Does anyone know who in Ottawa would carry protective plastic holders that would fit the 3 " X 8" President Cup tickets.......?? The tickets must be visible at all times, and if there is rain they certainly will not last........ It would also be nice to protect them for souvenier purposes. I...

This is a question that I ask many golfers. Do you want to be a better golfer or do you want to shoot lower scores? Is there a difference? Please feel free to share opinions. I do a lot of work looking at the mental aspect of golf. I teach some lessons but prefer to focus on golf...

What is the matter with Mike Weir? He simply cannot put together 4 rounds of golf. Today he was in contention late in the third round when he bogied the par three. He wasn't finished though. On the 18th he decided not to go the the par five in two. He then proceeded to hit two fat wedges into...

From a previous thread. BC MIST: If a rangefinder is going to help my club head approach the ball from the inside, contact the ball just below the equator on the bottom groove with a 2 degree open club face, square at separation, then they should also be banned. 95% of the art of making a...

After reading that one of Thotho's goals for 2006 was to start carrying his clubs, I've been thinking that maybe its time I started pulling (or pushing) mine. For the following reasons: #1 Laziness. #2 Storage: I won't have to worry so much about how heavy my bag might be getting, which I...

Is a putter length measured from the ground up or from the base of the putter? Thanks Mike

Played Chateau Cartier yesterday, not well. On the ninth hole I was over the green to the left. I found my ball against the base of a large pine tree. No right hand stance and I though about trying to turn a club over and hit left. I was on tree roots but had a clear look at the ball. It...

I'm not a good putter but I'm not the worst either, but I could be a lot better putter if I could find some way to deal with this problem. What do you do or say to yourself just before you strike the ball, on a 3 foot down hill putt. I know I should'nt have left myself above the hole, but it...

quote Putting Golf Into Perspective The following is not intended to offend fans of tennis, basketball, football or baseball. It is, rather, an attempt to put everything in its proper perspective. Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and why people who don't even play go to...

Just curious if anyone on this site has there own putting green? I've been think about it alot lately and wondered if anyone else out there has one. I am not sure how hard it would be to make your own and if it would be worth it but it does spark my interest. I know there most likely companies...

The next door neighbour and I are planning on ripping out the lawn on the shared area coz the grass could never grow properly. We thought we should put a putting green instead and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a company that sells materials for building one.

Looking to get a putting mat, anyone have a recommendation?

What do you think about this article? http://www.oobgolf.com/content/fore+play/stats/1-596-Putting_Schmutting.html I was interested to see how much I need to improve to become a decent putter. Actually I am way worse than any level so I guess a lot :lmfao:rolleyes at around 41 putts a round...

When putting around this neck of the woods do you bother? 1)read the direction of the grain(can you actually see if the green is shiny or dark?) 2)see where the sun sets 3)take wind under consideration 4)allow for cross grain 5) etc etc etc

I have recently had trouble with my shorter putts, inside six feet. I think it is mental as I note I am not following through which seems to be due to my (temporary) loss of confidence. Yesterday I had one under three feet and it was going straight for the center of the cup when it dove left as...

We were playing medows yesterday and on the first tee my friend shanked his drive. He pulls out another ball and hits one right down the middle. I went to grab his first ball out of the water but it was sitting right on the edge so I picked it up for him. WHen I picked it up I could tell the...

I tried to find this info online but can't seem to find it anywhere. What is the calcualtion for the 'scoring' of putts on the PGA Tour? I was looking at Tiger and Chad's socring this morning and it doesn't make sense to me... Tiger had 36 putts for 18 holes and it shows his putting...

Has anyone tried this thing? (http://www.qmotions.com/#) It looks pretty nifty if it actually works. Although I don't think the ceilings are high enough in my apartment to actually take a full rip with a driver....

This announcement is enthusiastically welcomed by all...

Does anyone know how the local guys did in the Quebec Amateur in Montreal?

