MVCC – Evaluation of Course Improvements

Introduction
The MVCC Greens Committee, at the direction of the President, has assembled
this report for the purpose of providing guidance for decisions on potential course
improvements.  Complete Report

The first step the Committee took was to put forth their biggest and best ideas.
Discussion of all those ideas followed. Some of the wackier ideas were exposed
and discarded. The final outcome of this process was a list of ten possible
improvements. Voting on the ten followed by secret ballot. The votes were
tallied, and the Chairperson ranked them into a tiered system: “Strong”,
“Moderate”, “Limited”, and “Rejected”.
The value of this process should not be underestimated. The Committee is
comprised of many diverse perspectives: low handicappers, high handicappers,
men, women, young, old, riders, walkers, and those who maintain the course. The
results of this report do not reflect the opinion of just one person (we already
have plenty of that at MVCC). Rather, what we have in this report is a
representative sense of how the membership writ-large may view these projects.
The “Strong” projects are those the Committee saw as most important to
implement. Only two were labeled as such: 1) Install Cart Paths, and 2) Install Red
Tee Ball Washers at 5th, 6th, and 8th
.

At the other end of the rating scheme, we see that three projects were
“Rejected”. Discussion of the these three are included in this report because it
may be informative to see why they were rejected.
A final section of this report lists those projects that were not examined at this
time, but very well may need to be examined in the future.
Cost information in this report assumes all work is performed by contractors.
Actual costs would need to be created through contractor consultation. No
cost/benefit analyses have been performed for this report.
