How many of you carry more than 14 clubs in your bag?

This morning was the first time in a while I was up with some time to kill and after watching golf central I wish I would have slept longer. I can't stand Charlie Rymer wow. Am I alone on this one?

FYI. Brooke Henderson from Smith's Falls, today won the Junior Orange Bowl Championship in Florida, by 5 strokes and finished the four round tournament at 4 under par.

Anybody manage to install this using Vista. 1) Install the desktop (OK) 2) Connected the SG4 (OK) 3) Upgraded the unit (OK) So the unit is talking to the computer (step 3) When I try to use DirectConnect I get the message: "Your SkyCaddie could not be found"

After promising myself I would do it by the end of this season,and trying all summer I finally broke 100 today, at the Mapleview Golf Course in Perth. Pulled off a 98!! Now I can finish up my season happy. Next goal........breaking 95!!!!:-)

Can I waive my right to count a round towards my handicap before playing it? Here is my situation: I am supposed to play Oaks of Cobden on Sunday June 6 2010. I'm pretty tired from playing 3 rounds this week, and i'm playing Greensmere Saturday. I have never played Oaks of Cobden, and I...

As you are all aware I do my share of buying, selling and trading. I love it, but I can't help but notice the amount of activity now. It's like Nascar and we're in the final laps.. I love it.. people are changing up their bags and moving all kinds of gear.:P

Does anyone keep their shot stats (yes that is a redundant ?). I would like some advice on good programs that keep fairways,greens,putts etc. thanks in advance Gord

Played a round today and it was one of the first with very calm winds (for my course anyways). A fellow forum member was kind enough to ship me one of his drivers to try. Its a Nike Ignite with a Harrison Pro 2.5 Titanium 70 s-flex shaft. Now here's the kicker, its a Lucky 13*. I figured...

Mine is a joe louis and a pepsi. It goes down so smooth. Slight nibble on the joe louis, big swig from my 2L plastic bottle. I also like to listen to Kenny Loggins as I golf. Have resorted to wearing my IPOD while I play. Focus is amaizing when Kenny is belting away!

Clublink has just acquired the Bond Head golf courses in Toronto. http://www.theclubatbondhead.com/thecourse.html

Just imagine how good Tiger would be if he could hit the fairway. I read somewhere he's using a 5.5* driver. Crazy. I think giving up 10-15 yards for accuracy is worth it. In 1999 and 2000 he averaged over 290 off the tee and was over 70% for fairways hit over the entire season. Since then, he's...

2nd guy is always better than 1st guy:) How do you duplicate the 2nd guy's mindset?:hissyfit:

What are some of your thoughts about having a couple of beers in your bags? Im not talking about a case or getting stupid,but simply "a couple" I sometimes see others hiding beers from groundscrew as if they are breaking some sort of rule? Is there a no booze policy at courses(except from the...

Jarred Perl (formerly starvingstudent) is now moderator her on our forum! Remember folks, he's new at this so go easy on him :laughing: Thanks a lot to Jarred for helping out. We really appreciate it! :thumbsup

Just got back from a trip in MB. Weather was great, except for a rainout on Friday. We played 6 rounds, Long Bay, Waterway Hills, Legends Moorland, Shaftsbury Glen, Wachesaw East and International Club, the rainout was supposed to be Myrtlewood. The conditions were excellent. It was fairly...

Has anyone heards the scholarly TV commentators make the claim that the best spot on a driver club face to maximize distance, is above the center of the face? Considering that a 10.5* driver is 13* at the top of the face and 8* at the bottom because of the built in roll, I wonder if any of them...

I'm looking for other Ottawa Golfers opinions on the local Private Golf Club scene around the area. I know that Ottawa Hunt Club, Rivermead and the Royal Ottawa are great courses (If you can afford the Initiation fee), but I just don't have $50K buring a hole in my pocket. Has anyone had a bad...

It's official, I am the choke king <sigh> another decent start foiled I think I've shot 90/91 five times in a row now. It's getting old... I must be aproaching a break-though round, there's optimism for ya :)

I started this thread because i'm curious what clubs/equipment people on here carry in their bags? I would say to make this easy... what type/kind of bag what irons (include grips shafts and adjustments if you wish) what wedges putter woods and hybrids driver

This should be fun!!!!! If you could choose the little sub-title under your name, what would you choose? And feel free to make suggestions for other people too (in good taste!)... Don't know what I'd choose for myself yet, that needs some more though! :book

Has there been an ettiquette thread lately? This area really angers me espcially when I play on a course that players should know better; Eagle Creek, Hunt Club, Le Diable, etc. Anyways I am tired of seeing ppl not take the time to either fix a divot, rake a bunker, take the right club when the...

I'm playing match play with dan while in ottawa and wanted to know.. any pointers? tips? Is there a stratedgy you use? differen course mgt? Also, since I've never played match play before.. are there different rules? Any disadvantages to just going out and playing the way you normally play...

PAR 4: 272 yards from the white (Anderson Links, hole# 16) If the group behind you, lands their balls 3-6 feet outside the green while you're putting, would it bother you ?

Get your picks in, folks. This is a 5 day event with the first tee times this morning.

41 on the front nine, 34 on the back nine.:wallbash:wallbash:wallbash

What is the golf book you ever read? For me Golf is Not a Game of Perfect: by Bob Dr. Rotella- ranks way up there.

Has anyone played in Vermont or New Hampshire who could tell me where to go or not go. Thanks.

I know that the MDF rule was intended for large fields (usually pro-am events like Pebble), but why is everyone at 140 this week at the Sony Open marked with MDF? There's a note at the top of the leaderboard page that this is a new rule this year... weird!

Just announced !

What putting drills do you use and to fix what problem. Funny that all we talk about is full swing mechanics and driving distances. PGA tour stats show that putting, especially inside 10 feet, is a must to win. Look at tiger for instance. If it weren’t for his amazing putting abilities he would...

You know, I loved the first one. I liked the tension of the girls at the end of last years big break. But I have had it!!! According to their own website at the golf channel, tonite is "all new". Further they add "Intensity reaches an all time high!" It is a rehash!!! every friggin episode...

During yesterday's broadcast of the Houston Open, Johnny Miller said something like "I know most of you guys watching would give your pinky finger to play at Augusta." Well... would ya?

Played 18 today. Front 9, 19 over par. I've played poorly this year, but that was a new low even for me. Back 9 I start off with a double, then a par, then a bogey, then 4 pars and close with two birdies. One over. My best 9 before today was 44, today was a 36. Unfreakingbelievable! Biggest...

I'm a beginner and not sure how to measure my handicap. Can anyone help?

Dan Is there any chance that you could interchange the "Mark Forums Read" and the "Open Buddy List"? So that when I miss click with my mouse, while going for the "Today's Posts", I don't lose all the latest posts. Or maybe for April Fools you could add "Log Out" links around all the most...

For any of you heading down to PEI the end of July, you might want to take in this event. Making the Connection golf event to be held at Crowbush Cove. If its the same as last years Nicklaus vs Watson event at Dundarave (PEI) it aired on Global TV two weeks after it was shot and editted ......

If I know the person, or if he/she is recommended by someone I know and trust, I have no problem with it.
