Does anyone know why Yanni Tseng was wearing the large bandaid on her right arm during the CN Canadian Open at the Hunt Club? I was wondering if she had an injury that may have effected her play on Sunday.

One word to describe this course:Wow.If ever I needed incentive to leave La Belle Province this would be it.Gorgeous old style course with lush fairways,wonderfull greens,and what a layout.Every hole is an adventure.Just cant believe my wife and I did not play here before.And as a bonus if you get...

I unfort cannot locate my camera which I took to Manderly today, it is a Canon Powershot A550 or 560 with a 2gig memory card (I am hoping I just left it in the cart). The last few pics of are my 3 year old experiencing "real" golf for the first time. If anyone comes across it, can you please let...

Here you go... I used www.random.org to generate a random sequence of numbers from 1 to 32 inclusively. This resulted in: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=274878 A few things: 1) Please send me a PM with your current index. I'll update the brackets with your index (in brackets...

I usually wake up in the morning to the Team 1200 and this morning they were saying that Lorena had stated that she loves the Hunt and so far it's her favourite place on Tour right now. Did anyone else hear that or was I just dreaming? If it's true, that's a pretty powerful statement for the...

I'm an admitted Renfrew Golf Club fan-boy, but I thought I'd point out that the course drains extremely well. We just had our Club Championship this weekend past, and there was lots of rain & the course played great. I can't recall any standing water anywhere.

what would you do if a marshall drove his honda civic down the fairway of a par 3 at 8:30 pm to tell you to leave the course because he wants to go home?

Who is going to be there? If all goes according to plan I'll have some Club house tickets. If not I'll still be there. Feel like meeting up for a few pints while watching the ladies? lemme know,

Good to go.

Looking to get a round in this afternoon around 2pm with a buddy. Any deals in the west end? Anywhere from Manderley West as I'm in Kanata. Thanks!

Looking for tickets for Friday or Sunday. If you have them let me know, if not where can I buy them?

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...

Not sure if this belongs in local or general since people may travel, so please move it as you see fit. Anyone here considering volunteering next year? I looked at the webpage and it sounds like it might be kind of cool if you get one of the better jobs. I'm assuming that "serious" golfers...

Got a 3-day golf/poker trip starting tomorrow. Anybody know either of these courses up the Quebec side??

My folks and I are attending the final round Sunday of the Ladies Open at Huntclub. I've never been to the Hunclub golf course and was wondering, where would the best viewing point be located? We would likely be sitting/standing for the better part of the day and would like to secure a spot that...

Just to let you know, played today and it is in the best shape and playing condition I have ever seen it. Also if you are +55 on Wed. play all day for $15. or $33. with a cart. more than worth the gas to play.

I went to hit a few balls tonight at the Hunt and decided to play a few holes. Walked on to #1 west (#10 on the tournament course) and there was an LPGA player there in a cart with her caddy. I guess there's no tournament this week following the British Open as I heard there's been other players...

Played a round at Manderley yesterday, and played the first nine assuming that the blue stakes (environmentally sensitive area) also doubled as OB, as they were all so far off the fairway. After nine, just out of curiosity, i checked the scorecard and discovered that they were actually a free...

Just wondering if anyone else purchased those Smart Circle 35$ packages for the Canadian and/or Lombard Glen last summer? If so, what were the thoughts?

Hey Guys, We rented a cottage next week and I am wondering what the closest golf courses are in that area. I am with the in-laws for 7 days and think I may need a bit of alone time on the golf course.

So I played marshes for the very first time and the course was in amazing condition. The 6 par 3s and the 6 par 5s... Those are the holes I do really well on and its the par 4s I have problems with and there were only 6 of them so in terms of scoring... I love it but seemed kinda to easy with...

Anyone been recently? Playing on Friday and just curious as to the conditions?

I started golfing late around 42 ... have been golfing for about 15 years and now feel I can compete ..but have no idea what is available to me ... I don't belong to a course and can't get into the local tournaments is there something with Ottawa Golf that I can join ? Is it too late ?

So, anyone else braving the forecast today? I have a 12:30 tee off time at Hammond. Anyone got an update on conditions as it will be my first round at Hammond this year? Thanks,

Just came back from there.... Excellent. Bunkers were well sanded...Played in 3.5 hours passed 3 groups.

I was curious if those who are not acting as volunteers was looking at purchasing tickets for the week long tourney or just single day passes. I was looking at possibly getting the champions package for myself, then thought there might be others looking to do the same. If so then we might be...

I'm at a buddies cottage and will be playin two rounds there this weekend. What kind of shape is it in?

Just incase anyone has played it, they changed their slope and rating at the start of the season. They had it re=done at the end of the season last year and here are the new numbers. The numbers in the handicapping system are the old numbers and the numbers on the scorecard are old as well. ...

Played Pineview yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.For a municipal course with lots of traffic it was in good shape.Greens were a bit long but wonderfull condition,fairways nice.Worth playing if its not raining as they tell me it does not drain well.Great value for your...

So with much deliberation and a lot of budget spreadsheets I have finally taken the plunge and joined a private course. Well, I put a deposit down and should have an invitation by next season. On top of that I decided to add my finacee to the membership because she will qualify for the midrange...

My 2 buddies and I played at Sorcier on Wed afternoon, we decided to take advantage of the $40 for green fee/cart after 2pm. So we get there a bit early plus I think there must have been some cancellations due to the weather (turned out to be nice). So since we were there early they asked if we...

just heard golf experts in kingston has gone out of business. anyone know if they had a clearence sale or anything?? i thought they would survive the golf town invasion but i guess not. sorry to hear it, they were always good guys.

SCOTT KELLY of Smith Falls a participant in the Local Heroes Bar and Grill charity golf tournament, was the lucky winner of a $12,000. hole in one prize. The once in a lifetime shot came on the 165yd 7th hole of the Meadows East course on Monday July 21 2008. SCOTT will receive his...

Just got a call form a friend who heard on the radio (Chez 106) that another buddy of ours who plays on the NCGT, got a Hole-In-One at the Doc and Woody Chez 106 Golf Tournament and won a $15,000 boat:not-worth Congrats Jeff on your great shot and good fortune. :thumbsup Hope you have some...

How is Canadian this year? Looking to get a round there some time soon...

Work has started on changes to holes 3-4-5 on the south course. As I understand it there have been some complaints from residents living near the south course (Hawthorne Road & Louiseize Road) about errant golf balls. The three holes will be reconfigured from #3 par 5 460 (W) to a par 4. The...

Hello, gb458 is building a club for me and he needs to make one cut on the shaft. Anyone in the barhaven area with a table saw he can come by and use for one cub (butt end)? LMK and I'll get him to call you :) Thanks all

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.

Hi guys and gals, there is 8 of us that want to go golfing in around Perth next weekend. There are two courses there, Perth and Mapleview. Which one would you play if given the choice? Thanks.

Been to a few places... Casselview, Cenntenial, Le Sorcier, Dragonfly, Pineview. What would guys suggest to go for my next green fee? (I dont like paying 80$ ... 50 max... Mind you, I like twilight :-)

#2 at the Marshes... 640 yards from the gold tees / 615 yards from the blues. Although theoretically possible to reach the green in two, I'm highly dubious it's happened on more than a handful of occasions. Have you ever reached the green in two? Ever played with anyone who did?

With BC's thread about intersectional qualifying methods I thought it would be good to see how everyone is doing in their quest to make their club's team. So far I'm in 6th. Although a bit of a tough day out there yesterday with the howling wind, it was my chipping that let me down. I managed...
