Go to maps.google.com... type in 'pyramids' as your search term.... zoom down and look just to the right of one of the pyramids... Wonder if anyone has ever tried to clang one off the pyramid from the closest tee box...

Umm, can anyone tell me what the heck the 'digital barker' channel is? http://www.tsn.ca/golf/feature/?fid=10869

Does anyone know if the Golf Channel broadcasts in HD? Watching non-HD telecasts is super annoying, especially for tournaments that the GC has four round rights to. The GC website doesn't seem to tout it anywhere that I can find, but their forums make mention of it in a few instances - but...

It was on the 13th hole at Mont Cascades. Crushed a drive straight down the fairway, then followed up with an equally impresive 4 wood that ended up to about 20 feet from the hole. Step up and probably hit the best pressure putt of my life (perfect line and speed) for my first eagle :-) . Marc

Hate paying $100+ for a decent shirt in Golf Town... any suggestions for retailers (online or otherwise) where people can get nice golf clothing for decent prices?

Anyone esle catch Omeara on the Golf Channel last night chipping balls with the claw grip. Apparently he is now using this grip for putts and was demostrating how it can be used on short greenside chips with his wedge as well.

Is it possible to change your user name for this forum? I'd like to change from 4jag to 2jag or maybe even 1.5jag. Ever since I started using the DiMarco claw grip (not to be confused with the Calc claw). I'm making everything I look at. It's freaky - I cannot miss. I've even got my...

Got this via email... 4 nights/5 rounds from $105US/person Sea Mist Oceanfront Resort introduces the SIGNATURE GOLF PACKAGE A S L O W A S : SEPTEMBER $153 OCTOBER $173 NOVEMBER $132

I'm curious to hear other people's experiences importing used clubs from the US. There are some pretty good deals to be found on sites like Ebay but I know from my experience that on top of the exchange rate you get dinged with brokers fees, GST and PST when you get them shipped across the...

According to the Clublink website www.clublink.ca they will be making an important announcement on Monday. Any insiders or speculators out there? I have heard from good sources that the Predator course will be upgraded to gold status which means members can play Kanata Lakes for free. Of...

I'm heading to San Fran on business in a couple of weeks and I want to squeeze some golf in while I'm there. Can anyone recommend some good courses in the city? I already have a tee time at Harding Park (hosting the world golf championships in OCt.) and I've played Presidio, Lincoln Park and...

Had the very good fortune to play in the coors light maxim golf experience at Angus Glen last week. Words cannot describe what happened on the course that day but some pics might help.

Looks like the handicap services has been updated - hundereds of course have been added but Stonebridge has been dropped? Is this an oversight?

I followed Mike around Pebble Beach for the final round of this years AT&T Pro Am. Unfortunately there was not much to cheer about for Weir fans but it was a beautiful day at one of the most spectacular places on earth. I like the one of him sitting on his bag on the 9th fairway. He had to...

For those who have experience of officiating at pro events - Are there any pros who generally do not lift their ball on the green (providing they are not intefering with a FC) but simply play it as it lies?

I have my usual golfing buddies like most of you ,but the thing is that my friends are golfers that usually shoot over 100 (all 20+ hdp) and when i play with them i usualy don't play my best games(mid to high 80's) I don't know if it's just me being to relaxed and having fun or do you really play...

Something doesn't seem right with the ELO calculator: http://forum.ottawagolf.com/ladders.php?do=elorating No matter what the score is, the resulting ratings are always the same if the beginning ratings are the same and the winner of the match is the same. Also, the larger the margin of...

Set a new personal best and shot a 73 at La Cite (75 being the old one about 6 years ago when I was a teenager working at a golf course back home). I can now finally say I have grown up (A little :-)) Hit 8 greens (birdied 5 of them) along with 2 doubles, 4 bogeys and every putt rolled within 2...

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 ...

Entering into my 4th season of playing golf, I can't help but notice the fact that I've suffered more and more muscle injuries over the past few years than I have my entire life. I've also noticed that problems involving the back, hip, neck, shoulders, etc. are quite common among golfers. ...

Hey all, In light of the fact that the Canadian film industry is looking for help with movie ideas, (they recently hired a U.S. agency) and we like golf, lets help them by suggesting they make us a Canadian GOLF movie complete with moose on the fairway, Leslie Neilson in the announcers seat,...

Edmonton’s Riverside Golf Course boasts of a hazard like no other – bushy-tailed ball thieves. "No other golf course has really heard about it," apprentice golf pro Dillon Wilder said yesterday of the aggressive red squirrels. "It’s been going on for years here, but this year it’s getting worse....

What do you remember the most about the last game you played? For me it would be the 16 two-putts I had, plus a one and a three.

I was just wondering if we might possibly improve, even slightly, our driving if more of us wore a glove on both hands. I thought if it works well for race car drivers, baseball batters, and cyclists (to name a few), why not golfers. Wouldn’t a layer of leather on both hands be beneficial, perhaps...

Hey guys. Just wanted to put my new Youtube channel link out there. Let me know what you think. Any suggestions? Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexGolfGulik

Where would be the appropriate section to request purchase advice from other members. I'm looking for a new set of irons and want to know where to go buy them. I'll be looking to pick up a new set of Ping Karsten hybrid/iron set.

I'm not sure if this is the right section to make this post. In any event, does anyone know if it is possible to obtain the email address of a fellow OG forum member? If so, how? Regards, Andrew
