Does anyone know if there is a new version of the Links golf game coming out soon? I cant seem to find any information on it. the one I have now is "Links 2003 - Championship edition"

This may be the wrong place to post this, but I get an error when I try and register for the Handicapping system here at Ottawa Golf. Server Error in '/' Application.<hr color="silver" size="1" width="100%"> The resource cannot be found. ...

Anybody ever have this happen to them? On the first hole today, as I walked up to my approach shot, one of the maintenance staff at the course jumped on the green, pulled the flag and proceeded to move the cup to a new pin location. I was a bit annoyed as there was no one behind me, and I didn't...

How many of us are on wgt.com here? mikem93 here.

For the past few weeks I have noticed that the Forum does not display correctly on NS Edge. It works on Chrome and on Safari (mobile). Any ideas? I am assuming it is actually a me problem and not a forum issue.

They're talking about the :readheartTiger:readheart Woods video game. http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-09-24 Pretty funny. Kinda reminds me of when I make golf jokes to the wife. :-) Kris

I think I have a psychoneuromuscular impediment! :( It seems for the past month I have been stabbing at the ball around the green. However in practise (when relaxed) I have no problem flopping them up close to the pin. The yips, the dreaded affliction that turns golf greats into pathetic...

What's the longest putt you've ever holed and where? Hit about a forty footer on #12 at the Marshes a few weeks ago for par. Clarke just holed an 80 footer on #13 at St. Andrew's amazing, GO Darren :thumbsup

Hey Big easy! where are you? You've got mail.:)

I finally achieved a long-standing goal of mine... shooting an under par round. I shot 1 under par (70) at Stonebridge today. :banana This round is doubly sweet because the conditions were pretty challenging. The course was playing very long due to the rain and there was a 1-2 club wind the...

Have any of you fine Ottawa golfers had your golf swings analysed at a launch monitor. If so, where, $? and was the feedback useful or not. I was told the best way to determine which ball/driver combo with your swing and ball speed was to go to a monitor. With Father's day coming up I would love...

Anyone play this game - I just heard about it from a friend on Facebook. Looks pretty cool .... https://www.wgt.com/signup.aspx

Just wondering if anyone knows any good canadian websites for buying clubs, used or new. I thought i had a great deal when i bought my last driver from vortex golf, but i got dinged when it came through customs. It still turned out to be a good deal and i am happy with my club but i don't need any...

I know the title is a little misleading, but hear me out. Today is December the 21st, the shortest day of the year. That means starting today, the days get longer, and longer. And that means that golf seasons is getting closer already. Ohhhhh Happy Day! Sorry, must be the fact the world...

Came across this video on the web and thought it was worth sharing :golf

Been thinking and here is my annual Wish/To Do list for the Forum/Booking site. 1. Individual Billing -if you book for three RM members, RM bills each member; 2. Individual cancellation - if you book for three RM members, and one has to bail (legit) then let him/her cancel rather than cancel all...

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...

This could be a dead thread, but I'll try... Was reading a summary of Phil Mickelson's book, and I noticed this, originally about colin montgomery: While I was at the tournament, I read an article in which he was asked why he had not won in the United States. He responded by saying that it...

I keep a variety of stats to see where my game needs help and what improvement I have made over the year. I do this manually in a book, but I understand from talking to folks on the course that there are web sites that will do this. What I am looking for is something that will record score...

Please read the story below. If you wish to donate, you can contact them directly as shown in the information near the end of the post. I will be at the final Ottawa Golf Tour at Heritage tomorrow, so you can bring them along if that's more convenient for you. I think they would like clubs mostly,...

Ok, so I read all sorts of comments here about proper shaft fitting, lies, lofts, flexes, and all that technical stuff. I have never been fitted. I have never used anything other than stock shafts and standard loft/lie clubs. I buy everything off the rack. I shoot in the mid-high 70's and...

It was a long time coming, but I finally broke the magic 80 barrier today shooting a very, very surprizing 79 at Stonebridge. My card included a triple on the first hole, birdies on 6, 12, 13 and 18, 3-putt bogies on 14, 16 and 17 and a 4 putt bogie on 10 :biting: I knew I was having a good...

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...

Going to Halifax next month. Anyone know any golf courses close to downtown Halifax besides Glen Arbour? thx Das

So I was surprised when I went upstairs to find my kids and the wife in one of my daughters room. She is 2 and was singing happy birthday to me (it was cute). I look over and there is a new Taylormade R11 driver, R11 3-wood, and a picture of a golf bag. I was explained that the bag is being...

