Family Golf Project (Doug Philbin)
- A Special Meeting of the BMGC Board was held to discuss the Family Golf Project. The Project is expected to go back to the Pasadena City Council later this year seeking approval to move forward.
- Craig Kessler, SCGA Director, Public Affairs, and Kevin Fitzgerald, Public Affairs, SCGA addressed the board.

- Craig believes the Family Golf Project should move forward as it preserves 36 holes of municipal golf (the SCGA’s primary objective) and the Project is golf related (expanded driving range, new driving range technology and mini golf).
- According to Art, the Greens Committee met and reports that the RBOC has already secured a course architect, committed to maintaining par and yardage for both courses in connection with the Project.
- After Craig and Kevin left the meeting, discussion ensued. Motion: The Board empowers and authorizes a group of 3 individuals including the current BMGC President, the current 1st Vice-President, and the most recent past President to meet with the RBOC to discuss BMGC’s concerns regarding the Family Golf Project as outlined in BMGC’s July 10, 2023 letter to the Pasadena City Council. The 3 individuals are empowered to represent BMGC in the discussions with the RBOC to resolve the club’s concerns.

The SCGA report concludes: Regardless of how the term “golfing” is used, what’s more important is the fact that more and more people are now playing golf. It doesn’t really matter how we describe it.

President’s Report (Doug Philbin)
- The RBOC held a Public Comments meeting on February 1, 2023 to discuss the planned Family Golf Project – a Family Putting Course adjacent to the west side of the proposed expanded driving range. Doug Philbin spoke as President of the club. While BMGC did not endorse or oppose the proposed project a number of concerns were raised including: preserving the integrity of both courses at current Par, maintaining a short game practice area, providing places for First Tee and general golf instruction, keeping range fees in line with other municipal properties, increasing available close-in parking, safety, returning a significant portion of any money made to the golf course and related facilities for much needed capital improvements and deferred maintenance. Doug emphasized a key goal of BMGC is to ensure that the par for each Brookside course not be changed. Doug reported on the estimated timeframe of the project: Public comment period ends 3/3/23; RBOC will respond to public comments, then there will be an RBOC board meeting in April. The RBOC will then decide whether to go forward. The RBOC approved plan will then be presented to the Pasadena City Council in May 2023. Should the project be approved the RBOC will then seek funding for the next phase.
- Rich Marthe also attended the February 1 meeting and commented that the meeting was well-attended including attendance by the Arroyo Seco Foundation, RBOC, BMGC, SCGA, a Pasadena City council member, and neighbors. The neighbors were very clearly against the project.

BMGC PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Late last week it was brought to the BMGC President’s attention that there were inquiries from a few of the Club & Class players regarding their scores that were taken into consideration in calculating their Club Index. After further review it was determined that scores that were posted from years back may have been included in the calculation and it was difficult to view these actual scores. It was decided to forgo the implementation of the Club Index for the June 2018 Club & Class tournament and that all players would use their Low Index. The President of the Brookside Men’s Club reiterated that we remain committed to using the Club Index for future BMGC tournaments and that the responsibility and implementation of any tournament handicap adjustment will remain with the BMGC Handicap committee. It was further reinforced that any inquiries to or by the BMGC Board members in this regard must be directed to the Handicap Committee for resolution.

Now we have several methods for all that want to renew and want to join the BMGC. The membership chairman decided not to run for a board position, thus his position must be filled. But, he has agreed to stay on and help the new Membership chairman.

Membership – K. Miller. To date – 360 Regular members, 154 Associates. We are under our forecasted 2017 membership goal by -17 Regular / -6 Associates.

Dave Sams, RBOC, gave a presentation on Turf Removal / Irrigation Project and Brookside GC. In order to reduce/ maintain future maintenance costs:
· Brookside still uses drinking water and this is extremely costly (an exhibit showed water expenses approaching $1 million annually)
· Will need to carve up 25 acres of the golf course’s turf (primarily in the rough / waste area)
· Must have an alternate water source by 2030
· 7 mile pipeline from Glendale (through Brookside to Huntington Gardens) – 50 year project
· The earliest this pipeline will reach Brookside will be 2017 – a $20 million project
