  1. Poll Poll: What to hit from 170yds out...

    On the idea of "distance claims" can we come up with a question that will give a more reasonable picture of distance. Let's try the following: Which club would you use if you had 170yds to the pin? Just because I know there will be questions: - no elevation change between you and the pin -...

  4. Red face pledge to charities - 2011

    2nd annual pledge to charities. :smash $5 for birdies, $20 for eagles (or pick your own amounts to give). Last year's pledge had 9 participants, we recorded over 200 birdies/eagles and raised over $1,000 for Canadian charities. Click here for the 2010 thread. I assume the same players from last...

  5. pledge to charities

    I pledge $5 for every birdie I make this golf season, and $20 for every eagle to go to a registered charity in Canada. At the end of each month, I'll tally up the birds, and make the gift.

  47. When does the golf season begin in Ontario?

    I'm an Albertan looking to plan a holiday in Ontario in mid-April (in association with a work trip). I'm curious if there is any hope to plan on golfing at the same time. I'll be in the Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston areas. Thanks for any local comments.
