Greens are getting a bit banged up right now. That hasn't been the case most of the season, but with the golf season at it's peak they're stating to take a bit of a pounding. Please take a minute when you can and fix a few extra ball marks. Ask your playing partners to do the same. Too many...

I have heard some negative reviews on the conditions of the new nine - along the lines of it is just not worth playing yet and that one should wait. Since I and planned to head there next week, can anyone offer any insight.

Still searching for a new membership next year. Looking for stuff that is close on the map and this course popped up. Some of the hoels look ok. Does this place have marshals keeping play up? I think I might have played there once and it was pretty blah but I'm not sure. I'm just looking for a...

What taxes are charged on a round of golf in Ontario?

FYI, I was at Golftown today and they have a few things worth noting on sale: 1) Brand new Speedcart V1 from last year's stock ( The one with the bungee cord ) for sale at $188. It is Copper coloured. Only one of these left 2) Golf shirts for $10. Mostly L and XL, and a few M 3)...

I've heard a few things about this course but i've never played it before. It's only 20 minutes past the Ktown and is 39 bucks seven days a week. Anyone have any comments on it at all? And how the heck do you get there?

I hadn't noticed this before, but Jerome, who was part of the other team we played with, pointed it out to me. If you download the video promo for the Sun Scramble, you'll get to see yours truly hitting a tee shot on the first hole. http://ottawasunscramble.com/index-video.html Of course,...

I was wondering, how hard would it be to set up a match play ladder. I don't know a lot about this sort of thing, but I think he basic premiseis that you can challenge someone within a set number of rungs above you. THe lower guy jumps up a rung, or swaps places with the higher guy if he wins,...

Playing LVM tomorrow for first time. Do they have a range? If no, is there one nearby? thanks

Does anyone know where Graham has been playing these days? I know he was just at the Marshes in the CPGA Seniors but after he quit at Carelton Yacht he was heading south to play tournament golf. Does anyone know the tours he has been playing, I would like to keep up on his progress.

Some of the following I've played... some I have not. Straight out for the money which course is best? Stonebridge Eagle Creek Outaouais Le Sorcier Loch March Marshes other honourable mentions....

I just finished watching the 6 o'clock news on A-Channel. They reported on how roads were flooded and/or washed out up in the Cobden/Pembroke/Petawawa area... they said "Renfrew" in there too. No sooner did the report end did my phone ring. My father warned me (all too gleefully, if you ask...

Just clicked one of Dan's banner ads here, to Thousand Islands CC... old tyme-y lookin' place. Anyone ever played there, just out of curiosity? http://www.ticountryclub.com/old_course.html

Can someone recommend a good place in the Ottawa area to donate old golf clubs? I'm cleaning out my golf club inventory - getting rid of everything except the clubs I use now. I am selling some things, but others I just want to donate, but I'd prefer that they go somewhere where they will be...

Teed off at 11:30 today and decided to take a cart (which I don't normally do) but because of the weather forecast calling for rain I though it might come in handy. Played the first 3 holes of the old back nine and then came the rain. Decided to try and wait it out and there was some serious...

I played the Predator course at Grehawk last night and when I arrived at the 8th Hole (Par 3) they actually had cut three different holes in the green and had a different colour flag at each. I didn't know which hole to shoot at so I just took a shot at the green and decided to putt to the hole...

so I went to the remax ld qualifier today, I had no real illusions of being a regional qualifier, just wanted to see how much damage I could do. After two kicks at the can I managed to hit one solid into the grid...260 boo hisss... :( I'd hoped to at least break the 300 barrier. In my defence...

Anyone start their qualifying this weekend? Had our first of three rounds today. Needless to say, my front nine was anything but good golf. Finished up at +5 (42) with the miserable weather. Rainy, windy and cold continued from the last three or four holes from the front to the start of the back....

