reciprocal Club's are not applicable and will not count towards their minimum. Should a member

fail to meet their required food and beverage minimum, a charge will be made for the amount of

the unspent balance plus tax on the last day of the current cycle. Carryovers into the next year

will not be allowed.

Section 1.6 Member Children Policy

Unmarried children under age 23 years of age are included in the privileges of their parent's

Section 1.7 Special Guest/Significant Other Policy

All membership categories at Nakoma Golf Club are family based, but for our single members

we allow the designation of a significant other to be named onto the members account. A

significant other shall be defined as an unmarried companion to the current member who is

either living with the member or in a relationship of mutual support, caring and commitment with

the potential to live with the member in the near future. A significant other can be named on the

current member's account with written notification to the Nakoma Board of Directors or General

Manager. A limitation of one designated significant other can be named per calendar year. The

significant other shall have full membership status of the current member and shall abide by all

rules and regulations as set forth by the Club and the Nakoma Golf Club by-laws. The current

member is responsible for all charges incurred by the significant other.

Section 1.8 Leave of Absence Policy

A member in good standing, whose account is paid in full and current to date, may request

Leave of Absence status for proven financial, medical or other sufficient cause. This request

must be presented to the Nakoma Board of Directors or General Manager with proper

documentation for consideration. Upon approval, Leave of Absence status eliminates the

member's financial obligation (dues, fees and minimums spending) for a period of twelve

months. In turn, a Leave of Absence member is not allowed to utilize the Clubs facilities or

utilize their account at a reciprocal Club during the twelve month period and will be charged a

Board determined Leave of Absence fee. A Leave of Absence member is still responsible for

any special assessments billed by the Club during the twelve month term.

Leave of Absence status may be reversed prior to the full twelve month term based on financial

turnaround, improved health or other sufficient cause. A request to reverse this status must be

submitted to the Nakoma Board of Directors for approval. Forfeiture of the Leave of Absence fee

would apply and subsequent back dues may be assessed based on timing and nature of the

Leave of Absence.

Upon Board approval of the reinstatement the member shall be entitled to full Club privileges

based on their membership category and resume paying dues, fees and minim spending. A

Leave of Absence extension into a second year is allowed should circumstances warrant, but

following the second term the member must rejoin or resign their membership from the Club.

Section 1.9 Transfer Policy

A Club member may request to transfer their current membership to another membership

category at any time. A transfer of membership to a non-member of the Club is not allowed. A

transfer request must be presented to the Nakoma Board of Directors or General Manager for

approval, although a transfer down in membership category will not be approved until the end of

the fiscal year, December 31st. The member must maintain their current membership category,

including payment of all associated dues, fees, and minimum spending until the transfer request

has been approved. A member may transfer their membership in one of the approved following

ways:

Transfer Option 1: A club member who has aged up or now qualifies for an age and

years of membership based category will be automatically transferred on January 1st

unless a written resignation request has been submitted.

Transfer Option 2: A Club member, per written request, is allowed to transfer to another

category within Nakoma's membership schedule that is not age or age and years of

membership based. A transfer up in category is allowed at any time; a transfer down will

only be allowed at the end of the fiscal year, December 31st_

A Board determined transfer fee may apply. The deadline for requests to transfer down shall be

no later than the date of the January Nakoma Board of Directors meeting. Transfers down will

not be accepted once this meeting has taken place; and the member is obligated to pay all

appropriated dues, fees and minimum spending for the year per their respective membership

category.

Section 1.10 Resignation Policy

A Club member wishing to resign, for any reason, shall submit a letter of resignation to the

Board of Director's or the General Manager of the Club. A resignation letter may be submitted

beginning November 1st, but will not be approved until the fiscal year end, December 31'\

Membership must be maintained for the remainder of the calendar year. A resignation shall not

release the member from financial obligations, including any and all delinquent dues and other

fees owed to the Club. Once a resignation has been approved, all Club privileges shall cease. A

member may resign during the course of the year due only to a job loss, a move out of the

Madison area or extreme medical hardship by submitting proof. The deadline for standard end

of year resignation letters shall be no later than the date of the January Nakoma Board of

Director's meeting. Resignations will not be accepted once this meeting has taken place and the

member is obligated to pay appropriated dues, fees and minimums associated with their

membership category for the entire calendar year.

A resigned member may re-join the Club by submitting an application as required by the by-

laws. If the resignation period has been less than one year, the member shall pay all cumulative

past dues and fees as a condition of membership. If the resignation has been greater than one

year, the member may be required to pay a one-time Board determined reinstatement fee.

Section 1.11 Payment of Club Account

As a member, you have agreed to pay membership dues and fees, any charges incurred by

you, your family members or your guests and minimum spending requirements. In addition,

should a member sponsor an event/banquet on the behalf of a non-member or organization, the

sponsoring member will ultimately be responsible for all charges incurred at the event/banquet.

As to items which are charged at the Club or at another Club extending reciprocal privilege, a

charge ticket/chit will be issued for each transaction at the time when served and applied to your

account. It is request that you, your family members or your guests sign the ticket/chit to validate

the charge. These items as well as any other charges, will be billed to members on a monthly

basis (through the last day of the calendar month) together with any other amounts owed by a

member to the Club.

Dues are assessed on an annual basis for the calendar year but they may be paid in equal

monthly installments. Should a golfing member pay their full annual dues by February 28th will

receive 6 (six) complimentary golf guest passes for use during the current calendar year. The

privilege to pay dues monthly does not remove or lessen the annual dues total obligation.

A membership statement will be mailed each month and will be available for viewing within the

Nakoma website. Accounts can be paid via check, ACH payment or Credit Card. ACH and

Credit Card transactions can be executed through the Nakoma website initiated by the member

and may be subject to processing fees. Any check or payment returned to the Club for

insufficient funds will be subject to a $40 administration fee.

Accounts are payable upon receipt and will be considered delinquent after the last day of the

month. Example; charges incurred from March 1st through March 31st are due by April 30th and

will be considered delinquent beginning May 1st. See delinquent policy in Section 1.12 for further

delinquent information.

Discrepancies occur from time to time, if a member believes that their bill contains an error or

would like to request clarification on a charge incurred, the member should contact the Nakoma

accounting office or General Manager within 60 days of the charge in question to assist with

their inquiry. It is not necessary to pay any amount in question on a bill while it is being

investigated, but a member is still obligated to pay the parts of the bill that are not in question.

While Nakoma investigates the discrepancy, the Club cannot report a member as delinquent or

take any action to collect the amount in question.

Section 1.12 Delinquent Policy

If a member account is not paid by the last day of the month in which the statement is issued,

the account is considered delinquent and will be subject to a finance charge at an annual

percentage rate of 22% or 1.83% monthly, on all amounts past due. Failure to pay an account in

a timely manner may also result in the suspension of Club privileges, termination of membership

and or be referred to collections by the Club's authorized debt collector. The General Manager

shall have the ability to negotiate payment plans and shall have the ability to submit the

delinquent member to collections after all reasonable attempts to collect the debt have expired.

Sunday year round, with the exception of the annual two week shutdown occurring at the end of
