Article 17 is a citizen’s petition that has not even been endorsed by the town’s Recycling Commission. If passed, it would prohibit the sale of water or any other beverage in plastic containers on town property including The Captains Golf Course.
Freemans Grill would be the only restaurant in all of Brewster that would be negatively affected by this which seems grossly unfair. And the group that is proposing this bylaw change has never even offered to meet with anyone at the golf course to discuss the problems it would cause.
Sean Sullivan has advised us that, if it does pass, it would be very difficult for Freemans Grill to remain profitable because at this time there are no good alternatives available to replace plastic bottles which can also be recapped. And, as we all know, it is very difficult to keep any kind of open beverage from spilling if you are either pushing a golf cart or riding in one. If Freemans Grill loses this significant revenue stream, it is hard to imagine that they (or any other vendor) would be interested in renewing their contract with the golf course when it expires in less than 2 years.
Freemans Grill is the exactly kind of small business that the people of Brewster should be supporting. Sean and Zach have invested time, energy and their own money in making improvements that make their restaurant a destination not just for golfers but for the public at large. And they are more than willing to work with the Golf Commission and the Recycling Committee to try to find an alternative that helps us all move towards being a greener community while not negatively impacting their business.
Reducing our use of plastic is a wonderful goal but a lot more discussion is needed. The Brewster Recycling Commission has launched a work group to analyze Brewster’s plastic use. Let them do their work and wait until they have a proposal that makes sense for all those who may be impacted.

ATTENDEES : Bill O’Brien / Rob Harris / Ed Stefanik / Emile Poirier / Bruce Beauchemin. Guest : Orin Segall.
OPENING REMARKS : (Bill O’Brien)
– motion carried to accept the minutes of the March 13, 2019 CCMGA Board Meeting
– Brewster Golf Commission (BGC) will meet April 11 @ 4PM at Captains Golf Club. An update to the proposed solar power project at Captains Golf Club now indicates the Town will receive annual lump sum payments of $ 100K vs earlier reported $ 18K. This subject will be further discussed at the April 11 BGC meeting.
MEMBERSHIP & FINANCE UPDATES : (Emile Poirier)
– 2019 MGA Membership @ 66 (w/recent additions) vs ~ 60 last year at this time. Anticipate additional memberships as snow birds return.
– current MGA account balance is $ 3409.03 with no outstanding obligations.
MGA SCHOLARSHIP AWARD : (All)
– 2 applications were received from Nauset High School and were reviewed by Board members. A response will be provided to Nauset High School shortly, following which the awardee’s name will be announced.
WEDNESDAY PLAY UPDATE : (Rob Harris)
– 9 members have signed up for the opening April 17 Scramble .. several more members are expected to join.
– May 22 and October 2 competitions will employ Shotgun starts with food provided afterwards. Arrangements have been confirmed with the Freeman’s Grill team. For these events (linked to meals afterwards), the Board adopted a proposal to limit maximum team scores to Net Bogey on each hole (players will be encouraged to pick up promptly when max score is reached). The intent is to optimize pace of play and allow meals & awards to take place without undue delay.
– there will be no 11AM starting times for Wednesday MGA competitions in 2019. This was introduced last year to determine whether there may be preferences for later tee times, however responses did not show any significant variation from the traditional (earlier) starting times.
– the Wednesday Hole In One pool had no winners in 2018. The 2019 season will start with a carry-over $ 295 prize bucket, increasing weekly until a winner is recognized.
* NEXT CCMGA MEETING -> MAY 8, 2019 @ 2PM in Captains Meeting Room.
The first CCMGA event is on Wednesday, April 17th (you can begin signing up now)
Why not download an application and send in your dues now while you’re thinking about it?
The CCMGA exists to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship, to organize competitions and events throughout the year, and to support the operation of the Captains for the benefit of all members and guests.
The CCMGA sponsors and organizes a full calendar of events.
And the best of all… You don’t have to make a tee time! We have early block times.
The CCMGA is the proud sponsor of the Mike Austin Scholarship awarded annually to an outstanding college-bound student from the Nauset Golf Team.
