Forum: General Golf Talk

I was just thinking and I'm sure that perhaps it's been thought of or mentioned before but here goes. I sporadically get some coupons in the local flyers. The last one I got for Cloverdale 2 for 1 with a cart let's say, and it acutally works well as that makes me think of trying there first for...

Hello. If you buy a set of irons at Golf Town will they do a lie angle measurement then and there for you and then bend your irons to fit you or are you expected to just buy them as is, and then take them to a clubfitter?

Well its my second year at Kanata and I finally broke 70 today. 69!!!!!! Granted it was from the whites because it was a junior qualifier it still feels GREAT! Threw away a stroke on 16 but made 2 clutch putts on 17 and 18 for pars to finally do it!! Only my second time breaking 70 hopefully many...

This probably isn't impressive to most of you but today at the Maplewood G&CC in Irishtown, NB, I shot my best ever round of 92 (45 & 47.) There are still room for some vast improvements in my game but I only get to play a maximum of once a week. I've been watching all of Rickard Strongerts...

Here is my dilemma. When inputting my info on the OG Handicap system I have NOT done my calculations using the "course handicap". :redface My question is, with 80 rounds now in the system is it worth my time to go back and correct this error? I am usually on the bubble between 18/19 handicap and...

When I clicked on New Posts it came back and said one of the posts was updated "Today 02:10 PM" however when I went to the post it hadn't been updated since 03-27-2007, 10:46 pm. Just thought I'd point that out for what ever it's worth.

On the 2nd page of today's Citizen, there's an article on "How Golf Greens Work." It's taken from http://www.howstuffworks.com. It's kind of interesting so I thought I'd post a link to the article here: http://science.howstuffworks.com/question428.htm There's other stuff on the site related...

Tried to book on line from my work computer today. Got in but when I tried to select course/day I got a page saying that I had no access and to call the site phone number. Are we limited to booking from only our "home" computers, one that the site recognizes, or did my network screen out the...

My apologies to 314314. I just left him a negative feedback while I meant to leave a positive feedback. Hopefully the situation can be corrected. Again sincere apologies.

I saw this during the Open coverage. I'm still laughing! http://www.visit4info.com/details.cfm?adid=47945&bp=/search/?pg=charts&l=new

I guess Dan already knows about this---all the handicap scoring has gone too---I think if we are all patient and not bug "the prof" it will be fixed in due time :)

... but unfortunately I had 6 doubles mixed with 12 pars!:grumpy: Oh well, still not a bad round for me. And at least I can actually hit the ball again (past month has been scary bad)! Like Bobby Jones said, its about turning 3 strokes into 2.

I strongly recommend that in cases where you feel negative feedback is warranted that you do all you can to resolve your differences without postng a negative. Mutual negative feedback can only be reversed by mutual agreement. The moderators will not get involved unless a forum rule is...

Can anyone tell me where I might find some discount coupons for the Ottawa Valley? My buddies and I are coming up for a golf get away and have booked Renfrew, Calabogie and Pakenham. Is there any chance of getting a break on green fees?

I’m going to purchase two tickets for the 28th. A local woman is selling them on the Internet. She states that she did not get them yet but will call me as soon as she receives them. Obviously I did not pay for them yet. I will meet her and make the exchange “cash for ticket” in person next week...

Has anyone ever played 4 ball match play for money?

Has anyone even noticed that Tiger is playing today-----and leading? :-)

From Maltby: http://www.ralphmaltby.com/latest/109 “Working the ball” is simply a matter of controlling the face angle and path of the clubhead coming into impact Over the years, I have had this discussion many times with the touring pros and better players I have worked with who play...

I picked up a couple of packs of these cards over the Xmas break just out of curiosity...they were selling for $1 for a 5 pack. I didn't even know PGA players had their own cards...got ones of Tiger, Monty, Padraig Harrington, Stewart Cink, etc. Would these be worth something one day? They...

