Forum: General Golf Talk

Hi Dan, I just spent a few minutes looking through threads, and every item in the thread was sold. As I was getting annoyed with this I thought it would be neat if you could develop a way t close a thread. For example, I am selling a golf club, it is sold, I can then close my thread so people do...

Good price in store. Also available online for $8 more.

This is what 204 mph looks like in super slo-mo. Unreal! http://www.pinnaclegolfblog.com/2007/12/06/jason-zuback-hits-the-fastest-ball-in-sports/

Hey all, my wife recently bought me a new iPod for my birthday, not sure what i would use it for.... I downloaded some classical music onto it, and various other music that i like to listen to.... Recently i have been taking it with me on the course.... I found that listening to classical music (...

I just thought a interesting thread would be clubs in your bag that work for you but are a little different. Example a infomercial product, a 15 wood etc etc. To start things off: I bought a la jolla knife fairway wood in winter. After playing it wow!!! It was an infomercial product a few yrs...

Tiger: :brownsung #1 in the world. Tiger played against himself. Even when he played poorly, it was by his standards. I get a kick out of him when he talks about how bad his swing is when he just laped the field. Phil Michelson: :sick #2 in the world. Hard to believe... Best Sunday choker...

September is here, let's get some predictions on how your golf season is going to end. Season best scores or an all-time best score coming???

Latley I have had some crazy long rounds but Friday was the longest round of golf I have ever played. 4 of us Played Smiths Falls on Friday @ 2:15. A tipical round at SF is 3h 45min-4 tops as a group of 4. Friday it took us 5h 10min to get around the course. we had to wait before evry...

Now that it's all but over (still hopeing for that "last" round :D ), I thought it might be interesting to see what your highlight reals look like. As well as your blooper real. :D As for highs: 1) OttawaGolf Tour success. Thanks to a good bunch of people on our tour this year, I thouroughly...

I generally bring a banana and a couple of granola bars to eat during the round, but a couple of weeks ago a buddy of mine showed up with a dozen Golden Palace egg rolls that we scarfed down during our Thursday evening round, which got me to wondering; What is everyones favourite, or most...

I am wondering how your club runs their club match play competition? Do you use 100% of handicaps when calculating how many strokes are to be given, or do you use a percentage? ( **. 75 or 80 percent) Maybe something else. ( **. max number of strokes) There is some discussion in our club on...

Just wondering what everyone's best shot is right now. For me I've been just terrific with those short pitches to the hole from 25 to 50 feet out. I've been deadly accurate so far this year and have had many, many more par opportunities. :thumbsup All that backyard practice has really paid off....

This is pretty neat. DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you do not read the bottom until you have worked it out!

Okay, I guess now's as good a time as any. What do you want to accomplish in the 2009 golf season? :) I'm taking a different tack this year. No "hard" targets. My plan is take the game as it comes, enjoy every swing, and not be too hard on myself over a less-than-perfect result. Too much stress...

I do not see a link "course closing" in the left menu bar yet, but the season is not getting any younger... So let's start a thread, your top 3 most memorable shots of the year ... so far. Mine are, and until I change my mind: 1. First bunker shot of the season, Malone #4 east. Directly into the...

Air Canada told golfer her clubs were on the next flight, but they showed up for sale on Kijiji http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/stolen-golf-clubs-pearson-airport-peel-police-man-arrested-1.3994824

Subject: Golfing There's a fellow who is a golf fanatic. Every Saturday morning he has an early tee time. He gets up early and eager, golf's all day long.....36 holes sometimes. Well, one Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his clubs out of...

I'd like to test a You-Tube player that we could use here on the network to showcase user's swings. There are basic tools available from You-Tube to do this (and more features coming) so I'd like to do some testing. If anyone has a You-Tube video of themselves hitting send me a link so I have some...

There was really slow foursome in front of my group today. They took 3 practice swing before each shot, they were never ready when it was their turn to hit, and there was 6 holes wide open in front of them!!! So after waiting a few minutes for them to get out of the way, I topped a shot and...

As with all 12-step programs, in order for How to Quit Golf to be effective golfers must first admit that perhaps they’re not handling the game as well as they could be, and they may possibly have a problem associated with their golfing. Below are questions that the suspecting golfer should ask: ...

You go to the Golfworks to pick up some ferrules...... and come back with ferrules and a Frankly Frog putter head.

I was at a funeral yesterday. After the service we went to a restaurant with family and friends. Dinner, wine, we had a good time. At the end of the night we all said our goodbyes, I was shaking hands with one of the guys and I told him "good game". ugh

I had an invite to play Camelot this afternoon and whimped out because of the heat and humidity. Is anyone actually playing golf this afternoon? If you are I salute you..you hardcore golf addicts :)

As the subject says, I'm sure many of you will not believe what I'm about to say, but I swear it's all true. I played at Equinelle tonight. I had an albatross on #6. I holed a 7-iron from 188 yards. Now, #6 is 'only' 480 yards long from the tees I was playing... and it was downwind... but...

