A
A
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Now,
yes,
we
are
jamming
busy
every
day,
and
so
now
now
you
remember
that
you
know
we
discussed
with
this
board
last
year
that
we
are
going
to
extend
to
the
members
one
hour
jump
over
the
public
one
week
ahead
for
booking
as
a
as
you
know,
as
a
benefit
for
the
membership
and
but
but
we're
seeing
you
know.
Yes,
we
are,
I
mean
every
single
day,
everyone
we
are
busy
from
first
time
until
five
o'clock
every
day,
so
so
yeah.
C
D
B
D
B
B
B
So
I
I
would
think
that
you
know
if
we,
I
think
those
we
need
to
look
at
the
number
of
season
pass
holders
and
the
number
of
season
pass
rounds,
and
you
know
honestly,
I'm
not
expecting
that
this
covid
bounce
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
It
is
going
to
at
some
point
I
think
it's
the
number
of
season
pass
members
is
going
to
start
dropping
off
again.
I
hope
I'm
wrong.
C
Right
and
the
industry
is
talking
talking
about
the
covet
bounce
so-called
is
going
to
be
three
to
four
years.
That's
what
they're,
projecting
and
also
you
have
to
look
at
the
the
greens
fee
revenue
where
we're
you
know
we're
up:
50
000
anyway,
55
000
over
the
last
year,
so
so
obvious.
So
so
by
that
the
the
increase
in
in
in
season
pass
rounds
have
not
has
not
impacted
negatively
the
greens
fee
revenue
and
that's
really
the
telltale.
C
D
C
C
C
D
E
C
Well,
we
don't
have
too
many
too
many
guys
playing
the
four
tees,
but
yeah
I
mean
the
four
tees
eric
had
had
created
in-house
certain.
You
know
certainties.
What
have
you
and,
as
a
you
know,
as
a
concession
too,
to
the
ladies
club
and
to
the
lady
golfer,
but
I
mean
it's
not
it's
not
the
wear
on
those
tees
is
not
due
to
excessive
men
use
because
we
have
very
few
men
who
are
using
them.
A
It's
excessive
use,
I
mean,
and
in
all
fairness
to
the
second
tee
box,
it
started
the
year
with
no
grass,
so
it
just
hasn't
had
any
time
to
recover
or
to
do
anything
and-
and
you
know
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
that
spot
doesn't
kind
of
eliminate.
I
mean,
let's
see,
two
weeks
ago,
the
t
markers
were
placed
within
oh
less
than
a
foot
of
the
back
edge
of
the
tee
box,
which
basically
put
your
right
foot.
A
E
F
F
F
E
D
E
D
A
That's
it
I
mean
other
than
that
the
greens
are
in
phenomenal
shape.
Oh
yes
in
some
way
fast
yeah,
so
I
think
you
know,
given
the
size
of
your
staff
and
the
number
of
rounds,
you're
still
doing
a
very
good
job
of
keeping
up
with
things
I
mean,
I
wish
I
had
a
magic
wand
to
find
seasonal
help
for
you.
B
A
B
D
B
B
B
Yeah
yeah
yeah
and
I
did
want
to
share
one
other
thing.
The
national
golf
foundation
puts
out.
I
get
an
email
from
joe
bennetts,
who,
I
think
is
the
president
he's
the
president
and
chief
operating
officer
of
the
national
golf
foundation
and
he
shared
something
last
week
about
lifetime
sports
lifetime
sports
and
typically.
B
So
I
I
think
you
know
what
shena
cosset
has
done
with
the
associate
and
the
associate
plus,
hopefully
we're
going
to
be
keeping
those
golfers
at
shena
kosit
for
a
very
long
time,
and
we
saw
the
numbers
go
up
again
this
year.
If
you
look
at
the
monthly
revenue
report,
you
can
see
that
the
numbers
of
players
that
have
seasons
passes
in
that
in
those
two
categories
associated
with
associate
posts.
Both
of
them
are
up.
G
C
D
D
C
C
A
C
No,
these
kids
don't
get
up
early.
Are
you
kidding
me
and
then,
and
actually
really
you
know
they
come?
They
come
out
around
11,
ish,
11,
30
and
most
of
them
ride
they
ride.
Kids.
If,
if
I
was,
if,
if
I
told
my
dad
back
in
the
day
that
yeah
dad
I
want
to
ride,
you
say,
are
you
kidding
put
that
bag
on
your
shoulder
and
get
your
butt
on
the
tee?
There
was
none
of
that,
but
these
young
kids
they're
up
they're
riding
eric.
Am
I
wrong.
