I haven't been able to get out as much this year, but I did get a nice surprise when I recieved a club that I had forgotten that I had bought off a guy on WRX back in August. In previous years I'd be on the phone with USPS trying to find the club, but I wasn't even sure what I would find in this...

I'm sure everyone has seen that Titleist commercial (Pro V1). How do you mawk yo Titelist? (I tried to write it out the way the way it is said):lmfao How do you guys mark your Titleist? I put two dots on both sides of the number 1.

So i woke up this morning with the craving to go hit some golf balls... and then it hit me, since Ive moved, gotten a full time job, and joined a band my clubs havent left the storage locker since August... Man what happened to me. I went from buying more clubs than the average golfer goes...

Hey guys I just joined the site last week and love it... I am wondering if any knows or can suggest handicap indexing software or a site where I can get my handicap and track other stats like greens in regulation, # of putts, or fairways hit etc. etc.

So , i'm going to change my equipment this off season , and i'm going to get my clubs fitted for my swing characteristics. However , i fully intend to work on my swing over the winter which will obviously change the characteristics. My dilemma is when to get fitted. :scratchch The clubs i have...

with the fall specials being posted i realized the season is coming to an end. I've used the site year more than any year in the past to arange games with golfers I hadn't met yet, joined groups looking for a 4th and even to meet up with people with my shared love of golf for non golf related...

Just wondering if any one read John Daly's new book "My Life In and Out of the Rough", and what you thought about it?

I've been commissioned to design and build a single mini putt hole for a charity event and I'm looking for unique 'outside the box' idea's. Nothing too elaborate or expensive, but other than, that anything goes Any idea's, suggestions, or advice from past experience is greatly appreciated.

I played with a member at GH on Wednesday. This member played with only one arm. He had no right arm and missing half his left thumb. He set up to the ball like a right-handed player. He could hit the ball a decent length with his left arm. It was very impressive. My hat is off to this man who...

I played the Predator yesterday afternoon. Amazing weather for this September day. Anyway I played from the gold tees. At the 6th hole I hade 148 to a blue pin at the back far left behind the trap. Typical sucker pin. I hit a chocked down 8I to try to keep the ball bellow the pin and not short side...

I am looking for fun games to play at a sponsored hole. I will be hanging out at the hole while foursomes come through. We're looking for a side game to play at the hole to make us stand out. We were going to see who could hit a marshmallow the farthest but are now unable to host that game. Does...

Maybe a really stupid question but.... This is the first year I have really kept a real handicap and was just curious if I am supposed to carry these rounds over into next year or should I start fresh each year ? Does it make any differance, or what do you do...??? Thanks in advance

I'm just curious as to what others would do. Let's say you patronized a local golf store for a new set of irons, driver and bag. Next month you go to same store looking to buy a pair of shoes. You know what you want but you can only find them in size 11 or 12. You talk to manager/owner...

I am looking for a site that lists the names of PGA Tour caddies and their PGA tour player. I recently bought a Titleist 905R driver that was apparently used on the PGA Tour in competition. The seller claims to be the caddie of the PGA player who played with this club. He claims that his...

if 4 scratch golfers play together is there a way to guess what they should score? What if they are 4x2hcps? 4x8hcps? Is there a way to ball park what a scramble group of 2 or 4 would shoot? Should shoot?

OK, so I'm working on getting the index into single digits. The conventional wisdom would say "Work on your putting". But I tend to disagree. If you look at the PGA tour stats, the number one guy is at 27.97 putts per round and the number 187 ranked guy is at 30.43. Not a very big spread. You'd...

With my 85 today at Emerald Links I've broken into the 12's (12.9) for my Handicap !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo !!!!! :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-) Now just to stay there for the rest of the year and my first goal will be accomplished !!!!

Hi, I have a co-worker who lost a club this weekend, which was not returned to the clubhouse. Is there another site besides ebay, or ironfinder (which seems really expensive) that has a wide selection of clubs? LMK if there is any that I can't find. Thanks.

If anyone was at the Womans Open at the Hunt last month they may remember the putting competition for the Taylor Made carry bags. I was lucky enough to win one of these but have yet to see the bag. I was told that CN would be shipping out the bags that week. My question is, did anyone else win a...

