run and were both re-elected onto the chapter board for the 23’/24’ seasons. o Furthermore, TJ Duncan once re-elected, ran for the secretary position on the board, and currently assumes the position.

o With that, we had one additional chapter board member position available, and as acting president I elected Ray Otis to our board for the 23’/24’ seasons. Ray will be a great representative of you, our chapter members. o Current Sierra Nevada Chapter Board of Directors: ▪ President: John Hermans, Montreux Golf & Country Club ▪ Vice-President: Andrew Workman, Northern Nevada Golf Association ▪ Secretary: TJ Duncan, Duncan Golf Management ▪ Honorary President: Travis Alley, Tahoe Mountain Club ▪ At-Large: Chris Detsch, Genoa Lakes Golf Club ▪ At-Large: Ray Otis, Wolf Run Golf Club ▪ At-Large: Fred Elliott, Hidden Valley Country Club ▪ At-Large: John Hughes, Life Member ▪ At-Large: Dan Garner, Morgan Golf Management ▪ At-Large/Tournament Director: Anthony Roth, Martis Camp Club Vice President Report – John Hermans • Current Bank Balance o We have a healthy bank balance currently of $. o The recap from last year is inaccurate as it shows us losing $7,173 on tournaments, when that should be closer to $3,453. The loss is directly related to the Brooks Park Cup which is the only event that we don’t charge for but still have the expenses.

• 2023 Budget Projections o Looking to continue working toward zero cost events, but would like to use some of our extra funds to bring in some education opportunities for the Chapter. 2023 budget looks good.

Secretary Report- Dan Garner on behalf of Andrew Workman • Approval of 2022 Annual Meeting minutes o Meeting was held virtually, and we have not been able to track down the minutes from the meeting.

• Membership Report o Membership report was passed out in everyone’s packet.

▪ 106 Total PGA Professionals • 74 PGA Member Professionals • 4 PGA Associate Professionals • 18 PGA Life Members • 2 Retired PGA Members • 7 Reserve Professionals • 1 Class F Professional ▪ Further Membership Demographics were on the back of the report for more details on our Membership.

Tournament Report- Anthony Roth • Congratulate 2022 Champions o 76 out of 106 Professionals played in an event. Motion passed for changing player of the year award.

Message from the President

June 11, 2023

Hello fellow Members, Associates, and Invited Guests, The game of golf continues to thrive, though experiencing a minimum decline, certainly here in California, Northwestern Nevada and nationally. Our local programs such as PGA HOPE, PGA Junior League and Drive Chip and Putt continue to expand throughout our Section, thanks to the incredible hard work and diligence of all of you, our NCPGA Members, Associates, and Partners.

NATIONAL The Deferred Compensation program has now become a reality.

Launching on April 1, the program establishes individual retirement accounts for Members in Good Standing, and is annually funded by the PGA of America. Contributions are based upon credits earned due to participation in established programs. Not only does the Deferred Compensation Plan serve our existing Membership, it also serves as a recruiting tool for the next generations. Be sure to register in this valuable program PGA Frisco is now officially open! The recent Kitchen-Aid Senior PGA Championship was competed on the Fields East Course as the inaugural event. Many members of our national staff are in place, Associates are working their way to PGA Membership, the Northern Texas Section has it’s new home up and running, and through the design of activities and public spaces highlighted by two championship golf courses, we once again firmly establish ourselves as the experts in the game and business of golf.

All are encouraged to visit PGA Frisco.

It would be a mistake to not address the elephant in the room as it relates to the recent decision by the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf who is in step with the PIF to unify. Undoubtedly we all have questions and feelings on how this may or may not impact golf as a whole as well as our personal businesses. It is likely the most discussed subject at all of your clubs since the most recent announcement. For the time being, it is important for us to note that we as an Association have and always will be the gatekeepers of golf to those who wish to enjoy the game. We should take pride in our role of fostering the game of golf and sharing it with those who have a passion or are developing a love for the game. The recent decisions are not a reflection of the PGA Professional and our National leadership is working hard to ensure the entire golf landscape is aware of our roles in golf vs. those of the player leagues. In many ways the recent news, much like the success of Michael Block, serve to highlight what all of you do to serve the game and share it on a daily basis.

LOCAL The Section staff and the Board of Directors have been extremely busy this year. While the work is ongoing and we continue to look for ways to serve our members, we have been working diligently on the following items.

1. We are in the process of hiring a new Assistant Executive Director, in order to complete the needed size and skill set of our Section staff to best serves our Members and grow the game.

With the current state of the game, our ever-expanding PGA HOPE programming and service goals are now in reach.

2. Secretary Devin Meheen accepted a position in Florida earlier in the year. This led the Board of Directors to hold an off-cycle election. There was great interest among board members with 5 running for the vacated officer seat. The candidate pool was outstanding but ultimately, TJ Duncan received the necessary votes to replace Devin as our new Secretary. TJ has been a very strong board member and will no doubt be a great leader for the Section in the coming years.

3. In an effort to continue providing effective and efficient leadership, we are in the process of reducing the size of our overall board. Upon completion of a National survey, it was brought to light that our board was by far the largest of the 41 Sections. We also felt that we were bifurcating our local chapter leadership by requiring them to participate in all Section meetings in addition to their chapter duties. By allowing them to focus on their chapter and restructuring our board duties we are certain that membership is still well represented and communication will be improved.

