We (the wife and I) have tickets for Thursday. Anyone know of a good place to stay that's relatively close to the golf course (don't really want to be downtown) Thanks.

Took the plunge and bought a membership at Emerald yesterday. Really looking forward to the upcoming season and getting out and playing with some of the other members. cheers.

This store knows how to treat customers and the staff are truly great. For the second time in a year my ogio bag started to rip, last time they warrantied and gave me the bag of my choice on the spot. I was going in tonight to trade some tp reds for some new prov's and noticed the rip on my "new"...

Hi guys--anyone know Corporate Golfs web address?

Any one played Nation yet? Or Bearbrook if its open?

Hi all, Does anyone know of an instructor in Ottawa who teaches the Hardy single plane swing? Mike

I don't know about you guys, but I need to swing the club around before I start going out on the course. Plus I have some new clubs this year...let us know if you've seen any ranges open. Thanks

I'm thinking about maybe coming down with a 24 hour flu bug on wednesday (march 28th) and driving down to mapleview to start off my 2007 golf season. But wondering if its worth my day off work and my drive down to Perth. Does this course winter well? or will it be a swamp next week? -...

Opening on Friday :thumbsup Champlain Les View Moulins Nation FORE! :golfing_b

Its opening today and they are charging $38 but the green fee allows you a second game prior to May 11/07 so it ends up $19/game, not bad at all. If any of you lucky eager golfers play today please post the condition of the course. The course will likely be wet but hopefully the greens will be...

Just wondering because an uncle of mine (80+) wants to play but won't go out until he can get a cart. I have time to play this Saturday but am unsure if any course out there has definite plans. As long as they don't, I can't plan anything. If it's a definite no then I want to hook up with a...

Hello, I'm looking for any information on conditions at Cedar Glen. I'm assuming only the back nine are open. It should be a lot drier by Saturday I would assume.

I want to get a club fitting for my irons and putter. anyone know good place to go? I have heard some bad experience for club fitting.. so, I need someone who's very professional.

Anyone else notice this? In th "spring openings" section is says it opens on the 6th but when you try to book it says it opens on the 12 and doesnt let you book!! I am coming to ottawa for a weddding and need 3 tee times on saturday the 7th (and ofcourse a warmup on the 6th) Any ideas (dan)

Does anyone know how much they'll charge for spring conditions?

Just got off the phone with Dragonfly. They ARE open tomorrow. I have a tee off time at 11am and she told me that was a perfect time because a "group of ten guys from Ottawa" is coming down for 10:30. If you guys are part of that group, see you there!! Mike

Hey Guys, I was hoping somoene can help me out with a individual. I was speaking with the Nike Golf rep at the golf show last weekend and wondered was his name is. Even if you have the email address as well it would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping to get in touch with him about some...

Just a head's up that they are now open.

I got mine today (Balls and practice area)

Dan: When do you think you'll have the course openings up for this spring? I've been checking every day like a 3 year old checks their advent calendar. Cheers.

It was supposed to say "Wannahave Trophy", but unfortunately the engraver goofed and it now says "Hannahave Trophy". Do we keep it "Hannahave Trophy" or change it

Target golf Ctr opening Friday - Call ahead weather permitting.

With the year fast approaching, I got questions of my mind, first if I attain my 8 handicap (gonna be lower), at metcalfe who can vouche for my handicap, if it has to be a pro, I dont think we got one. someone shed some light in my direction please

Hey Dan - any update on new courses added to the Ottawa golf membership for this season? You mentioned last fall that there will be a couple new courses especially in the west end.

Just got back from the OAC. Rumour is that Haime's will open on Friday. Call ahead of course! G

Let's hear it? I predict we'll be playing no later then April 10th maybe even before that at Champ or LVM. If it is any later I'll be deeply saddended. I'm just itching.

Venues for the 2007 OVGA tournament season are now posted on their website.

I plan to do a more golfing in 2007. For the last ten years I've played 2-5 times per year, usually business tournaments and out of town with friends. Children have grown up and I'm finding more free time to do other activities. Do not have a regular four some. Live in Almonte, work...

I just checked the long term forecast and in 1 weeks time the cold below normal spell should leave us and above normal temperatures will be here. :-) The forecast is for temps to be above 0° by the 21st of Feb and getting significantly higher by the end of the month and even some rain to help the...

Hi all, Could someone please refresh my mind,,,when does word usually filter out concerning the date and the courses for this tournament?

Am I going senile? What happened to the thread on this topic?

Anyone know when any ranges are opening? K Haime's website says mid-March...that's now. Maybe sometime this week?

Anyone know if T & L will be having another warehouse sale this spring? I remember going to it right after leaving the Ottawa golf show last year and they had some great deals on everything.. picked up some balls last year.

In March, will there be any open outdoor range? Or golf course (:-) )

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any range membership prices. I am in Barrhaven, so the closest one would be On the Green, or Stonbridge. But I am just curious as to how much they would be. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just for fun I'm going to predict the first course opening of the season. It will be Cedar Glen on Saturday April 1st. See you all there.