Anyone know any good golf game software out there for Windows Vista? Links 2003 was outstanding but can't get it to load with Vista. Can't find any patches or drivers for it so must assume its not compatible.

i've been playing golf for about 3 years now and am about a 8 handicap and am getting better. i was wondering if there are any competitive tournaments around that anyone can enter. i've heard about the local ones that courses have but they don't look to me to be competitive. how does someone work...

Anyone else get duped by this? Last year Diet Coke ran a promo, where you collect and send in a certain number of UPC codes from boxes of Diet Coke. The promo was country wide. You send in so many, and you get a free round of golf in your area, within a 30 km radius or so. I sent in enough for 2...

When I practice the short game, I generally always use my preferred type of ball (currently Pro V1) so that I become familiar with its feel and spin properties. However, when I practice bunker shots I tend to use cheaper balls because I find sand shots can chew up the covers and I also hit more...

The new Big Break started last night, just wondering what everybody thought of it and how do think it is going to turn out?

All last year I maintained my handicap information using the public handicapping utility on this website. This year I joined a club where they track handicap on a separate computer system. Do I start fresh on the new system, or should I transfer my most recent 20 scores from the OG system?

Hi, I have a question regarding two stats. Up and Down? Does an up and down have to be a chip/pitch onto green and then a one putt? Is it an "up and down" even from 100 yards (say my 3rd shot on a Par 4) And what happens if I have mess up my first pitch and need to chip on AND then...

This is pretty neat. DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you do not read the bottom until you have worked it out!

Hi, I have a question regarding RM. I was considering getting one of the prepaid game packages (either 10 or 5) with a couple friends, but they're concerned they can't commit enough to play the number of rounds. Are unused rounds transferrable to the next year? Thanks

Hello - i'm having issues logging into the hc system - the ' in my last name seems to crash the system - IE o'grady The problem is my last name is my login name - can someone help me out/ cheers

This is a newbie question but I was wondering if you guys who have played in your own golf club's stroke play championships could tell me how serious this event is? I ask because this is the first year I've ever had a membership at any course and I joined in on this event purely for fun (just to...

John Sharp and I spent the better part of today at the Westmount Golf Club in Kitchener watching the Canadian Jr. I was doing some scouting for Oklahoma State. The top six kids really impressed with their distance and course management skills. Here is the leader board link. ...

Suffered my first ever golf injury today. The drink cart cooler door slammed down on my hand! OUCH!!!! :lmfao It's gonna bruise up for sure and actually did affect my play afterwards. Can I sue the course? :-)

Not sure where this should be posted but I am going to be shipping a putter to Texas and am wondering what the cheapest methoud to do this is. Thanks for the help.

Played a match as part of the NCGT tour at the Meadows. Both of us are 11.9 indexes and it proved to be about as even as you can get. Back and forth the whole round I was down 2 at the turn but took 10 and 11 to go all square. got one down and then hit my approach to 3 feet on 15 after almost...

I just entered a nine hole score from last night, 37, and it took my cap from 14.2 to 12.8! Does that make sense? Seems like an awful big jump for one nine hole round?

Hi guys, Played my first round in the 70's in two years and shot an amazing 75 at the Gatineau last Saturday. It was my first time playing it and aren't I glad I had a cart because that's a long course to walk. Had a 30 foot Eagle opportunity on #17 but came up 1 foot shy for a birdie. Here...

I'm wondering why courses don't offer a designated area for people to warm up and stretch? Maybe private courses offer something but I haven't seen any public places where they have some mats or even a stationary bike to warm up. Would be good to have some mats in the clubhouse or near the driving...

Anyone know where he's been!!

After having about 10 rounds combined over the last 3 years, I'm officially getting back into golf! :D Joining Cedar Hill for next season, and looking forward to getting in a tonne of games. Nothing else to say, but I'm excited, so I posted :)

Ok, I'm the last person to ever watch yet alone suggest a reality TV show, but I think a show with Brian and Elena from Big Break if they did actually hook up would be priceless. For those of you that watched the series there seemed to be some chemistry between the two, but I suspect it wold be...
