OK, so they say he's Pat Perez's brother, but does anyone else think that he might actually be fundonny's long lost brother?

For those of you who have played with me, you know that I am always complaining about lower back pain. I have had this naggin pain for a number of years now and have followed everything the doctor has recommended with varying degrees of success. This past spring I finally convinced my doctor...

In need of a little favour. The Golf Town demo sale is happening next weekend and I unfortunately will be out of town without the chance to access a GT. I am specifically looking for an r9 TP 4 wood with fubuki shaft(preferably stiff but regular is ok too). If there are no 4 woods I would be fine...

I know that most golfers here are into the big game. Unfortunatly I don't get out much due to my little semi-retirement job. We built a mini-golf course in Creston, BC. Now that we are in our off season I have been compiling a list of mini golf courses. There is no way that I could ever play all...

It would appear that the US tax incentive program to get those old clunkers off the road has a few loopholes. The effect of these legislative gaffs is that you can, according to various news stories, effectively buy an electric golf cart in the States for free. The world never ceases to amaze...

In the spirit of some of the "Best of" threads that have been cropping up lately I'm wondering what everyone's best round of the year has been. I know a lot of you have posted not only Best of the Year type rounds, but Best in a Looong Time rounds or Personal Best Rounds. What say you?? ...

Last round i played at Meadows I hit maybe 5 shots very poorly and created some crater sized divots. One was in the tee box, a few on the fairway, and one in the rough. I wanted to fix my divots, but they exploded into a million little pieces and I can't collect enough of these pieces to fill...

Hey guys---when using the RM handicap system---why do you get an EDIT on certain games. I have about 7 or 8 and I have not changed the original entrys ? :confused

I pay extra to get Golf Channel HD, the network that is covering Thurs and Fri action from the Presidents Cup. However, TSN is picking up the Golf Channel feed and showing it exclusively on their air, while Golf Channel fills their air with crap like Top 10 shows and old Big Break episodes. Problem...

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. ...

I do not see a link "course closing" in the left menu bar yet, but the season is not getting any younger... So let's start a thread, your top 3 most memorable shots of the year ... so far. Mine are, and until I change my mind: 1. First bunker shot of the season, Malone #4 east. Directly into the...

Many of my rounds have been at least partially in the rain this summer, and was wondering what most people do in that situation. My regulare weekend foursome are out rain or shine (we don't mess around with lightning though). I noticed that we are often fairly alone on the course on the wet days,...

Anyways finish the par 3 16 hole got the par I'm now playing 36 damn got 2 holes to go 17 par 4 Time to...

I am wondering what it takes to turn pro. I recently played with a guy from work who schooled us badly! 21 years old,shoots a 75 at canadian. The greens were all punched,so we all missed alot of easy putts. I was completely amazed at the way this kid hits the ball! 300 yard plus drives.Drove...

Albatrossed <---- !?!? haha...4th hole east 9 at The Meadows, 470 yards. Anyone else in here have one? <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Had just played Rivendell yesterday (just outside Verona, about 30 minutes north of Kingston, lovely course if you're in the area) and got a call when I got home. They were calling to let me know I'd left my Bushnell Laser Rangefinder in the cart and it was safely put away for me. I hadn't even...

Since the recent golf storage fire at Kingsville Golf Club I have been putting together a list of items. Based on the what in my bag, drivers, woods, irons, tees, balls, range laser, copper bracelets, umbrella, divot tools, fancy ball markers etc i cant beleive how much i have invested. Knowing...

My #1 golfer of time will be remembered today on NBC at 1pm. 10 years since his death this October. :(

What is it with these people, they have this ongoing mission to make people feel as unwelcome as possible. I get to .... ....... this morning (name exempted because I'm gonna be the bigger person here) and I'm not dressed yet to play. I rarely drive to course in my playing gear. I had...

