Forum: General Golf Talk

hey guys..... I was wondering if there is enough interest in doing an OPTIONAL skins game at the october tournament. I like playing with an added incentive. I thought $5 or $10 per peson. Anybody interested????

MADRID (Reuters) -- Greg Norman has forfeited his full U.S. Tour membership to concentrate more on his business ventures, including his course-building operations. The 45-year-old Queenslander could have kept his card going but he will not be fulfilling his mandatory 12 events in America,...

:eek: What's the story with the pillow case that Jose Coceres displays? Does he only hold it up after he wins or is it something he does after every round?

Wouldn't it be nice if all the golfers in the Ottawa region to stay away from golf courses that don't space their tee times properly. Everyone complains about slow play, but one of the biggest contributors to slow play is tee times that are only 6,7 or 8 minutes apart. If everyone boycotted these...

Is anyone brave enough that they are playing outside golf this weekend? I must admit to being a wimp & have booked a time at golf-o-max. :D

Searching my memory banks, it occurs to me that there were whiners at the last Canadian Open in Royal Montreal that thought the course was set up too tough. Is it my imagination, or does it seem to everybody else that this time, the course is set up too easy? spidey

All quiet on the Eastern front here apparently, so I thought I'd either regail you all with my poetry readings -- or start a new R&R thread about things that are good or bad in the world of golf. Rave- I was in Halifax last month and I saw what could only be described as the best practice...

Now that the season end is near, not that I wont be playing till it snows, I was interested in knowing where most of your rounds were played. What the conditions were like at your favorite courses. I played most of my rounds at Mont Cascades and was VERY happy with the conditioning of the course...

I know I don't have the quote verbatim, but I think the great Bobby Jones said, "Golf is played on a 5" course - between your ears". Perhaps Sean could give us the top 10 mental mistakes that amateurs make in playing a round of golf, with some keys to fixing them. spidey

Yup. :director Spidey. Who else?!? Congrats Spidey! A real postaholic! :cheers

I don't know where else to put this so this might be as good a spot as any. Love the new look of the home page Dan.

Now that the year is almost but over, let's see how many rounds were played this year. At the begining of the year there was a poll on how many times you played a year. Did you meet or exceed your estimates. Let's see .............

Dan, What's the status on Stonebridge for Links 2001? Will it be ready for an early Christmas present? lol:) Looking forard to playing it....you put Ottawa on the map in the online Links world, people loved Ottawa's Great 18. Stonebridge with breezy and difficult pins, I believe, will be...

From CNNSI "A rule change designed to keep viewers tuned to their televisions ended up keeping the foursome from winning any of the $300,000 that was on the line over the front nine at the Landmark Golf Club. Under the rule, a player who won a skin had to at least tie for best score on the next...

This guy is good! :noddin Sergio looked foolish (with a flash of brilliance) :bablefish Ernie hit the "Hail Mary" :dazzler1 but sadly, not enough David lacked pizzaz :tounge Awesome finish :bigcheek

Congratulations to Ian Leggatt on joining the PGA Tour! :director Great to see another Canuck doing so well in Q-School finishing tied for fifth.... Another test of endurance playing 5 of those 6 rounds in the 60's...after shooting 71 in the second round. Great work!!:cheers

Golf in December in Ottawa! :bigcheek Double digit temps :-) Get out if you can! :cheers

Here are the top five things to say after a nine-putt: 5. Hey, do you mind? I just had lunch. 4. You were robbed -- I thought your sixth putt was in. 3. Boy, that's the last time we let Balezebub set the pins at here. I never should have joined this god-forsaken hell-hole. 2. Good...

I invited myself to be Tiger Woods' pro-am partner for the Canadian Open. I break 90 sometimes, but my only par on this day was at the 18th. A big crowd turned out. Here's how bad I was: I sliced into a bunker on the par-3 seventh hole, fluffed my first blast, then grounded my club in the sand...

Tiger: :brownsung #1 in the world. Tiger played against himself. Even when he played poorly, it was by his standards. I get a kick out of him when he talks about how bad his swing is when he just laped the field. Phil Michelson: :sick #2 in the world. Hard to believe... Best Sunday choker...

Why isn't Mike Weir at the Williams Golf Challenge this weekend? Would Mike miss the opportunity to win a cool Million?:eek:

:party Its been pretty quiet around here since the snow fell. Anyway, just stopped by to wish everyone a Merry Christmas

I was surprised that no one has commented on the decision by the Canadian Tour to not make a stop in Ottawa for the Eagle Creek Classic next year. Lack of a sponsor was the reason. I sure enjoyed going to watch them play the last several years and hope that they somehow manage to bring a tour...

After looking at this web site http://www.savingsolutions.com/photo.html I took these golf photo at the Eagle Creek Classic 2001 http://www.saumure.ca/golf.html

Being new to the Ottawa area, I would like some input regarding becoming a member at a local course. I would like to join at a moderate price $1500 - 1700 if possible. Any suggestions.. Thanks

So what did you guys think of Ty Tryon's first event? I guess things can't be that bad when he did make it to the weekend!! :D I think this guy does have some great skills and should in time do very well with the big boys of golf. Also...way to go Big John Daly. Always amazes me he has such...

Hey guys and gals. I've been gone a few months, been so darn busy with school/snowboarding i haven't even visited this board in a while. I guess i'm aloud to be MIA since its winter :) Just wanted to say hi :) ps. Is it Spring yet? pss. Dan, i can't get the Ottawa Golf club link to...

I really enjoy watching this tournament to see other famous people attempt to play the wonderful game of golf...like ray Ray Romano, Kevin James and the usual Bill Murray. But...what bothered me was that the only pro player that got most of the TV time on Saturday was none other than Tiger...

Hey Dan: Any truth to the rumor that you will have 2 or 3 new courses on line this summer? If so I hope they are the ones I heard about as I play each of them a number of time a year. Won't mention their names in case the rumors are not true.

Is this opening this year? The clubhouse looks very very nice.

Did anyone watch the finish to the Buick ? It's good to see Olli win in the USA again. On the other hand the way J.L. Lewis choked on 18, I thought it was going to take a paramedic to take him off the green, he was shaking like a leaf.:crying

Tiger is out of the World Match Play event after just the first round. What do you think is wrong with him this season?

:director Mike Weir won over Paul Lawrie 3 & 2 in the world match play first round! Cary on Mike!

No not hockey even though we won there too. :D How about a guy who eagles his 17th hole on friday to finish above the cut line at the Tucson Open. He follows that up with a -7 and -8 on the weekend to win by 2 shots. Congratulations to Ian Leggat with his first win on tour. I'll bet he'll...

NANDO Sport Server: Woods was promoting the release of a video game that bears his name and likeness. Tiger Woods 2002 He played against 7-year-old Donnie Jerina, from Greensburg, Pa., and 10-year-old Scottie Marsh, from Alcoa, Tenn., who both suffer from life-threatening illnesses. The...
