Officers Reports

President: 

⦁Main goal for 2022 will be to have the club's finances in order especially it's 501(c)3 status. Another goal will be to get The Shack back into the club's hands or at least get the ball rolling to try to get back control. Erosion control projects and supporting the efforts of the Maintenance crew will be an ongoing project for the club per city requirements as well as maintaining and growing our relationship with the city which Sean and Matt have done a good job. 

⦁Long term goal: work with the Board to try to get bigger projects like getting water, an actual clubhouse, restrooms and a master plan for a park. 

⦁Since the last club meeting Rob, CJ and Jeff (DeLa club Pres and Board) had a meet and greet with the city, Travis Beck Superintendent of Parks, to let the city know where the club's point of view, our perspective and where we are within the club and how we see ourselves within the course and in the parks. One of the first things Travis brought up was he wanted more parking, bringing in water as well as Wi-Fi. The city brought up what they wanted for the park before anybody was able to bring anything up including bathrooms with running water. The city would also like to eventually make DeLa a pay-for-play. During this meeting with the city, Jeff R mentioned that the ball golf course up at DeLaveaga has a budget that is supplemented by half by the city where the DeLa dg course is getting more visitors, 30-50% daily, from outside the region which brings in money to the city. By having these raw numbers and data we can show the city that the dg course should be getting a bigger slice of the equitable pie. Ian S. added that the club should encourage people to use UDisk in order to track how many rounds and people visit the course to be able to have that data handy when meeting with the city. During the meeting the city also brought up their concerns regarding liability insurance and the use of personal vehicles however the club can push back and insist that the city should be providing said insurance since the volunteers are the ones doing the work. When an MOU gets worked out the club will have to make it so the city pays for the liability insurance for the equipment and vehicles used on the course for maintenance purposes. As far as equipment the Club will continue to work with Miles who is actually responsible for all the upper park not just the golf course but the dg course as well. Miles has said that the club knows what they are doing when it comes to the projects they have done, example the handrails around the tee box for #2. Bottom line, the city wants the club to have some sort of insurance for liability reasons and communicate with them what it is that we are doing. They understand that we are doing good things for the property up top. Rob H also let the City know that the DeLa website has been staying up to date with links to the city's Parks and Recs dept. as well as a link to the parking passes which they were really impressed by. Travis also wants the Club to consider adding to the website, referencing that the course is a city of Santa Cruz parkland and managed in cooperation with the Parks and Rec dept. According to the city, while it may feel like the upkeep and responsibility is solely of the disc golfers, as stated in the support DeLa page, they don't think it's 100% accurate. Parking infrastructure, restrooms, trash services, tree work and materials for erosion control. While the city may not be 100% correct on this they are correct in having some services available to the course. Jeff R suggested that members try to make themselves available to attend Parks and Rec meetings to let them know of the amount of players that visit the course as well as the amount of hours worked by our volunteers or creating some sort of report to read to the Parks and Rec dept. The city will present an MOU to the club which will be reviewed most likely with legal help to make sure the understanding is agreeable.

⦁Budget for 2022 year is in the works since at the time of the meeting not all financial information was available. One goal will be to try to have separate accounts for the Club and Master's Cup and with our 501(c)3 status the club will have to donate some money to a charity or create a scholarship for tax benefits and purposes. As of now we have created separate accounts for the Club (checking) and Master's Cup (savings) under the same membership. They are physically separate but under the same umbrella. The Club has always donated money to other clubs, to help start other courses and to support other tournaments, however the lack of paying taxes for the last 9 years has complicated the 501(c)3 process. 

⦁Covid and ongoing course club safety standards. The club has been keeping with the city's Covid requirements which have been heightened and have avoided any mega events, which is more than 5,000 people. Any indoor activity masks are required.

