So, long story short, I came across the obit story on Jerry Reed like this. A guy I work with is going to see Oasis tonight at the Bank, and I was wondering who was opening for them. So I did some searching on oasisnet.org and found out that it's Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, and there's a link...

I tried logging in to see about booking a tee time somewhere for after work today, but the log in page won't accept my username/password. I tried the 'forgotten password' link, but the email it sent me shows the same username/password as I was using. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I...

Played Greensmere today and it felt like the worst round in my life. The funny thing is that I came into the round quite confident, though I had not played in a week. My previous rounds prior, I was hitting the ball solid. I could not hit a ball on the back nine, after a mediocre 42 on the front...

I am quite happy to say that after a long drought with no wins in club events etc that I made it back into the Winners Circle today. :-) I pulled off a one round event win by beating the defending champion by 3 strokes with a round of 76. Not my best but it was a decent round and a win is a...

Well the title says it all. Come back to my buddy's car after playing a round, and find the windshield cracked from being hit with a golf ball. It was a direct hit, and spider webbed to about 8" in diameter, as well as putting cracks throughout the whole windshield. Spoke to management, they...

Hi, I was tracking my own handicap on my home PC using computer software. I have always just entered the rating/slope off of my scorecard. I was recently on the RCGA (and via the handicap option on this site) and I am finding some ratings/slopes are different. An example would be the Canadian...

If anyone was at the Womans Open at the Hunt last month they may remember the putting competition for the Taylor Made carry bags. I was lucky enough to win one of these but have yet to see the bag. I was told that CN would be shipping out the bags that week. My question is, did anyone else win a...

So, how many of you will now be forced to watch Donald Trump's show: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/report-golfer-natalie-gulbis-compete-on-celebrity-apprentice-7729.php

Hi, I have a co-worker who lost a club this weekend, which was not returned to the clubhouse. Is there another site besides ebay, or ironfinder (which seems really expensive) that has a wide selection of clubs? LMK if there is any that I can't find. Thanks.

With my 85 today at Emerald Links I've broken into the 12's (12.9) for my Handicap !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo !!!!! :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-) Now just to stay there for the rest of the year and my first goal will be accomplished !!!!

OK, so I'm working on getting the index into single digits. The conventional wisdom would say "Work on your putting". But I tend to disagree. If you look at the PGA tour stats, the number one guy is at 27.97 putts per round and the number 187 ranked guy is at 30.43. Not a very big spread. You'd...

if 4 scratch golfers play together is there a way to guess what they should score? What if they are 4x2hcps? 4x8hcps? Is there a way to ball park what a scramble group of 2 or 4 would shoot? Should shoot?

I am looking for a site that lists the names of PGA Tour caddies and their PGA tour player. I recently bought a Titleist 905R driver that was apparently used on the PGA Tour in competition. The seller claims to be the caddie of the PGA player who played with this club. He claims that his...

I'm just curious as to what others would do. Let's say you patronized a local golf store for a new set of irons, driver and bag. Next month you go to same store looking to buy a pair of shoes. You know what you want but you can only find them in size 11 or 12. You talk to manager/owner...

Maybe a really stupid question but.... This is the first year I have really kept a real handicap and was just curious if I am supposed to carry these rounds over into next year or should I start fresh each year ? Does it make any differance, or what do you do...??? Thanks in advance

I am looking for fun games to play at a sponsored hole. I will be hanging out at the hole while foursomes come through. We're looking for a side game to play at the hole to make us stand out. We were going to see who could hit a marshmallow the farthest but are now unable to host that game. Does...

I played the Predator yesterday afternoon. Amazing weather for this September day. Anyway I played from the gold tees. At the 6th hole I hade 148 to a blue pin at the back far left behind the trap. Typical sucker pin. I hit a chocked down 8I to try to keep the ball bellow the pin and not short side...

I played with a member at GH on Wednesday. This member played with only one arm. He had no right arm and missing half his left thumb. He set up to the ball like a right-handed player. He could hit the ball a decent length with his left arm. It was very impressive. My hat is off to this man who...

