NEW BUSINESS: Don1 brought up the current CMC policy for Couples holiday

Charbonneau golf associations wish to host a holiday event. Joe F will pen an
adjustment to make the policy more inclusive. Gene H edited the final.
MOTION carried, adjustment to Policy made (see below).

changed or modified?
Social events which are couples tournaments, including the traditional
holiday tournaments (Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day)
will be either two-person teams composed of one man and one woman,
one of whom much be a member of the CMC, the CWGA or the Niners, or
a four-person team composed of two men and two women, of which only
two of the four players may be guests, and the other two must be a
member of either the CMC, the CWGA or the Niners. Guests must have
an established USGA handicap to participate in prize awards based upon
the competition, or be assigned a zero handicap.
