Topic #2: Blog

* The person responsible for the weekend needs to post a short recap with the scores.

* T will post the spreadsheet with all the historical scores each week

Topic #3: Events

* Bandon Dunes: Kev, J, T and Dan (any additional people need to confirm by next Wednesday)

* Bear Crawl: There will be Bear (Pub) Crawl in North Beach on Saturday March 7th. Old Bearettes are invited to this event along with other friends of the Team. More details will be released next week. Plan on a 7:00 start at T's apartment.

* 1st Annual OB Golf Team Championship Chair: Jason Stevens

While he was not in attendance, the group nominated Jason to chair the first annual Championship. These is a monumental responsibility so please be willing to help him when he requests your aid.

Topic #4: New Members

* All potential members need to attend a meeting in which they will be approved. By attending the meeting, the new member will be showing their commitment to the original group.

* Guests will be allowed to play with the Team whenever there is an open space. Guests can be of any race or creed as the Team does not discriminate. An example of our openness would be best proven in our willingness to play with parents of Team members.

Topic $5: Making the Club Better

As all attending members agreed, this was by far our most productive meeting and nothing is better proof of that fact than some of the great new ideas that were spawned.

1) Ranking Ladder

All OBs would fall on this ladder which would allow us to understand the quality of our play. Rules regarding the ladder will be discussed at the next meeting.

2) OB Charity

It seems pretty obvious that in this time of economic decline, the Old Bears Golf Team needs to be there for the more less fortunate. A charity event will be discussed and planned at the next meeting. Charity Golf and BBQ??

3) Team Dues

To encourage attendance at meetings and social gatherings, we have decided that dues are required for the group. We are thinking $150 a year and all of that money goes to meetings and social events. As an example, the OB Fund could pay for the first three rounds of drinks at the Bear Crawl. You tell me who is not coming to that event!

Topic #6: Next Meeting

Given the fact that I love drinking, having fun and hanging out with my friends, I have decided that the next meeting will be Tuesday, March 3rd. I have not determined a location yet but I would guess it will be at Steelhead once again.

Remember: It doesn't matter how you score, it matters who you score with!
