this is a question/commentary. I've had a few painfully slow rounds lately, including today where it took 2:45 for 9 at Champlain. We were keeping up to the group ahead of us, and they were as well. Not sure how far ahead the jam was. I walked off after 9 due to frustration. It seems that some...

For me with CG, it says its 38.00$ with cart. For non members it ssays its 55.00$ is that with cart or without? What kind of shape is it in I want to play there this weekend before a tournament next Friday as I've never been. Advise and answers. Thanks,

Does this headline in the Sun today remind anybody of someone??? Maybe it's a nickname for a Driver (or a husband)? :-):meditate::-):meditate:

Anyone been to the sale yet. Are there lots of good bargains. In particular I am looking for full sets of irons or any woods (Callaway women's). Just don't want to drive that far if it not a good sale.

My wife and I are visiting Ottawa for a meeting next week. We're arriving on Tuesday night, the 23rd and we would like to play somewhere on Wednesday morning. We'll be staying at the meeting site, the Chateau Laurier. Can you suggest any courses that are close enough to take a taxi to, or even use...

A couple of friends are flying into Ottawa for a visit. I moved to Ottawa recently, but haven't played much golf here. I need to book 3 rounds, and need some advice... - They both shoot in the mid to high 70's. - They prefer traditional layouts that allow driver off the tee (250-300 yards)...

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

Just wondering who many members on this site are Outaouais members.

Anyone know of any coupons or deals for the courses? Heading there the 1st week of October. Thanks, Gerry

So i'm looking for some ideas when it comes to club fitting. I was at GT tonight swinging an iron that I saw listed on here to see if I like it or non (cally x-tour ...was told that its way less forgiving than my current pro-combos') I was recommended to try x-20's instead....... I felt like I...

Did anyone else play today? I braved the forecast and teed off at 9:30. Light rain for the first hole and a bit and then nothing. The sun even came out for a few minutes. But holy cow was it muggy. Thank god it was cloudy or I would have been a puddle in my shoes. When I finished my round the...

I just got back from Kevin haimes , and they are having their clearance event this weekend. There appears to be some decent deals :thumbsup, on average about 10-20% less than GT retail on new equipment.Plus demo equipment at even less. Drivers,woods,irons,wedges,putters and bags. And of course...

Has anyone played Glen Mar recently? We are playing on Sunday. They told me their greens have not been punched yet (good) and the conditions are usually really good whenever we play. Hopefully that is still the case.

How are the conditions @ Cedarhill ? Playing later today would like to know what to expect, thanks.

Good morning everyone :) Just wanted to share my smile with everyone. Event: Save the Children Canada - Charity Golf Tournament @ Falcon Ridge We were the first group to arrive @ the 14th hole for the contest "Closest to the pin" My buddy ended up in the water & my shot ended close...

I am moving to the west end of the city and was thinking this may be a course worth joining next year. I like to walk... but find the distances between holes on the new 9 very long. Do you have a choice on which 9s you play or are you stuck with what they put you on? Drew

Aeration Schedule for greens - Monday September 29th, South course. - Tuesday September 30th, West course. - Wednesday October 1st, East course

Hello, I am planning on playing Calabogie this Sunday. It has been a number of years since I played there, is it walkable or do you usually use carts? For reference, I find Loch Marsh, Stonebridge, & Pakenham easy to walk. Thanks, Dave

I was wondering if many clubs in the Ottawa area play InterClub competitions. I am a member at the Arnprior Golf Club, and this weekend I'm playing in 2 Interclubs. The Fraser Cup is contested annually with teams of 12 players from Twin Rivers of Petawawa Golf Club, Pembroke Golf Club , Island...

At the risk of being shutdown by the forum censors i have to tell you I was very disappointed with my experience at anderson Links recently. A buddy of mine and i were thinking of a getting a round in at the end of the day and chose anderson for its proximity. i called the course in advance to...

