Forum: General Golf Talk

Booked a twosome for late afternoon on Tuesday at Manderley. Any way I can add a third online or do I have to call?

I don't get it. I'm sure dan will answer this very quickly but here is my guess. The club link members are to cool to talk to us and don't want us poor people to know they are rich... Kidding, actually I have no idea. Just curious

So after the thunderstorm passed through Kanata around 2:30-3:00pm today, I decided to head out to Kanata Lakes after work at 4:30pm to play a round of golf. Told myself that as a single, I should be able to get 18 in. funk-like and myself did it on Wednesday as a twosome. So I thought.... The...

One formula has a golfer estimate the average distance that his or her 5-iron shot will travel — an honest average, not the ultimate 5-iron — and then multiply that number by 36. If golfers were realistic, that would put most in the 5,300 to 6,300-yard range. More...

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 ?

I was golfing today. That is all.

Anyone know of a good one? I don't mind paying and I am looking for something more than just an excel spreadsheet. I remember several years back Golf Digest had a good program that tracked everything and it was a great interface to use but my dog ate the diskettes (yes, diskettes!)

So for handicap.. what do I enter if I only played 16 holes

Well folks dear Indio had his first golf lesson tonite, and in his own words "its a xxxxx to learn how poorly I have been swinging the club all these years" The unfortunate part is now I know why I have been playing like I have over the pass two years, HE"S BEEN TEACHING ME :wallbash

It seems to me that every weekend thus far that I have planned to play it has rained OR it has been like 10* outside. (Still have gone, but have not liked it!) Then during the week it is 20*. This is bull****! I want summer to be here..... NOW! Hopefully it is not going to be as wet as last...

Driving my wife to work this morning the car in front of us had a "square dancing" graphic on the license plate. You know the ones with the picture to the left of your numbers. I have seen Loons,sports teams, veterans. All of those I understand but how the hell is there a square dancing graphic and...

so i went to play golf with rezadue. I shot a 94 and then we decided to play again. I then shot a 92. Before I teed of for round 2 bg458 called me and asked me if i wanted to play so obviously I told him to meet me there at 3pm after after my round with rez (3 rounds in one day). I started the...

This is pretty neat. DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you do not read the bottom until you have worked it out!

When.... not if I win 30+ million I want to build the ultimate golf AND country club. I want to bring back the country club feel where people stay for the day not just 4 hours and out. Here are some of the things I would like at the CLUB. Oak lockers in locker rooms A pool to hang at after...

As anyone who's played with me knows, I've got quite the arsenal of these in my bag. I added to the list this weekend at Manderley on Saturday. I was playing with Bobjones59 and it was just the two of us in a cart, so we were playing quickly and the foursome in front of us generously let us play...

Very very long story but I don't have any irons right now.. So looks like for Mens night tomorrow I will go: Driver 5 wood Hybrid 50 gap wedge 54 sand wedge 60 lob wedge Putter Should be an interesting round.. glad my course is short.. :-)

Well we had our first men's night at Greensmere tonight and what a way to get going on a beautiful night. There were two hole in ones which were both firsts for both guys. Gord Collyer had one on #5 black, which was a perfect shot and one bounce into the hole and on #3 black Barry Goodman flew...

Played Mon at the club with some of the members and shot my best round of the year, a nice and tidy 74. Get to the club today, feeling good about my game, start off with a bogey....no biggie. Then a trend starts for the day. Chips always coming up just a bit short and then just missing the putt for...

and you could only save one thing from the bag (give a reason), what would it be? For me it would have to be cg10 52* wedge. that thing has bailed me out of so many messes. i don't think i could even play a round without it in the bag, it just gives me so much confidence just knowing its there...

There was an off-topic subject in the Match Play Ladder thread that I thought would be interesting to bring out. Leftyluc's opponent forced him to make a 1 foot putt to win when leftyluc had been conceding 2 foot putts all day. To me that is just strategy, not bad sportsmanship. If a...

I have always had this idea of putting a barrel or something just off of the 18th green so that golfers could donate there balls after their round. The course could collect the balls and sell them in the club house with some of the money going to charity. Sure it would take some work and you could...

So I'm sure most of us remember my displeasure with the shipping costs of Canada Post.... Another CP story to share. I noticed on the TGN site that Jeff Swain, owner of the Swank Golf Shop in Markham, can put a custom finish and paintfill on Studio Select putters. So I decide to send my...

