I noticed that a lot of people on this board do a lot of travelling and playing all over the world. I'm wondering what courses have you guys played ?

I find the driver very inconsistant and have grown very close to my 3-wood (16 deg.), this is currently my "Driver". The distance from the club is awesome and very accurate. now, A typical driver is about 9.5 Deg. and a 3 Wood is about 16 deg. the distance between the two is maybe 50...

Thought I would share this one in case others have it. I've generally always liked somewhat bigger grips so when I regripped at the start of the season I put midsize grips on all my clubs. They felt really comfortable in my hands and I was playing really well with them. However, over the...

After posting a couple of weeks ago of shooting an 82 at Nevillewood with a bad left knee (bakers cyst) I started popping chondroitin and glucosamine pills like hershey kisses. My knee started to feel a lot better and my scores started to come down. I returned to Nevillewood on Sunday and shot a...

Interesting......I'd try it once for fun :P http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1752658-the-golf-board-lets-you-travel-a-golf-course-like-a-snowboarder-or-surfer

If you know a member can he get you on?? Does he have to play with you? Or does he just have to be on the property? Is it usually costly compared to public courses in the area that are compareable? Or is it cheaper? Huntclub for example, does anyone know how much it would cost me to play if I...

I notice some people with reach down and rip out some perfectly healthy grass, fling it in the air and observse its journey to the ground. I chuckle inside every time, wondering exactly what they think they are measuring, and how the are reacting to that measurement. Do people seriously gain some...

Lets say you are in the bathroom when they lock up... you have to spend the entire night at golftown (poor you!). In the morning the manager is so scared of getting sued that he tells you that other than the simulators and any Honma clubs you can take 5 things (set of irons is 1 thing, 1 fairway...

HOLE IN ONE Myrtle Beach 210 yard par 3 Gets better just ask me !!!!!! Cheers Peter

I've always had a problem with the padding inbetween the two middle knuckles on my ring fingers and was thinking of taping it so that it is less painful. Does anyone tape their fingers, and what kind of tape should be used? All I can think of is hockey tape, I'm not sure if there's a specialized...

Here are some pictures of the 18th hole at Kingswood Golf Club. Lasalle MB south west of Winnipeg. The pin was struck by lightning during the storm last weekend. Take cover when lightning is near. The golf course will always be there tomorrow.

I would like to know if anyone has to make changes in their swing when they are at the driving range hitting off a mat vs. Hitting off real grass ?

At first I thought it was a fluke occurance, but it happened again today. No need to name the course because it's not their fault. The first time it happened was about a month ago. We were stuck behind a tournament at a 7 hour pace. Every hole after the 2nd, we would be the second group waiting...

Played Manderley South / Central (par 71) and shot 81 with a birdie, 10 pars, 2 bogies. One double on the front, (39) but 3 doubles on the back (42). 10 Gir's, 34 putts and I hit 9 fairways (75%). The Birdie was on C5, the hole we call "The Widowmaker" which was the icing on the cake. Oh if...

Hi everyone, I'm currently planning a trip to Myrtle Beach with some friends for next year and we're starting to look at the huge list of golf courses down there. There's so many courses that it's difficult to choose! So what I'm looking for is your opinion of the following courses in Myrtle...

Sadly, the season is almost over. What changes in equipment do you want to make for 2007? Any general changes (play more, pay less, lessons, custom fitting, etc)? Personally, I'm going to try out a launch monitor for the first time, see what info I can get. If the new Wilsons hit Canada, I'm...

LEHIGHTON, Pa. (AP) - Sheila Drummond didn't need to see her hole-in-one. She heard it. Drummond, blinded by diabetes 26 years ago, experienced the highlight of her golfing career Sunday, recording an ace on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Mahoning Valley Country Club. Playing with her...

Had the very good fortune to play in the coors light maxim golf experience at Angus Glen last week. Words cannot describe what happened on the course that day but some pics might help.

:bigcheek Well folks, almost into september, so things will start to wind down soon(hope not), but everyone knows it can snow anytime now...so we see a lot of negative stuff here, therefore how bout some good stories...nice things, good rounds,great marshalls, cold beer..hot beer cart girls,...

OK, gotta get my one post for the month so my 'personal reminder' message doesn't pop up! :-) Having been a member of a club for about 12 years now, I was thinking to myself what to hell are the advantages of being a member at a local club.:confused I though of many, but none of them so...

Played Loch March today with NoKids and on the 16th green I holed my tee shot. From the blues the hole was 157 yards with the pin on the back second tier. Hit a 8 iron that landed 18 inches to the right of the hole and somehow ended up in the cup. Must be the Pro V1X magic. :banana Never thought...

