The Nevada State Women's Golf Association's Board of Directors met on June 9, 2003, at Siena Golf Club in Las Vegas. President Karen Hoppe called the meeting to order after the first round of the state Partners Tournament.

Present were Sherry Corsello, D'Anne Daniels, Claudia Chesney, Rene Raynes, Irene Frank, Sherry Jackson, Debbie Schwoyer, Laurie Johnson, Berta Kirchner, Brenda Knott, and Mindy Zamzow.

D'Anne presented the Treasurer's report which was circulated to all in attendance. There was a discussion

of the expenses for the state book; we will look into the matter.

D'Anne suggested we have the option of requiring only one signature on our checks instead of two. It was agreed. Karen and D'Anne will write letters to that effect to our bank. Also, D'Anne would like new checks ordered; the older large checks are difficult to transport.

Regarding tournaments, Irene announced that to date we have only eight entries for our state amateur. She has placed entry forms on the registration table.

Irene was congratulated for her excellent work on the Partner's Tournament.

There was some discussion about the rates charged by various golf courses and while we might feel some frustratioin about the rising costs there seems to be little that can be done about the matter.

Claudia reported that future northern sites might be Red Hawk or Genoa.

Laurie said that the Primm for Silver Cup and Boulder Creek for the Quad are possible.

With some discussion it was agreed that for next year, at least, we will stay with Silver Cup in October in Las Vegas even though October will be a more expensive time.

It was brought up that for Partners we do need a date at which registration shall begin. There would be a statement such as "No entry before....." The Board agreed to that proposal and we will discuss it further in January. It was thought that possibly a period of sixty days before the event would be acceptable.

Irene introduced the matter of a refund for the player with a death in the family. It was agreed that a full refund be given with an adjustment to the prize fund.

Karen brought up the suggestion by Virginia Bonar (NNWGA President) that we create a division in our state tournament that would be open to the female golf professionals of Nevada. The general response to the idea was favorable and we will consider it further and deal with the idea at the January meeting.

Sherry Jackson talked with Helen Cannon who was very pleased to learn that we intended to honor her, as we have Skippy Pasutti, by attaching her name to a flight in the state championship. It is hoped Helen will come out to Piaute during the championship in September so that a presentation can be made.

The Nevada USGA Team (3 gal) will consist of Laurie Johnson, Christy Atencio, and the winner of the up coming Women's Southern Nevada Championship.

Debbie reported on NSWGA golf scholarships. The

recipients each receive $500. They are Jenna Cassell, Las Vegas, and Kassia Nelson, Reno.

Additionally Women's Southern Nevada Golf Association provided two $500 scholarships to Darci Sutton, Las Vegas, and Crystal Ponich, Boulder City.
