If you were to play nine holes and stopped because of darkness, knowing full well you would not be playing 18 when you started. And then continued the following day, no practice in between, to play the second nine. Can this be considered a full round of golf?

Well I'm just back from a week under the sun in Las Vegas and California... From that trip I have relearnt a few lessons: don't complain about noise and keep in the "green stuff". I wish Tiger Woods would try the Nellis Air Force Base course. On the 4th hole, I was teeing up my ball 50 feet away...

I've set up an Accenture Match Play pool over on the NCGT site. The players will be finalized Monday, and entries can be made starting Tuesday. Full rules are on the page.

Hiya Folks, Quick question. Are the yardages at Meadows from the tee box to the center of the greens very accurate - especially from the par 4's and 5's? I played a round today there, and although I've been tweakin' with the swing a bit (then again, who doesn't) I found from my yardage left to...

Just curious, did anyone here ever get an ace on a Par-4? Seems like Stronebridge #12 might be a good candidate. Sadly, I'm still trying for my first regular ace.

Bigdoggy and I had the pleasure of witnessing Krolik's first ever ace on #12 at the Marshes. He hit a 6 iron from 150 into the wind. The ball landed 10 feet left of the hole and took the break down the hill and rolled right into the cup. The only problem was that we didn't actually see it go in. ...

OK, here goes: Fan: "Hey Stewart, hey Stewart, how about an autograph!?!?!" Stewart Cink: "Seriously?" Fan: "Yeah!" Stewart Cink: "Well then no."

Dan, A very big :thumbsup to you on the new breakdown of the Clubs for sale section! You have been on a real role lately! Whats wrong, too much time on your hands? :-) Great improvements lately! good job!

Yesterday my yard was bare grass. It started snowing at 2:00 a.m. this morning, and has never stopped. Nothing can stop my Saturday morning workout! Notice flat left wrist, and forward shaft lean!!

Just another Reason for me to HATE Taylormade!!!!! Adams make great products, this is so sad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ad-hoc-news.de/adidas-ag-taylormade-adidas-golf-company-to-acquire-adams--/en/corporate-news/22974723 adidas AG:...

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 was shooting mid-80s to low 90s all of last season with one breakthrough 79. I am looking for a 2-3 day golf camp to fine-tune my game for this season. Any suggestions? Ideally driving distance from Ottawa (up to 8 hrs) . Thanks

I'm hosting a forum golf day for everyone at Eagle Creek with a box of ProV1's for everyone who plays. My treat.

Does anyone else here have constant issues with the Golf Channel reception wise on Rogers? Every weekend it seems to be horrendous!!!

Being a newbie to golf, this summer being the first time I’ve been able to get out on a regular basis, I too have suffered through the dreaded SLICE. Took some lessons, and solved the slice problem, well almost. There were times when I would look down the fairway of a par 5 and wail away like a...

While it is obviously getting late in the golf season, does anyone know of any Aimpoint Clinics that may be held in Eastern Ontario? I have tried the search on their website for clinics in Canada but it requires the last three letters of a postal code, and that does not work. Any information...

I flew a few times with my golf clubs and didn't realize Air Canada had a 50 lb limit. I usually throw all of my clothes into my golf bag for protection against the clubs. At the Ottawa or Toronto airport they didn't mention that my bag was overweight(it was), but coming back from Bermuda my bag...

I'm planning on taking a couple of golf trips this winter and noticed this on the Air Canada site: Golf clubs A golf bag containing no more than 14 clubs, 12 golf balls and one pair of golf shoes. The bag and clubs must be fully enclosed in a hard shell container specifically designed for...

These guys have these very popular HOW TO dvds for golf. Anyone have them? Seen them? What did you think? Worth the money or am I better of going to kevin haime and getting 3 lessons

Albatrossed <---- !?!? haha...4th hole east 9 at The Meadows, 470 yards. Anyone else in here have one? <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Just like the rest of us Alice is a golf nut. http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/OttawaSun/Sports/2005/01/28/912740-sun.html

Alignment How do you set up the driver for proper alignment?(see link above) Personally I always set the club down on a flat surface and grip it as it lays. Comments? Quote from Leith anderson: .

