Here's a scenario: Tough par 4, maybe 440 yards in length. Out of bounds down the entire right side of the hole. Trees and patchy rough down the left side (i.e. a ball hit left can be found and punched back to the fairway). Fairway about 40 yards wide. Assume no wind, so all but the gorillas...

Hi all, It seems like a good time to try to put together a Myrtle trip to break up this long and painful winter. Since I know that many of you have been before, I thought that I'd gather opinions on ways to book this trip. Here's my scenario: There will be 8 of us (two foursomes) heading...

Hi all, I will be heading to Myrtle in the next 10 days for a few rounds in the golf capital of the world. Has anyone played the following courses, and if so, what are your opinions of the tracks? 1) Myrtle Beach National - all three courses (South, West, King's North) 2) Willbrook...

Hi, Recently I purchased a set of second hand clubs with a lie angle 3* flat. I did some research before buying and decided the bend would be ok for me as I'm only 5' 7" and my wrist to floor is about 34". <!--><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75"...

I'm thinking about joining the Ottawa golf club. Was wondering if a lone golf member can join another twosome at a teetime or can you only book times in pairs or a foursome.

Any OttawaGolf club members want to play Wednesday mornings when season starts, any course. Shooting high 80's low 90's if that matters.

What can you say about a course that makes the best players in the world look like hackers. Mickelson and Stadler must be hanging their heads tonight.

I've been to two different courses this past couple of weeks and both times, through 18 holes have not seen a beer cart. Now I know couses are not obligated to provide refreshments, but isn't it in their best interest, I mean they must make a few extra bucks selling beers etc. Lets hear it for...

I played Emerald Links South today and I can't believe the 150 yard markers are correct. I think they had better check the distance on that hole and the next. Playing into the wind and still nowhere near getting it on the green. Other than that it was very enjoyable.

Here's a website for all you golfers looking to improve parts of your game.....http://www.thegolfexpert.com/golf-tips-hints.asp

If you had your choice to play any one course in the world, which one would it be and who would you most like to play with living or dead? My choice would be Augusta National with Sam Snead(when he was young and in top form).

I am getting quite tired of the weather....I am leaving on the 27th for Pinehurst, NC and they tell me this is the coldest winter they have had for some time. Today they had 1/8th of an inch of sleet and temps around 0 degrees....compared to -30 degrees and a pile of snow...its still going to be a...

If I had a gizillion dollars like Woods, I think I would be less succeptable to getting food poisoning, especially when his girlfriend had it the night before and was so bad she had to be admitted to the hospital. What and where are these guys getting their food from? Smells bad, tastes worse! Good...

Anyone want to meet for a round of gold Wednesday AM. I am an OttawaGolf club member but willing to play anywhere in Ottawa area. I generally shoot mid 80's to 90. Get back to me so we can book a time. :)

Its too nice out there this morning. Anyone interested in getting together to play a round of golf. Might be the last time this season.

Anyone golfing tomorrow have room for a player. Its supposed to be as nice as today. Let me know if you do. Thanks Andy :)

The Volvo swing analysis page is working now. http://sympatico.msn.ca/bellgolf Me and Mike could have been twins our swings are so much alike.:lol2 NOT!!!

Anybody played this course. If so, can you provide me with some info re; mid summer course conditions, compare to local courses, clubhouse amenities, quality of food, bar etc. Thanks.

Dan, when I try to leave feedback I get a prompt that says my message is to short. Please lengthen to 10 characters min. I have tried leaving more than the required number several times no avail.

OK. Its now official. I am absolutely going bonkers waiting for spring. I need my golf fix so bad I am starting to shake. I picked up two new wedges, a Scotty putter, re-gripped my clubs and am ready to roll. And no...indoor golf just doesn't cut it.:grumpy: :mecry

WTF. I finally break 80 and my handicap goes up .2 This game is frustrating to say the least.:grumpy:

I played a round at Glen Mar this morning with three members. Bobby, Erwin, and Bob. These guys were 70, 75 and the "youngster" was late 60's. What a round! Lets just say these guys took me to school.:not-worth I new I was in trouble on the first tee when Bobby(70) hit driver 280 yards. I...

So I am heading down to Glen Abbey for the Canadian Open. I've never been there before. Never watched mens pro golf either. I did see the CN Open for women and it was great. Question for all that have been at Glen Abbey. Where is the best viewing area to catch the most action? My parents and I...

I just noticed yesterday I celebrated 10 years since joining OG. I have enjoyed this site very much and hope to continue to frequent the boards. I've learned so much, and met so many great people. :thumbsup Thank you Dan. Cheers!!

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.

Looking to play one of them today. Let me know which one you would choose based on the condition...

Went out to the Meadows today and finished with a -2 (70) and I bogeyed the last two holes. I've only ever broken par at Manitou (two weeks ago) which I think, wasnt too big of a deal, but still felt awesome. Then to go out to a legit course and shoot -2 was even better! I can sense that my...

Ok, I know that from time to time, it happens. You really let one fly, and it flies almost into the group ahead of you. Apologize and move on... What do you say to the "pylon" after they fly a second ball over your head? What about the third? I stepped on his ball and plugged it in the...