Played, what I assume will be, my final round this season today. Given the cold weather, I decided to play from the white tees (approximately 6,000 yards). I'm going to make this really short - I had a great time! I shot a 76 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I wasn't looking for balls and had a...

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...

Has anyone read thing article? I have rarely seen and article in Golf digest that attacked someone like this. I was all for it. My take is that this woman is quite the cone artist. Fishy story especially when he compares her 16 hole-in-ones in 6 months to the PGA tour….. ...

Hello Fellow Golfers, I wanted to take the time to personally thank all of you that supported me through The Big Break. I appreciate each and every email, note, letter and words they mean a lot to me not as a golfer but as a player. I want people to understand that golf is just a game, but it is...

Ok this might not pertain to you, but it pertains to a lot of golfers in general. How many times have you hit the perfect driver, long & straight and walked to your ball to find it in an old DIVOT? I had that happen to me on Saturday and I was hacked. :irked: My course is a public course and...

If you could make one universal change to the game, what would it be? Anything goes. For example, I would change the stroke and distance penalty for OB. I think it's too punitive and time consuming. I would make it a drop and penalty stroke just like a lateral hazard. Remember, anything goes....

Holy Crap!!! I played Le Sorcier today and had a grand total of 43 putts. That has to be an all time high for me.....

Hey, I just played Predator tonight and I found something very funny. They just recently installed the yardage plates on the sprinkler heads (about time!) and on par 5's, from over 240-250 yds, the markers read "Go for it!". LOL!:lol2 I've heard also that one course out east (some place...

Here is a photo of one happy camper who is holding two new Vokey Spin Mills that he picked up for $99 each at the FGO Sale today. Nice meeting you today Jarred and I hope you enjoyed the show! :) I have some other photos that I will post later on under the FGO Sale Thread in the London & Area...

Heyfellow golfers, Does anyone know a great golf package with accommodations on site ? Cheers

Curious to see where the limit is for some of our hardcore members here. For just ONE round of golf, so driving to Floriday for three rounds for example doesn't count. Myself it was a drive to Belleville to golf with Frank.

I had an interesting discussion yesterday about honour in golf. For the sake of this discussion, we'll assume that a couple of bucks are on the line. Not a lot, just pocket change to spice things up in an otherwse friendly game. It was put forth that it is dishonourable to "call" a fellow...

What kind of player are you?

I am a memebr at the Clublink Greyhawk course and we just held out Club Championship. It took me more than 3 1/2 hours to play the front nine!! We were sent out in groups of three (an occasional fourth was interspersed). My question is this, at a low handicap, why does it take so damn long to...

Question for the golf gurus out there: I've been playing golf intermittently over the past few years, and last year, me and my bro-in-law were playing round almost every weekend. He's my main playing partner, as most of my friends/family aren't into the game. So my question is, is it wierd if...

Hi everyone... I have been to GT lately trying out several drivers and amd wondering what people think of the data provided by their computers... I am not a BIG hitter, but routinely drive the ball around 250 and a few time a round might get out to 260+... At GT, I have to swing out of my...

Not sure how many people have seen this - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW CANADIAN COMPANY RECEIVES RIGHTS TO STAGE RE/MAX WLDC, EDC QUALIFIERS LONG DRIVE VETERAN CLEVERDON HEADS UP

If you had your choice to play any one course in the world, which one would it be and who would you most like to play with living or dead? My choice would be Augusta National with Sam Snead(when he was young and in top form).

What is it about a golf course that makes us tolerate poor customer service more than we should? Stuff we would never tolerate in a restaurant or even at the Walmart. I have a particular course in mind (where I played a round this morning), but really there is no point naming it, because the...

Found this and had to share - Man how times have changed...

What are your goals for 2006,more games,lower scores,more fun ??? How are you going to achieve your aims ?? How about one resolution for everyone :Play Faster!! everybody wins with this one, courses make more money therefore more courses are built,and on top of that you play better golf...

I'll try to keep this as short as I can but thought it needed to be shared. I arrived at a local course (to remain nameless) around 2:40pm this afternoon. I chipped and putted (on practice green which is right by the first tee) for about 50 minutes. I mention this detail because it allowed me to...

I'm in Las Vegas for a conference at the moment, and yesterday I golfed the "Las Vegas National Golf Club". For a course that I had never played, I was happy with my 102 score. Par'd 4 out of the 5 par 3's. I thought it was challenging. Lot's of narrow fairways and tough doglegs. If you're...
