Did anybody notice the little side-bar in this week's SI?? They had an overnite rain delay at the Memorial Tour Stop last weekend. When they tried to restart in the morning they found they had to significantly change one of the holes as somebody had "Defecated-in-the-hole".:P I wonder if it...

I would like to start a thread that documents people who have been out to courses this early golf seaon as they begin to open up and keep everyone up to date on their conditions. I think it would be helpful information to know which courses are open that are really ready to be open. There is...

has anyone else had problems with the online booking? I reserved a spot on sunday morning (grid showed 4 spots available) so I booked 3 spots for our 3-some. But I go back in the time still shows as all 4 spots being available ?

Given the current $$ exchange rate, I was looking @ clubs in the states. I have found that the titleist 904F sells for 250$ U.S (which is 290$ CND), but the same club is 330$ + tax @ Gofl Town. Just wondering if there are any shops that offer free shipping, and if anyone knows if duty will...

That's right K-Mart shoppers, only 41 more shopping days until Christmas. Does your significant other know what to get you yet? I thought that I'd start a thread here where folks can post what they want for Christmas just in case your significant other is poking around looking for Holiday gift...

Hey, is anybody else a semi-regular at the Rideau Carleton Casino or one of the other ones Province wide?? I'm a long way from the "Whale" category as I only play for quarters.:cool I just received an offer in the mail today inviting me to play in a free Golf Tournament at any one of 6 of the...

Is there anywhere online you can listen to the Open? I can't find anything..

If your 16 years old kid had the opportunity to join the PGA (or LPGA), would you tell him to go to college first?

Went for a quick round of 9 holes today, but I had forgotten to place my putter in the bag. Turned out that it was a round to forget due to the poor putting and losing three balls in the first three holes. Guess that my mind wasn't on golf....currently going thru removing subjects on my first house...

Have any of you guys ordered golf equipment from the Internet? Myself, I've ordered a driver from a web-store in California and the box arrived at my doorstep free of duty charges. Perhaps I was fortunate. My friend on the other hand had to pay a hefty charge of $40 or so for a putter he won...

Anyone recommend any online golf equipment retailers? Edwin Watts, TGW, etc? How were your experiences with customer service, shipping, hidden charges, etc.?

Good day everyone, My buddy is organizing his first charity golf tournament and might be at Falcon Ridge. I was wondering if anyone could give some TIPS or SUGGESTIONS ? Summary -- Hopefully 40 to 50 golfers -- Diner + carts are included

I think this is the right section for this. I've known for years that I needed orthotics. I had them about 5 years ago, but found they were in a pain in the ass - I play lots of sports so I had to keep switching them from shoe to shoe. When I needed a new pair I decided not to bother. Since...

Hey Dan, Just a question, but.... why are there so few of the area courses actually on this site. How do you/they decide who is on and who is not. I'd love to see the rest of the gang here, making it a one stop shop for Ottawa Golf. I would also love to see a few more updates on the 'What's...

Just wondering if there are any other good Canadian golf forums. I'm only asking because I'm looking for a trade for my R7 Quad and I'd like to try other boards aswell as this one. Thanks

Being new to the Ottawa area, I would like some input regarding becoming a member at a local course. I would like to join at a moderate price $1500 - 1700 if possible. Any suggestions.. Thanks

Anybody know where I can download the course database. I got it here before but I can't find it again Thanks

Thought this would bring some interesting discussion as there is not one Ottawa area course in the recent Ontario Top 50 golf course rankings......... http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/showthread.php?t=20257 Unbelievable Eagle Creek was left off, but is #75 in Scoregolf Top 100 Courses in Canada....

Dan, I see that the site has been rearranged somewhat. I like it. However, there is no longer any reference to the Toronto area, nor any apparent link to its courses. Is that a permanent state of affairs?

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.

Thinking about joining the golf club next year with my girlfriend. Dan or someone, can you explain the advantages of joining the club besides of course the 50% off green fees, and early booking? Dustin :bablefish

Any rumblings of this event taking place this year? I realize the situation could change quickly, but I would think by now some planning has been happening with the anticipation that it can take place.

Does the Ottawagolf tour support all skills of players. I'm not a tour caliber player by any means, but would like to get out and compete to add something to the game. How much is it to join? I'm sure it's a little late for this season, but maybe next year....

Hi Dan, I just called Gatineau and they are opening tomorrow (I'm wiping a tear right now as I type) but for the first 2 weeks, they are not taking tee-times, it is first-come first serve, I don't understand why they do that every year, but that's what they do. I asked the pro-shop guy, "How...

Howdy y'all. For some reason I thought Cedar Hill was on the list of course for Reservation Masters here but I no longer see it. But then perhaps I was crazy too and read Cedar Glen as Cedar Hill, hmmm. I'm curious about membership numbers, how many golf course memberships you have per...

Booked my first tee off time with the OttawaGolf Club for Cedarhill yesterday afternoon at 15:52. When my friend (who is a OGC member as well) and I finished the front nine at 17:37, we started to walk to number 10. We say a bunch of women going ahead of us, we asked what was going on. They...

Does anyone else have trouble accessing this page frequently? It seems like the SQL timeout gets met fairly frequently causing you to have to log back in and try again. Right now I've been trying to enter a round for over 20 minutes :rolleyes Sounds like you need to add some database...

I just noticed the OttawaGolf ad on the home page for the Team1200. www.team1200.com. Very nice.

Not entirely sure how usefull this will be yet, but feel free to follow. :-) http://twitter.com/OttawaGolf

Is the handicapping section on this website legit? I mean, if I showed up to play in a tournament with a print out of my handicap card from here, is it good? Or do you have to belong to a club for an accurate/valid handicap card? I do belong to a course but at my home course there is only a...

Hi Dan, I was just wondering how much consideration you have given in the past about having a French version of this website? With the many courses you have listed that are in "La Belle Province", it could be very benefitial for you ($$$$$) and all golfers in the Outaouais region to have it...

Yup. :director Spidey. Who else?!? Congrats Spidey! A real postaholic! :cheers
