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...

I know that it's been covered before but can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me the name of the golf sims in Gatineau. I believe that it is downtown Hull and has a funny name. Thanks Claude

Le Sorcier conditions?

Are there any good deals out there for Stonebridge? I kind of want to play there but $75 is a little too much. Didn't they used to have a cheaper rate on weekends after 12pm?

I can't seem to think of any other reason as to why Calabogie was empty today...other than due to the price of gas. Our tee-time was at 7:20 and we got there around 7:10am. The Proshop was just opening up. We couldn't believe we were the first to tee-off with no other players behind us. We...

As the title states I'm playing Glengarry tomorrow for the first time in my junior intersectional match. Anyways I hear its short and I assume we will play the whites. Ive also heard its tight but I would like to get some confirmation about conditions and how tight and short it really is. I hit...

How is Les vieux moulins holding out? Usually in July it get dry and hard as rock. Anybody play there lately?

Does anyone know of any upcoming tournaments besides leagues etc already started? Anytime in July, August, September, both mens and couples is what I am looking for?

Planning to golf there on Wednesday... any thoughts? The course is in Belleville.

Looks like Dan and I have come up with our teams for our Annual Green vs Black Ryder Cup.:thumbsup Should be another good Battle with some familiar faces from the OG Forum community making their first appearences, being scooped up by Team Green captain..:scratchch Hmmmmm can we say Indio?...

Played a round yesterday. Tee-off at 11.54 and was amazed that we aere the last booked 2SOME til after 2pm. We got our round done in 4 hours. We are talking a sat, great course conditions and can never say a thing about service and price. It seems like they are quiet this year and I just don't...

Anybody know if I will be able to use a range finder during intersectionals??

Played Anderson Links yesterday and joined a very nice family of three, Mom, Dad, and the young son who hit it a mile, even into the wind. We were walking on a very busy, and very hot day. Well the four morons in carts behind us were in a great hurry and kept hitting balls into us all day. This...

Looking to play Mt Cascade next week anyone know what shape its in Thanks

Hey guys so i am playing in the B division of the Ottawa Sun Scamble and Neither me or my playing partner have played Le Srocier and won't have a chance to get out there before Tuesday, So any advise you can give me on any of the holes would be appreciated. If it matter we are playing from the...

Hey Guys, I started playing golf late last year and I got addicted quite quickly. Obviously I'm not very good but I think I'm improving quickly. I'm wondering if you guys would know where I would be able to find people of similar skills (and preferably age) to play with. I'm 23, by the way. A...

Today 2nd July at Kevin Haimes if anyone is interested (2pm -8pm)

I guy I work with, who's a volunteer firefighter out of Carp, was there last night for 6 hours. The whole maintenance shed and all the greenskeeping equipment were destroyed. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/city/story.html?id=79e860de-ece8-4f6a-995c-df209bed25a1

I've been with the same instructor for the past few years. While I have improved in some areas, I am very dissatisfied with this year's progress. I finished last year shooting high 80s - low 90s. My main concern has always been my consistency in ball striking. I'm not necessarily looking for...

I played there a month ago and the front 9 greens were brutal. They were spiked and had many dead spots. Has anyone played there lately? Let me know. Luc

Can some one tell what the restrictions on the Cascade golf coupon is, I have 2 at home and my friend is going today but can;t remember if its still valid!

News from the NCGT event at Anderson Links on Sunday June 22nd This is how it goes sometimes:-) I feel bad for Dennis who apparently put his shot to about 12 inches form the cup on no.6 and was set to make some $$ for a CTP. He left NOT knowing what was to follow. In the very last group of...

Did Bentgrass close down? Signs aren't up anymore :confused

Fallys and I are looking to play Monday, anyone know of a relatively inexpensive course that should've drained relatively well by Monday? I have a pass for Edelweiss, does it drain well?

Does anyone out there know how I can get hold of the owner of the recently defunct Golf à la Carte which was located in Gatineau. I have $200.00 on account with them and wouldn't mind getting it back

I was going through my bag of brochures / coupons from the golf show this spring and I noticed a 2 for 1 card for Anderson Links, Emerald Links, or Cloverdale Links. It's a plastic card about the size of a credit card, and it doesn't mention anything about restrictions or an expiry date, so I was...

