Staff Present: Karen Simmons, Director of Recreation, Chris Filadoro, Superintendent of Public

Others Present: Hank Manz, Board of Selectmen Liaison, John Allen, Pine Meadows Golf Club

The Recreation Committee meeting began at 5:40 p.m. The meeting acted on the following items:
1. Citizens and Other Boards — None
2. Annual Town Deport Picture —
3. 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.