In my first season of golf I was scoring consistantly in the 105-115 range. This year I set my set myself the target of breaking 100 without mulligans, gimmes or footwedges. After a couple of close ones (100, 102, 103) I finally did it yesterday at Gatineau. The round did not start well. The...

:jitter As I was heading home today I happened to drive by the Royal Ottawa golf course when all the sudden out of nowhere comes a familiar projectile my way. Tried slamming on the brakes but lo and behold too little too late. :eek: Directly into my windshield. Fortunately no damages whatsoever. I...

:grumpy: Please, someone tell me that the Ottawa area also had some wet snow today:biting: I was watching TV, my dog was outside playing. Suddenly he jumps on the back door, his usual way of letting us know he wants in. I go to let him in, no wonder he wanted in. IT WAS SNOWING :eek: :eek: Of...

Shot an 80, 9 over. I was 3 over after 13, then the short game fell apart :(. I'd like to blame the guys behind us that started hitting into the green before we had cleared out, but eh...I just folded. Best game since I started playing regularely again a few years back, and the first...

So the round itself was ho-hum, a 94, not that good but I did manage two chip-ins. The first was on the par 5 9th, in the bunker right of the green in 3 ( I HATE BUNKERS )and I hit a beautiful sand shot, hits the flag, then the ground then rolls in for birdie. First time ever I sink a sand shot....

I went in to the golf club this morning to pay my annuals. It is a sign that we are a short distance away from golf season and a sign that I have no money left. Anyone else pay there dues recently?

Anyone happy to what you've spent this year? I was just planning for next year golf budget and can see I need to make a lot of changes base on this year. 50% game (greenfee, trips, food and beers) 40% Equipments (clubs, balls, apperal) 10% Education (lessons, mag subscription, training aids)...

I can't decide between a few clubs for the last opening in my bag. I go from 10.5 driver to a 21* CFT hybrid. I was thinking of picking up a 3w at 15*, a 4w at 17* or another utility club at 14*. If I buy the hybrid it will be a steel shaft. If I buy either the 3w or 4w then I will buy it in...

Found this chart on the Golf Club Review. Check and see if you're just a puty tat, or a real man (ur, ur, ur) http://www.golfclubreview.com/yardage_expectations.htm

Okay, this will probably sound like a stupid question to some people on here, but I need to know. When I am hitting irons, my distance is very predictable - each clubs adds 10 yards. My 3 iron goes about 200, then i jump to my 5 wood at about 210-215, 3 wood at about 225 (the woods are...

Hi; I was thinking about how nice a yardage book would be for the courses that we play as members of Ottawa Golf. Does anyone know of a source for the purchase of yardage books for the area? I am comptiplating making some myself, I figure it would be alot of work, but it would be fun...

Hey Guys, I am participating in the US Open qual at bellevue this year and have never played this course. We will be going out a day before for a practice round, but wondered if anyone had any yardage books or notes?

We will be hosting a private league on our NCGT site for the upcoming PGA season. It's easy to register and it's FREE and open to all. For more information follow the link on our Fantasy/Links page.

Dan, will you be starting a group? If not, I will gladly start one and invite everyone to join.

Did anyone on here take part in the first "Mauler & Rush Fall Foreplay" golf tournament? If so, what was your experience?

Ok guys Who's been good this year and is going to be getting something under the tree from santa? Anyone going to convince the kids that santa left you a new golf club??? Any equipment being bought this year for yourself?? :-) Gotta admit I'm looking at getting a new shaft (another Aldila...

I have recently suffered a golf injury known as the fracture of the hook of the hamate. This little broken bone in my wrist caused me to lose all but 19 rounds of my season last summer, I went through a bone scan, CT scan and had to wear a cast for 10 weeks. I am still seeing specialists and they...

1-I would just like to thank Dan for resolving the incident this week about Post bashing and forum etiquette. Hopefully we eventually can go back to replying on posts but for the time being. If nobody plays fair then nobody plays at all rule shall apply. 2- And also thanks for creating the...

Just watch this guy. :-)

Well, we braved the elements today at Stonebridge. Tee'd off at 4:00pm. As soon as we tee'd off, it started to rain (pour actually). The marshall said this is your last chance to get a rain check. We said "no thanks". 4 hours later, with over 3hours of rain...mostly severe downpour, we finished...

Would you trade places with Eldrick Woods??? Please think a bit before answering.

Which of the following accomplishments would be the most satisfying to you: - A hole in one. - Shoot a career low round. - Improve upon your career best handicap factor.
