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...

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...

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

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!

Good to go.

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,

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?

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.

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...

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 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...

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...

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.

Folks I am looking for recommendations for "The Top 3 Executive courses in and nearby Nepean. Your opinions / experiences are appreciated. Thanks -Sunny

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

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 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...

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

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...

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

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

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?

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

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...

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.

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.

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

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...

Anyone know what courses are in the rotation this year?

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 :)

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?

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...

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

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...

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

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?

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...

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...

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?
