Competitive Knowledge for Manufacturing People

August 14, 2006

Hi [[firstname]],

How often do we draw a conclusion without all the 
facts? It's not necessary and sometimes a disaster 
to wait for all the details and data before we 
take a decision. Learning to derive the critical 
balance is crucial to effective decision making. 

Let's take another break from our day-to-day routine 
and enjoy another story, "Make Sure You Know What You 
See." 

Have a nice day, keep the faith, and stay connected.

The Buick Open

Prior to the Buick Open golf tournament at Torrey 
Pines Golf Club in San Diego, CA this year, they held 
some of the qualifying rounds at my golf club in 
Oceanside. My wife and I were watching the golfers 
tee-off from the 1st tee and were amazed at how far 
these guys could drive the ball. 

One of the players was about to address the ball on 
the first tee when the starter's voice came over the 
loud speaker and said, "Attention! The golfer on the 
first tee, please move your ball back to the blue 
markers. " 

The golfer looked back at the clubhouse, shrugged and 
re-addressed his ball. 

"Attention, the golfer on the first tee in the red 
hat, if you don't mind we are playing the blue tees 
today not the whites, please move back to the blue 
markers." 

The golfer waved at the clubhouse and re-addressed his 
ball. 

This time the starter yelled, "Will someone tell the 
guy in the red cap to move back or he will be 
disqualified." 

About that time the golfer screamed back at the 
clubhouse, "Will someone tell that idiot that this is 
my second shot!"
