1) CHAIRMAN'3 REppRT
Chairman Cooper called the boards attention to the "Golf Plus" in
the Idaho Statesman of April 15 The article was about how Shadow
Valley Golf course combats slow play by aggressive use of their
marshalls. A discussion was held on the slow play policy used on the
Caldwell courses. It was decided that our policy of not being too harsh
on slow players is the proper procedure for a municipal course.
Cooper told the board that arrangements had been made with Mr.
Capps of the Press Tribune to have an ad in their golf brochure.
Mr. Cooper said that Jim McGarvin had a meeting with the mayor
regarding the building of a new cart storage shed at Purple Sage. The
Mayor was receptive to this plan and said he would help get it started.
