STN golfing in Tokyo
On 29th August 2003 at Hakusui Golf Club 2 hours away from Tokyo, a few former STN ExScite’s met for a friendly game. Since golf is a serious business, in particular in Japan, the group decided to establish the “Response Match“, an Ex-Nihon-Scitex Golf Competition, which will take place once a year. The 1st Response Match’s winner was Shiga-san !!, no wonder his smile is the widest… The digital picture was sent to us by Shin-ichi Sugiyama, who since leaving Nihon Scitex provides digital imaging consulting services in Japan. He commented that “all the participants were happy although we are all getting a bit older“.
