Just curious what course people feel they are they are looking forward to playing the most in the coming season.... Myself would be Le Diable which I'm off to in June!

Just curious to see...

Hi, this might be kinda a noob question, but how do you figure out handicap holes at Outaouais, I'm kinda confused because there is 2 numbers for each hole. Lets say everyone is playing blues and i have to give 5 shots to my op on south and east! Thanks for the help guys!

Hi all, Would anyone have a scorecard for the Outaouais Golf Club in Rockland? I'll be playing there on the weekend and would like to fill in the relevant data into GstatPro... Thanks, Grant

Wouldn't it be nice if all the golfers in the Ottawa region to stay away from golf courses that don't space their tee times properly. Everyone complains about slow play, but one of the biggest contributors to slow play is tee times that are only 6,7 or 8 minutes apart. If everyone boycotted these...

I Have come across this information on another Golf site about the new Public Golfer Membership of the Quebec Golf Association. Ut to now, the only way to be "recognized as a golfer" in Québec, was to be a member of a club. Seems that QGA is moving into the 21st Century after all. You can check...

For those who are members at local golf clubs and who play in OVGA tournaments, the OVGA has established a ladder system similar to the QGA ladder that determines spots in the Tunis, Kent and Amateur championships. This ladder will determine who is eligible to play in local OVGA tournaments. If...

From the "not to be taken lightly" department. Friday May 17...Remind boss I'll be away golfing and renovating stuff around the house for the next week that I'll be off so no phone calls for overtime, okay?? Sunday May19... 10 am...while moving 30 pound boxspring mattress...

I thought I would move this debate/topic into its own thread because it seems to be a good topic of discussion. To continue on pace of play.......... I've been golfing over 25 years now and have found no problem getting tee offs before 7am, before 8am, before 9 and also after 10 on weekends....

Awesome idea! If something similar is launched in Canada, I'll be a staunch supporter :thumbsup Check out the videos as well, really funny stuff. http://www.compleatgolfer.co.za/blogs/news/usgas-while-young-campaign/

A few years ago pace of play on this region's public courses was a big topic in Flagstick Magazine. I've found a lot of the public courses in this region are guilty of slow play again, and not doing much to manage it, except Glen Mar which has the most active marshalling I've seen anywhere. I...

I am currently in college in a Professional Golf Management Program and for one of our projects, we have to administer this survey. If you are interested, please answer the 14 questions, it should not take you much longer than 5 minutes as they are all multiple choice or YES or NO questions. ...

Hey buddy, your inbox is full and i'm tryin to PM you.

Does anyone out there know Riddell? I'm in no way talking smack about the guy i'm more so worried as we were supposed to meet Sunday for a driver i'm grabbing and I haven't heard from him since last Friday, i don't want to send him pm's and have something actually be wrong on his end.

I am pretty sure I have not been gripping my clubs too tight. But since I have started to go to the range daily, I now have some pain in the palm of my left hand as well as some of my fingers. Some days I feel like my fingers are swollen a bit. So I am considering re-gripping with softer grips....

Well there we have it. Se Ri Pak has made the cut in a Mens event. She didn't just squeak by either. She is in +2 and the cut was +6. She is currently in the Top 30. Obviously her competitors are not impressed. The leading money leader on the Japanese Tour says the course sets up for her to make...

OK, that's it. I'm :mad We can't have a single thread going without Broken or Stevie K. pushing the virtues of their favorite courses, Dragonfly & Pakenham. This is the official debate & then the rest of us will vote on your presentations...... Steve, you're up, then Dano gets to...

Since the travel threads have started... I'm heading down to Palm Desert in Late November and I'm interested in some ideas on "reasonably" priced golf. I know I can golf PGA West for 250 or something like that. I've plugged into a few things, I'm going to watch the Skins game at Landmark...

It has been very strongly suggested to me that to prevent further ski damage that I wear a large Panama type hat when I play golf. Has anyone seen any of these hats available locally. I checked Golftown and Nevada Bob's and they don't carry this style. I know that you can get them online but I...

I'm interested in knowing other views on the "rule" at some courses of hitting up on par 3's. I abhor this practice and refuse to do it unless forced. Here's why: 1. It adds pressure to the people teeing off because of the prospect of hitting someone. Bad shots tend to be the result - affecting...

Yesterday, after holing my tee shot with a 4 hybrid on the 180 yard par 3 fourth on Greensmere Legacy for my 5th hole-in-one, my fellow competitor hit an iron on the 9th that rolled just short of the hole but dead on line. Tap in 2 Later, Gerry hit his iron on the par 3 seventeenth and yelled...

