He recommended that from December 15th to March 15th that no guests be
allowed to play the course without a member. He felt the loss of revenue
would be very small because more residents would play who haven't been able
to get on the course during the winter. Mr. Miller thought this should be tried
to see if it will work. He also added that our golf course is run more for the
women than for the men. Mayor Claussen stated that the Council is expecting
to receive a report from the General Chairman and that this will be discussed
along with the report.
Mr. Lund stated. that the Council made a motion at the last meeting
to the effect that we wanted to employ an expert to look at the golf course and
that he had voted for it but in voting for the motion no reflection was made on
our present greenskeeper and he added that he thought, considering the many
problems, that the course is a well-kept golf course.
A report was made by the Village Attorney on the Shores Villas vs.
Miami Shores Village suit which was dismissed by Judge Knuck. The Village