I've been commissioned to design and build a single mini putt hole for a charity event and I'm looking for unique 'outside the box' idea's. Nothing too elaborate or expensive, but other than, that anything goes Any idea's, suggestions, or advice from past experience is greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if any one read John Daly's new book "My Life In and Out of the Rough", and what you thought about it?

with the fall specials being posted i realized the season is coming to an end. I've used the site year more than any year in the past to arange games with golfers I hadn't met yet, joined groups looking for a 4th and even to meet up with people with my shared love of golf for non golf related...

So , i'm going to change my equipment this off season , and i'm going to get my clubs fitted for my swing characteristics. However , i fully intend to work on my swing over the winter which will obviously change the characteristics. My dilemma is when to get fitted. :scratchch The clubs i have...

Hey guys I just joined the site last week and love it... I am wondering if any knows or can suggest handicap indexing software or a site where I can get my handicap and track other stats like greens in regulation, # of putts, or fairways hit etc. etc.

So i woke up this morning with the craving to go hit some golf balls... and then it hit me, since Ive moved, gotten a full time job, and joined a band my clubs havent left the storage locker since August... Man what happened to me. I went from buying more clubs than the average golfer goes...

Our Featured Courses Maps now feature driving directions from your address to the course you are viewing. Just use the text input box and there you go.

I'm sure everyone has seen that Titleist commercial (Pro V1). How do you mawk yo Titelist? (I tried to write it out the way the way it is said):lmfao How do you guys mark your Titleist? I put two dots on both sides of the number 1.

I haven't been able to get out as much this year, but I did get a nice surprise when I recieved a club that I had forgotten that I had bought off a guy on WRX back in August. In previous years I'd be on the phone with USPS trying to find the club, but I wasn't even sure what I would find in this...

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

I was in the clubhouse last night and saw that Score Golf's top 100 Canadian Golf Course List was in it (http://scoregolf.com/rankings/top100/top-100-golf-courses-in-canada-2008.cfm). I looked through the list and realized that I have played 12:book: - The Links at Crowbush - Rocky Crest Golf...

Well i decided to go out to Greensmere at 4:30 and see how many holes i can get in since my wife is comming back tommorow with both kids. Asked to play the Black and decided to take a cart to play faster. Well it turns out i got through the nine in just over and hour and shot a 41 from the...

Inspired by the discussion in the Rules forum and that cheezy Titleist commercial, how do you mark your ball? I use a blue sharpie and cover up the numbers on my ball with a big blue dot. Not only does this help identify my ball, but it's a great indicator of how well (or not) I have hit the...

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 :-)

2nd guy is always better than 1st guy:) How do you duplicate the 2nd guy's mindset?:hissyfit:

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?

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...

You have your ups and downs all season, but when the season starts to come to a close you start to play some of your best, most consistent golf of the year. I'm a mere 1 over par over my last 45 holes of golf. Where was this play when I needed it the most. :wallbash:-) But I'm out enjoying the...

I seem to be receiving pairs of PM's, and I see I sent a pair (instead of the 1 I actually sent). Also I had 4 PM's in my inbox but my indicator in the top right said I had 0. And everytime I send a PM my browser goes to a blank page instead of back to my PM box.

Congrats to: Smoked Meat Dixie BirdieMan Tweeda Fireice Smoked Meat and Fireice are both repeat Grand prize winners. Smoked Meat won 3 weeks this year to clinch top spot. BirdieMan is our own Mpare and Tweeda is his lovely wife! That's a pretty good team right there!

Well it's almost time to pack her in as far as the outdoor season goes. Just wondering who plays indoor simulated golf in the winter, and what others think of it?

could anyone email me the october newsletter please (if someone still has it) beaeric@hotmail.com thanks

"Seaside Golf" by John Betjeman How straight it flew, how long it flew, It clear'd the rutty track And soaring, disappeared from view Beyond the bunker's back - A glorious, sailing, bounding drive That made me glad I was alive.

http://www.mygolfspy.com/the-best-golf-image-ever/ Nothing good can come with that many swing thoughts. Sadly I recognize most of them! Left URL to give credit to the guys who I'm assuming drew this ingenious piece.

Hi all, you have a really great site here, and I was just wondering who made and runs this site, I would like to make something like this for Nova Scotia if its not too hard to do. Thanks, Mike
