After my blistering 91 in round two of the Citizen, many would think I would be angry. But I'm not. I shot 91 because of three holes (9,9,8) and on two of those I didn't really make any bad swings, just got some bad breaks. 19 over for the day, fourteen of it on three holes. Aside from that,...

Aliens come to Earth and meet you on the golf course. They say that they'll enslave the human race unless you can hit a perfect shot with a full swing, right in the middle of the fairway from the tee. What club do you use? Putters not allowed, they wouldn't reach the fairway! The fairway starts at...

Here's a good article from Matt MacKay of Golf Canada on determining how difficult a course is. http://fb.me/YUxdYXcw

I am..... Mostly on the green though. I've missed 4 eagle putts in the last two rounds I've played. I think I'm having issues reading greens because my speed seems to be right on, but my line is always lip out or just beside the hole. I don't think I've shot better than 81 in the six or...

I had a request to enable User Reputations which I have always had disabled to avoid people getting upset with poor ratings. I looked into it further and the system has been enhanced with abuse prevention features that seem to have addressed my concerns. It has now been enabled and you can now...

So, out golfing this weekend with my brother. First round of the season and we're both a pair of duffers on our best days. My brother left himself with a long shot over the water for his approach on #13 Vieux Moulins. He shanks it left into the water, we both know it's a goner... but instead of...

Hey guys, Last year it was Tiger Woods online. But now that you have to pay for it maybe people would be more enticed to try out www.wgt.com. I signed up last year as I was not able to get onto the tiger woods beta try. This has had me hooked ever since. www.wgt.com

So I go out for a round yesterday. First hole I shoot a triple....nothing out of the ordinary. Then I go 2 over for the next four holes (despite a couple of penalty strokes). I follow that nice stretch up with a four hole, +13 stretch (no, that is not a typo). So, after 9, I am 18 over par. I...

Holy crap!!!! I just checked out our weather forcast and saw that it's -2 F up there, That's just depressing.:rolleyes Come on spring:-) and our golf outing:thumbsup

I've been wondering about this for a while, and haven't seen it discussed on here so I thought I'd start a discussion thread - if this is a repost, apologies. Why do we label people as "low/mid/high handicappers" when discussing which clubs are best suited to their game, when we rarely seem to...

I have an opinion on handicaps. Maybe I'm alone on this opinion, but we'll see when people start replying to the thread. My opinion..... In my opinion, someone with a handicap of 4 who is a member at a golf club, and pretty much plays there all the time, is not as impressive as someone...

Anybody have any thoughts about Tiger's statement that was reported on CNN last night on Drug testing for the PGA tour players? It was just a quick snippit but Tiger said he would like to see performance enhancing drug tests made mandatory effective immediately to protect the sport of golf. ...

No this isn't what male spectators end up with after being nailed in the groin by one of Tigers wayward drives.....some of the pros are using them at the FBR open. When I tuned in I saw one and thought I had just imagined it and then I saw another and eventually the comentators revealed that it...

After work yesterday, I went to Stonebridge to play 9 holes. Due to the weather and the very wet course conditions, the place was pretty much abandoned which was just fine by me. However, I was shocked at the number of un-repaired ball marks on the greens. I fixed no fewer than 5 ball marks on...

SO ... how did every one fair out at the outdoor range after this winter ? I went out today and was quite pleased with my swing no real problems and seemed to be hitting the ball pretty straight , even though i was using my back up driver :irked:

What's your wierdest round to date? This has to be my Jackal and Hide round since I've taken up golf... Yesterday at Kingsway Park, which is a wide open, feel good course...Typical weekend morning, after made some eggs for the kids and pleased the boss, I rushed to the course for my 8:20 am ...

That's what I can't hit right now with my irons. Played yesterday and, as usual, hit the driver beautifully. Missed one fairway on the front, and two (just barely) on the back. Total GIR for the round was two, or maybe three. I stopped counting on the back nine. AAAARRRRGGH! The guy we...