Had an enjoyable round today at an east-end course. Great conditions and not too busy. Just as we were finishing up a Marshal drove at max-speed down a hill on a service road and out onto the fairway right in front (< 50 yds) my playing partner in mid-swing. After he was well onto the fairway he...

HI Dan. 1) I just tried to book on-line at CLOVERDALE & realized that it along with EMERALD LINKS is no longer there?? I used our site to book at least 20 rounds last season between the two courses!!. Did the Patterson's not appreciate all the business they got?? Our group found it...

Playing Nation this morning my buddy had his big drive just crunched by a suicidal chickadee (guessing, but very small bird). Just a big POOUUFF of feathers & we could see the head spinning down into the gully. We made him play it when we found it . No blood though...:-) Anybody ever lose a...

Would anyone happen to know of any JR camps on the Quebec side? I found a few but on the Ottawa side. If anyone knows please post, thanks alot.

WTF. I finally break 80 and my handicap goes up .2 This game is frustrating to say the least.:grumpy:

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...

Something doesn't seem right with the ELO calculator: http://forum.ottawagolf.com/ladders.php?do=elorating No matter what the score is, the resulting ratings are always the same if the beginning ratings are the same and the winner of the match is the same. Also, the larger the margin of...

I was playing our home course in Buckingham yesterday and saw the Grout Doctor red van.I have seen this van before at different courses and I know it belongs to one of the forum members.Just wanted to say hello and welcome.Can you tell me who it is?:)

That is all

My aspirations, legitimate or not <HR style="COLOR: #006600" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->1. Look to get handicap to 10 or better. 2. Look to play 80-100 rounds. 3. Make intersectional team at club. 4. Get rid of that pesky fade with driver, only club in bag that is not...

I bought the Momentus swing trainer last year. I've been swinging it on a daily basis, which is supposed to keep your swing on plane and increase club head speed. I'm starting to wonder since their #1 endorser is not doing too well lately... (Duval) :) Has anyone used it or know of the...

Here's a question.... How does one make golf friends? I am terribly new to the sport but have all of the typical newbie enthusiasm..... The only problem is this. None of my friends golf (well that's a lie, but none of my friends in a 7 hour radius golf). I can get out a bit with my...

Just an interesting FYI... Last night on the Golf Channel, they had Jim Flick as a guest. He pointed out that based on current technologies, you should get the following results with a driver: 100 mph speed + inside/out swingpath + square clubface + sweet spot impact = 265 yards The same...

A friend of mine sent me the link to this golf trivia game. Give it a try and see how well you score. Don't cheat by looking on the internet for the answers! I was -12 for 9 holes. http://www.cincinnati.com/golf/golfquiz/html/brand.htm

I was at GT today and tried this glove...the sales guy sprayed the grip and the palm of the glove with water and let me hit balls...no slip at all...very impressive. A must have in wet weather. I think they go for $30. http://www.hirzl-web.com/en/golf.html

for example, the first hole at stonebridge (west 1). Its 384yrds from the tees I would play. Does that mean from the tee box in a direct line to the green (is it front or middle?) is 384 yards? Or does it mean its 184yrds to the blue stake and then from there its another 200? 234 to the white...

I know it's not an eagle but it sure feels like one. Get to East 8 at Meadows and I had been drawing my driver most of the day so send it out through the right trees hoping to draw back in before the pond. No such luck and it goes straight in. So I drop on the line it went in before the pond and...

:-) For all of you who know the store "Winners" they are currently having their golfing event sale.I passed by and noticed some great deals on all types of clothing , from Greg Norman to Ping apparel.Average price for polos $20-30. Hard to beat!:fryingpan

Your Liability in Quebec. I belong to a Golf Club located in Quebec. A couple of weekends ago a fellow shanked his drive into the parking lot and took the rear window out of my buddies Jeep. Being a proper sort the fellow went to the Pro Shop and left his real name and telephone number. My buddy...

I don't know about you guys, but was kind of confused with how this all works.. I found this in the new golf digest and found it layed it out pretty good.. So I scanned it.. Hopefully you can open it and read it. Cheers

New movie coming out this Spring check out the trailer here: http://www.bjfilmllc.com/flash/sog_main.html Looks like your typical big screen golf flick, the guy that plays Jesus in the Passion plays Bobby in this film.

I haven't put a picture on a post for months and I don't remember how to do it. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks Chip
