| 860.1 | not worth $85 | CHRLIE::HUSTON | | Mon Feb 12 1990 14:02 | 6 |

I have played Franklin CC many times, and in my opinion it is not worth
it. The people there are not very open to outsiders. The course is
nice, but not that nice.

| 860.2 | Franklin CC ain't no Pebble Beach.. | LEDS::OBRIENR | | Mon Feb 12 1990 14:58 | 5 |

For $85 a head, I could play Skye Meadow, eat at the best
restaurant in Nashua, and have enough money left over to
cover the cost of all the balls I lost 8}

| 860.3 | Comparison | SA1794::WELLSPEAK | use to loath that econoline van | Tue Feb 13 1990 08:32 | 9 |
| I'm not volunteering for anything, but just as an example, a
friend of mine runs a 36 hole scramble tournament with cart for
all 36 holes, for approx. 28 guys, and we pay about $45.00 each
and that covers $10.00 a piece for prizes!!!
So in my opinion, $85.00 a person is way overboard! Not to
mention, anything you eat or drink before or during your round,
comes out of your own pocket.

drinks.
Sky Medows
$40 green fees on weekdays
$10 cart

| I agree with Paul Wellspeak.
Why don't you guys come west?? You can plan any number of fine public
courses for much less.
We're talking Westover CC 4700 yrds great condition and 28.00
for greens feess and cart.
Or
Chicopee CC. App. same price.

| 860.8 | A Volunteer??? | IAMOK::OCONNOR | | Tue Feb 13 1990 15:27 | 8 |
| Tom, last year about 40 people responded to an inquiry of mine for a
Spring Noters Tournament at Crumpin' Fox in Bernardston. Only 15 0r 16
actually joined. To say the least I was red in the face, however, Ron
Beck, the Pro, seemed to take it in stride. As a result, I am
reluctant to conduct a tournamnet outside of 495. Or, at a private
course anywhere. Maybe you might want to volunteer? I will be willing
to travel just about anywhere to play in a tournamnet.

| 860.9 | Travle vs. cost | SA1794::WELLSPEAK | use to loath that econoline van | Wed Feb 14 1990 09:22 | 16 |
| Tom T. meant to say 6700 yards, not 4700. Chicopee C.C. is a
beautifully condiftioned course, and is fairly difficult. From
the back tees it can eat you alive. Westover is a longer course
but not as difficult, in my opinion. another fine course out here
is Oak Ridge C.C.. They have 3 sets of mens tees, white, blue and
gold. The Whites are short, the blues fairly tough and the golds
are extremely difficult, but not always available. We play our
36 hole tournament at Oak Ridge, usually from the blues. We play
36 holes with a cart for under $40.00!!!
Greens fees, are certainly higher East of Worchester. By as
much as 50% on some courses, and on average, I would guess 35 to
40%. I don't have the time to organize antything out here, but
could supply course phone numbers and a little info. if someone
wanted it.

| 860.10 | suggestion | AKOV11::FEENEY | RAMROD | Thu Feb 15 1990 12:02 | 4 |
| I'd suggest Chicopee having played it last year with the maynard
league. Maybe have a tournament of Maynard versus Westfield or
somthing likr that. Anyway the course is really great and worth the
trip.

| 860.11 | I'm ready, Let's Go! | IAMOK::OCONNOR | | Fri Feb 16 1990 11:02 | 7 |
| I have scheduled a foursome to play Crumpin' Fox in the morning and
Chicopee in the afternoon on Friday, May 18th, rain or shine. We will be
going at it from the back tees. If there is another foursome that wants
to accompany us maybe it would be worth a beer.
Let me know.

| 860.12 | 32 holes! | DUGGAN::DIAZ | Octavio @GSB | Mon Feb 19 1990 11:25 | 9 |
| Re: <<< Note 860.11 by IAMOK::OCONNOR >>>
Rich,
May 18th seems like a long time from now, but 32 holes always get my
attention, so if more people reply and make another four, I am
interested.

| 860.13 | NO SPRING TOURNEY? | DUGGAN::DIAZ | Octavio @GSB | Mon Feb 19 1990 11:30 | 6 |
| Re: Cumpin' Fox and Chicopee
Late thought: I guess this means you're no longer planning on a
spring tourney.

| 860.14 | No Tourny. | IAMOK::OCONNOR | | Tue Feb 20 1990 08:54 | 4 |
| I am going to pass on running a spring tourny. To many courses want the
organizer to be legaly responsible for damages. That makes me nervous.
Contact Peter Stopera for the 18th, I think that he needs a fourth.

| 860.15 | outing at Far Corners | AIADM::CAMIRE | | Tue May 28 1991 16:32 | 12 |
| I just made arrangement for our DEC League for an outing (we play out
of Trull Brook) to play Far Corners in Boxford Ma at the end of Sept.
We will have the outing on a Friday, green fees $20, cart $20 ($10 ea.)
food (Bar-B-Q type) Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Salad, Corn on the cob, chips,
etc. and renting a room for $11.54. You must also spend $7 per head in
the pro-shop on gifts, comes to a total of $$38.54 per person. In our
league you rent your own carts. We've played there for the past three
years, nice course, great people to do business with and we always
have a good time. If you'd like more info. let me know and I'll send
you the Pro's name/telephone number and map how to get there....