Hi, I was tracking my own handicap on my home PC using computer software. I have always just entered the rating/slope off of my scorecard. I was recently on the RCGA (and via the handicap option on this site) and I am finding some ratings/slopes are different. An example would be the Canadian...

Well the title says it all. Come back to my buddy's car after playing a round, and find the windshield cracked from being hit with a golf ball. It was a direct hit, and spider webbed to about 8" in diameter, as well as putting cracks throughout the whole windshield. Spoke to management, they...

I am quite happy to say that after a long drought with no wins in club events etc that I made it back into the Winners Circle today. :-) I pulled off a one round event win by beating the defending champion by 3 strokes with a round of 76. Not my best but it was a decent round and a win is a...

Played Greensmere today and it felt like the worst round in my life. The funny thing is that I came into the round quite confident, though I had not played in a week. My previous rounds prior, I was hitting the ball solid. I could not hit a ball on the back nine, after a mediocre 42 on the front...

I tried logging in to see about booking a tee time somewhere for after work today, but the log in page won't accept my username/password. I tried the 'forgotten password' link, but the email it sent me shows the same username/password as I was using. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I...

So, long story short, I came across the obit story on Jerry Reed like this. A guy I work with is going to see Oasis tonight at the Bank, and I was wondering who was opening for them. So I did some searching on oasisnet.org and found out that it's Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, and there's a link...

What up wit dat?? :-)

41 on the front nine, 34 on the back nine.:wallbash:wallbash:wallbash

Good morning all This is my first post A small group of us at work have been golfing on a pretty regular basses Our scores can range from 80 to 107 Is there anyway we can play a tornement and have it fair for everyone? We've tried skins and dont really have enough pleyers to do best ball or...

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...

Since the summer is almost over, let's start this thread. Loch March #13. For those of you not familiar with it, #13 is a par 3 where the tee shot is all carry over water. One of the guys in our group is playing from the blues (170 yards). He hits the most awful slice in the world. For sure...

Does anyone know if LeGeant and LeDiable are in the rcga handicap system? I cannot find them in there.

I was playing our home course in Buckingham yesterday and saw the Grout Doctor red van.I have seen this van before at different courses and I know it belongs to one of the forum members.Just wanted to say hello and welcome.Can you tell me who it is?:)

Played Chateau Cartier yesterday, not well. On the ninth hole I was over the green to the left. I found my ball against the base of a large pine tree. No right hand stance and I though about trying to turn a club over and hit left. I was on tree roots but had a clear look at the ball. It...

Played in the Moxies Tournament at the Canadian on Monday this week, and I must have left my 60* TM Rac Fe302 on the side of a green...nobody turned it in. Which means it's likely sitting in someone's golf bag right now. I have turned in any and all clubs I have ever found on the golf course....

Anyone ever do this on a golf course (I've only done it with a video game controller in my hands) But I know somebody who has!

Hello, my first post. I'm looking for help, I haven't golfed in a few years. I have a set of older clubs that will do for now but would really like to replace my driver asap, hopefully today. I'm not looking to spend big dollars. Does anybody have anything they think I might be able to...

Has anyone tried playing a round or hitting balls after weight training? I did so last night and had totally no tempo and was constantly trying to clobber the ball. Lesson learned but was wondering if anyone else had the same experience?

Anyone else having trouble connecting?

BUT in a good way. With a solid 86 tonight on Meadows North/East from the whites I finally broke the 20 barrier on my cap and I've gotten it down to a 19.3 (first time in my 3 years of taking golf seriously to get it down below 20) :-) I just need to celebrate with other golfers who apperciate...

Although I have had several opportunities for this before, it finally happened for me. Today at Greensmere I had back to back birds. Not a big deal for most, but extremely satisfying for me.:-) On black 7 I had a great drive, hit a pefect 3 hybrid and then pitched the last 40 yards to 15 feet....

so i was reading about getting an RCGA handicap, and right off the bat i notice you have to be a club member to qualify? upon further reading, there's something about "Public Player Programs". can someone help me out here? can i somehow begin to do this? also, i belong to Gametracker and have...

a couple weeks ago my g/f ask me to make some trophy bases for the golf tourney she organized for the local veterans club. one of the old birds glued together some golf balls,painted and decorated them which i had to attach to the bases i made. anyways, as i was pre-drilling holes in one of...