Ok, First time you played the marshes #2, how many balls did you lose? (BE HONEST :D). I was playing it safe driving super left and then i had 220 left thought I'd hit a hybrid left to cut the corner and hopefully get caught by the big bank, well it landed maybe 1 or 2 feet short and well you...

I am a 15-year old junior member with a five handicap at Rivermead. I am looking for an opportunity to caddie at the Ottawa Citizen Tournament on Monday for one of the contending players. My knowledge of the course may be beneficial to someone who doesn't know Rivermead very well.

My Wife is playing at the Royal Ottawa next week.Anyone have any tips for her? Thanks for your help. Steve

Looking for a course in good shape, relatively close to downtown (maybe 30mins out), 40-50$ ish Maybe something on the quebec side... Suggestions? Conditions of greens is my most important factor!

Here is a link to the hole by hole layout of Rivermead. If you don't get a chance to play it, this may help. http://www.rivermeadgolf.com/2004a/public/course_profile.asp?H=1

Which one should I play on sunday, I've haven't played either and they are both within $4 so cost isn't a factor. Which one is in better condition? which one is more fun (in terms of holes, set ups for right handed players ect) thanks for your help. No rush on getting back to me, i've booked...

Thought I'd post this so that you can come out and support you CPGA's. The Golf Professionals of the CPGA Ottawa zone will have their Summer Open here, at the Club de golf Outaouais, Sunday July 8<SUP>th</SUP>. The first tee time is at 12:30 p.m. and our own Golf Professional, Don Westphal...

There has been a lot of interest in a public player program here. Our RCGA Certified Handicap software allows us to run such a program. I have here the forms from The RCGA Golf Quebec (local authority) to make it official. All we need now is 15 members and a handicap chairman. The cost...

Hi all... played Le Sorcier for the first time yesterday based on the great reviews people have given it here... I loved the layout and pretty much everything about it, aside from the fact that our round took 5 hours and 30 minutes. Wondering if this is standard for Le Sorcier, or did we just...

Hi, I am trying to find my options for driving ranges in the east end...all I know is west end. Thanks for your help, Mike

Looks like Tn cup is out of business, so where else can you walk in and buy golf components in Ottawa? Googling isn't yielding many results.

I am looking for a golf camp to put my 8 year old son into. I know Capital Golf offers one, does anyone know of any other places? Thanks

I have intersectionals there in a few weeks. I'm slotted number 4 :cool. Anyways, how is it playing this year in terms of course conditions. Also, what is the course like, and is there anything in particular to watch out for ?

Is there any long drive contests in Eastern Ontario?

Just got back from the "Prior"---a Saturday round on a course that was busy----3 hours 55 minutes. Had an enjoyable round and the conditions have improved greatly over last year. If it was not for the construction on the Qweens way the day would have been fantastic. Got off the Qweensway at...

Hi all, I was originally unable to play in this tournament, but that's changed now. I contacted the organizer (as per the flyer) but she said that entries were closed, and I was the 4th alternate (she hasn't contacted me...no surprise). I was thinking of showing up at Stonebridge, and making...

Hey y'all - As I posted here earlier (but my post was shunted off to neverneverland) I'm new to town and have pretty much made up my mind about buying a Clublink membership. Problem is, I don't see any reason not to do it. The price is good (O play around 75-100 rounds a year), the courses seem...

I am playing one of these courses next Thursday, I am already leaning towards Heritage because from their website it looks like $57 for golf & cart after 12pm, & Montebello is $82 at the same time. Does anybody have any experience with either of these courses? Never been to either.

Mont Cascades will be available July 15th to RM members for $20 weekday and $22 on weekends!

Does anyone one know what the deal is here, don't know how to enter the round for handicaping purposes. Has the slope and rating of the course been determined yet?

Played Anderson links yesterday, and the course is really drying out. Any courses in the area fairing well right now with semi receptive greens?

A course about 6400 plus yards (give or take) at the 40/45$ price range, what should I be looking at in the Ottawa-Gatineau area?
