Forum: Local Stuff

I think it would be fun to play a tournament with my son. Any dates/locations closed to Ottawa.

I live in Montreal, my friend lives in Toronto and we're trying to find a course somewhere in between that we could meet up at and play, anyone have suggestions? Price is not an issue, its the last time we'll be able to play together this year so we want to go all out :) thanks

Played Anderson Links yesterday and joined a very nice family of three, Mom, Dad, and the young son who hit it a mile, even into the wind. We were walking on a very busy, and very hot day. Well the four morons in carts behind us were in a great hurry and kept hitting balls into us all day. This...

Did anyone out there from this area apply for Big Break II ?

I guess they will have to move some holes: http://www.condoschateaucartier.com/

Mike Raganold here, owner of Ottawa Golf I am looking for 12 more players who love to golf and would find fun and entertainment shooting for over $200,000 in cash and prizes - amateurs only - no pros. Join me for the OttawaGolf.com Big Money Shootout Sept 26 at Pine View. Just for fun, I...

Hey Dan, yesterday i was getting a big red screen on my laptop telling me that the forum was under attack. All good this morning. What was that all about and am i the only one this happened to? Thanks

Anyone ever use a bike with a club trailer locally? In hopes of getting fit, I thought I could bike to course - play a round - bike home. I have an old child trailer that I thought would convert nicely to a club trailer. Is this crazy?

http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=ff614eb8-02cc-41a3-a42d-30642def1421&k=62840 There are others confirming. Anyone up for a game at the Marshes ;)

I was speaking to a member of another golf registration club the other day. He advised that their system is set up so that when they book for themselves and other members the club debits each member's account, rather than the booking member. With RM the booking member is charged. Would you...

I am playing there soon and have never played it any one have any suggestions. Thanks.

Hey all, I definitely don't want to start an open thread about where to play golf around Toronto. But, I am travelling for work in a few weeks and am going to play a round at either Black Diamond or Oakridge. Has anyone played both, either? Trying to decide between the two. Thanks in...

Has anybody played Blackbear Ridge in the last year? How was it? I'm hoping to play a round with the Pro there on the 28 th. Would appreciate any tips and such, don't want to get beat too bad:fight:

Played Hammond this afternoon and had a great time. The course was in great condition. Tee boxes all grass and cut--fairways all cut and lots of patching that has taken well and absolutly no winterkill on the greens---unbelievable. The greens were on the slow side but better be safe than sorry. ...

And it's a pretty full noggin at that. :-) Just droppin' a dime for my buddy Scott MacLeod over at Flagstick. As many of you know, Scott is the Managing Editor of Flagstick Golf Magazine, and now he's putting his thoughts on e-paper every week at the Flagstick Editor's Desk blog,...

I was driving through Bells Corners yesterday and saw they had a sign up saying Going out of Business Sale, up to 75% off. Has anybody been there yet? If so, how are the deals? Thanks.

Who is Bobby Wilson? Heard an add on the radio today. He's going to be on Kevin haime's radio show tomorrow and will apparently reveal his long drive secrets.

I have booked a tee time for Sunday April 29th, but it still says pending. It has been pending for 10 plus minutes. It never takes this long. I called the course they said it has not gone thru yet, call RM.

Is this system down? Been trying to book on-line since 1000 hrs and no response. Refresh button used, but no "accepted" shows... Frost in the lines?:scratchch

Looking to book but see both courses are blanked out. No zeros, but blank as if they were not open yet or closed. What's up? Glitch or something more interesting?

Book tee-times is not working Server Error in '/' Application.<hr color="silver" SIZE="1" width="100%"> The log file for database 'resmaster2004' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the...

Is it just me or are others finding it difficult to book mid-day tee times for EQ. I have tried for 2 weeks now and if you want a game---6:00 in the morning or 5:00 at night works :( Now if they ARE that busy etc it shows only one thing. The course management company is doing a great job in...

I'm not sure what category this should be in but will start with "local stuff". Tried the "Book a Tee Time" link today. It doesn't work. Is OttawaGolf no longer going to support this? Or just a temporary issue? I thought it was called ReservationsMasters before or VisualGolf.

I know this is a stretch, but I'm wondering if anybody has a 2 ball putter I can borrow for the weekend or at least pick up today and return Sunday morning. I would be willing to pay a deposit on it, the current value of the putter, if need be. Thanks

Probably a long shot, I know. Does anyone have a GPS I can borrow next weekend? Pick up Thursday or Friday and return Wednesday or Thursday?

