RCSC Management Report August 2025 ❗️May want to review in advance of upcoming Exchange on Monday, September 8, 2025. Of interest, Assessments, PIF & CIF graphs, Media, Communication and Visitor Center reports. ➡️ HERE
Interesting read. The amount of work the RCSC does on a monthly basis is staggering. I found the update on the technology informative as well. Finally, the one never-ending challenge, golf is still plaguing us. We know from a historical perspective, every time we raise the price for a round of golf, play reduces. For those who haven't looked golf revenue is down. We overcame that by clinging to cheap full play passes (both member and non alike) and it resulted in 350,000 rounds that beat the snot out of the courses. I have no idea what the answer is, but staying the course was not an option. I like the new director of golf and the experience he brings to the table. Lord knows he has his hands full. Just another day in paradise; where problems are just opportunities eh?
Would you care to post a link/and or the content you found so that everyone can see what you found. I personally am interested in the new web site development that is taking nearly 15 months with no definite date on implementation. SS7 as mentioned in another thread has absolutely nothing to do with web site development. SS7 is Telephony Architecture and has no impact that I know of on web site development or internet architecture. Telephony is related to phones. The last Technology Committee minutes I could find were from May 15, 2025. Those minutes mention nothing about the new web site but remarks about the ongoing search for Director of Golf which has nothing to do with a new web site other than naming the new Director.

In the Management August 2025 report, Communications, full team met with Eddy Renio, director of golf, to discuss new communication strategies.
SS7 was the backbone of the telephony architecture. Just how do you think the structure is built that allows communication between all of the various elements of the universe works? There’s wireless connectivity available for transport services between various carriers, but in order to communicate between the various central offices and exchanges, there is the telephony system that transports the signaling system to each individual network carrier. The T1’s and T3’s provide trunking signals that allow for communication. That means the telephony system also supports data transmission. So, no data transmission, no internet connection. The telephony network is still the primary operating system for the entire network, excluding those that have access to microwave and satellite transmission systems. Not every carrier has a satellite network, and others rely on reselling of network services to operate. The phone network is the main component of the communication infrastructure, data transmission and cellular connectivity. All data transmission needs an originating point and a terminating location. Website development relies on basic software language in order to be consistent and compatible with the application of use. The RCSC has not maintained its computer infrastructure to current industry standards, making it difficult for the transition to cloud based applications to be applied to the current environment. When trying to create language and applications for a new platform that can also support the current environment, it takes a great deal of effort and significant time. The knowledge base required is slowly becoming extinct, as no one teaches COBOL, Fortran or other antique technologies. Yet, they are still showing up and need to be transitioned to new platforms. Welcome to RCSC computing scene. Keeping the existing platforms requested and merging them with new technologies is a challenge, but it is being done for the RCSC as requested. You ask for documentation and details of what I know. I was on the board for 6 years. I repeatedly tried to get additional support and updated systems and software brought in for the corporation. It repeatedly failed because it fell on someone who was not going to do anything to improve the network. Even if I had all of the emails and documents that were sent back and forth about this issue, I would not be allowed to share them anymore. I spent countless hours looking at providers and suppliers that could accommodate this type of transition, gave the information to the GM, that’s where it died. Website developers rely on network architecture to develop and create the design for their end user interface. The telephone network has a touch on everything to do with data transport, which translates into the ability to design a website. No data, no information exchange, no design.