C
C
C
A
A
D
F
C
C
I
mean
I
I
worked
when
I
was
in
high
school.
I
worked
at
fenwick
golf
course
in
in
seabrick
and-
and
I
was
up
at
four
o'clock
and
I
rode
my
bike
across
town,
and
I
got
there
early
because
I
I
mowed
greens
and
I
cut
pins
whatever,
so
it
was
just
me
and
the
the
assistant
superintendent
and
I
loved
it
because
at
1
30
in
the
afternoon
I
was
on
the
beach,
but
these
young
kids.
Nowadays
they
just.
B
B
B
With
that
yeah,
because
we
we've
seen
the
same
thing
in
the
parks
division
where
you
know
they'll
start
working
and
and
you
know
they
hear-
that
a
friend
is
getting
22
bucks
under
the
hour
under
the
table
an
hour.
And
you
know
the
guy's
looking
for
more
help
and
you
know
they're
there
for
a
day
or
two
and
then
and
then
they
don't.
They
stop
coming
to.
B
D
G
I
think
I
missed
my
moment
during
the
during
the
course
report,
but
on
a
budget
deliberations,
the
rtm
was
was
greatly
interested
in
our
our
fund
balance
and
I
think
they
were
thinking.
We
should
be
financing
the
board
of
education,
maybe-
and
I'm
I'm
not
sure
I
want
to
bring
this
up,
but
every
time
I
give
a
rosy
report,
I'm
sure
they're
thinking,
they've
got
money
and
part
of.
D
G
Couple
of
questions
I
had
we
did
have
a
giant
fund
balance.
I
don't
know
how
giant
it
was,
but
it
got
wiped
out.
We
accumulated
over
a
period
of
time
and
it
was
wiped
out
for
bad
with
a
stretch
of
bad
weather
and
that's
one
reason:
you're
gonna
try
and
the
other
thing
is
that
I
don't
think
people
understand
sort
of
the
expenses
you're
facing.
I
know
mark
told
me
about
a
a
turf,
rotary,
mower
sharpener,
that
was
with
78
thousand
dollars.
G
That
has
to
be
replaced,
and
then
I
mentioned
that
the
golf
carts
are
taking
a
beating
because
of
the
covet
everybody's
having
to
use
more
carts
than
normal
and
the
moderators
somehow
thought
golf
carts
were
covered
under
the
fleet
budget
for
pickup
trucks
and
snow
plows,
and
so
I
I
I'm
not
sure
how
much
I
want
to
get
into
this.
But
I
sort
of
want
to
tell
them
look:
there's
the
money.
G
D
B
B
A
G
Yeah,
the
last
thing
we
want
to
be
doing
is
going
to
the
council
on
the
rtm
saying
gee.
We
had
a
lot
of
bad
weather.
Now
we
could
use
a
little
supplemental
funding
from
the
fund
from
the
town's
fund
balance
to
make
up
for
it
and
having
debates
about
whether
they
think
it's
going
to
rain
next
month
or
not
so
anyway,
but
150,
that's
a
good
number
10
years
to
build
up.
They
don't
need
to
know
the
current
fund
balance
that
won't
be
necessary
at
this
point,
but
no
golf
carts
are
not
covered
I'll.
D
D
E
E
C
I
think
most
people,
post
covid,
are
are
used
to
bringing
their
own
water.
I've
had
no
negative
comment
by
anyone.
Really
really
anyone
coming
up
and
saying.
Is
there
drinking
water
provided?
No
people
want
to
have
their
own
water.
They
want
to
provide
their
own
water
they're,
not
looking
to
go
ahead
and
and
have
shared
water
where
they,
where
they
sh,
you
know,
share
the
spigot
and
all
of
that
they
don't
want
any
of
that.
C
A
A
C
C
A
C
D
G
D
G
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
to
our
town
historian,
jim
streeter
and
he's
he
was
involved
with
getting
the
was
his
avery
point
lighthouse
on
the
national
register,
and
so
he's
been
through
this
and
he's
keen
to
help.
If
take
up
information
that
could
make
things
better
could
make
things
worse.
Sometimes
you
know
I
have
more
info,
you
know
tons
of
information,
but
he's
he's
interested
in
and
would
help
on
it,
and
I
guess
we
already
mentioned
counselor
baumgartner
made
a
referral
to
the
council
about
about
this.
B
D
B
D
B
D
D
D
C
C
C
Well,
I
don't
know
surprisingly,
but
but
the
supply
chain
is
still
not
there,
and
so
it's
hard
for
me
to
get
product,
whereas
if
I
were
to
order
something
whatever
and
expect
it
to
come
within
two
weeks.
