I'm really not sure http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2003/04/25/news/8072.shtml

Ok is he being ranked so high in the world because Bell is paying off the Sony rankings. Will he ever not choke in a major. I'm starting to seriously doubt his ability to grind it out. Is he a flash in the pan? The experts don't seem to thinks so. Personally I think he may be a Billy Andrade...

Hey how is everyone doing. I am just trying to find a job at a local course. I have experience working in a pro shop in the past. I am an avid golfer who has been accepted into the golf pro shop management at Humber College. If anyone knows of anything please send an email to me at...

For those of you who are pining to get on some real grass, let me wet your appetites. My wife and I (together we another couple from Halifax) just got back from a week of golf in Virginia. The four of us played at the Shenandoah Gof Club in Front Royal, just a short drive from Winchester. We...

Anybody know of any good websites for specific training for golfers.:)

Hi Dan. Is there some way to edit out the items for sale threads after the sale is done?? I'm finding a lot of time is spent reading thru only to find it's gone. Thanks,

Anybody been out to Calabogie today ? feedback would be nice ;)

... at the range or on the golf course ~

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes. "Boy, I'd give anything to sink this putt," the golfer mumbles to himself. Just then, a stranger walks up beside him and whispers, "Would you be willing to give up one-fourth of your sex life?" ...

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.

The first few PGA Tour Tournaments have seen unbelievable low scores by "middle of the winning list golfers", and, sees them driving the ball constantly 25 and more yards further than last year. Has anyone read anything as to the main reason this is happening this year.... something like the...

Check this out, have any of you seen this before? http://www.allinonegolfclub.com I can't beleive a Toronto company is selling this thing, I would only expect this from the States. Shame on you if you actually have bought this club. :nono

anyone having any experience or advice on ebay auctions for golf equipment...is it generally worth the effort or after all is said and done pretty much a waste of time.

How does everyone think he'll do this weekend after a month off. I say he'll make the cut and be in the top 25. He's +1 through 8.

Where do you guys shop for golf stuff on the web ? I know sportsmart.ca already for all around sporting equipment but not too much golfing. I'm looking for a Canadian site not US. Thanks, Rob

I am new to this forum and i have a question, but dont want anyone to get into trouble for saying negative things about a specific course, but here it goes and anyone who responds thank you, you dont have to give me much but maybe your opinion out of 10. heres the question. I plan on buying a...

This guy has had a running golf theme all week. Some may have seen these in the Ottawa Sun, but these are in colour... http://www.ucomics.com/duplex/2003/03/24/ http://www.ucomics.com/duplex/2003/03/25/ http://www.ucomics.com/duplex/2003/03/26/ http://www.ucomics.com/duplex/2003/03/27/

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...

Has anyone ever played Mike Weir's home course Taboo http://www.muskokasands.com/taboo.html $175 for your average joe.

If I had a gizillion dollars like Woods, I think I would be less succeptable to getting food poisoning, especially when his girlfriend had it the night before and was so bad she had to be admitted to the hospital. What and where are these guys getting their food from? Smells bad, tastes worse! Good...

As the golf season is about to kick off around here let's see if there are any creavite good poets, pun makers etc... Here are the basic rules. You can use a player's name and or a golf related term. By now we all know the one about loft(lack of freaking talent) but I'm sure we can come up with...

I am interested in getting a new 60 deg Lob wedge. What bounce should I get, some people say a lower bounce would be better on short grasses and I am leaning towards that, as I would like to have more success around the green on very short grasses. I score in the 80's. Also any suggestions on lob...

Are any of you having a hard time to log on to the Fantasy League to make your picks. I cannot even reach the site, much less log on. Help. I do not want to miss the deadline.

How 'bout I ask a new question this time, rather than copy myself (as I did with my "golf goals of the year" thread). Here's a simple, yet pleasant topic of conversation... our love of golf. For you, is it your time to ponder life’s mysteries? Is it the beauty of the golf course? Is it an...

Check out TSN on Saturday at 2pm est for a one-hour Buyers Guide special from ScoreGolf TV. Bob Weeks and SCOREGolf preview all the new equipment for 2003.

Heard this funny bit of golf "history" today, and was wondering if it is actually true or not: Why do full-length golf courses have 18 holes, and not 20, or 10 or an even dozen? During a discussion among the club's membership board at St. Andrews in 1858, one of the members pointed out that...

I wear a pair of Bite golf shoes w/ soft spikes, love them, quite helpful when I lived on the wet coast. Helped me on more then a few shots w/ traction. Do most people here have golf shoes or do they use whatevers comfortable.

Just got back from Arizona tonight, weather was absolutely beautiful. Got to attend the Phoenix Open on Thursday, followed the Canadians around quite a bit. Mike Weir was doing really well until he had those three bogies in a row but he can sure crush the ball for such a little guy. He was...

I will be going to Denver, CO the end of March. I'm bringing skis and golf clubs, hopefully I can do both. Has anybody golfed in or around Denver? If yes, could I get some suggestions on where to golf? Or if anybody knows of any interesting web sites about golfing in Denver, please pass them...

I have been watching golf on tv for many years and to be honest with you I am really getting frustrated (pissed off) at the commercialization of the game for the viewer. Years ago they never had the number of commercials they do now, it is like for every every minute of golf there is a minute of...

Has anyone been tested on the Taylormade fitting system M.A.S.2 which stands for Motion Analysis Shaft System?? This is for their new R500 series Drivers. Does anyone know who does this fitting?

I am getting quite tired of the weather....I am leaving on the 27th for Pinehurst, NC and they tell me this is the coldest winter they have had for some time. Today they had 1/8th of an inch of sleet and temps around 0 degrees....compared to -30 degrees and a pile of snow...its still going to be a...
