-I <br />sir <br />BOOK T PAGE G-1/9 <br />Commissioner Bird reviewed the following memo containing his <br />recommendation that we not institute a membership system at this <br />time. <br />TO: board of Commissioners County DATE: AugustFILE: <br />SUBJECT: Request for Membership <br />at Sandridge Golf Club <br />Richard N. Bird <br />FROM: Commissioner REFERENCES: <br />I have been receiving many inquiries regarding membership at <br />Sandridge Golf Club, and Hal Djorup has written a letter <br />requesting that he and some other golfers be added to the County <br />Commission agenda to discuss this subject. <br />Although I understand the feelings of the people requesting <br />memberships, I feel the system that is the most fair to all the <br />golfers in Indian River County is by charging fees on a daily <br />basis. This allows those who "play the most to pay the most." <br />We have tried to maintain our fees at a level that is as <br />affordable as possible, and still allow us to. generate the <br />revenue that is.needed.to maintain the golf course in its present <br />excellent condition. ' <br />I have discussed this matter with Bob Komarinetz, and we feel <br />that an alternative to membership might be the formation of a <br />men's golf association that would allow for handicaps, <br />tournaments and various other club functions. An organization <br />such as this presently exists for the ladies, and I understand <br />that it is working very well. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It would be my recommendation that we explore the possibility of <br />forming a men's golf association, but that we not institute a <br />membership system at this time. <br />14 <br />
