Pine Meadows Annual Report <br />Bill Harrison of New England Golf Corporation presented the Annual Report for Pine Meadows <br />Golf Course. Financially it was a good year in spite of it being dry. There was an 8% increase <br />in revenue for greens fees and a 14% increase in cart rentals. The 8% is attributed to the dollar <br />fee increase. The 14% increase in cart rentals is attributed to the heat. The golf cart lease has <br />expired and the Town will be going out to bid on carts soon. The lease rate should see a slight <br />increase of possibly $100 – $200 per month. <br /> <br />This year the following improvements were made: <br />?? <br />Putting green- was estimated at $30,000 from USGA, but $500 was probably all that was <br />spent. The area will only continue to improve as time passes. <br />?? <br />Two practice hitting stations were built and are a nice addition. <br />?? <br />Trees were planted on first and fifth fairways. <br />?? <br />Cart paths on fifth and ninth were built and/or upgraded. <br />?? <br />Drainage left of the fourth green, which was previously very wet, has now been completed. <br />?? <br />Mounding and sod were added around the ninth green. <br />?? <br />Improved planting areas around the course. <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br /> <br /> <br />