Any Queen's alumni on here? How about your spouse/partner? If so, you might want to check into this. My wife just found out she's eligible. Woo Hoo! Sounds like a good deal. http://alumni.queensu.ca/services/golf/index.htm

Gropper, myself and two friends are playing Rideaview tomorrow and we want to play a skins game. Course handicaps (slope=125) for us from the blue tees are: Chris=7 Reza=15 Player 3=14 Player 4=29 Do we just play with Chris as scratch and us as net difference in course handicap?

I did the swing test where you put tape on the sole of the club to determine where the sole of the club is hitting. Well, in most shots the tape is scuffed near the toe. As well, I seem to be hitting shots to the left.... is this consistant with the results of the test? Has anyone had their lie...

Question for mods. Why do most of you use the invisible mode? Do you get paid or compensated for your services? Do you sneak into other members inboxes?

Do any of the Mods know why if someone left me feedback and a comment why it wouldn't show up in the iTrader?

Question for those who compete in golf tournaments. All those of you who play at a low index factor and compete un tournaments in early spring, what do you do during the winter so that your game is tournament ready in early spring? I would love to compete in early OVGA tournaments but my game...

OK, so in honour of Donald's excellent feat of topping both the PGA and European Tour money lists, which was based sqaurely on his fantastic short game, here is my question: What is your longest streak of holes without 3 putting? Luke Donald: 449 Goochy: 26

Morning all, received a flyer with my paper this AM. Ad for a liquidation of golf equipment, clothing etc. this coming Friday/Saturday. Been to one of these many moons ago in Bells Corners and was disappointed. Seems like it is a couple-of-times-a-year thing. Just looking for comments about the...

Hello, New to this site and new to golf as well ( 4 months). Just wonder if shooting a 112 on a course with a slope rating of 137 would be the same as shooting a 101 on a course with slope rating of 120. Just trying to compare my performance. thank you.

With the recent influx of guys from TGN to OG I'm wondering how come I'm not seeing any signature lines that read: Member of the LOSING 2007 TGN Ryder Cup Team :stirthepo :stirthepo :stirthepo

I've been wondering. Before plastic was invented and even before bakelite was invented in the 1940's, what were golf balls made of?

Without the obvious answer " as many as possible " how many rounds per year do you play on average? And how many do you think one needs to play to improve. This is my first year actually trying to play a lot but as I cannot play during the week very easily I have played nearly 20 rounds this...

I've always been interested in this, but its out of the way. Can anyone tell me if they have storage lockers for clubs there? Oops, never mind, found the info...um, I couldn't see how to DELETE this thread in the edit mode....is it just me?

Just got back from a quick trip to Myrtle Beach. Flew down Thursday the 11th, flew back to Ottawa on the 15th. Played Legends Moorland, Rivers Edge, Pearl East and Grande Dunes. It was a good trip, even with the pouring rain on Friday at Moorland, and the wind kept going all weekend. ...

So here is the scenario. Seller has clubs for sale. Buyer expresses interest in one of the clubs and lets the seller know he is interested and will get back to them later in the day. Seller sells both clubs without asking buyer if he is still interested or should he sell to someone else. Buyer...

Just got back from Poplar Grove, having played in 2hrs 50 minutes (walking). We were the only two people on the course:-) Anyone else have some really quick rounds? BTW there are 3 temp greens (Red/White courses). Two should be gone shortly.

Dont you just hate finding a perfectly good Titliest pro v-1, ruined, with someones initials or balance line in bold black marker on it?...:irked: . Where as this practice started, I want it stopped...:talktothe... lol. Cheapos/duffers like myself, rely on finding lost balls to stock up on our pro...

The following quizz was sent to me by TOUR IQ; http://www.cincinnati.com/golf/golfquiz/html/brand.htm If you select a wrong answer, the ball stops and you are charged with one stroke. Select the right answer and the ball continues to the hole.

I was playing with a group of guys and one of them said the funniest things I have ever heard. No word of a lie (and this is coming from a very experienced golfer) he says: "It's not O.B. if I find my ball" hahahahahahaha!

What putting drills do you use and to fix what problem. Funny that all we talk about is full swing mechanics and driving distances. PGA tour stats show that putting, especially inside 10 feet, is a must to win. Look at tiger for instance. If it weren’t for his amazing putting abilities he would...
