Forum: General Golf Talk

As the title says. Why does everyone state the Golftown price of an item when they're trying to sell it in the classifieds? Why should Golftown's inflated pricing affect what you sell your item for or what someone is willing to pay?

Why wouldn't they have yardage books at the ottawa courses?? I'd pay $3-$5 for a book! Once you have it you can just keep it so its not like you would have to pay that much everytime you played there. I don't understand why they don't invest in having someone make these books and then sell...

So, I played today, and having had a disastrous day with my driver the last couple times out, I kept it in the bag (last game I shot a 93 having lost 7 balls off the tee). I hit my 3 iron on all the tees, except par 3s and short par 4s where i chose different irons. Well, huge difference. Wasn't...

I don't get it. I'm sure dan will answer this very quickly but here is my guess. The club link members are to cool to talk to us and don't want us poor people to know they are rich... Kidding, actually I have no idea. Just curious

Just got back from the first round of the year and after my surgery. When I went to the range last week, I was hitting GREAT. Off the mats though. Today, i couldn't hit a driver straight at all. I had to go back to the 2 iron for the back nine, which was awesome. On the first par 5 on the East 9 at...

Why do people call it that?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFodsofd8Q&mode=related&search= Its an awesome shot but isnt a hole in one automatically a better shot?? a double eagle isn't a better shot??? explain please

They just got rid of baseball. IF golf was an Olympic sport that would be amazing. its such a huge sport right now and its growing so fast. Whoever won a gold medal, they would be national hero. Ian Thorpe, Micheal Felps, marion jones became national heros after their wins. It would be bigger than...

I just bought 2 55 degree sand wedges similar to mine off of E-bay and took them to the driving range Sunday to try them out. One had a nasty grip on it (very slippery) but I have a rougher for grips so that wasn't a problem, That club flew about the same as my normal club but the second 55 degree...

Seems like a lot of people are now playing Taylor Made golf balls. Anyone know why? I am finding a ton of them on the golf course.

Its a golf club that you can change the length of right there on the course. You can also change the lie angle and the loft of the club within seconds. I know its not legal but who cares, you can play a round of golf with your metal woods, one iron (mine) and a putter. So, you pull on the shaft to...

It's been a while since we had one of these, and based on my round from Wednesday, let's start another. Started the night badly with a triple on the first that included a whiffed (or fully chunked depending on how you look at it) chip shot, followed by a normal chunked chip. Yeah! Rode the...

Well after the wild storm that went through today we didn't know if we would get to play.. Luckily by 4 the weather broke and off we went.. Started with a par, then another par, then a nice birdie.. then 500 yard par 5.. Had 200 left after the drive down wind hit 6 iron to 20 feet and rolled in the...

What's your wierdest round to date? This has to be my Jackal and Hide round since I've taken up golf... Yesterday at Kingsway Park, which is a wide open, feel good course...Typical weekend morning, after made some eggs for the kids and pleased the boss, I rushed to the course for my 8:20 am ...

thought this would be a fun topic... what is the wildest / craziest thing you've ever done in the name of golf and golf equipment? went golfing the day of your wedding? traded your car for clubs? cuz apparently everything golf clubs related i buy or sell is nuts according to my...

How much effect does wind have on a straight ball? In other words how much effect does a 10 mph crosswind have on ball flight? 20 mph? 30 mph? 40 mph? Is there an equation?

Hi; :-) I have started to collect older golf clubs, some of them are just beautiful. I was thinking of trying to collect the clubs that were used by the winners of the Masters. I have found a list of the winners since the 30's, but no info on what they were playing. Does anyone have any...

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...

Hi everyone, The sad reality of no golf for a while unless you jump on a plane has finally hit me. That doesn't mean the winter has to be a waste however... I'm looking into conditioning routines. Not one where I pay 800$ get a swing analysis and handed some weights; something I can do at...

I am currently planning a week of golf in Florida for the New Year (late January, Early February). Since I haven never played there, having only been there for March Break, I would gladly appreciate pointers for golf courses to play, places to stay, etc; the usual trip planning things. Any help...

Hello, New to the forum and looked around but could not find anything on this topic. My wife and 14 y/o daughter are looking for beginners golf lessons (group or individual). We live out in Navan so anything East of Ottawa and evenings or weekends is preferred. Thanks Tom

for those suffering through golf withdrawal symptoms, anybody interested in getting together to make a road trip south to play a few rounds of golf? cost-effectiveness would be key and the current thought is rental van, overnight drive to gerorgia or further, cheap motels, municipal courses,...

Where does everyone hit balls in the winter? It seems as though Ben Franklin Dome is only open as a driving range during the week, 9am to 4pm. Well...most people are at work at that time. It is too bad that can't slot in an early weekend time or something. I don't really want to play on a simulator.

With the season coming to an end (I hate saying that) what improvements do you feel your game needs? And how do you plan on working to improve over the winter? Are you going to to simulators, an indoor range? I know I have to work on chipping but I don't have the time to practice over the...

Hi, I am looking for a three iron set of wishon hybrid irons; 5i, 6/7, 8/9. Please contact me. Thank you.

Tom Wishon 's Search for a perfect golf club is on for only 18 bucks at Chapters.ca (hardcover).... Just an FYI... I got it from the library and decided I had to have it!

I know some people worry about posting their WITB online but I think a lot of us are pretty bored now that the season is pretty much over and it would be kinda cool to have a WITB section with pics. Anyone else think the same?

Situation: Want to buy a "last-minute" type membership, and I think they're mostly 1 day advance booking...With that said, I'm looking to play 99% of my rounds on weekdays, in the evenings (5pm-9pm ish)....Pineview is close by, so I would play most of my rounds there. So which of the 3 is the best...

What do you think about women Golfers? Are they welcomed on Golf courses? Are they treated with respect? . An article said that men often underestimate women’s skills on the fairways and overestimate their own. The article titled What men think of women on the course...

Not quite the same as the regular course stories, but while playing a fun round with my dad on a par-3, got a hundred yard hole in one...still felt great...pretty cool to see it track in, and then roll into the cup.

While playing at Lombard Glen today I got my very first hole in one today on hole #7. :-) :-) It was such an awesome day for golf, the weather was beautiful and the course was actually in better shape than what I expected. Along with the hole in one I believe I also pulled off by second lowest...

Well, I shot 95 at Metcalfe this morning thanks to a free greens fee from the Rules Contest. I guess things _are_ better when they're free. It wasn't a stellar round. No birdies but only one 'other' so I guess if you just keep grinding, you eventually get a good score. I've reached my goal for...

I know, I know what's all the excitement? Well, I broke 90 for the first time this morning. Been flirting with it all year, teed off at 6:54 at Bearbrook, opened with a par, alright were off to a good start. Anyways, finished with a double bogey 5 on 18 for an 89. I am very happy right now. :-)
