Forum: General Golf Talk

has anyone ever been to the golf dome in marham. I went on a training course near there last week with covanant and neither of us new about it or what it was like, fees etc? any feed back would be appreciated.

I know why i've been messing up now. I've been watching my backswing & taking my eyes off the ball. Such a simple thing to do, such a difficult thing to notice. There was a new girl in the pro shop today & she would only let us play the front instead of the back. Usually we opt for the back as...

Anybody play the clublink course in Virginia, called Lake Chesdin? Any info and course comments would be appreciated! Thanks J

Remember that link to the R7 you had posted earlier. Well it looks as though the seller is in the US but shipping out of Montreal. http://cgi.ebay.ca/BRAND-NEW-RH-TAYLOR-MADE-R7-9-5-STIFF-L-K_W0QQitemZ7203225236QQcategoryZ115280QQcmdZViewItem ...

Hey, didn't want to hijack the other thread since my repair is different. Has anyone had any experience with getting zippers replaced? My staff bag's front pocket as a U shaped zipper opening and the zipper needs to be replaced (zipper came off the teeth and some of the teeth are messed...

Hey all. New guy here. Just wondering if anyone had an idea of the best(&cheapest/fastest) method for ho'ing clubs to the states. Thanks, G.:-)

I have a carry bag and the top strap is starting to wear through where it connects on the the "D" ring. It will not likely last another season. Does anyone know somewhere/someone that does repairs. I took it to BK Sports Repairs on Bantree but he does not have the proper equipment to do the job.

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

if i wanna sell something on ebay do i need to go to the post office before i sell it to find out how much shipping is? what are the procedures. is there a way where i dont have to go to the post office?

Anyone see it on the Golf channel? I thought it was really good. It clarified a few points for me on one of my favourite books. Lovely to see Hogan's actual swing detailed like that. A keeper.

Hi everyone, The sad reality of no golf for a while unless you jump on a plane has finally hit me. That doesn't mean the winter has to be a waste however... I'm looking into conditioning routines. Not one where I pay 800$ get a swing analysis and handed some weights; something I can do at...

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.

The 2006 PGA Tour starts next week. Our Fantasy Golf League is now open. Get your picks in by Wed Midnight for the Mercedes Championship! http://www.ottawagolf.com/fantasygolf/index.htm

Now being that I am new in hear and don't know much about the place, I may be way out in left field on this suggestion! Now Dan Seems like a very astute individual with alot of leadership talents and he obviously puts alot of time into running the Forum and keeping us 'paying customers' in...

Currently I am playing with a set of RAC LT irons whcih I bought from another member on here. I love these irons and don't particularly have any difficulties in hitting them. Even the long irons. However, they are one inch over standard and I am only 5' 7". I wanted to get a better...

Doesn't seem anymore that there is a downtime for golf. Glad to see golf starting again, but what do you think about big guys not bothering to come to Hawaii for some sun and fun i.e. tiger, phil etc. In only a 28 member or so field, they would have had a good shot at winning? I personally am...

Just thought I'd start another thread to keep us from going stir crazy!! The question is how do each of you mark your golf ball to identify it as your own and how long have been doing it that way. maybe even what's the coolest marking you have ever come across?..................... I mark my golf...

Happy New Year Y'all:cheers

My wife made an interesting observation about the forum last night..... She said 'There seem to be very few female members in that forum you are always in, how come?' Since I am somewhat smarter than I look and I needed a quick response that would keep me out of the dog house, I said 'gee, I never...

If you are not a member of a golf club, how does one go about getting a handicap card? My friend in Australia is asking me to bring one to play courses there. Thanks.

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?

Anybody else here besides Geoff getting new golf gear from santa this x-mas? I hope santa brings me a new bag!:-)

If any of you are like me (if you are, my deepest sympathies) you find yourself working away on the computer at work and all of a sudden you get the urge to login here and see what banter is taking place..... What attracts us so often during the day? I mean besides the gentle reminder...

Hey Guys, Does anyone know of or have a link explaining the criteria that the PGA takes into account when chosing a golf course? Examples: hotels, capacity, length of course etc? I would also like to find out the revenues generated at past Bell Canadian Open tournaments. I have been trying to...

Hello Fellow Golfers, I wanted to take the time to personally thank all of you that supported me through The Big Break. I appreciate each and every email, note, letter and words they mean a lot to me not as a golfer but as a player. I want people to understand that golf is just a game, but it is...