The bain of my game. They go on too long, you just have to hit too many good shots in a row. I can't seem to keep the needle in the groove for the whole hole. My chances of having a good hole are better with 8i on a par 3 than sitting 100 yards out on a par 5. If you compared my stats...

Ok, I may be exaggerating just a little bit, but not much. Went out today for my first round of the year, as a warmup for Friday, when I'm playing Cordova Bay and Olympic View to kick off the summer. I figured I needed to get the feel for hitting the ball before playing two tough courses like...

Is it customary to key in the password every time I want to log on to the forum? Have been convalescing again but now feel better and I'd like to catch up and keep current, but sometime my memory fails me. Thanks, Chris

Here are a few of the ladies for fun :) http://gallery.me.com/little_mo#100238 For Michelle http://gallery.me.com/little_mo#100245 For Paula

The good news: I finally shot my first round of par, from blues (6500) @ H.C. yesterday. My previous best score was 75 @ Greensmere black (6300) and 75 @ Hunt from gold (6800). The bad news: the universe needs to balance itself out so I can expect a few rounds in the 80's coming my way. Like...

Greetings ... Time for the annual Pebble Beach Pro-Am ($5.3-million, $954,000-1st) Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, Jim Furyk, Fred Couples, Fred Funk, David Duval and others tee it up with 2004 winner Vijay Singh. There are also 180 amateurs in the field - the famous and not-so-famous. ...

I will be going to PEI and Cape Breton this Fall (Sept) on my honeymoon and we both plan to do some golfing. We are planning on playing Highlands and Bell Bay in Cape Breton. Then in PEI, we plan to play Crowbush, Eagles Glenn, and Mill River. Has anybody played these courses this year? How are...

How's golfing on PEI in February? (is there any?) I'm thinking of taking a golf trip, but don't want the hassle that is assumed when going south...

I have had a few funny conversations about having a few people watch as you teeoff. My story is kinda funny. I had just switched to playing left-handed at 34 yrs old after playing right-handed since I was 14. I had never played much golf (4 games) and did not like it. After some coaxing I tried...

Having a discussion the other day with a buddy and we talked about the % of golfers that play under 100. It seems that only 5% are under 100 but I would say about 90% of peopel I play with are under 100 and then some. What gives with these stats and where do they come from. Just curious how they...

Stumbled on this..interesting https://mygolfspy.com/real-scotty-vs-fake-scotty/

Shot a 74 last tuesday. And before I got the nerve to post it I saw that Geoff shot his 69 I think the same day.:rolleyes In light of the personal bests being written up lately I thought I'd get mine out there. 4 shots better than my previous best:thumbsup

I had a personal best today playing in Pakenham.... a string of 10 pars from 3 through 12 :thumbsup Then good old pal Hacker had to mention what a great game I was having and the wheels fell off so we won't talk about the final score :-)

While the first half of this season was agony and my cap went up from 19.8 to a high of 23.5, things have been looking up. In the last 2 months ( June5th to now) I have dropped my handicap from that 23.5 down to a currnet all time low of 16.4. And today I had a personal best of 82 (45-37) at...

Played a NCGT match play event at Anderson today and had a personal best score of 73. The golf gods were looking out for me. :-)

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...

I went up to Oaks of Cobden today. I was very impressed with the condition and the layout. It's beautiful. If you have not played it yet, you really should. It's similar to Renfrew in many ways (same general area so the terrain is similar), but not as many looong par 4s. I had never played Oaks...

I worked my way up to shooting pretty consistenly in the 80's this season. Then around 4 weeks ago, I put up a personal best and broke 80 - shot a 79. Since then, I can't seem to make two decent shots in a row. My game has gone to the dumps - shot a 102 on Friday, then a 94 yesterday. What the...

Just shot an 84, a new pb at Bearbrook. Greens shaggy but overall 6/10. Its not that bad.

I am having a great deal of trouble keeping it together to break 90. Mainly at Emerald Links or the like. I have had this as a goal for quite a while now without success. Scoring lots of 92s, but mainly having one really good 9 and one really bad :) Today I did just the same, I think it is all...

I started the back nine at Rivermead yesterday, birdie, birdie, par, birdie, birdie and shot 42-37 = 79. (I have never been the most consistent golfer).

Well, after many years I finally shot my first round under par today! I was one over on the front, one bogey and 8 pars. Birdied 11 and started to think even or better was in reach. Bogey on 14 followed by birdie on 15 means I am standing on 16 even par. 16 at RideauView is a long par 5 and I...