VP:

⦁Membership drive was great. Rob H added that the membership drive was f*ing incredible. There were about 90 participants in the bag tag challenge while selling close to 100 memberships day of, and raising over $5k. Although this was a great day of membership drive we could do a lot more. Looking forward to next year the membership drive will need to change in order to increase membership. Silicon Valley and San Francisco blew us out of the water because they were able to accommodate more people by having tee times through Disc Golf Scene. By doing a shotgun start and having a number of holes closed not as many people were able to play. Some people got turned down because there simply wasn't enough time. It was already 9:30a and people were still trying to buy in and the tournament needed to start. Perhaps make the membership drive a weekend event with tee times to accommodate more future members. Tom A. added that we could go to the city with logged volunteer hours to ask for a permit to shut the course to make the membership drive event happen. Tom A. also asked if we could do tee times for the next bag tag challenge to which Ian S. suggested that we could not due to how people play early and may not want to wait around all day to figure out what tag they are getting once all rounds have concluded.

⦁At this point the club raised $7,310 in memberships and merchandise. 150 memberships: 140 men, 7 women and 3 juniors. That's $5,100 from memberships alone. $2,200 was from merchandise. 150 tags sold in one week and 150 more tags to go. Peter K. added that the quality of the tags this year were great and a lot of people liked them. All the merchandise has been paid off, even Matt's hats that some people didn't care for.

⦁Discs. The club is about halfway through the DGA discs that were purchased recently with some Innova discs still leftover. This is a rough estimate since there hasn't been a count of the discs that we have available.

⦁People are still reaching out for memberships and next monthly Ian S. will be out there selling memberships to those people that want them. Rob H added that a link exist on the DeLa website for those people that are inquiring about memberships. We should make an effort to direct people to the site where they can obtain up to date information regarding the club, memberships, etc. Once our 501 3c status is secured we will be able to have paypal links for direct purchase of memberships or merchandise.

⦁One of the membership items that were to be included were DeLa stickers instead of patches that was discussed in a club meeting back in November. The order was delayed and just placed recently with Shawn Adams for $169.34 for 300 stickers that are the same size as the patches from last year but will not include the membership year just the club name.

Treasurer Report:

⦁Physically Greg C. has nothing on hand since he has been having a hard time meeting up with the previous treasurer. For sure there is $7,100 and another $350 that Tom A. was supposed to hand to him from lost and found sales to Play It Again Sports. Tom A. said that he waits to gather a good lot to take to PIAS before handing a check over to the treasurer however there have not been as many discs in the L&F box which leads him to believe that there must be some scavenger finding discs and selling them directly to PIAS rather than turning them into the L&F.

⦁From the information available from Stan who was present, we have $4,500 in the club account and $1,600 in the Master's Cup account to date. Not including the funds raised from the membership drive.

⦁Peter K suggested that the club trademark the DeLa logo to control who uses our logo especially if our logo is being sold at The Shack. The club needs to tread lightly until we get some legal representation but it is something that we should consider especially if we need to raise funds for course maintenance and projects.

Secretary/Communications Report:

⦁The current Secretary, Bobby W, needs to do a better job communicating with the previous Secretary, Ian S, as far as getting messages to the club members via Facebook or other social media with regards to meetings and minutes and anything else.

⦁DeLa needs to make itself better known on Instagram since there are many disc golf pros who frequent the platform. Rob H made a great suggestion in having the members participate in growing the DeLa IG account by maybe doing some sort of campaign where they can tag DeLa with their individual pics of the course.

Maintenance Update: 

⦁Holes #2, 13-17, 25-26A closed for erosion control. All baskets will be back in the Friday before the Enduro Bowl and some will remain in mainly the I5 stretch of holes

Events:

⦁There was a request from Innova to us to move the Discatchers from the Muni to our course for the dates of May the 6th to the 17th for 11 days so that the pros can practice and play during the pro event.

⦁Matt B. is talking with Innova so that we can get more baskets for the event because as soon as the event is over on Saturday, all baskets have to be pulled from the top course and sent over to the Muni before the Sunday event starts which is a nightmare for the volunteers who are making the event happen. Rob H said that we have to push Innova to provide the tournament with the extra baskets because the pros will not have any baskets to practice on in the Muni course, only the top course there by making the club look bad because we are the ones hosting the event. We will need those baskets, in a timely fashion.

Old Business

Bank Account- already discussed

Online Store

Tied in to the bank account which is tied to the 501 3c

Online Membership - already discussed

Keys to what and where

Rob H will get with Matt B to exchange keys to everything.

