    years.  Good luck to all of you....

    Rick, thanks for all you've added - technically and otherwise. All the
    best, and may you continue to play well, and on great courses.

    Rick,
    
    May you  move  to  an  all  year  round golf area and corner the club
    market there! (or whatever you ambition in doing!)
    
    Best of lucks!

Good luck Rick.....

    Probably no good place to post this note and probably only a few who
    care.
    
    
    Digital has just given SCD the opportunity to pursue another career, so
    with some regret (from a noters perspective), this will be my last note.  
    What and where I will be is yet to be established, but Monday at 8:30
    am I am teeing it up in a tourney and Tuesday I am flying to Phoenix to
    launch a few golf balls and down a few drams of golden delicious
    elixir.
    
    After that, I will try my hand at the management consulting game and
    use the vast resources of the TFSO package to its fullest extent.
    Heck I might take up polo, I know of a pretty good looking babe that
    has some extra disposable income.  Or maybe I will go to work for the
    add agency that represents Ben Johnson, John Daly and Dennis Rodman.
    
    If any of you are in the SoCal area - you can find me at 714-770-1814.
    
    I fully expect that, like the movie Mr. Roberts, someone like One-Ton,
    Walta or Jack V. will serve as my Ensign Pulver and make sure the palm
    tree gets thrown over board when things get to serious and that someone
    will always be willing to throw a firecracker into the laundry, just to
    see what the reaction will be.
    
    May you all tee them high and watch them fly or tee them low and watch
    them go,  make all your makeables and lag for gimmes on the tough ones.
    
    Signing off

    SCD, you were/are the HIGHLIGHT of this notesfile for Me !! I'm very
    serious when I say "all the best in future endeavours - you desrve it."
    If you're ever back East, call me at 508-493-0179, or at home at 
    508-464-2947. and we'll tee it up. Give me a little notice, and we'll
    play some place real good...
    
    All the best,
    
    Jack

    Thanks Jack
    
    I am sure I will get to the East...especially during golf season. 
    
    SCD

    SCD, my sentiments exactly. It has been a slice for the past few
    years. Your wisdom and humor have kept me going on those days when RIFs
    and work can drag you down. 
    
    Best of luck. If you meet up with that Polopony heiress, give me a call
    so I can post a note on how much she really got. 
    
    If your in Dallas, look me up. (h) 214-869-2224, (w) 817-577-6000 we
    can tee it up and tilt a few frosties. Good Luck, all the best.
    
    Ken

Looks like I missed saying goodbye to SCD but I can say goodbye to the
rest of you.  This is my last week at DEC after 16 years.  I can truly
say that I will miss this notes conference most of all.  As for what
lies in store, I hope to be heading back to Northern Vermont within the
timeframe of TFSO. But first a vacation to Florida for some relaxation,
golf and fun. I hope the golf gods smile on us all nad that we all meet
on the first tee some day.  Good luck and good golfing to you all.

    	Kevin, best of luck to you and your game! I'm still enjoying the
    	set of "Haig" irons that I bought from you a few years ago.
    
    						see ya at the 19th.,

    Hi KO, SCD,
    
    	Just logged in to read the notesfile... normally it's quite
    pleasant and usually fun to read the stuff you guys/gals talk
    about. What a shock to the system. I am sad to hear the news
    two of our friends will be leaving DEC. 
    	I hope you guys are successfull in your new ventures, and you
    try and keep in touch. I'll miss hearing from both of you.
    
    	take care and good luck,
    
    	Walta

    SCD,
    
    This may be late but...
    
    Your comments in the notes file kept me coming back for more. I know I
    really enjoyed all of your humor, as wacked out as it may be.
    
    Best of luck - we're all pulling for you.
    
    All the best,
    
    Tom

    So Cal Dandy:
    
    This news is a shank!  You kept this file alive and well...  If you by
    chance see this, please call me since I'm just up the road a-piece - I
    once hit a four-wood this far (landed back of a truck on I-15 outside
    Temecula Creek).  My phone is 310.417.3767 or at home 310.318.3196.
    
    Wish you the best of luck - hope there are no cow pastures in your
    future, and may  all your kicks be toward the hole...
    
    Big Mac 

    KO, this is a wish for all the best in your years beyond DEC. You meet
    so many folks via the notes, you feel you know them personnally (even
    though you never meet face to face).
    
    I hope you can find a way to log in and stay in touch. 
    
    May the wind be at your back and your tempo be low and slow. Best
    wishes, we'l miss you and SCD.
    
    Ken

SCD, KO,

What a shock to the system.  You've both been two significant contirbutors to
the Golf notes files over the years.  Your abscence will leave a void.
KO, it was a pleasure to play with you & I will miss your authoritative
words on club building.  SCD, if you're ever back East please look up us fellow
noters it would be great to put a face with your great notes.

    KO,
    
    Best of luck in your new endeavors.  Thanks so much for the technical
    advice that you provided myself and others in this conference.
    
    Keep your chin up and move forward,
    
    Jim
    
    

    
      KO and SCD.  Don't know what to say.  You will be sorely missed.
      Good luck in your new endeavors and may those new endeavors take
      you near a golf course!
    
      Sad times in DEC......
    
    -rick

    KO, I just got over the shock from SCD, and now this!! I'm really
    bummed, but I know you'll land on your feet and keep makin' birdies out
    of life. I wish you the best and - thanks for all your file input. You
    kept us all informed, and I for one learned a lot.
    