Hey everyone, can you suggest some good Canadian sites to purchase clubs and equipment online? I don't mind using ebay but have been stung a few times with UPS's custom's clearing fees and wouldn't mind ordering some stuff from inside the country. Thanks!! btw there are really no good places...

Geoff, you seem to be the biggest club hoe EVER in the history of this forum.. I would like to know every single club you have EVER owned even if you bought something at golftown and returned it 15 minutes later. Please group drivers with drivers (lots and shafts), wedges with wedges and so on. ...

Since joining this forum a few years back, I have met nad played with some great people. How many OG members did you play with this year for the first time (individuals, you can't say 59 on the forum fun day or 23 at the OG/TGN ryder Cup) :-) I counted them up and it comes out to be 45...

Someone recently told me that Moe Norman's clubs were all adjusted to the same lies. Can anybody confirm this?

I will be going to PEI and Cape Breton this Fall (Sept) on my honeymoon and we both plan to do some golfing. We are planning on playing Highlands and Bell Bay in Cape Breton. Then in PEI, we plan to play Crowbush, Eagles Glenn, and Mill River. Has anybody played these courses this year? How are...

That's a really COOL chip! Photo from promotional material of Golf sur La Banquise (Rimouski Qc.)

I was thinking about purchasing a new driver this year. I've been to golf town way too many times hitting every driver I possibly could. I like the titleist 910 D3, however if im going to purchase such an expensive item, is it worth getting a trackman analysis done? I'm a high 80's, low...

The location of the hole on the putting green is not a matter covered under the Rules of Golf. However, when setting such locations, various specific points should be considered. There must be enough putting surface between the hole and the front and the sides of the green to accommodate the...

My favourite golf tournament of the year is upon us. The reason the " U.S. Open " is my favourite, because it's the toughest tournament of the year, on the toughest course of the year. My top three picks are: 1.) Mike Weir - Double Major Winner in 2003 ? 2.) Tiger Woods - He's got Game ! ...

I'm curious what type of music would be in your cd/tape/8 track in your car on the way to play golf. For me either Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson or Steve Earle depending on my mood. Anyone.

I have worn progressive lenses for some 8 years, and golfed with them. However, I got new prescriptions this spring. The distance part is stronger, the reading part is stronger, and the prism (for double vision) is more pronounced. Now, every shot is fat or thin. I don't seem to be able to...

So I stayed in SF which wasn't the greatest golfing weather but was good enough. Man I don't know what I'm going to do now.. I can't wait until april to golf! I played Persedio, what an amazing course! Nicest course I've ever played, it was beautiful. I played 3 courses, $25, $25 and $35...

So, I played Pakenham today and had a lot of wind at my back on all three of these drives. First drive I'm was standing at the tee box 486 yards away from the hole on a par 5 with the wind at my back... it must have been a good 2 club length wind so I decided to hit my driver as hard as I...

I'm pretty new to the game, was playing at Gatineau yesterday and left my wedge on the 14th green. I realize it on the 16th, run back and ask the group behind us if they picked it up - no. Keep running, asked the group behind them - no. Get to the 14th green... not there. What's the general...

A grand total of $750 to spend in GT gift cards. Quite a haul! (I also happened to turn 40 a few days ago so alot of people were feeling downright sorry for me I guess)... The problem is, I have no idea what to spend it on. For the first time in a long time I am happy with what is in my bag. ...

Just saw on another forum that Moe Norman passed away last night from heart failure. He was at his home in Kitchener. This was from Tim Graves who is very well in the know. I just wish I'd been able to see him play.

Apparently GOLF DIGEST does not know that our Canadian Loonie is worth more than the US Buck. I recently got my notice in the mail to renew my subscription. $38.46/year, a savings of 46% off the cover price. So I go online to renew and find out that US subscribers can get one year for $14.97,...