Heading to Newfoundland the week of July 28 returning August 11. Looking for a decent travel bag for this one time trip and don't really want to buy one. Does anyone have one they could lend me? I could offer a dozen Taylor Made Penta TP3 as payment.

It's a long shot I know. I'm looking to borrow an iron or two to try. Currently I have a set with the awt shafts. I have a spare set of project x 5.5 shafts I am thinking of putting in but having never played them I'm looking to try before investing the money in the shaft swap. I may have to change...

Does anyone have a box (or know where I could get one) that is suitable to ship an iron set?

At golftown today, I bought a Callaway Razr hawk driver (demo club) for $100. Anyone else find good deals?

Golftown east was crazy this am, TM M6 and Project balls were in everybody's hands.

As a friend said 34 humidex 40 feels like in between OMG and WTF. So I decided to take a cart at the Canadian, 50% off power cart today and tomorrow and I plugged a pedometer to my belt. So ... guess how many steps I took in the round ...

Good article on a local guy (Manotick) who qualified MOnday for the Nationwide Tour's Samsung Canadian PGA Championship. He's tied for second after one round, hopefully he can put together another 3 rounds. Stay tuned. http://www.canoe.com/NewsStand/TorontoSun/Sports/2003/07/04/126492.html

Local hopeful Brad Fritsch of Manotick has completed 2 rounds of the 4 round second stage of PGA Tour Q-School. He is currently T54 at +2. Which puts him 4 shots outside of the top 20. His flight is playing at Deerwood GC in Kingswood TX, where the top 21 and ties will advance to the final...

I’m going to be on Breakfast @ THE NEW RO show on Thursday morning (June 13) to discuss OttawaGolf with the host Kurt Stoodley. I am supposed to be on at around 6:50. Tune in if you can. :bigcheek

We had a nice day today at the Royal Ottawa .My wife (logan69) won 2 passes to the Breakfast with Morgan Pressel and golf cliniic sponsored by Callaway .The contest they had on MyCallaway.ca website. We each had are picture taken with Morgan Pressel and after the breakfast and golf clinic was over...

Dear Golfers Come out and spend a day of golf and fun with past, present, and future NHL players along with your host Brian Kilrea at the Second Annual Brian Kilrea Help Kids Golf Classic. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>...

I know Im far from golf but as I was passing in front of CJOH today I could'n remember how long the killer took for that crime :mad; .Is he still in jail? Who knows with today's justice...He may be out already.

Anybody else going? I have an appointment at 11:45. Be interested to see if they solely recommend the B330 series or if they'll offer some of the other balls as well. I will report back later after I shank a few into the next county.

They are touring once again this year to different courses in the area and at your local GT stores,mostly in early June. Apparently they will be able to fit left handers this year. I have sent them an email for confirmation of this and when I get the answer I will edit this thread.:thumbsup

Bridgestone free golf ball fitting-June 19th At The golfworks on Industrial You got to sign up though. Unfortunately they are not set up for lefties.

I stood on the 18th tee today of our 36 hole club championship, tied with a fellow member at 1 under par for the tournament. After a long drive he hit his second shot on the par 5 less than 12" from the back left pin position and tapped in for an eagle 3. Under the circumstances it was one of the...

Just a quick question about bringing your kids with you to the golf course. Do courses typically allow you to bring your kids onto the course for free? I'd like to bring my 8 and 5 year olds with me a few times but I'd think twice if I have to pay two extra green fees. Obviously I would go when...

I’m thinking of bringing my 6 and 9 year old boys with me when I take my dad golfing for Father’s Day. I’d like to tee off early in the morning on the weekend and I’m planning on going to a course that is less busy than most. Anyone do this before? I’ve gone late afternoon when it’s dead and free...

My first OVGA Junior Tournament this year is going to be held here. Just looking for some insight on how the course plays, and if there's anything I should keep my eye out for :-). Thanks Guys, Craig. :cool

Played this for the first time today, what a fun course! I'll admit that the routing can be a bit screwy, and there's a couple of really odd holes (#2 especially), but on the whole it's a great old course and we really enjoyed it. The conditioning is excellent and the greens were in fantastic...

Just got back from BCC best shape of any course played this year greens were lightning quick