This is my personal best so far.Just completed 4 separate club sales in 1 hour in Ottawa with some of the finest people on this forum.All the sales went smoothly,no waiting. Thanks to all.:):):) (is this something I should be proud of?)LOL.

What are the coolest markers you have seen on a golf course. When I was in Virginia the 150 markers where bird houses on one side of the fairway. They where swallow houses and the birds where all over the place. Haven't seen any cool tee markers live and in person but a few cool ones on tv.

How much advertising is to much on a golf course? Happened to stop on the nascar channel a second ago and noticed that it is one huge billboard. There are sponsors on everything, including a sponsor for every camera angle they have. So my question to you is what would you tolerate on a golf course....

Anyone else watch the first episode last night? Looks like it could be interesting considering they are playing for 100K instead of an exemption. The one guy from Oshawa looks like he is rather full of himself. Gonna watch a few episodes and see how it plays out before I make a decision as to...

Yeah, I know I know, this is lame... But.... I got my first hole in one today on the 18th at nation... I just had to share!

Ever walked up to the 1st tee (or any tee for that matter) and there in front of you is somebody teaching their partner/friend how to hold the club and swing ? Golf courses/pro shops should not allow beginners to even tee-off !! That's what driving ranges and lessons are for !! Don't take their...

OK, so we've been doing WITB (What's In The Bag) for a number of years now so it's time to change things up a bit and go with............. What's ON The Bag (WOTB) :-) I just got this back and I'm pretty pumped.......

Hi, I have a question regarding two stats. Up and Down? Does an up and down have to be a chip/pitch onto green and then a one putt? Is it an "up and down" even from 100 yards (say my 3rd shot on a Par 4) And what happens if I have mess up my first pitch and need to chip on AND then...

Does anyone know how to get free handicap tracking software? Or some website that keeps track of your handicap for you? I see a lot of options with $15/year fee, but must be a free one out there where you can just enter your score, slope, & rating. Thanks.

All last year I maintained my handicap information using the public handicapping utility on this website. This year I joined a club where they track handicap on a separate computer system. Do I start fresh on the new system, or should I transfer my most recent 20 scores from the OG system?

You guys up to no good again? I know you're desparate to win the ryder cup but cutting down the competition only makes us stronger:-) TGN has been down for 16 hours. (good job)

I've signed up. This Yoga centre is at 52 Armstrong in the Parkdale/Wellington area. Kim Ann is an excellent instructor and has helped me increase my flexibilty. Hey if it's what the pro's are doing it's got to be good!!! Yoga for Golfers with...

This is going to be so funny watching Charles Barkley correct his swing. Unfortunately I'm not set up to tape this and I'd really like to catch it. Is there some out there able to tape it for me? I'd really appreciate.

Great news... finally arrive on channel 853.

I tried to find this info online but can't seem to find it anywhere. What is the calcualtion for the 'scoring' of putts on the PGA Tour? I was looking at Tiger and Chad's socring this morning and it doesn't make sense to me... Tiger had 36 putts for 18 holes and it shows his putting...

Cannot find the instructions for leaving feedback on a purchase. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance

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

I was walking up Bank St. this morning and wondering why I was seeing all these flashing lights. As I got closer I saw it was T&L. The store was burnt from one end to the other, and the roof collapsed. All I thought of was all those golf clubs melting in the inferno:hissyfit:.. and of course that...

As of July 1, 2010. rounds of golf in Ontario will cost you 8% more due to the new HST tabled in the latest provincial budget. :rolleyes Might be a good time to consider buying multi-game packs, or even a membership to help soften the blow (at least for next season). :scratchch

Hey Folks, Just wanted to take a few lines of bandwidth to let you know about my little project. I am currently putting together a program for mildly autistic kids in the Prescott-Russell and teaching them the basics of the game of golf. I chose to passe along my passion for golf with these kids...

Not a misprint. There is actually a golf town closing. Downtown Montreal, on Saint Catherine street. Some good deals, demo clubs still there, closing end of March. It was just a weird feeling being at a GT closure.

Hi, IM looking for a couple of pro swing sequence video like Trevor Immelman and/or D Love III, C Howell III and others. Please let me know if you have any. I can give you an FTP address to upload the files. LMK please. Mike

This may be old news, but hey, i liked the Oilers when he owned them...of course there is a golf connection, isn't there always? By ADAM SCHUPAK Senior Writer The owner of Sonartec Golf, a hybrids and fairway woods manufacturer, was arrested March 11 by FBI agents on charges he concealed...