As I prepare for my round of golf at 10:30 that involves waking up at 7:00, I think to myself how stupid it was to drink those last few beers. It's quarter to two in the morning (1:45 for those who aren't used to seeing it written that way). Damn, I think to myself that maybe a cup of coffee...

I'm really not sure http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2003/04/25/news/8072.shtml

I'm playing in a friendly tournament in a couple of weeks. There are two groups of 8 players. We are playing 2man alternate shot, 2man best ball, 2man scramble then 1vs1 match play. The biggest issue is who to pair up for the alternate shot. Skill level is from 10handicap to about 20handicap....

Looking for some fun alternatives to Skins matches that I can play with my foursome. Of course for $$$$$

OK I never thought I would have to ask this, but am I becoming a CLUB HO? If so I blame some of the characters on this forum for leading me down the slippery slope to HO'DOM Here's the run down, you decide. 3 Drivers, TM R7, TM 320, Titleist Knockoff 2 -3 woods TMSupersteel, KZG CH1 3 sets of...

OK folks--we stopped in at the TPC this morning for a look see---the conditions looked excelent---unreal conditions--thank god for sprinklers. Took a tour through the proshop and overheard this conversation between the pro and a foursome of the ripe old ages of 21-23 years. " Will you be taking...

i found this golf game. these two japanese guys heckle you while you play, but the funniest thing i've found so far is a hidden cheat. If you press U while playing a UFO flies out and disintegrates your club. hehehe http://www.findtobu.com/en/game.cfm

During any given round, many times I am the last to hit because I've driven the farthest. Don't get me wrong, my game still has a long way to go, but at least my driver treats me well…er…most of the time. So, as everyone is playing their shots, I stand still and remain quiet, always. When it's...

when my browser scrolls to the bottom of the page once the page loads? SOmetimes I scroll up and it bumps me back down again, really madenning. I don't think this is a built in IE thing cause I don't remember it being an issue on other sites I visit.

Does anyone know if an amateur ine a pro am event wins, does the golfer get the purse?

What is the difference between a Amateur Championship and a Mid-amateur Championship? Thanks,

Sorry to gush but I have never won a thing in my life until now!! JeffC sent me a link to a golfworks contest a while back and I ended up being the grand prize winner for Canada! Won a three day trip to Scottsdale Arizona for a two day private clinic with Hank Haney, round of golf, airfare,...

Here's an amazing shot by LPGA Champ Natalie Gulbis http://www.zoobat.com/?p=84 . I have enough trouble getting it on the green let alone the stands!

Amazing story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPErSBmU-Gk

Played this course this weekend for the first time. It is in great shape, greens are fast and the price is right ($28 for 18!!!) Just a heads up as this course is not too well known.

I was playing in a doubles match on Sunday and we were 3 down after 10 holes. My partner was 5 over after the front, I was 2 over. He is an 8 handicap and I'm a 6. My partner bogied 10, I parred it. He then went on a tear. 6 birdies in the final 8 holes, with a missed 3 footer on 14 (he parred...

Well, I'm sure many of you "internet champions" will be happy to hear this... You will no longer be bothered with my opinion!!! YAY!!! You can go back to leading your relatively predictable lives without the knowledge that I will have something negative to say about it!!! WHOO!!!!! Just...

Someone else started a thread on the Tavistock Cup and its relevance/importance, and obviously we are getting close to The Masters which is my favourite event of the year... BUT I would love to see a sponsor step up and offer $10M top prize for a new tourney... I want to see a team format,...

Hi, I'm an absolute beginner at golf (half a season veteran!) and i'd like to know if there is online sources (FAQs, articles, etc) about the "ABC of golf equipment". I already have two good books on how to play, but I'm a hardware guy and I'd like to learn more on the different kinds of...

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...

When I tried to enter my score on the handicap form I could not find a listing. Is this an oversight or is there some issue? Played it for the first time this year. Pleasantly surprised. Has grown up a little, greens are in good shape although a little slower than the practice one. ...

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