Ian spoke with RJ about getting the iron ranger back in action with an extra space above to add a sign for donations with QR code and any other info made available to players

Marketing/Club memberships

Pop up and maybe obtain “feathers” to announce when the club is out for membership sales as well as promote during tournaments.

Travis from the city will also be posting a link in the city’s website to our DeLa website. The city has a link to disc golf but not to our club page instead it goes to the ball golf course site. Now we are legit and officially on the city’s website.

Location for club meetings

Dec the Grove room cost us $100, in Jan the rate was $150. Louden Nelson center charges by hour. The library is an option, free but it's a limited time since library meetings would have to end by 6p. We need to look into the club to see if we can get a solid lead to have a place to hold our meetings during the time of the year when the weather doesn’t allow for meetings to be held at the Rangeside Bar.

Online meetings/Voting

Google Meets was provided for this month's meeting but no attendees. Google Forms has many helpful tools to maybe allow for online voting. Online voting needs to be included in our bylaws to allow for voting and move forward on items voted on maybe in our “Meetings and Voting” FB page.

New Business

Striping Parking Lot

Safety issue that the city needs to address the club cannot do this job

Bike Racks

Apparently racks are given away for free by the city and are needed to accommodate players who bike to the course. The club will need to look into this.

Hire/Pro bono lawyers for legal club business

Unable to bring on Doug O and Jenna to help with our mess and the club needs to look for someone who can help straighten out the club’s finances.

T-shirt proposal using the DeLa design from BroPrints, local company

With tag design it is $18 a shirt where the regular logo would be $15, the solid red design.

Motion on the floor to purchase tee shirts, Ian made the motion CJ seconded. Seven in favor, no one opposed, two abstentions. $1,500 for t-shirts was approved.

Traditional red and black stamp without the “DeLa” in it was approved

Shirts will be resold to members for $25 each

Petty Cash

Increase the Petty Cash fund that allows officers to use money that is less than $300 without a need for a vote. The petty cash fund was agreed upon fifteen years ago and may need updating to adjust for inflation. Rob wishes to table the topic for a future date.

For the hats themselves, they all come with the cord, and I know that was a bone of contention for some, but this company supports disc golf so we are going to order through them. The turn around time is 5-6 weeks. If people do not like the cord that is on the hat, it can be removed.

Delaveaga  DGC  February Monthly  Meeting  (2/9/2021)  Location:  Zoom  Meeting  hosted  by  Matt  Beatty

Attendees:  Keenan  Dalton,  Ron  Lynch,  Greg  Churchill, Joe  Nama,  Jeff  Rockwell,  Matt  Beatty,  Rob  Hapner,  Peter  Kline,  Tom  Audisio,  Marty  Hapner, Ian Sun, Bobby Wasabi, Jack Trageser, Brian Renfro, Steve Jackowski, Karen Noel.

Agenda:  February meeting of 2021

February Monthly and Membership Drive

This Monthly was the smoothest tournament in a very long time! Very much in part because of Tom Audisio manning the entrance gate and checking for tee times, which resulted in almost no wait times on any of holes for tournament participants. Thank you to Peter Kline for spending the day selling memberships, thank you to Ian Sun, Ron Lynch, Matt Beatty and Keenan Dalton for assisting Peter throughout the day.

We as a club were able to sell 108 memberships, which exceeded expectation by far. The premium discs (Firebird/Shryke) were a hit and consisted of the majority of membership sale packages.

Matt placed an order for another 100 bag tags #’s 151-250, we had 15 remaining tags from original order and a lot of new faces and members.

Will be working on the points spreadsheet for bag tags very soon, and that file will live on the dela bag tag page.

New Position on Hole 11 for Tournament Feedback.

We had a lot of great feedback for hole 11 on the Facebook page, there was some concern about erosion on hillside with suggestions to encourage people to use stairs and not hillside.

There were some people that were still in favor of original hole positions, and liked those more.

That pin position was agreed on by Tom, Joe, Matt and Miles for tournament play only.

Club workdays.

Workday was setup for this Saturday 2/13/21, main focus will be on loose debris and fallen branches throughout the course.

