2nd ANNUAL (not in a row) SYRACUSEFAN.COM GOLF TOURNAMENT CANCELLED

[SkanSU]

The tournament has been cancelled for a variety of reasons. Any checks or money sent will be returned. If you are still interested in playing on this day, some of us will probably meet and play in a more informal format (just get a couple of tee times, pay for greens fees individually and meet for drinks, perhaps dinner afterward).

Let me know if you are interested.

1. We would like this tournament to be an annual event for the Board. Two years ago those who participated had a wonderful time. It is a great chance to meet each other and socialize. Two years ago we had 40-50 people. That was nice but we would like to get 100 people this year. We would like to see this tournament be on-going. For that to happen we need your participation.
2. Interest, commitment, and volunteers are really needed. Suggestions always welcome. Contact myself or Tomcat

I hope this gets alot of action. Could be a real fun time.

 

[Marsh01]

Wish I could make it. I fly back from California that day and wont be able to attend.

 

[OrangeTown]

Pretty sure I'm going to be in for this. It'll be my first syracusefan event and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of people.

It'll be even more awesome now that Marsh isn't going.

douche!

 

[storange]

might have a team

 

[jgeorge322]

Damn. Thats the same weekend as member guest.

 

[storange]

What if we stink at golf?

you are then like 90% of the golfers in the world including myself

 

[SkanSU]

Hey everybody ...don't forget. If you don't have 4 people for a team do not worry. We will back fill from singles. And for those who want to enter and don't have any friends (Igor) don't worry we will get you on a team.

 

[cto]

We had one of these about 12 years ago for a charity run by Boca Doug (who, sadly, is since deceased). I suspect if Doug were still with us, there would have been a lot more of them.

Based on that one, here are some random thoughts.

1) Encourage people to sign up as individuals. Many folks don't know enough other golfers here to establish a foursome. Then just create foursomes based on handicaps. (If people WANT to sign up as a foursome, that's fine, but it should not be the primary focus of trying to get people to sign up).

2) Don't be deterred if you consider yourself a "bad" golfer. With only a few exceptions, practically everyone here is a bad golfer. Besides, it's a scramble. You don't have to play your "mistakes."

3) Don't be deterred if you are a woman. At least three women played in Doug's event, and it worked out fine because it is a scramble. Women may not be as long off the tee as men, but they get to play the red tees... and they frequently have good short games. We actually had two women in our foursome... and I think we finished somewhere in the middle of the pack.

4) I saw no mention of a beer cart in your write-up. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall that a beer cart is somewhat essential with this group.

5) Your sign-up process should ask for both real names and forum handles. It is the only way you're going to be able to sort people out. A list of only "real" names will give you no clue as to who people are

 

[SkanSU]

Thanks CTO... the beer cart is automatic on the course. Yes and of course we want singles more than teams. Some people of course dont have handicaps but that can be worked out. Its great to meet people by joining them on a team. So everyone out there ... don't be deterred if you cant put a team together. Personally right now I dont have a team so Im looking forward to getting matched up as well. And my handicap? Golf. We will make teams. The Ladies are especially invited!! As I recall there weren't many at our last outing. We had one on our team. Remember, most of all this isnt one of those cut throat tournaments. Its meant to meet people... and most of all have fun. We are working on some guests as well. So just sign up solo and if you get some others to play we'll add them. Just plan on having a good time.

Has anyone ever thought about tagging this event as the "Boca Memorial" or something similar?

I like it " Boca Doug Memorial Golf Tournament" maybe have a percentage of the $$$ go to GOALS. ( I think that was the Org. that Doug supported )

 

[Jamesvillecuse]

I love to supplement my income with golf winnings how much cash is available to win? Lol

Another person on welfare. Oh Lord

 

[edowd26]

Yea, I'm in for this... Looking forward to it

 

[SkanSU]

Im sorry everybody. But the tournament has to be cancelled. They wanted $500 to hold the date. I got sick. I have a whole bunch of reasons. But simply we no longer have a date unless DCcuse would like to follow up. As for me my golf season is over...not that that would have prevented me from following up on the tourny. Things just went south. If you sent me a check (2 of you) I will be returning it to you sorry again.

Hope you feel better soon. It was so nice of you to head this up and sorry it didn't work out. Most important though is getting well.
