Section 5: OPA Board Subject: GM Challenges Board Msg# 915093

Nonetheless, now that those concerns of the GM are out in the open
What concerns? I heard no specific concerns. All I heard is the GM state that the board made a mistake and it did not do due diligence. The GM made accusations. Here is a link to a list of the 30 or so courses they are currently managing around the country. When the public presentations were made I recall a few of the OPA golfers complaining that the courses they managed were way too high end to compare to our OPA course. I recall a board member making strange disparaging remarks about one of the men making the presentation. I'm speculating this entire Thompson thing was orchestrated with knowledge of and perhaps support of the board minority and a number of disgruntled OPA golf members. Here is a link to an Arnold Palmer designed course they manage -- Players Club at Deer Creek. Here's a link to one they built and manage -- Firekeeperr Golf Course. This is no fly-by-night operation. In fact, if anything, one might wonder why they would even want to become involved with us. I wonder if Landscapes Unlimited did their due diligence before submitting a response to the OPA RFP. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I suspect that this is a common malady among Sgt Major types/USAF equivalents who can be every bit and ofttimes more egotistical than General officers. You may be correct. Senior NCO leadership in any branch of our military are the subject matter experts, and the "go to" people to actually get the job done. I suspect Mr. Thompson, having come to the position of GM directly from being a board member himself has something to do with his "view" as to what the relationship between board member and GM should be. That said, I don't believe Mr. Thompson, when he was a board member, would have welcomed any GM doing what he did this past Saturday. Nonetheless, now that those concerns of the GM are out in the open, I hope the board responds to us (the membership) with assurance that they have indeed accomplished due diligence with regard to hiring a new golf course operator. |
