It is my understanding that the well intended inclusion of "up to three representatives of the Board" in the LU contract was to open up the monthly meeting discussions to transparency and provide impartial feedback to the Board. I believe that this is not to be interpreted as three Board members and the "difference" is that it should not be any THREE Board members at all. Yes, one Board member should be assigned as a liaison to facilitate the information back to the Board. Bob Kessler, who was removed as one of these representatives, without just cause, is one of the most informed people relating to the golf trends here in Ocean Pines and has been keeping impressive statistics on all golf matters for years. He is most knowledgeable in this field and I am extremely confidant in his abilities to best represent our association in this regard.  He is much more than just a "golfer". You, of all people, Joe, know this change was COMPLETELY political in nature.

The Golf Council, which is not an official advisory committee is made up of golf members only. They mainly represent the interests of those only with golf memberships. Dave Stevens did try to incorporate full and part time resident golfers into a committee to be more inclusive and represent a greater number of our association members concerns to no avail. The association would best be served with a Golf Advisory Committee made up of golf members, full and part time resident golfers and non-golfers as well.
