260.0. "A shorter Green Meadow" by CALLME::MR_TOPAZ () Wed Apr 27 1988 19:26

       Just played Green Meadow #2, and discovered that the 7th hole is
       now a fairly bogus par 3 (very short, no traps, immediately after
       another par 3), apparently made so because of construction in the
       area. 
       
       Anyone know if more holes are scheduled to be doomed?

260.1Just a little infoTRACTR::OSBORNEThu Apr 28 1988 11:3411
    Yes, 18 more holes are doomed. They expect to build a 4-600 unit
    hotel/conference center in there as well as a number of single family
    and condo homes in there. They will be leaving 18 holes, not sure
    which ones, and also build a par 3 executive course. It doesn't
    seem like they will be starting any of the major changes until next
    year.
    This is really going to put a hurt on the league situation up here.
    Right now all four nines are booked up monday thru thursday will
    two leagues on each.

260.2a DEC golf course???NSG017::GORDONThu Apr 28 1988 19:157
    maybe DEC could be convinced to do something with the FRIARY(sp?)
    that they have in hudson,n.h....like turn it into a golf course
    for employees....they've had it for at least a couple of years I
    think and haven't done anything with it...not even sure if it has
    enough land to support any recreation type activities...

260.4Not LikelyTRACTR::OSBORNEFri Apr 29 1988 17:0514
    Just to fill you n a little bit about the Friary Site. This is 175
    acres and there has been plans for building facilities on that site.
    The only reason we haven't is because of the town and their traffic
    problem. This project has been on hold for 4 years now. There has
    even been talk of making this into a Corporate conference center,but
    it seems everytime we (Digital) buy a piece of land, the first
    speculationis that it would be ideal for a conference center.
    
    Since I live in Hudson, I agree it would be an ideal spot for a
    golf course.
    
    Sorry if I busted any bubbles, hopes, etc.
