The committee was pleased with the proposed program and offered ideas to enhance the event.
Jay McGrail then reminded the Committee of the youth golf programs that were administered by his staff this summer and noted that the success of these programs were recognized by the LPGA in the form of a $6000 grant.
Following the discussion of the LPGA grant, the Chairman asked Jay McGrail and William Friend to update the Committee on the status of the Placement Agreement for the installation of golf simulators at the SSCC. Jay McGrail explained that he had contacted Alan Kearney, a local architect (A. Kearney Architects, 3 Summer Street, in Hingham) a member of the SSCC, to assist him with the design and preparation of construction drawings for the room and that Mr. Kearny had agreed to help, at no cost to the SSCC. Jay McGrail then invited the Committee to inspect the room and discussed the design ideas that were being developed. The Committee supported the ideas that had been proposed and encouraged Jay McGrail to continue his work with Mr. Kearney. Jay McGrail advised the Committee he would prepare a letter to be sent to A. Kearney Architects 3 Summer Street in Hingham, expressing the appreciation of the Committee for the professional assistance provided to the SSCC on the simulator project.