Suffered my first ever golf injury today. The drink cart cooler door slammed down on my hand! OUCH!!!! :lmfao It's gonna bruise up for sure and actually did affect my play afterwards. Can I sue the course? :-)

Lots of talk about long drives, and other great shots, but what about the not-so-good ones? I played LM this morning. Standing in the middle of the 15th fairway with 130 yards left to the pin. No wind. Perfect, flat lie. For me, that's a full PW. I set up to the ball, take my swing, and watch...

My father broke the shaft on his Calloway Warbird 4 wood today. As this club is a few years old, would there be any guarantee on the shaft? Thanks.

I'm off to Phoenix in November and the group is competitive. I'm looking for games for a foursome. I already have poker chips (vegas).

Not entirely sure how usefull this will be yet, but feel free to follow. :-) http://twitter.com/OttawaGolf

I don't know the cable carriers in ottawa but in toronto rogers has long said they did not know when they would add HD golf channel. Someone on tgn just told me today that the 546 channel is hd. I turned it on and sure enough the tavistock cup is hd. Now in my opinion the picture does not look...

I'm kinda sick of the game, i don't know what it is but the desire to play rain or shine isn't there anymore. I used to play in every type of weather but now find myself only playing in sunny but coolish weather. Did I play to much golf over the last two years?? 100+ rounds with 2 months still...

I just traded jeany1 a nickent driver for a 3w... and now have purchased the driver back and its not even been a week I traded someone a bag of balls for a putter and then turned around and traded the putter for a bag of balls.. I sold wedges for $150, used the money to put a driver......

September is here, let's get some predictions on how your golf season is going to end. Season best scores or an all-time best score coming???

What is the matter with Mike Weir? He simply cannot put together 4 rounds of golf. Today he was in contention late in the third round when he bogied the par three. He wasn't finished though. On the 18th he decided not to go the the par five in two. He then proceeded to hit two fat wedges into...

I have been suffering with I think Golf elbow all season. Most of the year I had it in my left elbow and I can say it is painful but not really during golf. In the last 4 weeks I now have it in my right elbow too and like the left again it doesn't seem to effect my game very much at all, in fact...

OK, so playing Loch March this morning and we get to the 11th tee. I tell the guys I'm playing with that the shot here with driver (we were playing the golds) is to aim it right at the tree that guards the corner because the odds of hitting it are small since it's only 3 feet wide. So what do I...

Since jvincent opened up the Sharpie colour debate, I thought that the time had come to run this poll again.... How do you mark your ball/Titleist?? I put an alignment line on mine with a Blue Sharpie I also put 3 dots over top of 2 dashes and one dot (Morse Code for my initials SG)

So you have just finished your round, and remember a few good, maybe great shots that keep you coming back. The question is if you could pick a single favorite shot that gave you the most satisfaction, what would it be? For me its a nice wedge, since it often saves you from a lousy approach, and...

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...

so sunday evening at kingsway i finally reached my goal for the year and broke 100. after 5 straight rounds of scoring between 100-103 i finally shot a 99, which could(should) have been even better except for a disastrous 1st and 2nd hole (7 over after 2) but i settled in nicely after that and...

Butch Lumpkin was born without arms. It has not stopped him from playing tennis and golf. His is a truly inspirational story. He's a 9 handicapper. By the way, would you be able to stick a tee in the ground without using your hands? He can. ...

if your drive is short (~200-220yrds) and with a good short game ?...Or it's just not physically possible ?

You know, its really unfortunate that the RCGA doesn't spend a little more time and money improving the Handicap calculator and provide more detailed statistics calculators and graphing. Since they have all my FIRs and GIRs anyways, it would be really nice to be able to break down things like...

i tried searching for this topic but the search function on here is not working for me. it gives me "no results" if i am searching for titles only. my question is about the online booking. I'm looking at the Meadows for tomorrow morning. It says green dots are available spots. So if i see...

That's right, Spackler has accepted my invitation to join the Mod Squad. :thumbsup Thanks Spackler, we all apreciate your help! :cool Now be nice to him kiddies. :-)