The following weekend 2/19-2/20 we hope to work on 19’s tee pad, weather permitting. Friday is planned for tear down of old pad, Saturday is planned for frame up and pour. Tom/Joe will be  reaching out to Jef Wind about signs he has made, may be in need of additional posts/hardware and he would like to mount them at his house.

Bill Allen willing to donate $50 towards tee pad construction costs, Brian Renfro has offered to donate the cement need for the tee pad.

Donations and Incoming Funds.

Bobby Wasabi seeking a way to donate to work days through online donations, Jeff Rockwell suggesting starting another go fund me for the club, curious about timing? Said he will design a template describing costs over the year.

Rob Hapner is asking if the city has funds available for the course, Tom states at this time there is no budget for our property and at this time there has not been a discussion about adding our park to the budget.

Marty bringing up conversation again about somehow getting another paypal or some sort of online payment account, our 501(C)(3) is still not active which has kept our paypal locked.

Parking Lot.

Jack Trageser bringing up the fact about the funds coming in from the parking lot, and suggesting we remind the city of our agreement. Our course is probably the only park that is generating money for the city as opposed to costing the city.

Marty suggests the parking lot needs to be striped, it is unsafe and needs to get done soon. The city should be contacted about this issue, and should consider paving lower lot as well.

In the meantime we are looking at putting in treated tree rounds with chains like ball golf spillover parking to make it look more official, as opposed to just a dirt area with a free for all. Would we like to address this in an upcoming project, as well as moving decaying wood out of there. We will need to rent a skid steer for this, also will need to get some wood chips, base rock and decomposed granite. We will need a few days for this task to be accomplished, contact Myles Harding regarding any available equipment.

Poll Regarding Graffiti Paint.

The paint was priced at $750 for 15 gallons which is a substantial discount off of face value, club officers have approved and we had enough votes from members to proceed with the purchase.

Hats and Gators.

Keenan Dalton posted a poll on our discussion page about gators and/or masks and had a good response,  the price breakdown was $536 for 50 gators and a similar cost for masks. Karen wants to know about composition of masks/gators and wants to make sure club is not promoting bad material, Keenan stated he will look deeper into it.

Matt Beatty has approached Findlay hats regarding an order, and does think it’s a good price for a quality laser engraved patch with our logo. The hats have cords attached for style and to help with securing it from wind and feels they are very comfortable and a quality hat, Matt will look into if they have any hats without cords. The price breakdown is $15 each for 100+ hats, and we would look to sell for $25-30, we would also be supporting a company that is supporting disc golf.

Disc Golf Shack.

Matt and Keenan met with the Loustalots about the shack and what they are doing regarding being involved with the club, they are having trouble with finding people to work in the shack. Matt gave them what he feels is a solid referral for a hire, this person has been playing the course for a long time and knows the area and course very well.

Signs And Etiquette.

Several people have brought up ideas about having some course etiquette signs throughout the course, something simple and easy to read without having to stop and spend too much time as those will get glazed over. Rob has a old template made up and thinks it could be easily edited to fit our needs, and we could reach out to Shawn Adams about having them made up.

Jack and several others discussing having marshals/ambassadors to help keep the course in order and pace of play moving along, perhaps with matching shirts and etiquette info to hand out to players.

Masters Cup Update.

We have come a long way with sponsorships this year compared to years past, we currently have more sponsors than holes available. Registration opens up in the coming week for both Am and Pro/NT events. Caddies and fans are not going to be allowed at this point, but there is still a lot of time before Pro/NT event and things could change.

We have a lot of work to be done at the course ahead of the upcoming events, we will be planning to do 2 workdays a month.

Since 2016, the final round has taken place on the golf course. This year all 3 rounds will take part at Delaveaga DGC, and the final round will take place at the golf course next year. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Masters Cup, and there will be a new retro stamp for players packs this year.

Another change for the Masters Cup is we will be using the Innova Discatcher Pro 28’s from the ball golf course for the events, starting on the Monday before the AM event through the end of masters Pro/NT event to help promote Innova’s brand. We will be getting some additional baskets from Innova, and will need to drill some holes and have new locks made for those baskets.

Jack brought up the suggestion of making hole 12 into an island hole on the plateau to help speed up the pace of play, as a lot of discs tend to be hard to find when going over the top towards to long pin.
