Forum: General Golf Talk

Becoming a pet peeve of mine... where clubs post their yardage signs at the tee box. There is absolutely no consistency. I've seen it posted at the Blue (back) Tees, and at the White (most common). There are some courses that mark their yardage from where the sign is posted (White) and others...

The good news: I finally shot my first round of par, from blues (6500) @ H.C. yesterday. My previous best score was 75 @ Greensmere black (6300) and 75 @ Hunt from gold (6800). The bad news: the universe needs to balance itself out so I can expect a few rounds in the 80's coming my way. Like...

I don't see a thread for this yet, so to follow up on the 2010 goals thread, let's post goals for 2011. I'm pumped! Mine are: - Handicap down to below 5 - Regular lessons - Two birdies in a row - In contention at my Club Championship - Win OG Team Matchplay again

I don't normally write these kinds of rants but without the feedback system anymore, I have no outlet and I am kinda ******. A seller had posted some kids clubs for sale - I contacted him, I made an offer, he accepted, and I told him I was out of town for a couple of days but could come by on...

Does anyone else here have constant issues with the Golf Channel reception wise on Rogers? Every weekend it seems to be horrendous!!!

I find on course temper tantrums by my playing partners to be quite hilarious as long as they are not destroying the golf course or cursing too loud. The self loathing that goes on after poorly struck shots is good funny stuff. The sarcastic,third person self-deprecation is my favorite. I find for...

whats the chances of getting a known counterfeit club retailer list stickied to the top of one of the forums for future reference for everyone? more and more people are asking about this site and that site's reliability...

...when you have a round of golf to play right afterwards! Just saying, I'm struggling at the office today.

50+ yr old trying to play centerfield like a 25 yrd old, trying to make shoe string catch and hitting the ground with a thud = fractured ribs = end of golf season ..... :grumpy: at least I can read about all the fun you guys are having

OK, I have to post this. If you were anywhere near the Marshes you probably heard/saw the very active thunder-cell that rolled over just after lunch. When I say active, there were multiple, very large lightning strikes coming down every 10 seconds or so. Who are the stupid golfers you ask?...

Looks as though my two main men are away this week. I need a shaft change done before Saturday afternoon! I also need a driver shaft to replace the current shaft. Can anyone help out??? Please PM me. Thanks!

Hi, I have seen software for iphone. IS it also available for android phone?

I work from home and nights are really slow so I decided to take out the camera and have some fun in the kid's play room. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81758606/ Don't worry, there will be many more long and slow nights so you'll most likely be entertained for another 30 seconds...

not to steal Kyle_B's thunder but ..... http://www.youtube.com/user/sportsrisq?blend=2&ob=5

The good: today, on the day of my 44th birthday AND my 20th wedding anniversary, I shot a personal best of 90 at the Gatineau (I am a 23 Hcp).:-) The bad: I tripled the 17th and doubled the 18th, so could have broken 90 (coulda, shoulda, woulda...) :redface The ugly: Since the Gat is not...

Has anyone else notice this practice at any other golf course.I play at various places and book tee times either on line or by phone and Equinelle wanted my credit card number to do so,never heard of this,in an era where credit card fraud is rampant and people are trying to do thier best to protect...

I am 19 years old, and I am spending the summer working on the grounds crew on a course in BC this year. I am having a lot of fun, but i was thinking to myself that having a job as a caddy would be my dream summer job. Is there anyone out there that knows of any courses that offer jobs as caddys....

I started the back nine at Rivermead yesterday, birdie, birdie, par, birdie, birdie and shot 42-37 = 79. (I have never been the most consistent golfer).

Hi fellow golfers, I was wondering, should a golf course be honest and tell you they are punching their greens before they let you book a starting time, or should they be allowed to say nothing,let you show up and expect you to play and pay full price? Your thoughts?

I'll be playing this weekend in a foursome with quite a range of skill level, and wanted to get idea's for a game in which the wager will be who buys the beverages at the end. The skill levels are the following: Player A - 9 hcp Player B - 25 hcp Player C - 35 hcp Player D - Just happy...

OK, so here is today's round summary from Stonebridge. Front nine: Bogey, par, birdie, double, bogey,bogey,bogey,bogey,bogey: 43 with 16 putts, one GIR. Back nine: Birdie, Birdie, double, par, double, birdie, par, birdie, par: 35 with 12 putts, five GIR. So, on the day I had three doubles...

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...

I have added a new forum in the Classifieds Local Deals where you can post about sales and specials offered by Ottawa Area golf businesses. This section is not for arranging sales of coupons or 2 for ones. No direct sales are to be posted in this section.

Just looking to find out about some local golf tournaments to join from now until the end of the season. Another excuse for getting out on the course!

Gropper, myself and two friends are playing Rideaview tomorrow and we want to play a skins game. Course handicaps (slope=125) for us from the blue tees are: Chris=7 Reza=15 Player 3=14 Player 4=29 Do we just play with Chris as scratch and us as net difference in course handicap?

If you're a member at a registered RCGA course and keep a handicap, should it not appear on the Golf Canada website or the Golf Association of Ontario site?

I 3 putted at least 9 greens today...just couldn't get the speed. It wasn't a banner day tee to green other than in consistency, I was keeping the ball in play and was on or on the fringe on 12 holes. If I had have held the putts to 2 on every green I would have broke 80 for the first time. Now...

Never been there. What should I expect ? How far from Gatineau in time ? Thanks!

In my first 5 rounds at Maple Ridge this season, my average score was 99. Today, I shot a smooth 40-46=86! My best ever in Canada.

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 :)

We got 2 Canadians (Kent & David) in the finals for The Big Break. Anyone else watching?

Hey, I would just like to know which golf courses offer the best twilight rates for tee times after 4-5PM. Let me know. Thanks.

Just picked up this driver off Ebay, what a difference over the stock VooDoo. The VooDoo has a mid trajectory boring type of flight, the Diamana has a high trajectory and just seems to carry forever, huge difference in carry and I hit the ball straighter to boot. Lovin it:-)

Don't forget to close your threads in the For Sale section after they are sold.

In regards to the RM " Buy 2 Rounds for $59 " Does this apply to any course? For instance. If I wanted to buy this and go to the Marshes twice?? Rather than paying the $60 each time through my RM membership I could just buy this coupon and go twice for $60 ?? Obviously I would have to pay extra for...

What's best for this sort to delivery (Canada Post or one of the courier companies) and what sort of $$$ we talking to ship a set of irons. Thanks.

Has anyone on here ever had this many? Or even heard of such a thing? I fired a 90 the other day, hit %50 fairwars, %50 GIR and had 46 putts. I don't know what to say. I had 10 3 putts. One of which was a par on a par 5. I think I had the yips. I'm going to take a break from golf for a little bit.

Im driving down the road on Friday and have my hand out the window with the window down when all of a sudden a car coming the other way manages to kick up something that was on teh road? (I am unsure what it was) managed to jump up and hit my hand cutting me wide open and gave me 4 stitches and a 6...

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...

played the west and north course at the meadows today and they were in great condition. There were some tight pins, but the greens were nice!

So I am playing the 13th hole of a beautiful round yesterday, standing 125 yards from the pin on a 340 yard hole. My playing partners are waiting by their carts beside me in the middle of the fairway as a ball comes zipping by my head !!! I was only a few feet away from being hit in the head... We...

Going to get my first full lesson with Graham Gunn today...hopefully he can set me in the right direction so i know im practicing the proper technique! cant wait to listen practice and learn!
