What's up with the junior age at almost all courses in the area. I was just looking at a local golf courses' website and they have junior rates. Great, I thought to myself, since I am the one paying for my junior, this saves me a few bucks if we are going together! I scroll down and look at the...

Hey gang, So I just recently got fit and overhauled most of my gear. I'm definitely hitting longer than I was before as contact and ball flight are completely different. I was wondering how most of you learn your distances? I had come to know my old set pretty well over the course of time but I...

Are any of you having trouble accessing the PGA Tour home page? I can access everything else on the Net, but for some reason this site will not connect for me. If you have suggestions as to what I can do to remedy the problem, it would be appreciated.

Check out this course in Tokyo. That is definately a manmade island. Imagine the cost of a green fee. http://forum.ottawagolf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4596&stc=1&d=1157739847

Watching the PGA tour in California and noticed huge crowds, no distancing, no masks? So i checked to see if the state was doing all right withe pandemic and turns out that its still bad out there. Doesnt the PGA tour have anything to say about this? I really dont get it. A few weeks ago inTexas,...

Hey anyone here have Real World Golf for PS2? I have been playing it for the last little while and it has helped my swing quite a bit! Now if only my real score was as good as my virtual score... :lmfao

Does anyone have any idea why the results for this week's tournament have not been posted? No, I'm not asking for myself. True to form, I will be languishing in the basement. However, my wife feels that she has bested me once again ... a common enough occurence and she wants to smilingly point...

Checking my luck., Hoping one good Ottawa golf forum guy found it..

A few weeks ago I stepped in some dirty water on a wet course and it got between my sandals and feet. I played the rest of the round and when i took my sandals off they and my feet smelt like a skunk's ass! So I threw them in the washer with lots of soap and then threw them on the lawn for a few...

I love it.. pgatour.com is webcasting live from the 17th at TPC Sawgrass again this year. Coverage starts at 9 am and goes till 7 pm.. Sweet.

It's been a long time coming, but I finally broke 90 with an 87 at the Canadian today. I've been hovering around 91-92 for about three years, and there has been something stopping me from doing it. Its a great feeling to finally have it out of the way - hopefully many more to come. The funny...

:-) I thought I would post this as we did this last night for our weekly Mens Night. Something different and it was actually quite fun. Everyone will use only 3 clubs plus a putter. Take a deck of cards, cut it 3 times. You can use either the top or bottom card of each cut pile to decide which...

Noticed on the RCGA site that they're taking over the SKINS gofer loyalty program which mainly consists of courses in and around Southern Ontario. A list is here. Also the RCGA announced that Air Miles ™ has signed on as a corporate partner of the SKINS loyalty program. The whole press...

Gotta share this. This morning I made a 40 yard uphill chip-in for a birdie. Felt great! :-)

None for a million years, now two in a row. Same hole, but this time it was an honest "on in two make the putt" eagle :). Of course the hole is 470 and was downwind (5th at Champlain), so basically just a long par 4. I tried to tag it off the tee, lost it in the clouds and was sure it went...

I am a female golfer and looking to get out and play more. The only time I can is if I join a golf tournament. If anyone knows of any upcoming golf tournaments, could you please forward the information to me. Thanks tremmeer20002@sympatico.ca

Was looking for some good deals on clubs and other stuff and saw the site ******and I was wondering if it was a legit site? Because some of the deals they have are ridiculous

O.K. I told my boss to stop the sun from shining and he didn't so it's his fault I'm taking a half days vacation today to play some sloppy golf. I know I will regret this come November when I run out of vacation days but it may hit 70 and that's not going to happen too often in January so I'm gone....

Ok... So it's unlikely anything will ever top the improbable round I had at Equinelle in June, but today's round was pretty memorable. jvincent joined me at Manderley. We played the Central and then North nines. After making a couple of pars by holing a couple of ~4 footers at #1 and #2 we...

I thought I'd share an interesting story… Last week I had a round booked at Stonebrige. The night before, I was doing dishes and sliced a pretty deep gash on the left side of my hand. It was two inches long, right along my pinky knuckle and the inside of my palm. I should've gotten stitches...

I'm #1. Come and get me boys!

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...

I'm visiting my Mom in the London area over the weekend and I have a tee time for Friday morning but I prefer to play with someone rather than alone. Does anyone know if there is a "London Golf Forum" or some other internet resource that I can use to find someone to share my round with on Friday...

I have been having real problems with my membership this year and would like some imput to know if I'm being unreasonable. To me a full membership implies that I should be able to golf pretty much anytime I want (within reason -- i understand that the course will have some tournaments and that tee...

Just wanted to share this with everyone as I suspect we have have this moment when it comes to our golf swing. Anyway, I have been playing the game for about 7 years now. Usually, playing only about 3-4 full rounds and 10 9 hole rounds per year. I love playing though but have been struggling with...

well, I never though it would happen again but I shot a 74 today, 36-38 (par 71 36-35 ) at Grey Silo in Waterloo to tie my PB (I'm a 12.5 index). If anyone hasn't played this track before, it's basically similar to Stonebridge, with less tricked up greens though longer (from the 2nd to back tees...

I'm playing Potsdam this Friday & have never been there. If anyone who has played this course & can provide tips or comparisons to other courses it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have seen software for iphone. IS it also available for android phone?

Man. Mike loves to torture us. He was so close and burned 5 edges yesterday. More pressure on Phil if Mike would have made them and maybe we would have had an amazing finish. Mike showed some good drive yesterday, nice to see again. I was impressed to see how disappointed he was that the ball...

I like it. They've got the new toy that they take all over the course now and are showing everything they can in super slo-mo. They just showed Sabbatini coming out of the bunker and a long putt from Tiger and the picture was awesome. On Sabbatini's shot you could see the club head hitting...

Jarred it with a 60-70 yard SW from the next fairway over. Looked up and down, was looking behind the green when the guy I was playing with goes "it's in the hole" lol. I've had a few putts at it, but the old adage "the first one's a chip in" more or less came true. I made a naturla eagle...

Makes the game a lot easier. Went out with the fellow teachers for the annual end of the year 9-Hole Best Ball. I was hot with the driver and ended up hitting 8 out of 9 fairways and averaged about 230 - 250 a pop (which is very good for me). The only fairway I missed was about two or three...

Sitting in my hammock outside on a nice beautiful day, gf is out till 8pm, golf is on my mind and less than 1 km away. All I gotta do is get dressed and go play. but I dont feel like moving... Something wrong with me or what? For the record, I played 9 holes every day this week and have 18...

Quick question. I've just signed up with golf cnaada to get a valid handicap. Do I have to enter all of my historical scores, or do i only need to enter the last 20? My understanding is that only the 20 most recent ones are counted for handicapping purposes, so I can save myself a lot of time...

Did you set your alarm for 4:30am to catch the coverage?

I just traded jeany1 a nickent driver for a 3w... and now have purchased the driver back and its not even been a week I traded someone a bag of balls for a putter and then turned around and traded the putter for a bag of balls.. I sold wedges for $150, used the money to put a driver......

I read the boys on golf.com. Wondering if I'm missing any really good golf writers out there?
