Meeting Minutes
Cary Thomason Secretary
On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, the monthly meeting of the El Dorado Park Men’s Golf Club was held under the legendary Big White Tent. Chef Bing served a buffet including turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, salad, and brownies for dessert. Some people say it was the moistest turkey ever, believe me.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by President Brad Wilcox, who led the members in the Pledge of Allegiance. There were approximately 100 members including past presidents Mike Montgomery, Tommy Retterath, Terry Fulford, Clifford Aichele, Walter Gordon, and Nick Zamora.
New members Luke de León, Tom Curran, and David Caudle introduced themselves and were welcomed into the fine tradition of golf, meetings, and raffle tickets.
The previous month’s Meeting Minutes and Treasurer’s Report were approved.
Directors’ Reports:
Director Mike Montgomery explained the evening’s raffle procedures and thanked the Board for their service this year, which they accepted graciously and without blushing (much).
Special Events Chairman Ken Rademacher mumbled the details for the special events for the Christmas tournament and thanked the following members for their raffle donations:
- Jim Jamison with Ghost Golf
- Ron Maden with Southern Wine and Spirits
- Tyler Marmion
- Geno DeAngelis
Director Omar Diaz distributed winnings to the Flight champions and runners-up and confirmed that trophies are “on the way,” which in golf terms means definitely happening at some point.
Director Mark Ziegenhagen announced that October’s Golfer-of-the-Month honors go to absolutely no one, as no one turned in a scorecard. Mark also noted that the Derby will take place on the 1st tee box immediately following the Christmas Tournament, so plan accordingly—or don’t.
VP-Tournament Chairman-Webmaster-Life Member Mark Miller said that the stage was set for the Christmas Tournament and those that paid for November's rained-out Super’s Revenge would automatically be signed up for the January Mad Scramble. Members were also told to check their Special Event sign-ups and playing groups for accuracy.
There was no New Business.
There was no Old Business.
The winner of the $100 attendance drawing was Chris Plumridge.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:19 pm so the very rowdy raffle could begin— which was clearly the real reason everyone showed up.
