Dave Johansen stated the courses are holding up well under the heat. Vice Chairman Schultz

ones. Vice Chairman Schultz mentioned that the GPS systems are still timing out. Michael
Lautenbach stated that the Pro Link mechanic was at the golf course the day prior and tried to
fix that error. Since not all units are showing that error, the faulty ones need to be identified
and looked at again.

pursue more group golf business. Michael Lautenbach is introducing him to staff at the
Convention Bureau and other places. Commissioner Wright asked if the tournament fees are
set in concrete. Bob Johns replied that staff is working with Orin Abrams to come up with
some all-inclusive packages. Michael Lautenbach stated he wants to use the GPS system to
help the larger tournaments replace the traditional tee signs. Commissioner Wright asked
about smaller tournaments playing during downtimes. Michael Lautenbach replied that he is
hoping that Joe will help in this area when he contacts past tournaments and local businesses.
