:grumpy: Please, someone tell me that the Ottawa area also had some wet snow today:biting: I was watching TV, my dog was outside playing. Suddenly he jumps on the back door, his usual way of letting us know he wants in. I go to let him in, no wonder he wanted in. IT WAS SNOWING :eek: :eek: Of...

:jitter As I was heading home today I happened to drive by the Royal Ottawa golf course when all the sudden out of nowhere comes a familiar projectile my way. Tried slamming on the brakes but lo and behold too little too late. :eek: Directly into my windshield. Fortunately no damages whatsoever. I...

In my first season of golf I was scoring consistantly in the 105-115 range. This year I set my set myself the target of breaking 100 without mulligans, gimmes or footwedges. After a couple of close ones (100, 102, 103) I finally did it yesterday at Gatineau. The round did not start well. The...

As the subject says, I'm sure many of you will not believe what I'm about to say, but I swear it's all true. I played at Equinelle tonight. I had an albatross on #6. I holed a 7-iron from 188 yards. Now, #6 is 'only' 480 yards long from the tees I was playing... and it was downwind... but...

I had an invite to play Camelot this afternoon and whimped out because of the heat and humidity. Is anyone actually playing golf this afternoon? If you are I salute you..you hardcore golf addicts :)

I was at a funeral yesterday. After the service we went to a restaurant with family and friends. Dinner, wine, we had a good time. At the end of the night we all said our goodbyes, I was shaking hands with one of the guys and I told him "good game". ugh

You go to the Golfworks to pick up some ferrules...... and come back with ferrules and a Frankly Frog putter head.

As with all 12-step programs, in order for How to Quit Golf to be effective golfers must first admit that perhaps they’re not handling the game as well as they could be, and they may possibly have a problem associated with their golfing. Below are questions that the suspecting golfer should ask: ...

There was really slow foursome in front of my group today. They took 3 practice swing before each shot, they were never ready when it was their turn to hit, and there was 6 holes wide open in front of them!!! So after waiting a few minutes for them to get out of the way, I topped a shot and...

I'd like to test a You-Tube player that we could use here on the network to showcase user's swings. There are basic tools available from You-Tube to do this (and more features coming) so I'd like to do some testing. If anyone has a You-Tube video of themselves hitting send me a link so I have some...

Subject: Golfing There's a fellow who is a golf fanatic. Every Saturday morning he has an early tee time. He gets up early and eager, golf's all day long.....36 holes sometimes. Well, one Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his clubs out of...

Air Canada told golfer her clubs were on the next flight, but they showed up for sale on Kijiji http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/stolen-golf-clubs-pearson-airport-peel-police-man-arrested-1.3994824

I do not see a link "course closing" in the left menu bar yet, but the season is not getting any younger... So let's start a thread, your top 3 most memorable shots of the year ... so far. Mine are, and until I change my mind: 1. First bunker shot of the season, Malone #4 east. Directly into the...

Okay, I guess now's as good a time as any. What do you want to accomplish in the 2009 golf season? :) I'm taking a different tack this year. No "hard" targets. My plan is take the game as it comes, enjoy every swing, and not be too hard on myself over a less-than-perfect result. Too much stress...

This is pretty neat. DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you do not read the bottom until you have worked it out!

Just wondering what everyone's best shot is right now. For me I've been just terrific with those short pitches to the hole from 25 to 50 feet out. I've been deadly accurate so far this year and have had many, many more par opportunities. :thumbsup All that backyard practice has really paid off....

I am wondering how your club runs their club match play competition? Do you use 100% of handicaps when calculating how many strokes are to be given, or do you use a percentage? ( **. 75 or 80 percent) Maybe something else. ( **. max number of strokes) There is some discussion in our club on...

I generally bring a banana and a couple of granola bars to eat during the round, but a couple of weeks ago a buddy of mine showed up with a dozen Golden Palace egg rolls that we scarfed down during our Thursday evening round, which got me to wondering; What is everyones favourite, or most...

Now that it's all but over (still hopeing for that "last" round :D ), I thought it might be interesting to see what your highlight reals look like. As well as your blooper real. :D As for highs: 1) OttawaGolf Tour success. Thanks to a good bunch of people on our tour this year, I thouroughly...

Latley I have had some crazy long rounds but Friday was the longest round of golf I have ever played. 4 of us Played Smiths Falls on Friday @ 2:15. A tipical round at SF is 3h 45min-4 tops as a group of 4. Friday it took us 5h 10min to get around the course. we had to wait before evry...

September is here, let's get some predictions on how your golf season is going to end. Season best scores or an all-time best score coming???

Tiger: :brownsung #1 in the world. Tiger played against himself. Even when he played poorly, it was by his standards. I get a kick out of him when he talks about how bad his swing is when he just laped the field. Phil Michelson: :sick #2 in the world. Hard to believe... Best Sunday choker...

I just thought a interesting thread would be clubs in your bag that work for you but are a little different. Example a infomercial product, a 15 wood etc etc. To start things off: I bought a la jolla knife fairway wood in winter. After playing it wow!!! It was an infomercial product a few yrs...

Hey all, my wife recently bought me a new iPod for my birthday, not sure what i would use it for.... I downloaded some classical music onto it, and various other music that i like to listen to.... Recently i have been taking it with me on the course.... I found that listening to classical music (...

This is what 204 mph looks like in super slo-mo. Unreal! http://www.pinnaclegolfblog.com/2007/12/06/jason-zuback-hits-the-fastest-ball-in-sports/

Hi Dan, I just spent a few minutes looking through threads, and every item in the thread was sold. As I was getting annoyed with this I thought it would be neat if you could develop a way t close a thread. For example, I am selling a golf club, it is sold, I can then close my thread so people do...