Glenmar Greensmere (old 18) Irish hills Stonebridge and uploaded them to the intelligolf website. I used google earth and once I get to ottawa I will touch up the numbers live on the course and re-upload the courses. As of right now intelligolf and google earth are saying that the sruvey is...

This lousy weather is frustrating me. I need somewhere to work on my swing! Are there any indoor practice facilities that are open in the summer months, more specifically, in the west end?

A SC Prototype centre shaft was stolen yesterday at Greyhawk from my buddy's bag. Putter was in mint condition. They left the headcover over an iron head so we could not see it was missing. If someone comes accross an ad for the sale of a putter or notices someone that has one for sale for a...

I was wondering if there were any Greyhawk members that live in the west end and will try to play Men's night tonight? I have a favour to ask. PM if you can help, thanks.

Greetings everyone - what a great board and resource you have here. I'm going to have time tomorrow (Thursday) to play around between here and Montreal. I've searched online and on the maps here and found a few courses that look nice - Outaouais, Hawkesbury, Glengarry, Falcon (not Falcon Ridge,...

Hi, has that come or gone yet?

I don't understand why more folks in the forum do not join the NCGT :not-worth What a great bunch of guys and gals (fortunately only a couple know who Indio is :-)) Had a blast today!!! It was hot as hell but the company made it worth while... thanks for the laughs Mattchew :-) (I love watching...

Has anyone heard anything about Gatineau opening again? website says June 2008 but not much info provided.

Hey guys---heading up on Sunday--just wondering what the course is like. Someone mentioned that the two nines are different??? Any insight? :)

Any other volunteers heading to the orientation @ the Hunt on the 7th? What position are you going to be filling? Could be be nice to hook up so I'd know somebody there.:thumbsup

Anybody have this happen to you? You hit a shot off the tee and it drifts right but short, towards a maintenance staff who has pulled over to let the group hit up. While the other 3 are hitting, you notice he is looikng for your ball and waves to the spot that he found your ball.:thumbsup ...

Hey all. I'm in Ottawa next Monday to Wednesday. It's my first visit to your fine city, and of course, i'm looking to play some golf (Monday as a single) I have been told by a few people that Eagle Creek is the place to play, but it looks as though you need a membership as of this year....

My wife’s birthday is coming up (mid July) and I wanted to get her golfing lessons this year. She’s been playing for about 4 years and shoots about low to mid 90’s from the men’s tees (yes she has beaten me more often than not :irked:). She’s a competitive one and always wanting to up her game. ...

Just curious about two things regarding your clubs method of qualifying a team. 1. Do you use Stableford points, medal scores etc.? Number of rounds? 2. Do you permit players to qualify at times other than those prescribed by the organizer? That is, if some cannot play on a particular day/time,...

Is anyone aware of any local world long drive qualifiers being held in the ottawa area this year. I know in the past they have been in Manotick, but the WLDC website doesn't list any for the Ottawa area this year, only ones near Toronto and Montreal. I am hoping to get a local one instead of...

Playing CC tomorrow (Friday) AM. How's the drainage there? This overnight rain going to make things soggy?

I am coming from the east end of ottawa and trying to figure out the fastest/easiest way to les vieux moulins golf course. Any suggestions thanks

I was thinking about playing The Maples or Pine Lodge this weekend. I was leaning towards Pine Lodge because they have a "stay & play" package. Have any members played either course, if so what do you think?? I hear both are very reasonable on rates and conditions. Can't wait to hit the links!!!!...

As I'm playing Greensmere this afternoon in my forum match play match against Geoff, and as I've never played the 'new' nine before. Can anyone give me some tips? Also, for #2 and #3 on the Black course (I think it's the Black 9)... What do you factor in for those massive downhill shots... 1...

I was at Nevada Bob's in orleans the other day and a guy was paying for the 9 hole course, and I noticed they had a special price going. $20 and you get a small bucket of balls along with the green fee. The clerk didn't know how long the special was going, so I was wondering if anyone here had...