On the first day of Golfing my true love sent to me A gap wedge found in a tree On the second day of Golfing my true love sent to me Two leather gloves, And a gap wedge found in a tree On the third day of Golfing

I met a lot of great people on this forum and it has certainly been a great season for golf. I would like to wish all a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday! :thumbup :party :party:party:party

Thinking about ordering a few dozen PRO V1X second quality from these guys. The prices seem great, anyone have any experience with the company?

What are your goals for 2006,more games,lower scores,more fun ??? How are you going to achieve your aims ?? How about one resolution for everyone :Play Faster!! everybody wins with this one, courses make more money therefore more courses are built,and on top of that you play better golf...

I finally got a chance to catch up on the show and watch all of them. If I had to pick one person on each team I would say TJ from the American side and Thomas on the Euro side. I think TJ has a lot of creativity and style on the golf course. I think Thomas just has a solid swing. These are my...

I found this australian link, with plenty of superb quality golf wallpapers. It deserves a look. PS i took Kauri Cliffs #17

If you are not aware, a Blog is a "web-log" or personal journal / diary. Users could each have thier own Blog where they could keep a golf diary or anything they'd like. Other users could then comment on blog entries. Do you folks think that would be something you'd be interested in?

Hello Everyone:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Could you please redo the survey? If you take over 100 samples it costs money to analyze the data. I had 102 replies. It is now set to disable at 99 samples. If I were to pay for this it would cost me $50. I thank you all for your help on this...

OK, gotta get my one post for the month so my 'personal reminder' message doesn't pop up! :-) Having been a member of a club for about 12 years now, I was thinking to myself what to hell are the advantages of being a member at a local club.:confused I though of many, but none of them so...

I got thinking when someone here posted about the cool new 'Pink' NV Shaft, that some people like their golf stuff (equip/clothing etc) on the conservative side. Others relish standing out. Which are you? Just to get things started: I got ribbed a bit on the sister Toronto site about some...

I posted this also on our sister Toronto site but have to pass on my feelings. I know many who haven't bought through ebay often don't because of worries over quality of item, duty fee's etc. I had to do this post to acknowledge someone. I bought some dimplit Grip Bite gloves. Can't find them...

Love the site ? recently joined and noticed the index'n of clubs ie 1 iron, wedge etc... I'm curently a Lob wedge how many posts or activity does it take to become a gap muchless and known entity???? just wondering....:confused

Would you not agree that the weather was very GOlf oriented this year. Looking back I can remember years where every weekend went lousy etc. ...just looked at the 14 day trend for kingston area, apparently calling for plus 11c on xmas eve! May not be a white xmas! could be golfing weather????...

Hi to all the players here who have far more experience than me. I am just learning to play golf and i am taking lessons from a pro shop in Toronto. The instructor asked me to change to hit as right handed because he said lefty are usually at a disadvantage when it comes to playing on the field??...

Hi, I am starting to learn how to play golf, i have great aunt and uncle who have been playing for 30 years and they have shown me the light and I think I will become hooked. I really need to buy my first set of clubs though, they have ping's and I really like those. What is the process of choosing...

I'd like to know if you have profesional golfer autographs. I have Retief Goosen, Paul McGinley, Sergio Garcia, David Howell , Thomas Levet. P.S. There is not a real interest in this post , just curiosity :-)

does anyone know who came up with this rule and when? The more I think about it, the more it makes sense as the perfect number. Sure we'd all like more, but this number requires golfers to make decisions about what to carry and be a bit more strategic than just filling their bag with as many clubs...

Does anyone when they go to the range hit off the mats? Personally I don't but I'm just wondering if anyone knows of the benefits of hitting off the mats. The obvious one is that hitting off a mat is easier, but other than that are there any other benefits. I was speaking to someone and they...

OK, let's hear the hardcore golfer stories. I probably played my last round of the year today at Stonebridge. Tee'd off at noon, holed out at ~4:20. The sun came out at 11:55, which meant it was only a windshirt with vest underneath. Absolutely beautiful day for golf, especially for Nov. 12....

I was at physio yesterday and reading a TIME magazine about the best inventions this year...this caught my eye :-) Nike MAXSIGHT contact lenses are the result of a partnership between Nike and Bausch & Lomb. Nike MAXSIGHT is a soft contact lens available in two glare-reducing tints. The athlete...

You know, I loved the first one. I liked the tension of the girls at the end of last years big break. But I have had it!!! According to their own website at the golf channel, tonite is "all new". Further they add "Intensity reaches an all time high!" It is a rehash!!! every friggin episode...

IF you see my mix below, i need the rcga to approve 17 club max's. :) Seriously though, any big advantage for say, a 5 wood, over a hybrid. I absolutely love my hogan 24 and use it several times a round (about 190). The 2h or 19deg works great (a little lower and farther) but I don't use it...
