Forum: General Golf Talk

Not sure how successfull other's seasons were, but I'd have to consider mine a success. 1) Got the index to the lowest ever (currently at 3.7) 2) Was part of the winning side of the battle of OG vs TGN 3) Made my club's Intersectional team for the first time ever and acutally won a match and...

1. Routine - something you do before every shot (good or bad) 2. Something you do because you feel you will not play well if you don't (not the same as routine.. something that actually shouldn't make a dif if you do or don't do) 3. Lucky ball marker? Lucky tee? Lucky ball??? ME?? 1....

Sorry for the delays in getting the forum back online this morning. All the customizations I have done to the forum are making it a bit of a pain to do the upgrade. Some things may be out of whack until I finish but I wanted to bring it back online as soon as possible. It may go offline a few...

This is sort of Golf related so I posted it here......please feel free to move it if it should be moved. I got myself a nice little "tan" today. I was wondering what everyone uses for suntan lotion while playing golf. Obviously I want something that won't make my hands greasy.....its been my...

With the addition of two little girls to my family (and consequently the loss of one income because of ridiculous daycare rates), I am looking at a long and boring summer unless I can find a way to reduce the cost of golf. Of course, the Ottawa Golf Club Reservation Masters would be my first...

Sorry to gush but I have never won a thing in my life until now!! JeffC sent me a link to a golfworks contest a while back and I ended up being the grand prize winner for Canada! Won a three day trip to Scottsdale Arizona for a two day private clinic with Hank Haney, round of golf, airfare,...

I don't think this is a repost, but I found this quite interesting. I'd love to go to one of those TopGolf Range/nightclubs, that looks awesome. http://youtu.be/QFEYC4Z44v0

Not sure if this has been posted before, but this guy from Montreal is officially the coolest dude! He's a real good golfer, and has a sense of humour. http://youtu.be/Csy6_JMzqq8

i found this golf game. these two japanese guys heckle you while you play, but the funniest thing i've found so far is a hidden cheat. If you press U while playing a UFO flies out and disintegrates your club. hehehe http://www.findtobu.com/en/game.cfm

Will this drunk ever stop blaming beer on his lousy golf game? How come this society chooses to embrace these lovable losers and defend them at all costs? He was a better player when he was drunk he shoulda stayed that way. He beat on his wife and kicked the bejeezez outta some old man in the...

.... but I'm gonna need alot of convincing as to why i shouldnt sell all my clubs right now! the way I've played the last 3 games i feel like tennis would be more suited for me... the racket has a bigger sweet spot. shot 95 at Greensmere with John (Jordan) 86 at Edgewood and i was 18...

Post your encounters with wild animals while golfing including any of those that you know of second hand. Here's a news article about a pack of wolves at the golf course in Prince Rupert, BC (AKA City of Rainbows)...the course is located on the edge of the city along with many civic facilities...

Is there anybody that you just love to play golf with, they don't have to be good or bad just fun. I have a few people that I really enjoy their company and some of them are really good golfers, enough to make me play my "A" game to beat them. There's Mike Lacey with his beautiful fluid swing, Andy...

What is the point of being a member somewhere? I mean it would only make sense if I could get some of my friends to also become members there otherwise I would just be playing alone or playing while my friends payed $40 to play the course everytime. Also, isn't 1/2 the fun playing different...

OK, so I conducted a little experiment last night. I took driver and 3W out of the bag and played with 1-iron hybrid, 5W, and 4i -> wedges only. The experiment was to see if by "playing safe" off of every tee would my score improve or not by avoiding the trouble that driver brings. Executive...

I get asked this a lot, so... What weekend road trip worthy courses are there, outside of the coverage of this site? Something that a group would drive 2-4 hours and stay for the night. To be stuck in a car with four full size men for three hours, it would have to be something special to be...

Since the forum fun day where i easily would have posted a score of over 100 if i had properly kept track score wise my golf game has officially gone to complete hell. I haven't even breathed on the 70's since then with the closest being an 84 at the Canadian. It's like i've forgotten how to play...

I remember a number of posts asking us what our goals were for the season. I didn't reply to those threads but I definitely achieved some goals this year: 1- Drop my index under 4.0 - It sits at 3.5 right now 2- Break par at least once - Did that last weekend at Fontainebleau - 71 3- Caddie at...

Who in your opinion is the greatest golfer of all time? Ben Hogan? Arnold Palmer? Jack Nicklaus? Let's hear you.... :)

I tried to post my score for a round at The Meadows and the Golf Canada handicapping app couldn't find the course. I found this strange because I posted a round earlier in the week without issue. I emailed Golf Canada and was told that The Meadows was not currently a member in good standing and as...

So after the thunderstorm passed through Kanata around 2:30-3:00pm today, I decided to head out to Kanata Lakes after work at 4:30pm to play a round of golf. Told myself that as a single, I should be able to get 18 in. funk-like and myself did it on Wednesday as a twosome. So I thought.... The...

Ok I know this is not a nice subject. I've been thinking without golf it is going to be a very, very long winter.:grumpy: I was in Golftown a couple of weeks ago and noticed a Golf Simulator they have there. Apparently you can hook it up to your computer and play with your own clubs ( hitting...

Anyone know what happened? Is it an on-going knee issue? "John Daly collapsed on the ninth hole at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. and then withdrew after being helped off, unable to put any weight on his injured right knee.

Looking at the Garmin G8 - wondering if anyone had opinions or recommendations? Thanks, Gerry

Anyone else think they have a gorgeous swing? I’ve been working on my swing the last few weeks and it’s fantastic. Great tempo! It doesn’t look as mechanical as it did a few weeks ago. A lot more natural now. I watched a few clips of Ernie Els swinging on the golf channel and I think to myself,...

I just saw a commercial stating that this year they have been approved for tournament play... My understanding was that they were illegal in tournament play unless an exception was made through a local rule?? Anyone have more info? Thanks..

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...

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...

C'mon people, let's make use of the Ottawa Chat Room that Dan has set up for us. When you log into this forum why not open up another browser window and log into the chat room? I have used it in the past and had a lot of laughs in there. It's there, doesn't cost you a dime to use and it is fun....

How did everyone do this weekend for those of you who were qualifying? I'm not sure how many courses are doing it on the same weekend? We had our first two of three rounds. I played pretty decent on Saturday with a 77 and 31 Stableford Points with three 3-putts. Should have been around 74 I...

Hello folks, Something new for this morning... What's the best 4-man scramble score you've heard about? I'll start this off by saying that I played in the final Chez106 Fairways to Heaven event out at the Upper Canada Golf Course yesterday. We had no wind, and fortunately, no rain! I didn't get...

Has anyone else notice this practice at any other golf course.I play at various places and book tee times either on line or by phone and Equinelle wanted my credit card number to do so,never heard of this,in an era where credit card fraud is rampant and people are trying to do thier best to protect...

I know I got an email stating that the tix were delayed, but I was wondering if anyone has received their tickets yet? As soon as I do, I'll be putting two tickets for the Saturday up for sale (face value)... turns out I can't make it down that weekend :(

Yesterday while cleaning my club after a range session, I got to talking to the guy cleaning his clubs next to me. Started talking about ferrules. He asked about how I like my 910 driver and then he said: I am using an R11S, but put the Rocketballs shaft in it. Works great. Last weekend on a par...

Hello all, I am very curious if alot of players have experienced this... I'll start from the beginning. I started playing golf in 2008, maybe 20 rounds. 2009 probably 40 rounds most of them only 9 holes. 2010 I am playing alot more! Last year I never kept my handicap, but always shot in...
