Hi all, my current job is a seasonal job and I was wondering if anyone knew of any golf courses looking to hire for next season. I have never worked at a golf course before but figured it might be a great thing to do!

Hey, Anyone on here play World Golf Tour? http://wgt.com/home.aspx If you do, add me as a friend - scooby103 I've also started a country club on the site, looking to get some local players to play together. Might be fun for some over the upcoming winter months. It's free to play,...

Ya had to know this one was coming! :-) What do you consider to be the worst hole to play in the Region?

Is the cold weather and the snow making me think I just wasted 4 hours watching the worst Masters in recent memory or was it really that bad???

Since we where talking about Pineview number one hole, i decided to ask what your opinion of the worst starting hole in the region. My vote is my old stomping grounds Buckingham. I hate the first hole with a passion, O.B. left side, you never have a good lie, its short but very narrow when hitting...

Me and a couple guys were talking on Monday after our round at Outaouais, and we all wondered if Ottawa area courses were to join together with a reciprocal type of approach that if your a member at any course in Ottawa (let's say that belongs to OVGA) you would have access to all courses within...

Wondering what the proper etiquette is in this instance... I was golfing this past Saturday with Nat and we were joined up with an elderly gentlemen in a golf cart for the 18 holes. During the round Nat I and were constantly being delayed because this fellow kept skirting both sides of each...

My wife and I have been very fortunate to play some great courses in our area and Mt-Tremblant but in my own humble opinion,this is the greatest course i have ever played.Pristine conditions,beautifull lush fairways and greens almost perfect.Cant say enough about the layout and condition of this...

Well, let's hope the weather man is wrong.

Played Casselview for the first time this year. Had a great day out. Thumbs up to the pace of play, the courteous and friendly staff, and the overall condition of the course. Massive thumbs down though to some of the courses clients who seem to feel it's an entirely acceptable practice to leave...

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.

Quite a jolt seeing all the snow that came down last night. They say that it will all go away today, tomorow, at the latest.Hope to get out one more time, at least.:(:(

Today, I visited a range on the East end (the one on Ines road) for the first time and it was sad... no only my golf was t-e-r-r-r-i-b-l-e but the balls and mats are due for replacement badly. Is that always the case there? I practice mostly at 19th and I always taught that it was the lower end...

After a summer of being unemployed (and lots of golf! :-)) I am optimistic I may have finally secured a new job. As such, I've been thinking a lot about the courses that I really enjoyed playing last year or that I wanted to try this year, and have yet to visit this year due to financial...

This should be interesting :-) I am really getting confused by the weather reporting lately----4 different local predictions and they are all different :eek: Who do you think is the most accurate--or do you go to the satellite/radar and do your own predicting ? :-)

In your opinion which course do you think is the best out of : Outaoais, Rideau View, Camelot and Kanata Lakes. I'm playing intersectionals at these courses and I'd like to know more about these courses. Maybe list off a view interesting holes on each course as well. Thanks

This is my first post so here goes...given that I will soon be moving back to Ottawa, I was wondering what courses I should pencil in as "must play courses". In putting together a ranking of your top 5 choices, consideration should be given to course availability, value for your money, and just...

For those OGers who love these balls they are on sale for $10.00 at Canadian Tire this week.:thumbsup :thumbsup

SCOTT KELLY of Smith Falls a participant in the Local Heroes Bar and Grill charity golf tournament, was the lucky winner of a $12,000. hole in one prize. The once in a lifetime shot came on the 165yd 7th hole of the Meadows East course on Monday July 21 2008. SCOTT will receive his...