    "Far and true,"
    
    Jack

    SCD
    
    I always appreciated what you had to say and the way you said it.
    
    I'm always available for golf with a person of your character.

    Well, this is going to be a de-register.  I have finally been asked to
    hit the fairways indefinitely.  I'll sure miss all of you.  I hope I
    run into some of you soon.
    
    God bless,
    Stuart

    
    Hi Stuart,
    
    	Good luck!
    
    	thanks Walta

    Stuart,
    
    Let the Golf Gods guide you in any new endeavors you may take.

    Stuart,
    	Its been good knowing and noting with you.  Hope to see you at
    Green Meadow.
    	Best of luck in new endeavors.
    
    Bill

    
      Stuart is a class act all the way.  I've had the opportunity to meet
      him and play golf with him.   I consider myself very lucky to do 
      both.
    
    -rick

    
    Good luck stuart, keep'm long and straight.

    I too join the ranks of those set loose to seek opportunity elsewhere.
    Although I've been mostly read-only, I have enjoyed this conference
    greatly.  I will miss the insight, the knowledge and the humor.
    
    For me this transition is good news.  September of '93 will find my
    wife and I living on Kiawah Island SC.  Between now and then, I intend
    to take advantage of some "free time" and get myself ready for The
    Ocean Course.
    
    Best of luck to those of you who ride out the storm.
    
    -Dean

    
    Hi Dean,
    
    	Geee it's great to hear some good news ! I guess not all
    	departures are bad... especially if it puts an avid golfer
    	at Kiawah Island!
    
    	Invite us over sometime :)     
    
    
    	Have fun,
    
    	Walta

    Well another one bids farewell. I've just been given that "carry bag"
    and told to join another tour. Lost my playing card - if you will. 
    
    One of the first things I did when I joined DEC five years ago was to
    find out how to log into the Golf Notes file. The first thing I thought
    of as I was told the package was coming was to log in one last time.
    This notes file has been a big part of my career with DEC and the
    friends I've made will always be remembered. Even though we never meet
    face to face, I feel I know each and everyone of you and your games. 
    
    I guess Friday will be my last official day. So I can at least stay
    active until then. 
    
    If any of you are in the Dallas area give me a call and we'll find a
    game. I do get up to the Boston area from time to time and will find a
    way to look some of you up.
    
    If you need to reach me:

    To all - Keep it in the short grass and let the left side be firm with
    the rolling iron.
    
    I'll miss this more than anything else at DEC. Good luck to those that
    stay the course and make DEC a winner again. I know it can be done.
    
    Ken

    
    Hi Ken,
    
    	Thanks for the many years of good advice and fun reading we'll
    all miss you. Good luck.
    
    	take care,
    
    	Walta

    Ken, this is very sad news for me to read. Over the years in this file,
    I've come to regard you as a pal, and your interesting contributions
    will be sorely missed.
    
    As we would expect, your reaction and message was "class" all the way,
    and once again, DEC has blown it. All the best in your future
    endeavors, and when you're up here, give me a call at (508) 464-2947 so
    we can play some golf. I didn't bother to enter my work number, because
    who the hell knows...
    
    Best of luck,
    
    __Jack

    Best of luck partner. Give me a call anytime!

    Hi all!
    
    Well, the time has come for me and Digital to part ways, I just want to
    thank everyone for all the great info that was shared in this
    conference and all the good times on the course we had.  If anyone
    needs a partner for the CC, let me know, I will be willing and ready!
    
    Take care and thanks!
    
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    
    		Sorry to hear another great noter will be leaving ...
    	hope your new ventures are a big success.
    
    	take care,
    
    	Walta

    
      Well, I'm a goner as of Friday next week.  Enjoyed this notes file
      and enjoyed meeting many of you at the various tournaments.  My 
      participation here diminished considerably the past few years which
      coincided with my diminishing enjoyment in working for this once
      great company.  To those that are left, good luck and I hope it turns
      around for you!   Oh, and if there is a tournament that will accept
      ex-deccies, give me a holler at     73062.423@Compuserve.com

    Rick,
    
    I have enjoyed  your  particapation  in  the conference as well as in
    some of the tournaments your organized.
    
    You'll be missed. Good luck.

    It's been a pleasure Rick, Best of luck.

    Rick,
    
    Let me know if you want to hit some on the weekends.
    
    Take Care,
    
    Bob
    

    
    HI Rick,
    
    	Bummer! Once again the notesfile looses a longtime contributer...
    
    	It has been a real pleasure hearing your thoughts on golf, and
    playing a couple rounds with you.. You are famous for creating the
    best tournament this notes file has ever seen with the Challenge Cup.
    We will all miss your witty remarks ... and helpfull observations.
    
    	Good luck, and keep it in the short grass!
    
    
    	Walta

     Thanks Tavo, Joe, Bob and Walta .  Keep hitting them straight and long.
     Just to clarify, I'm taking on a new job in Cambridge Ma (no courses)
     for a small startup company, reporting to the president.  Yikes, I hope
     he plays golf.  It will be a much different environment and will be 
     looking forward to it.  Also thought I'd save Digital some TSFO money. 

     They've been keeping extremely busy here till the bitter end, so this
     is it for me probably.  Bye to all the great contributors to this 
     conference from all over the world.  It has been fun.

 -rick
    

    
    Good luck, Rick.  I've enjoyed your comments also.  If you're ever 
    looking for a partner some time, look me up.
