Hey Everyone, Haven't been on in a bit. Have a Q/opinions. How is Glenmar to play??? A few of us are looking at joining there but want to make sure it is worth it. Your feedback would be more than appreciated. Regards, The Shack!

Anyone have an idea of where I can get information of the men's nights/leagues around town? The only one I could find was at the Canadian. Thanks

Anyone go here often? I'm curious what people think of it. My thoughts are to start getting some kinks out of my swing before spring starts. How does the whole thing work? Do you just show up clubs in hand between 8am-4pm any week day clubs in hand and start hitting balls? How much travel do the...

Heard the latest news (from a reliable source) ... regarding the Gatineau make over .. it will be ready for this season. One fact that I'm not happy about is it will be Cart Only ...Cost will be around 100.00 to play ! .. .. Which I'm having a real hard time believing with the decline of 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?

Just wondering if anybody attempts to qualify for this tourney. If so, do you have information about when and where the closest qualifier is for it, I think its May 10th.

I won't pretend to be an expert in this area at all, but I wanted to post this in the hope that some of you may have some knowledge about the following (green keepers, science/weather experts, etc...). I remember many of the local courses last year having had a horrible winter and thus where...

Not sure how many knew Terry Firman. I think he was a member on the board, however I cannot remember his nickname. He peacefully passed away on Wednesday Feb 3rd after a brief illness. The online obituary can be found here -...

Had a look at the Pineview facility today and it looked a bit spartan. Only two stations and not much atmosphere. I played the Merivale site many years ago and as I remember, it had much more to offer. I understand that there is virtual golf now at Outaouais. Any recommendations ?

Was at Golfworks today, and they were clearing these out in red and blue for $2.40 / grip. They also had them in midsize and the same grip with cord in it for a bit more.

Dan, Anything in the works?

Has anyone heard anything about the tournament? I heard in Golftown that it will be axed this year.......... but probably just rumors.

:) :-) YAHOO !!!--Spring must be just around the corner !!! Just got my 2010 EG Card in the mail---15 days to go :-)

Hi, Not sure how many people this affects. but..... Golf HD was part of the HD Speciality Pack with Rogers. In the past you needed to subscribe to at least the VIP package and then the HD Specialty Pack. For guys like me with just basic cable, I couldn't get the Golf Channel before...

Did anyone go and spend some of their Christmas cash and pick up anything nice? I went and picked up that Ogio Ozone golf bag. Wasn't planning on picking it up, but for the price and walking by it. It caught my eye and I had to get it. Was also meaning to pick up a pair of the adidas 360's....

I am just wonering if anyone knows more about this course beyond the limited information provided on their website: http://www.equinelle.ca/golf.html It says it opens in a couple weeks, yet there's no mention of rates, membership fees, etc. It's 15-20 minutes from my house, and looks...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be taking over the teaching duties at the Superdome (Bearbrook Rd.) starting December 1st, details and lesson rates should be posted on their website by the end of the week. Thanks to all of you that have trusted me with your golf swing over the years,...

Does anyone know if, where and when will Guy Beaulieu golf winter range and school open this season? TY Mike

got an email about this coming to Kanata in Spring 2010 www.parmastersgolf.com

I was just online checking out membership options for next season and noticed that Stonebridge is putting out several different options for green fees and have also lowered their prices. They have brought back their 12 game booklets, have a discount card, nine and dine, adult plus a junior package,...

Late season golf is fantastic.:-) I played Greensmere twice this weekend (finishing on Saturday in great conditions just before the rain) both rounds under 4 hours. And even better, I tied my Personal best (89) on Saturday and beat it (88) yesterday! My wife played her PB on Saturday...

Considering joining Falconridge. Any opinions? Tee time availability club events do things really back up at that #10...dang that's tight how would you rate it friendly? Any insight would be appreciated.

Anyone play anywhere recently that is still in decent shape in terms of greens/fairways? Thanks!

Closed for the season. Maple View still open.

Anyone been to Kevin Haime's lately to find the scoop on what his winter drivinig range will consist of? I haven't driven by, but I assume its hitting into nets, and he's not paying kids to go find little white balls in the snow on the range?

Hey Whitetail is still open and playing great, as my playing partner DON McKAY Snr ( from Twin Rivers Petawawa) had a HOLE IN ONE on the 8th hole today ( Friday 13th Nov 09). Hope the weather holds for some more great late fall golf. As a note this is his 5th Ace.

Played today and course is in great condition for this time of year.Price is good too(30.00) They plan to stay open till weekend and depending on weather maybe next week.Going back tomorow and friday.:)

:bigcheek:bigcheek:bigcheek Got out to play today---hope a lot of you did---great day good friends --what else do you need? Oh Yeah, shot an 88 :-)

Just played this morning and was told it was the last day. Too bad because even with the punched greens its in good shape.Not too many left open.

hey guys, anyone know of any late season deals starting around now for weekend and/or twlight pricing? i play mainly at kingsway on sat and sun nights after 4:30. it's only 12.50 a round and 5 minutes from my house, so how can I pass that up? but this late in the year it's getting hard to...

Playing tomorrow morning and the google directions don't make sense to me as I have played there once before and i'm pretty sure we hopped on the 7 off of the 417 and passed the Canadian. Can anyone hook me up with proper directions? Thanks.

Anybody taking lessons/range memberships during the winter? Any recommendations? -OAC: $550 ish -Kevin Haime's at the Bell Sensplex: $550 ish -Marc Lacombe at Golftown: $ ? -Danielle Nadon: $ ? -Warren Grant; Superdome at Ben Franklin Park: $350 ish

Best 25.00 green fee by far.No leaves to talk about,nice greens,great fairways.:)

Anyone play lately? Thinking about getting out this weekend.

So i have this question....lets say you are driving past a golf course and a ball hits your car...who or what are the responsabilities involved. My own personal experience was that i was driving on alert road by hylands and my car was hit by a ball...i pulled over by the tee box..it was next to...

The Arnprior Golf Club is holding it's annual Club Championship this weekend, August 15 and 16. I always enjoy the challenge and tougher conditions that this weekend seems to bring. Anyone else having their's this weekend?

anyone play this recently? i've never played it before.. it is a par 72 course right? is it any good?

Plyed today and even with the fall specials right now, the greens had been punched, top dressed but not brushed down. A lot of goose crap all over,more than usual.I would give it a few days before they clean things up.

Went out Pineview to take advantage of my day off, and some nice weather! Front nine consisted of 6 over with one triple bogey. After going bogey bogey on 6 & 7, I said to myself "I need to par 8 & 9", and proceeded to do just that. Back went great with par's up to 14 where I chipped in from...

Anyone have dates and details for up-coming cash scrambles?

Went over to the little golf course just out of Carleton Place - called Beckwith Golf. Definitely not a premier course, sorta like an executive course- longest hole is 350 yards or so - 3 par 3s.. Anway paid $15.00 - guy said it's kinda cold but not a bad day - I said ya - I'll be probably be...

Does anyone know if he turned pro this fall? Just wondering, looks like the 3/4 guys on the quebec order of merrit this year all turned professional. Maybe 4/5 if Matthew has. http://www.golfquebec.org/index.asp?id=829

It's that time of year again.:( The Fall Specials Closings page is now up.