Anyone played here recently that can give me a rundown on the conditions. Also, do they still do the half cart for the back 9 only? If so how much does that cost per person these days?

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...

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...

Hi, Do you know how many balls are in their(Anderson Links, Kevin Haime, Capital, 19th Tee, and etc.) large buckets? :meditate: And, 2 for 1 coupon on my hand is outdated by August, do you have any idea?

Do you guys know if the place is closed or going to re-open ? Their website is down, voice mail full...

Hey there golfers, I am heading up to Smugglers Glen the last weekend of Sept. and I would like to play a course on the way up. A guy at Smugglers Glen recommended playing Brockville. But I am not sure which course as there are two, Brockville Highlands and Brockville Country club. Any idea's...

Anyone playing in the b or c class Saturday at the Cornwall Country Club 8am tee time for me

I figured with my CC coming up this weekend I'd start a thread for everyone to post their own CC experiences in. Does anyone else have their CC this weekend? I'm looking forward to it this year. Another year of competitive golf under my belt can only help to make the mental side stronger. I am...

I'm in the market for a new driver however I still have no clue which one to get. Is there a driving range in Ottawa (west) where I can take out a few drives in order to try them out?

Havn't played Buckingham in 3 years but played today. It sure is nice to see work being carried out on a course---improvements all over the place. :) Can't wait till they build a bridge---oh well next lifetime :-) I can see why Marcos got a membership :)

Anyone know what courses are in the rotation this year?

I will be playing at Pembroke Shores in an interclub tournament September 7th. I haven't played this course since 1982, and was wondering if anyone has course details, scorecard etc to share with me. It's all important, as I will have a side bet with Sakuraba (a cold pint to the winner!) pending...

I know a little late but I took off to Vegas for a much needed last minute vacation!!! Enjoy !! http://silentreflectionsphotography.webs.com/apps/photos/album.jsp?albumID=2170398

Can anyone comment on the length of the holes at the Marchwood golf course... the one at the Marshes. I'm going to be playing it in the next few days and I want to know what to expect and what clubs to remove from the bag. Thanks.

Did anyone happen to photograph the Christie Kerr group during the Wednesday ProAm? I was the standard bearer for the group and would like a souvenir. Thanks.

I'm considering taking a few lessons before the end of the season and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an instructor. My index is around 4 right now so I'm not looking for introductory lessons. My primary goal is to improve my full swing. I'm not looking to do a major...

Has anyone played Cedarhill this year? How was the experience, and have they started on their construction of new holes yet?

Tried to book on line for monday at hammond. Says to call a number to get tee times. Number dialed goes to Mississippi G&CC. What am I missing?

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

Hey All, I'm not seeing much improvement in my game and am thinking of taking lessons. Was wondering if anyone here has taken lessons @ Meadows, and if so what your experiences were...? Thanks Latch

I would be interested in hearing details about the agreement between Corporate Golf and The Marshes golf course regarding available spots during the week. This is the second week in which there have been 8 spots listed as free on a day in which The Marshes is holding a tournament (and therefore...

Just a FYI that registration for the 2008 sun scramble is now open. Got the e-mail today. http://www.ottawasunscramble.com/

While Metcalfe is still one of my favourite courses overall (layout, atmosphere, price) I cannot understand how their greens can be so poor in relation to other courses of similar quality. The first green was a mess (the words of two members we played with). They are all cut very short, and...

Just got back from the Meadows playing a twighlight round after work and as usual for the Meadows they had a couple tournaments that day and the greens showed the usual abuse from having a bunch of non-golfers on them, but no problem there I just repaired the pitch marks ont he greens and tapped...

There's a course that I played in the area around 7 years ago, and I can't remeber the name or where it is. What I do remember is that there were 2 driveable par-4's (325-ish) in the first 3 or 4 holes, there was a long-ish par 4 late on the back side (17?) that was a dogleg left around some trees,...

Just wondering if anyone has played this course yet. They are now 18 holes. Compared to Whitetail?
