I am a 15-year old junior member with a five handicap at Rivermead. I am looking for an opportunity to caddie at the Ottawa Citizen Tournament on Monday for one of the contending players. My knowledge of the course may be beneficial to someone who doesn't know Rivermead very well.

Does anyone know what 9's on Greensmere are going to be played for the A class (maybe Lyle)? I'd like to get a practice round in (one of the few in the area I haven't played). I know it's early but I'm eager to get out and play.

I have a tournament there tomorrow but I've never played the course. Is there anything I should watch out for that I can't see on the tee? Any advice would be appreciated.

Should be a lot better than hitting balls at Innes Road. :)

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???

My 12 year old wants to play golf and I am looking for a decent and decently priced golf camp or school to send him to. And if he he likes I would want to put him into a Jr golf league for beginners. Thanks

I was looking for a new set of irons and decided on the Cobra Ssi but I have rescue clubs to replace my 3 and 4 iron and a special PW. So I was trying to justify purchasing a full set(3 - PW) and only using 5 of the clubs until I saw a Cobra club fitting system at the Canadian gc Pro Shop. You...

Just to let you know that Chuck Brown's is having a 2 for 1 grip deal. For Winn grips its only 25% off. Good price if they have the grips you want. I think this offer is good until their big sale Feb 5. Fore!

Anyone play Metcalf yet? Just wondering what the conditions were like...I'm playing there Sunday. Thanks.

Just played Le Sorcier for the first time and really enjoyed it. Beautiful course and great condition. I had a great round that should lower my handicap but I guess the slope/rating has not been determined. I would think the slope would be in the mid 120's...what do you guys think?

Just wanted everyone to know before they waste a trip out there like i did.

Just saw this in today's paper...Tommy & Lefebvre is having their annual golf sale at the Lancaster warehouse location starting tomorrow at noon. I was there last year and didn't think the deals were that great. Just thought I would pass this info along.

I work in Hull and attended a seminar in Kanata today located next to the Brookstreet hotel. The room was over looking the Marshes golf course. I've never played it before but i want to now. I found it hard to concentrate on the instructor cause I kept staring at the golf course...I don't know...

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?

Just noticed in today's Canadian Tire flyer...7x7' hitting net on sale for $56. Don't know if that is a good price but thought I would pass it along.

Unfortunately, I had to cancel my spot for Meadows tomorrow(July 16). Since Meadows spots are sometimes hard to get...just wanted to let you know that there is a spot available in the Ottawa Golf Reservation Masters club.

I was thinking about stamping or engraving the initials of a friend of mine on a wedge I plan on getting him for his birthday. I've noticed some of the pros gets this done on their wedges...kind of cool. Does anyone know of a place that will do a good job. Thanks.

While coming back from the Canadian yesterday, I noticed the begining of the expansion of Hwy 7 to 4 lanes. Does anyone know if the Canadian gc will be affected?

Hey Dan - any update on new courses added to the Ottawa golf membership for this season? You mentioned last fall that there will be a couple new courses especially in the west end.

Has anyone played the Canadian this year? I'm playing there tomorrow and just wondering what the conditions were like. Thanks.

Did anyone else play Vieux Moulin this afternoon? Had a tee time of 3:04pm and thought that would be plenty of time to finish before the sunset...I was wrong. It took 3 hours to play the first 9 holes. :thumbsdow I quit after that. There must of been a tournament before but not sure and no...

Anyone play Stonebridge recently? I'm playing tomorrow and was wondering about the conditions of the greens.