I cannot tell you what a privilege it has been and continues to be working alongside so many great professionals that are willing to donate their time for the betterment and service of their fellow PGA professionals.

Thank you all for what you do to grow the game and deliver on your promise to make the game we represent so wonderful!

Yours in service, Eric Lippert, PGA President, Northern California Section PGA

Financial Statements for the period ending April 30, 2023

Attached you will find detailed financial statements for the period ending April 30, 2023 April 30, 2023, Statement of Activities (page 1) Statement of Financial Position (page 2) Results for the year-end period April 30, 2023, reflect a Section operating NOL (Net Operating Loss) of ` $17,975 vs. the budgeted NOL of $14,226, for a variance of $3,749. The variance in General and Administrative Revenue is based upon the accrual timing of ADP funds, the PGA of America Fiscal Year vs. our Section Calendar Year. Actuals are 6 months of the prior year vs. 12 month of the new rate. The Tournament variance is a result of reduced costs as to reduced event participation, spread over several events, in several categories. A post close adjustment is necessary to correct the wage distribution of the wages to the Communication and Membership categories. This adjustment does not affect the net result for the period.

Our cash position as of April 30, 2023, is $379,355, inclusive of $ 266,275. In cash reserves. Many NCPGA Partner contracts are entered into in Q1 of any year, and have varied remittance schedules. Therefore, in effect we do advance the funds for Q1 and early Q2 events. The most significant additional item in Accounts Payable are costs generated from the EZGO Championship, $41,000. The remainder is facility fees, general invoices and purses payable.

The month of June begins substantial cash flow based upon the receipt of the first Association Program Development Funds (ADP), of $95,000. and Section Dues income $85,000 (received as of this date).

Board of Directors Meeting June 11, 2023 PLAYER ENGAGEMENT CONSULTANT REPORT JUNKO HARKINS, PGA Just a reminder of the image of our Player Engagement Suite of ‘opportunities’ that our golf professionals can engage in. They do not have to offer ALL these programs; they can pick and choose what best fits their goals and needs as well as the consumers.

I do like the below image that makes it less daunting and showcases how all of these can come to life through 3 categories.

Career Consultant, Caitlyn Doyle and myself have webinars scheduled for the rest of the year that will go over various topics. Our most recent one went over the Deferred Compensation and Compensation Survey. We had a great turnout for it and we hope to continue to touch on those items in the future webinars as well.

Coaches will receive one set of the 3 pennant flag awards, and these will also be in the store for purchase Coaches can purchase items over the credit that has been earned The remaining family cup merch will be in the store at a discount for anyone that wants to use it

•

To simplify the format/operation, the facility guide and recommendations will be geared toward 2-4 player teams, but professionals and facilities can do what they would like • The tech will not be adjusted and families can register up to 6 people National Championship •

We are working on this and hope to have more details here soon.

We have 5 facilities currently registered in the NCPGA but no programs are published yet. My goal would be to have at least 3-4 programs run this year with these new updates and changes.

May 2023 PGA District Updates PGA Professional and Amateur Event Consideration The PGA Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Membership Committee, modified the Regulations allowing for combination of two 18-hole scores to count as the 36-hole PAT score, by allowing Section events that include non-PGA Professionals, and clarified the policy for PGA Golf Management University events.

PGA Medical and Disaster Relief Fund The PGA Board of Directors encourages all PGA Members to contribute to the PGA Medical and Disaster Relief Fund, which has disbursed more than $1,700,000 to PGA Members in need over just the past ten years.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION Registration is now live. As we all know, there are tax rules that prevent the Association from directly giving money to members. But the basic principle is that we can reasonably compensate a member for performing services that advance our exempt purpose; specifically for growing the game of golf. Therefore we created a plan whereby members that participate in programs that meet specified performance objectives can earn a contribution towards a deferred compensation fund.

PGA Members can potentially earn up to $1,500 a year to a deferred compensation fund by participating in combination of 16 activities The aim is that over the years these investments will grow and provide a supplemental income for the member upon reaching the age of 65 In addition to all our programs and other benefits this is now a very real and accessible vehicle to accumulate wealth towards a more comfortable retirement. We further hope that this can serve as a truly significant lure and recruiting tool to attract new talent to our great and growing industry.

Sub committees that include your fellow PGA Professionals, board members and ED’s worked on program details and administration.

This won’t be without challenges but for the first time ever we got a response of yes we can do this from the IRS. We will roll out, review and refine the program over the first few years.

REGIONAL MODEL LEADERSHIP CHANGES As the Regional Model evolves some adjustments to our current leadership team have been made. With the evolution of the Regional Director role, Monte Koch raised his hand and indicated that he would prefer to stay in his role as the Career Consultant serving the Pacific Northwest Section and we know he will continue to be a superstar.

Our members are his passion and we know he now he will continue to provide amazing service to the PNWPGA Professionals. This move has led us to make a few additional modifications to the current Regional Leadership: -Mike Ray will now take over leadership of the West Region given his strong relationships with the Executive Directors in his new territory.

• -Don Sweeting will now take over the Atlantic Region leadership where he has previously managed some of the current staff and also served as a Career Consultant • -The final move is moving Ted Logan into the Southeast Region- Regional Director. Ted applied for the Southeast Regional role last year, but agreed to put his application on the sideline to assist in finishing the PGA Teaching Ted's responsibilities in the PGA.Coach space will be assumed by Anthony Vitale.
