I finally got under par at SOME POINT in the round. Never started birdie birdie. Heck I never get birdies let alone 2 of them let alone in a row. Just thought I'd share; it was some par 3 course but still. Ever gotten back to back birdies to start around? Also albeit short; being under par in...

Im playing with only two woods now........................................................ the left wood and the right wood:-) :-)

The OG heli-cam finally made it's golf course debut... The Meadows was looking dapper this morning, draped in it's coat of fog.

How can this happen? I shoot a 79 at Outaouais yesterday and shoot a 99 today.:wallbash.. I usually shoot mid 80's. I know I sucked big time today but it just has me baffled. I was lousy off the tee, and lousy around the greens. No 3 putts though!!:banana Has this ever happened to you?

Anyone else see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu3OIT7mxDQ&feature=player_embedded

Know anyone going the 2006 Re/Max Junior World Long Drive Championships in Fort Worth, Texas (July 13-15th)? A 18 year old Grade 12 student from the BC interior (Matt L) is heading down there. His ball speed has been clocked between 182 and 188 mph with a regulation driver. He's very tall...

Morning Dan, I've been away so I may have missed this info. When will the 2007 handicap page be available. I just went to it and see last years stats still there. Do I just keep adding on or will there be a new page for the current year? Also, I recall last year you surveyed on handicap...

For all the guys who bought tickets for the 2007 President Cup in Montreal, the dates have changed to 24-30 September. Also, you initial order is no longer valid and you will have to re-order! I got a phone today from the PGA Tour and because the dates changed they suspended/cancelled all...

Just wondering if anybody else is planning on going to this event in Montreal? I just picked up my tickets this morning for the Sunday single matches. $75 US per ticket. Not too bad. They have some week long packages for $200 and $300 with prices going up in 2006 apparently.

I had a brief thought about heading up to Augusta, Georgia to see a round of the upcoming Masters Golf Tournament in April. It is only a 6 hour drive from where I am currently located, not bad. That is until I tried to locate a ticket for the day. - 2 tickets for the four day tournament -$5000 -...

With Spring just around the corner :banana, it's that time again to ask... What are your goals for the upcoming season? With my limited playing opportunities, my goals are... To have SERIOUS fun, and enjoy every round. :-) Lower my index by at least 2 full strokes. (from 6-ish to 4-ish)...

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

That time of the year again. Set some goals, and then do whatever you need to to accomplish them. Ohhh, so excited! The main thing for this season is to get competitive. - Play at least 5 competitive (entry fee) tournaments and contend at least once. - Win club championship (on paper this...

Just got the email a few minutes ago - had to log in to see if I was selected as a purchaser of Thu-Sun tickets for next year. I didn't... but I'm still in the running for practice round ducats, as we all will be. I'm curious to see if any Ottawans in these here parts got the nod or not... ...

Just watching the Golf Channel and they said that they are releasing a limited number of tickets to the 2012 Masters with a random selection of people who apply. Both practice and tournament rounds are available. Go to the Masters website to register! I just did mine. Fingers crossed.

Birdied #5 at Prescott on both Saturday and Sunday. Guess I'll start it this year seeing as NoKids still has yet to get one this year :redface. I'll even steal his format: 3rd annual pledge to charities. :smash $5 for birdies, $20 for eagles (or pick your own amounts to give). Last ...

May as well start this now. I have 3 goals. Handicap factor back under 13 ( Now 15.9 yech) Personal best was 11 - 3 years ago. Play more. Not enough rounds in 2012 - see above a) Play in the Intersectionals b) Score points for Manderley

Well I finally decided to throw my name in to get tickets this year. My wife had been doing so for some time and stupidly I never did. I did not get any tournament days but managed to get the Wednesday practice round which includes the par 3 contest. I am very excited and my wife will accompany...

2020 Odyssey Toulon and Scotty Cameron Putters available now - and they're awesome Feb 23, 2020, 07:44 PM Certain putters are like works of art. Yup, they'll help you get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes - but they almost belong hanging above your fireplace, rather than in your golf bag. Two...

Anybody else thinking about going this year? The last time I went was in 2010 when it was last at St-George's. My son is 15 and very much into golf now. I was thinking about going with him.

If you've ever been to the 19th tee past 9pm you would have noticed that they have these huge lights on the driving range that help you see your ball when its dark outside. I was playing a course in toronto and my cousin said "why don't they just put lights down the fairway so you can finnish your...

