Forum: General Golf Talk

Hey guys, I'm a Clublink member from Ottawa taking a trip down to Toronto in July to do a little golfing. I was hoping you could take a look at the courses I planned on playing and give your recommendations for or against my schedule. I'd appreciate any other suggestions you may have. 1....

Picked up a couple clubs today at GT, and I've got to get them out to BC. Not sure if I will ship them, or take them on the plane with me....depends how many pieces of luggage I end up having. Anyway, I've never shipped clubs, and I was wondering if anybody has advice on the best way to pack...

We moved the forum server today and we are now running on the new system. Performance looks to be much better and all is working :-) On the downside we seem to have corrupted some of the images in the database, so please re-up your avatars if they are busted. Sorry for any inconvenience....

Just wondering which forum you guys prefer. Have been on both and they are mean at Toronto. :laughing:

who on the forum has the longest drive? post and be honest lol.:-)

What exactly are you looking to achieve in early rounds of golf? With courses just about to open, and likely not cutting their grass the first two weeks they are open + April showers further dampening the course, are you just trying to get swings in, or are you playing for a score? For me,...

If anyone is also a member at TorontoGolfNuts, they are running a 2018 Masters Fantasy League. Great Prizes! Link: https://www.torontogolfnuts.com/forum/golf-resource-forum/fantasy-contests-giveaways/2768224-tgn-fantasy-masters-2018

Does anyone bet of golf using these online betting sites? If so, which ones do you use?

Looking at becoming a member. Any members here that can give me some information? TIA

So... we are in to July now, the season is nicely on its way. How low have you gone so far this year? And.. well, how high? Has anyone surprised themsleves by shooting one of those great rounds that you can't repeat? I have been lucky to shoot between 78-84 in every round this year, consistent.....

So I went to the meadows today to play a round with my buddy Scott, Its only my second year, so my personal goal is to break 100... That being said, I play whenever I can, and practice at the range to try and get some consistency and confidence in my game... Today I shot a personal best of...

From what I have seen there are many options out there. I'm somewhat opposed to mobile versions, because I think it takes away from my mental focus. So, I'm torn between online and desktop formats. Also, I have thought about a personalized Excel or Database, but I don't think it...

We were playing medows yesterday and on the first tee my friend shanked his drive. He pulls out another ball and hits one right down the middle. I went to grab his first ball out of the water but it was sitting right on the edge so I picked it up for him. WHen I picked it up I could tell the...

A poster on another forum made a statistical analysis of the various aspects of the Tour pros golf games, as it relates to money earned in 2004. He used a correlation coefficient, probably Spearman's, to discover what part of the game is more important. Following are the headings that he used...

Simple question, I sometimes look back and think... what did I used to do before I started playing and honestly, I can't even remember. I think just just talked on the phone and went to bars and got drunk. Now i don't go out mcuh because my rounds are usually early rounds and I don't like...

Simple enough question If you won 500 dollars to spend on golf, what would you buy? You can pick more than one, as long as it comes in under 500 bucks. Personally, I'd get myself some cleveland wedges and spend the rest on green fees.

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...

Last year I helped my friend buy some clubs on eBay and I decided that I would get some as well if the guy would give me a deal for getting two sets. I ended up getting the RAC OS 2004. As soon as I got my clubs, before even playing or going to a range I went and got 3 lessons for $150. I went to a...

While there is more golf to be played yet, there are no more official rounds left in the year. So, how did your season go? Did you meet your goals? For me it was a great season, but the beginning of it was pretty tough. I started the season at 19.8, but by June 1st, I had ballooned all the way...

I have walked 90% of my rounds this year, versus almost the opposite last year. Wondering how many km's I'm walking approx per 18 holes and how many additional calories I'm burning. I guestimate I'm walking about 7-8 kms, not sure about calories. I'm trying to justify the burger and fries I get...

Loblaws has a deal for 20% off $50 Golf Town Cards. This is definitely a great deal, it's summer time and if you were thinking of getting some new golfing gear, now is the time! This deal is in participating Atlantic Superstore, Zehrs, Superstore, Fortinos, Dominion, Zehrs, Real Canadian...

Where does everyone hit balls in the winter? It seems as though Ben Franklin Dome is only open as a driving range during the week, 9am to 4pm. Well...most people are at work at that time. It is too bad that can't slot in an early weekend time or something. I don't really want to play on a simulator.

Seeing as the season is coming to an end, when do you hang em up this time of year? Do you play to the bitter end, only letting snow visibility prevent you from playing more? If you happen upon a fabulous round right about now, do you retire at your peak, aka Michael Jordan style? If...

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

As the title says, in your humble opinion, have golf purses gotten completely out of control?

I am thinking of joining Kanata Links (club Links). Anyone a member here or has played on this course? I would love to get some feedback on the course. Thanks, Muthanna

I don't get it. I'm sure dan will answer this very quickly but here is my guess. The club link members are to cool to talk to us and don't want us poor people to know they are rich... Kidding, actually I have no idea. Just curious

So i was buying something off torontogolf and I see something that I like. I didn't low ball the guy, didn't even make an offer of any kind. Just PMd him and said I would take it. So, I am supposed to go pick it up yesterday evening and I get a phone call "sorry depe, i can't sell it to you. ...

https://rpgolf.wordpress.com/2019/10/28/irish-hills-launches-indoor-season-with-three-golf-in-simulators/ :)

What would you guys say is the best Clublink course in the area? I vote for the Dome, but that's a very biased opinion.

Here is a great Ryder Cup style tournament. Canada vs USA in Myrtle Beach. For more details and to join: 2012 CAN AM Cup http://www.eatdrinksleepgolf.com/myrtlebeachgolf/CAN%20AM%20CUP.htm Space is limited.

For those with High Def service you should be able to catch 4 rounds of actions in HD this year on CBS, horray http://www.sportsline.com/cbssports/news/030705golf

I am looking for unique gift ideas for someone that has it all. My husbands birthday is coming up and I am having a hard time finding the perfect gift. He loves golf and I am sure that he has it all. Any ideas would be great! Thx

Hey all..... Has anyone in the forum come across any plans to build a golf cart........the riding type......either gas or electric? I think I will try and build one over the upcoming winter to keep from going stir crazy....... :silly

Royal Ottawa came in at 64!! Any other surprises on the list for anyone?? http://scoregolf.com/the100/2014-top-100-ranking/

Marshes, seventh hole. I hit a 295/300 yard drive approximately, on the right fairway leading up the green. The group in front of us was mostly on the green, parked beyond the green, but there was one guy who still had to chip on the green. He was ticked off at my drive, one of the best I've ever...

this is a General Poll..... curious to see how many of you believe the above is true becuase there are a few different ways to look at it.. i know wishtons theory says light shaft = more distance. but i believe this to only be true in certain circumstances #1. Hacker Senario

ok, so I am extremely happy with every club in my bag right now. I also have all the golf clothing I need, hats, rain suit, rangefinder, balls, new bag, etc. etc. etc. I have no time for lessons, practice sessions or a road trip, the latter which I would love but it ain't happening. I love...

Inspired by a thread on the GEA, I'm thinking of doing a Red Tee Challenge one of these days. For those not familiar with the concept, the idea is that you move all the way up to the red tee's and try to shoot a crazy low score. This of course only works if you don't already play the red tees. ...

Ok is he being ranked so high in the world because Bell is paying off the Sony rankings. Will he ever not choke in a major. I'm starting to seriously doubt his ability to grind it out. Is he a flash in the pan? The experts don't seem to thinks so. Personally I think he may be a Billy Andrade...