Well,
it's
still
four
weeks
yeah.
So
anyway,
I
I
think
I
think
that
currently
our
situation,
what
we
have,
what
we're
doing,
I
think
our
people
like
it,
it's
a
compromise
yeah.
C
I
think
that
maybe
within
a
you
know
it
after
maybe
a
month,
maybe
we'll
talk
about
it
again
and
but
I
think
people
like
it's,
it's
no
inconvenience
for
people
to
come
to
the
window
and
make
payment
we're
right
there.
It's
it's
not
an
issue
that
way,
so
it's
totally
workable
as
long
as
we
think
that
it
should
be
workable.
G
E
C
C
I
think
that
we'll
probably
have
discussions
moving
forward
about
opening
up
fully,
but
I
think
they're.
I
think
we
have
some
customers
who
still
like
to
be
out
in
the
air
and
just
come
up
to
the
window
and
pay,
and
if
and
and
we
have
a
sign
saying
if
they
want
to
come
in
to
shop,
then
they
can
come
into
shop.
I
think
it's
a
good.
D
A
F
B
I
think
the
work
for
the
hva
hvac
system
in
the
restaurant
is
done.
They
are
just
waiting
for
the
last
piece
to
come
in,
that's
the
exterior
motor
and,
and
originally
it
was
supposed
to
be
in
by
mid-june,
and
then
it
got
bumped
to
mid-july
and
I
have
not
heard
an
update,
but
it
it
wouldn't
surprise
me
if
and
as
todd
mentioned,
the
supply
chain
is
broken
in
places
and
things
are
taking
considerably
longer.
B
The
design
and
construction
to
rehab
the
exterior
the
maintenance
building
and
construct
an
additional
public
bathroom
that
was
approved
and
there's
an
architectural
firm
to
begin
work
this
summer,
when
they
come
up
with
a
month
of
the
a
number
for
the
money
that
will
appear
in
the
fye
23
budget
projects
that
continue
to
be
deferred
or
repainting.
The
clubhouse,
replacing
the
red,
rubber
deck
tiles
and
repainting
the
cart
building.
D
A
D
G
I
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
former
city
mayor
marion
galbraith
at
chief
spelman's
retirement
party,
and
I
said
oh
yeah
in
politics.
Maybe
you
could
get
on
a
board
and
I
said
we're
looking
for.
We
have
a
vacancy
for
a
non-resident
member
on
the
on
the
golf
advisory
board
and
she
said
she
knew
a
woman
in
new
london
as
a
golfer
who
might
be
interested.
B
C
The
only
thing
that
I
think
is
for
for
those
who
want
to
join
the
meeting,
but
there's
always
a
mech.
There
is
a
mechanism
for
for
people
who
want
to
join
the
meeting,
as
as
a
citizen
petition
to
contact
the
town
manager's
office
and
and
get
on
a
list
or
what
have
you
and
be
listed
and
be
invited
to
the
meeting.
G
B
B
Yeah
and-
and
I
don't
know
that
the
wishes
of
the
gab
are
going
to
be
heard
when
the
decisions
made,
what
format
meetings
moving
forward
take
place
in
and
if
the
council
and
the
town
manager
say
we're
back
to
in
person,
then
I
think
we're
back
to
in
person
as
much
as
I
do
appreciate.
The
fact
that
I
can
leave
and
come
home
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
not
have
to
stick
around
for
another
three
hours
to
wait
for
a
meeting.
A
Yeah,
I
agree
I
have,
I
can
go
either
way.
The
only
thing
that
I
might
suggest
is
that
we
identify
maybe
one
meeting
a
year
to
where
we,
if
we
were
to,
if
we
are
allowed
to
continue
in
some
remote
fashion,
that
at
least
once
or
twice
a
year
that
we
get
together
in
person
out
of
all
the
meetings.
So
not
every
single
one,
but
you
know
maybe
it's
the
budget
discussion
or
maybe
it's
you
know
the
rates
for
the
next
year
discussion,
maybe
there's
a
a
key
one.
A
That
would
make
sense
for
us
to
be
in
person,
especially
it's
going
to
be
a
little
different
as
we
bring
on
new
people
to
the
board.
You
know
just
to
give
that
we've
all
had
a
chance
to
meet
in
person.
You
introduce
somebody.
They
need
to
have
that
opportunity,
in
my
opinion,
need
to
have
that
opportunity
to
meet
people
in
order
to
make
this
continue
to
make
this
effective
because
it
has
been
fairly
effective.
