For those OGers who love these balls they are on sale for $10.00 at Canadian Tire this week.:thumbsup :thumbsup

This is my first post so here goes...given that I will soon be moving back to Ottawa, I was wondering what courses I should pencil in as "must play courses". In putting together a ranking of your top 5 choices, consideration should be given to course availability, value for your money, and just...

In your opinion which course do you think is the best out of : Outaoais, Rideau View, Camelot and Kanata Lakes. I'm playing intersectionals at these courses and I'd like to know more about these courses. Maybe list off a view interesting holes on each course as well. Thanks

This should be interesting :-) I am really getting confused by the weather reporting lately----4 different local predictions and they are all different :eek: Who do you think is the most accurate--or do you go to the satellite/radar and do your own predicting ? :-)

After a summer of being unemployed (and lots of golf! :-)) I am optimistic I may have finally secured a new job. As such, I've been thinking a lot about the courses that I really enjoyed playing last year or that I wanted to try this year, and have yet to visit this year due to financial...

Today, I visited a range on the East end (the one on Ines road) for the first time and it was sad... no only my golf was t-e-r-r-r-i-b-l-e but the balls and mats are due for replacement badly. Is that always the case there? I practice mostly at 19th and I always taught that it was the lower end...

Quite a jolt seeing all the snow that came down last night. They say that it will all go away today, tomorow, at the latest.Hope to get out one more time, at least.:(:(

Does anyone know why Yanni Tseng was wearing the large bandaid on her right arm during the CN Canadian Open at the Hunt Club? I was wondering if she had an injury that may have effected her play on Sunday.

Played Casselview for the first time this year. Had a great day out. Thumbs up to the pace of play, the courteous and friendly staff, and the overall condition of the course. Massive thumbs down though to some of the courses clients who seem to feel it's an entirely acceptable practice to leave...

Well, let's hope the weather man is wrong.

My wife and I have been very fortunate to play some great courses in our area and Mt-Tremblant but in my own humble opinion,this is the greatest course i have ever played.Pristine conditions,beautifull lush fairways and greens almost perfect.Cant say enough about the layout and condition of this...

Wondering what the proper etiquette is in this instance... I was golfing this past Saturday with Nat and we were joined up with an elderly gentlemen in a golf cart for the 18 holes. During the round Nat I and were constantly being delayed because this fellow kept skirting both sides of each...

Me and a couple guys were talking on Monday after our round at Outaouais, and we all wondered if Ottawa area courses were to join together with a reciprocal type of approach that if your a member at any course in Ottawa (let's say that belongs to OVGA) you would have access to all courses within...

Since we where talking about Pineview number one hole, i decided to ask what your opinion of the worst starting hole in the region. My vote is my old stomping grounds Buckingham. I hate the first hole with a passion, O.B. left side, you never have a good lie, its short but very narrow when hitting...

Is the cold weather and the snow making me think I just wasted 4 hours watching the worst Masters in recent memory or was it really that bad???

Ya had to know this one was coming! :-) What do you consider to be the worst hole to play in the Region?

Hey, Anyone on here play World Golf Tour? http://wgt.com/home.aspx If you do, add me as a friend - scooby103 I've also started a country club on the site, looking to get some local players to play together. Might be fun for some over the upcoming winter months. It's free to play,...

Hi all, my current job is a seasonal job and I was wondering if anyone knew of any golf courses looking to hire for next season. I have never worked at a golf course before but figured it might be a great thing to do!

Living is Orleans, Pineview is the least expensive and most convinient course to play. Anyways, on my drive by, I've notice that a couple of the holes seem to be dug up. Any word on what changes are being made?

Looking good for next week. Pretty soon people will start complaining about the heat, I say bring it!

7 over after 17, pretty sure that's a personal best. After a safe drive on the 18th in the dark I hit my second way off line into the parking lot, made a 7 :(, doesn't matter, given it was 10 degrees today I'm pretty happy. Nice way to end the year.

I was reading an article today in the Citizen about putters made from wood. Has anyone tried wooden putters and do any golf stores in Ottawa sell them?

Here are some from today :) Mainly Lorena and Annika. http://gallery.me.com/little_mo#100253

Not sure if this belongs in local or general since people may travel, so please move it as you see fit. Anyone here considering volunteering next year? I looked at the webpage and it sounds like it might be kind of cool if you get one of the better jobs. I'm assuming that "serious" golfers...

My gf wants to join a league this year, she's in her late 20's and would like to play with similar aged people. I believe there is GAL and CWGI, but what are the typical ages of the members? Are there other options?

I'm cadding for a lady in the Ottawa Citizen tournament and the first round is at Stonebridge. We tee off on #10. My question is, does anybody know if #10 is either #1 East or #1 West? Thanks,

Has anyone played this year, and if so how are conditions. Thanks

Has anyone played there in the last month? Just curious on its condition? Thinking of heading up but want to be sure on its condition.... Thx

Has anyone played this course near killaloe..seems it could be worth a try.

I am new to golf this year and I was thinking about getting some lessons/hitting some balls over the winter. However, I am not certain what the best option/value would be. Any input you can provide would be appreciated. I am located near the Hunt Club/Merivale area and would prefer to minimize...

Hi all, I played at Pineview on Sunday. The second last simulator on the right had a pronounced rut in the carpet at the tee, and a bump on the putting carpet in line with the hole. My driver swing speed was 115 Mph, with a 284 yard drive... not likely, when I mentioned this to a friend who'd...

Did anyone else get out and play in that crazy wind yesterday? Played my annual MTO tourney yesterday. And for those that know me, I never find the left side of the golf course, but the wind was so strong, many of my tee shots ended up down the left side or in the left rough. :-) Did anyone...

WOW! Just got back from Falcon Ridge, man was it WINDY!!! Anybody else have windy conditions out there? It was at least 3 clubs more today! But better than golf in December here :)

I hope noone is golfing today, it's been a while since I've seen wind that strong! It's hard to stand still even...