Well, the season is closing in because my course (King's Forest in the Hammer) had it's last tourney this weekend. And what a fun format it was. It was a 27 hole 2 Man scramble, but each 9 the format changed. The first format was the most difficult being Alternate Shot. Player A hit off all...

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

sad but true - im playing casselview today and its only my 2nd round of the year........last year at this point i'd been out at least 12 times new house and reno's seem to eat into the golf fund.......come July its full force again!! i'm in orleans now - so if anyone has tues/friday off -...

Tonight, I'm playing my buddy a 3-club game. You can only take 3 clubs with you. We'll be playing from a tee deck that's 3167 yards. I suppose the club selection is dependant upon the holes and their distances. Here's the holes #1 - 432 #2 - 369 #3 - 346 #4 - 460 #5 - 203 #6 - 473 #7...

Watching the golf channel the other night, the Pro emcee was suggesting that it would not be that hard to par most golf courses using 3 clubs, a 7 iron, a PW and a Putter. The theory sounds fine, on a 385 yard par 4 hole, he would use the 7 iron twice with a typical distance of 150 yards a piece....

Hey y'all, CBC are showing Happy Gilmore followed by Bagger Vance followed by Tin Cup on Saturday night. It's like...golf movie night in Canada!!

Mine in no particular order: 1)Getting it close from a fairway bunker. 2)Getting a putt close from 40+ feet. 3)Breaking par at a full course.

3 golfers, 25 caps all around. What is a good score? 3 man best ball. Thanks

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...

3. The birth of my first born daughter 2. Hitting my thumb dead-on with a hammer while building my deck . . . . . . . .

I proved it again today after my round at tha Canadian.Have not been hitting driver for a couple of days now and after hitting 3 balls of the tee and comparing, i am getting more yards with my 3 wood than my driver.I have checked my swing speed and i am 5 mph faster with the 3 wood.Conclusion ,...

Can this be done? There are three of us playing on friday and all three of us want to play match play with someone. How can this be done? If I am taking my 3rd shot, FC1 is taking his 2nd shot and FC2 is taking his 4th shot then I'm stuck in the middle. Go agressive cause I'm down a stroke to...

Just wanted to know if I am the only person who hates hitting three quarter shots. The one part of my game that is really consistent is my irons. For the most part, they are always high, straight, and go pretty much where I want them....if I hit a full shot. As soon as I get between clubs I have...

This coming Tuesday, weather permitting of course, I'm golfing 36 holes in one day for the first time. Curious to see how many others have done it. I'm playing Sorcier early in the morning and then a twilight at Manderley. If the temperature is the same as today, I might actually pass out.

Just wanted to point potential golfers to this site. They have lots of used (to varying degrees) clubs and lots of brand names (TM, Callaway, Titleist, etc.). I bought a TM540 driver off there for $200 USD + $20 USD shipping. Total, including the exchange and taxes (PST and GST paid when you pick...

Has anyone ever played 4 ball match play for money?

Just out of curiosity; how far do you hit your 4 iron and how much of that distance is actually carry? When I hit mine most of the time it's quite deceiving as it never goes very high or carries that far then just seems to roll forever. Is this the same for you? I normally send mine about...

Hi guys, I detest my 3-5 Irons. 5 is ok, but below that it's rough (heck the 5 is rough too). I have a callaway steelhead 7 wood. Is the 7 wood essentially the same as a 4 or 5H?? I'm pretty new to golf so don't really know; basically w/ a 7 wood is buying a 4h a waste of cash?

Anyone done it?. My nephew just did an event in Scotland for Charity. Walking 4 different courses for 18 holes. I would just keel over and die :-) http://www.scotsman.com/golf/Golf-Four-rounds-in-one.5422560.jp

I'm wondering what is the advantage to getting a 4+ wood over a 3 wood? I'm looking for a new 3 wood. But my buddy said looking into a 4 + wood as well.

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.....

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.

Anyone here ever do any deals with members on the 4GEA forum? I can't seem to find any kind of "I/Trader" history on members there. I have emailed back and forth with the guy I am interested in buying from and he seems ok but after reading the stories about the WRX site I am worried about sending...

I have a 21* "5 wood" (I thought). A buddy of mine has a 21* 7 wood. Does anyone know what the standard lofts for a 5 and 7 wood are? Thanks
