Date		Time	Your Name	We currently have three events per year - Individual Champ - Team Champ - Hall of Fame; I care about the the following	Tell us what is important to you about the CGRA	Willing to Serve?	Change Name?	Name Change Comments	Use of Profie?
2/3/2012		10am	Dick Mitchell	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	Hall of Fame	Yes	Yes	Need a name change to attract more members	Will send in information
2/3/2012		10am	Henry Lister	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	I use it to contact people with work. I would enjoy more opportunities to "clatch" face-to-face about Hall of Fame nominees - offer suggestions, discuss qualifications, etc. I'm always interested in reporting opportunities. Provides a professional presence to what I do. We need another project like HoF.	Yes	No	More representative and encourages inclusion of other media members.	Keep informing members of it. See if it can be expanded to a LinkedIn Group to encourage networking.
2/3/2012		noon	Jack Bacot	Hall of Fame	networking and fellowship - and education.	Perhaps in the future	Yes	Recently the Magazine Publisher's of America (MPA) over 100 year old organization - changed its name to "the Association of Magazine Media" - the key word being media - because as they explained, content is produced over numerous platforms - golf media is not longer newspaper and magazine journalist - now includes social media content, blogs, tweets, facebook pages, and more - time to join the movement.	need to be prompted and will make changes
2/3/2012		noon	tom mcauliffe	Team Championship, Hall of Fame	It lent credibility and to some degree, validation, for my otherwise insane pursuit of golf journalism	Yes	Yes	it is a more inclusive title
2/3/2012		noon	Howard Ward	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	The most imporant thing is the Hall of Fame. Without our hall, there is no way for amateur golfers and others in the industry in the Carolinas to be honored. The Carolinas PGA started its HOF only after we established ours. But the CPGA only honors professionals ... and John Derr, of course. Other than the HOF, the asssociationi allows us to meet and maintain relationships with others in the profession. How many of us would even know each other without it? It will be a tragedy if we can't save this organization in some form.	Yes	Yes	Changing times in media. Regular newspaper reporters are no longer the backbone of the organization. Unless we change, we die.	It's a great feature. Don't understand why everyone doesn't use it.
2/3/2012		noon	Michael Dann	Individual Championship, Team Championship	Hall of Fame and awards.  Also the chance to team with Rich to beat the Mitchells.	Been there, done that.	No	It does not make a bit of difference to membership recruiting. CGMA is harder to say than CGRA.	I don't want the police to find me.
2/3/2012		not able to attend	Doug Stephens	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	It's a great group that helps spread the word and promote the great game of golf.	Perhaps in the future	Yes	It might help expand the group and bring in more people.	none
2/3/2012		not able to attend	Kevin Brafford	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	I think it stands for excellence in many areas, and because there's such a tradition, I hate to see it go away.	Perhaps in the future	Yes	Makes sense, given today's landscape.	I don't think I'd ever use it -- just not my style.
2/3/2012		noon	JW Farquhar	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	Getting to meet with others in the business. Golf. Reviewing golf courses. Can't understand why all "Golf Reporters" are not on the Golf Panel that rates golf courses.	Yes	No	Although media probably better name, a name change must have a purpose and a game plan with follow through.	Will add
2/3/2012		10am, noon, 2pm	Elsa Bonstein	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	I like the idea of networking with others in the golf media business.  Also, when there is an event in this area, I can get the word out through our association press releases.  I learn something new each year.	Working on novel, time limited for now.	Yes	Yes, most of us write about golf, but the public perception of a "Reporter" is not what we're about.  We do all kinds of things, write, talk, speak, take photographs, etc. etc.  The new name encompasses more.	I will update my files.
2/3/2012		10am	Steve Williams	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	Everything that we do ... I like the HofF, meetings, the championships, the awards.  Just wish more people would be involved. What do the retired folks do with all their time?	already do ... can't offer much more time at this time. Maybe if I ever retire.	No	History of the organization.  In addition to the extra steps you mentioned earlier, it would mean a lot of extra trouble for treasurer (checks, deposit slips, bank account name would have to be redone) ... I just don't see how a name change will make a big difference.	update
2/3/2012		not able to attend	Bill Bauer - Fair Play, SC	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame, Golf gatherings	I am working on Monday the 27th (my real job at Clemson) or I would attend. The Hall of Fame is important - I am a big fan of tradition. It is also important for promoting golf at all levels in the Carolinas. When members and guest gather for tournaments, golf outings, and the H of F celebration, the opportunity for networking among members is invaluable; as is the friendship. I brought a guest to Pinehurst this past year, an old friend who moved to my end of SC, and he thought the entire program, not to mention the golf, was outstanding. He wished he belonged! That says something in itself. (Ask Steve to resend me the dues notice. I was traveling when I got it and trashed the email) Thanks for all you have done....	Help out at my end of SC.	Yes	I have only been a member for five years but I have seen that the number of "reporters" has been slowly diminishing; being replaced by internet bloggers, radio and television media, and magazine writers like myself. The future lies in the media. When I was on a media trip to Cabin Bluff (Doug Hollandsworth) last summer, there were 32 of us - and I think I met one feature writer for a Macon newspaper. The rest were a blend of the above. To expand membership and networking, the image has to change as well.	I have.
2/4/2012		not able to attend	Gene Hudson	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	The CGRA organization as a whole.  Recognizing our own members for  their accomplishments as well as Hall of Fame members.. Getting together with media of all facets.....Meeting our comrads from all over the state as well as outd of state	Perhaps in the future	Yes	I think you described it best when you said that the new name may open up to more signees that origionally may have thought that you had to be a reporter or writer to be a member of the organization	I need to sign in on it and get it done and will i checked not able to attend because I will be in Ohio at this time
2/4/2012		noon	bill hensley	Hall of Fame		Yes	Yes
2/7/2012		noon	Jim Johnson	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	The networking and friendships have always been an important part of this association for me.	Perhaps in the future	Yes	By changing our name we are keeping up with the times  and possibly inviting a younger group of prospective members to  look at us a bit more seriously.	I've just been lazy...It will be done before  the Ides of March are over.
2/7/2012		noon	Bob Hodor	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame	Comraderie.	Yes	Yes	The term Media better identifies the composition of the membership.	If I was not retired, I would surely use the section to highlight capabilities,goals, etc. Since I am retired, I will likely not utilize this feature.
2/7/2012		noon	Putterboyd	Hall of Fame		No	Yes	I think it delivers the correct message.	If I were still employed, it would make more sense.
2/7/2012		10am	Betsey Mitchell	Hall of Fame	Hall of Fame is important. If the CGRA is unable to hold itself together, another association needs to take up the responsibility.	No	Yes	Transition from "reporter" to "media" broadens our membership base potential	Mine is there. Others have been reminded numerous times
2/9/2012		not able to attend	carol bulone	Individual Championship, Team Championship, Hall of Fame, any other tool to communicate with peers	It is a tool to gather information and meet peers with the same interests. Note: unfortunately, we have family matters at present that would prevent us from any active involvement.  I do know this is what keeps any organization going but in the furture i look forward to more participation.  thank you for all you time and effort.  Betsey you did a wonderful job and it will be a loss to see you go.	Perhaps in the future	Yes	Changing the name to incude all media should promote and entice additonal memberships and gives us a broader range from which to gather resources.	i just have not gotten around to it but it is a good idea to exposure.
