Golf Course Report and Tour • John Allen and Kyle Walsh reported to the Recreation Committee on the conditions at Pine Meadows, which are excellent despite the excessive rain earlier in the season and the current heat wave. Mr. Allen informed the Committee that he has recently been hearing positive comments from those who play the course. Mr. Allen also added that there have been an increasing number of Seniors and youngsters who are playing on a regular basis. The one negative that golfers mention is the pace of play, Ms. Simmons told the Committee that several years ago, Pine Meadows did make an attempt to address this by making the current third tee the first tee. This proved to be a fiasco, and the idea was abandoned immediately. Ms. Simmons briefly reviewed the USGA Turf Advisory Report which had been distributed to the Committee at the June meeting. She and John Allen indicated that they were very pleased to report that the USGA has indicated that the course is in excellent condition. • Members of the Recreation Committee briefly discussed the status of the course, its playability, course improvements, and the plans for future projects at the course. Ms. Simmons indicated that follow through on recommendations made by the USGA are prioritized and included as part of the ongoing Capital Improvement plan. 1 • / 1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 • Karen Simmons, Director of Recreation, distributed copies of the FY2014 Capital Budget, and informed the Recreation Committee that she and Chris Filadoro had begun to work on the FY2015 Capital Budget request.
