I'm hoping to defend my 2010 C Class title this year... anybody else going? What class? I wish we could play that course more often! BullDog

did a search and not much discussion about driving ranges. Capital Golf is very poorly maintained, but very cheap if you get a membership. $100 for season and large buckets are only 3$. Conley Rd Driving Range i heard is beautiful, but 30 km's from me in Nepean. 19th tee has no...

I told my wife it was an eartquake, but she didn't believe me until they just reported it on the TV. :hyper:

Champlain December 3rd 2017 with a 'deer' friend in the background:-)

Just got a tweet that Haime's is plowing the range and hoping that by weeks end they will be open for business!

Played 2 rounds last weekend and really would have liked to have driven on the second one as I was hurting badly (getting old) from the first round but Calabogie wasn't allowing Power Carts on the 18. My question is does anyone know if there are any Courses that are allowing Power Carts now? ...

Hi everyone, I am a lucky man and I get to have 10 weeks off work this summer. So since I really like golf, I will put in all my time into getting better. I am currently roughly a 23 handicapper. So I was looking for people's opinions on teachers in Ottawa. Perhaps you can post who you...

Clublinks memberships?????????? Something does not compute in that little brain of mine. Why would you join Eagle creek at $13,500 while you can join HP for 1/2 the price and have full access with no extra fees to Eagle Creek, Kanata lakes, Greyhawk etc...?:scratchch

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?

One of the most important and meaningful items in my life went missing, or got stolen yesterday! When going for a little practice at Keven Hamies Golf Centre, I left my bag over by the range area as I went to practice some chipping and putting. I took my two wedges and my putter with me.. and...

I heard that a new indoor multi golf complex is in the works. This site will boast a 50 acre, COVERED, dome-style facility. There will be a nine hole par three course, 5000 square foot practice green, REAL sand, and a 300 yard driving range! WOW

Okay, let's get some predictions here. Geoff stealing clubs? Thotho's group getting toppled by a tree that a woodpecker and beaver conspired to take down? Ironmaster realizing he's not in Pennsylvania anymore when he drinks a 5.5% beer? DH changing his name to a symbol? Dan slapping banned...

2014 season members were never given the opportunity to renew for 2015. No renewal applications were mailed out as in the past. Has anyone heard what is going to happen at Champlain this coming season? Thanks

Any thoughts on the course? They have a cheapish intermediate membership. 8 mins from my work for $1035 tax in.

I used to have a velcro strap thingy that goes around the forearm to help with golfer's elbow and can't remember where I bought it. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Thanks.

Anyone know when they plan on opening?

I was wondering what the membership is like at the Outaouais Golf course. Is is weird with it being a semi-private? Are there many tournaments? Weekly? Monthly? Are there many members or is it mostly the public that fill the tee times. How is the members atmosphere? I dont really have the...
