Anyone out there have any advise or suggestions on when it's time to start playing from the tips. I've seen players playing from the back tees and I really don't know why they are there. I'm pretty sure I'm ready but I don't want to be one of these players. Thanks in advance

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...

We were invited to play in a annual corporate golf event last Friday at Pineview. It was my first time at this course. I really enjoyed it. The staff were fantastic, the course layout and conditions were very good. Hopefully they make this their new home. Thanks again Pineview.

Played last Saturday. The fairways are rounding in to shape nicely, and 17 of 18 greens are 10/10 perfect, #15 green is 9.5/10 with one very small yellow spot (less than a foot square) left-of-centre in the shadows. Sid Witteveen continues to work his magic. Took my time and got around in just over...

Looking for someone local to pull a TM adapter off of driver shaft and install a Titleist one. I have the adapter already - just need the expert labour. Thanks. p.s. tried building my own shaft pulling rig last time and ruined a pretty expensive shaft - lesson learned :irked:

Finally got out and played this course and i must say it is a gem of a track. Awesome layout, nice and quiet and got 18 in in 3:30. It was wet after the downpour and played pretty darn long from the blues. All in all a great experience and i would make the trek out there again anytime!

....and oh yeah "Happy Festivus" to everyone! It's a Festivus Miracle! :party

Just wanted everyone to know before they waste a trip out there like i did.

Hi All, So it looks like I am going to be a member at ClubLink, I will be joining Hautes Plaines after confirming a couple of things over the phone this coming Monday. I am so excited to be finally joining after think about toying with the idea last year. I actually live in the East end and...

Played it for the first time today...definitely not the last! That course is incredible! Very challenging off the tee, extremely creative use of the terrain, and the greens were running 10.5! Wow! Just a question though, I went to enter the round in the program here and I couldnt find...

...'tis is the time where most courses would aerate their green and fairway. I can take the cold and rain but putting on sand just make the golf round very unattractive. Perhaps we are asking too much with only a few rounds left in the season :P As the courtesy I think the courses should...

Playing there next for my first time, anyone played it recently? I'm assuming it's in kickass shape.

I'm interested in joining a mens league this year and would like to know of any that are recommended. Do you have to belong to clublink if you want to join their mens night? (eaglecreek)

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

I remember seeing last year a long drive competition in the Ottawa area. I missed it last year and wanted to get there this year, but I haven't seen any postings for it. Does anyone know if there is a long drive this year near Ottawa? Cheers Paul

I've never played "yet", but this course from the tour on this site looks amazing and all for $30 during the week. What are peoples impressions on this course.:wave

A friend of mine is thinking of taking his father in-law to Eagle Creek tomorrow and wants to know what the conditions are like there before he makes him pay the full green fees. Can anyone comment on what the conditions there are like right now, and if they were paying a full green fee if...

Ok. One month today we leave for Florida. Unlike last year, I would like get out and hit balls 3 or 4 times before we leave. Now that there is no golf dome at Lansdowne, I was wondering if there is anywhere you can go and hit a bucket or two. (besides playing a round on a simulator) Or do I have to...

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...

Do any of the courses featured on this site have kikuyu grass?

Played Renfrew last Wed and was VERY disappointed with their greens. Despite all of the rebuilding there seems to be some sort of weed in the grass. also a number of bare spots. I have played there several times last year and earlier this year and thought they were making good progress with the...

Anybody drop by to see the course conditions? Any idea of how many tee-times they have left as I'm thinking of going tommorow. And if they are discounting their green fees?

Looking for some feedback from people who have played the Renfrew course. Playing there on Sunday and would appreciate any comments on the course. Long? short? narrow? hilly?

Just coming back from Anderson Links (East / West) and I must say that not only is the course in good shape but the greens are simply amazing. Receptive, rolling true and just a tad slower than Equinelle. Well done to the staff.

Anyone play this course yet, down in the 1000 Islands? Opinions? Think it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Plan on getting down at least once this year.

While on the site today I noticed that this course (Richmond Centennial Golf Club) was fairly close to where I live and seemed to have decent greens fee's (last years rates on their website) I was wondering if anyone has played the course and how it was? The memberships there look fairly...

Just clicked on the Home Page and noted the Rules listed. Never noticed them there before but no big deal. Did notice however that the two new clubs, Nation and Canadian appear to have some restrictions and I need some clarification. Rule is... Canadian, Chateau Cartier, Manderley, Nation - Can...

I am traveling in Alabama this week on business. I came straight from a golf weekend in Niagara/Hamilton with my buddies, so of course I have my clubs. I have an afternoon flight out, and after a couple of appointments in the morning, my co-worker and I decide to try one of the Robert Trent Jones...

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?

It was cold, it was windy, it was like hitting a brick, it was GREAT:-)
