| 1525.2 | | JUPITR::LONGCHAMPS | | Thu Jun 04 1992 12:28 | 3 |
| Yes, you can probably count on 10 - 12 people from SHR.....

Rich, sorry I'm late in on this but work and life in general
have been hectic in recent weeks. Doesn't look like I'll have
time to run it this year but I'll certainly will help out some.
Some things I'd like to see this year:
- Would like to see it as a late season outing again (October).
August/September is too full for me and I probably won't be
able to play. Wouldn't Shattuck in October when the foliage
is at peak be spectacular?
- Have a limit of 72 players (36 teams). The rounds have taken
too long the last couple of years (6-7 hours).
- To get back to the original concept of the Challenge Cup, only
those teams that feel they have a legitimate shot at winning
should sign up.
- Everybody play from the tips no matter where we play (Shattuck
included).
- Less emphasis on food, prizes and more on the golf. Keep it
simple. How about just having the cups up for grabs.

| I have been asked by several of the guys from Hudson who played last
year (about 5 foursomes) when and if the Cup would be played this
year!! They all hoped that it would be a return to Shattuck Inn!!

P.S. If you are considering another shotgun, Rick's suggestion of a
limit of 72 golfers would hinder any such attempt....I doubt you'd find
a course allowing a shotgun for only 72 greens fees....144 is usually
standard!!

| I'd certainly be interested. However, I may need a different partner
if we play Shattuck. My partner was not too psyched about Shattuck.

| Turns out my partner wants a second chance at Shattuck so we'd be in for
sure (unless other conflicts arise with the date).

| If I can find a partner willing to head North, The Texas contingency
would like to be included. If you can plan something for the weekend of
Aug 15/16 I'll be in town for NetU. If not, I'll be in touch with those
regulars and maybe I can find a game.

October s*cks! Last year was freezing cold. I thought
golf was a summer game!?!?
Move it up to July or August - why wait 4 months for a
day in the mid 40's ??

| 1525.13 | Volunteers | MRKTNG::LUCIANO | RICH LUCIANO @TTB | Fri Jun 12 1992 08:49 | 18 |
| So far...no volunteers to organize and run the 1992 Challenge Cup!
If I were to run it AGAIN, I'd run it at Skymeadow in Nashua, NH on
August 11...no meals...no discussions...just great golf and prizes for
low gross:
- mens team
- womens team
- mixed team
From experience, the biggest problem with running a tournament is
gaining consensus (rules, format, prizes, playing conditions, etc). It
becomes an easy task if I post the rules early...and anyone who wants
to play by those rules is welcome to play.
Do you want me to organize it?
FYI...Skymeadow was voted best course in NH...and its in great shape!
|
| 1525.14 | Yes, please do! | GIAMEM::SHUMAN | | Mon Jun 15 1992 11:55 | 4 |
| Rich....what you have offered to do is fair. I would be willing to play
under these conditions.

| That's the best approach.

| 1525.16 | another reason I suggested October | DEVMKO::BLAISDELL | Keep an even keel | Tue Jun 16 1992 13:08 | 15 |

To be a little more direct and blunt. Given what is going to be
happening to Digital in the next quarter, do you think it is wise to
schedule a golf tournament at a time when a lot of people are going to be
laid off?
There are some that will say that a tournament like this would be a
morale booster or something that will take the mind off the pressures
at work, however, my heart and enthusiasm won't be in it and my thoughts
will be for friends and colleagues that might be leaving the company
shortly. Maybe in Q2, the picture may be a bit different and brighter?
Sorry for the gloominess, but these are gloomy days at DEC.

| 1525.17 | out of work | MRKTNG::LUCIANO | RICH LUCIANO @TTB | Tue Jun 16 1992 23:16 | 9 |
| If I am out of work, I'd look forward to seeing old friends on the golf
course.
As a wise person once said....
"Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things
turn out".
Look forward to seeing you at the Challenge Cup.

| I'd be interested too. How about playing Brentwood (keene) or Crump
and Fox (Bernardston, Mass.)?
--Mark
I like the Fox!!!
