                Treasurer - $3125 carried over last year.  $4153 carried over to this year.  Tom needs to get access to the bank                 account.               Need to pay for plaques and USGA.  (Mark requested USGA bill will be held for further discussion)
                Handicaps – Mark estimated cost of new computer to be $400.00.  OK to purchase.  Lengthy  discussion on new       handicap              system.  I will remark on new business  section of minutes.  Mark also requested to link our computer            to the Fairway’s                Wifi.
                Tournaments – Dave H. has kept the same schedule as last  year with a few modifications. 
Old Business:  Officers and committees filled.  Dates for prime events established.  Minutes Accepted
New Business:  Much discussion on whether the Club should join the new World Handicap System (WHS), or not.  Mark     recommended we not join the first year and see what issues may develop or what other alternatives may be                 available.             Cost may be an issue which is unknown at this point.  Motion made by Gary Sullivan to join.  Motion passed.  Keith    raised a second motion that if the cost is prohibitive, we not join.  ($1,000)  Motion passed.  Dave      W. will research                cost and alternatives with the USGA, New York State Golf Asso., and Buffalo district.  Mark had             some concerns over                        transitioning to the WHS. (transferring of data, timing, impact on tournaments).
                Tom had several recommendations to be considered at a future meeting.  Among those will be to move the Senior   Tournament to the Club Championship, Playing Tournaments that involve the Fawn to play from the blue tees, and to   change the Out of Bounds on some holes.
Next Meeting – Scheduled for Saturday, February 22nd , 12:00 (Noon) at the Fairways Restaurant
                Dave Walos - Secretary
