Who has heard of the CGTF (Canadian Golf Teachers Federation) and/or the WGTF (World Golf Teachers Federation)?

Personally, I don't do it. I find when I do, I lose depth perception. I notice most Tour players, no matter which tour we're talking about, don't wear them either. Some between shots, but I don't often see them on for shots or putting. I don't know if depth perception is their reasoning as...

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...

Hello, I am a newbie started golfing two years ago. Normally I threw the score card away after I finished calculating my score in the end of the game. However I found it'd be interesting to keep track of my golf rounds somehow. It'd be nice to look back in 5 or 10 years. So how you guys do with...

1. Shake hands with a tour pro. 2. Play the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. 3. Play Pebble Beach. 4. Lower your handicap at least five strokes in one year. 5. Make a hole-in-one (or at least witness one). 6. Make at least three birdies in a row. 7. Play at least 54 holes in one...

So here we are almost mid April and feels like mid winter still,so if anyone knows where I can find this global warming place let me know,better yet where can I find David Suzuki or Al Gore...:grumpy:...I don't assume they golf.

I've never done exactly this but have heard about people doing it. I would like to hear about the experience of others in this forum... What happened to me about 5 years ago is that I was playing in Florida with a 73 year old gent who was a very good golfer. At the turn he asked if I wanted...

I am just wondering what people think about making the switch from white to blue tees? I usually play from whatever tees my playing partners prefer but lately I have played some pretty decent courses from the white tees and have played really well. Stonebridge (Blue Tees which are like whites)...

http://www.golfwrx.com/62549/how-far-should-you-hit-your-golf-clubs/ I checked the chart in the article and with my 100 mph driver swing speed the distances are pretty much spot on. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, Got back last night from my vacation in Hilton Head on my continuing mission to play as many of the "Top 100" courses as possible. The target for this trip, Harbour Town Golf Links (#12 on the latest list), the host of the RBC Heritage. I've now played 17 of the current list. A couple...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of carpal tunner syndrome from hitting too many balls , squeezing the club too tightly or both ? My left fingers (im right handed) started to go numb about two months ago and have gotten worse. After researching my symptoms and seeing a...

In light of recent events on the PGA tour, whats the most pain you've played through in a round of golf?

Tom Coyne- Paper Tiger 　 "Consider the golf-greatness pyramid's base, a wide mass of good players, great players, best ball strikers you have ever witnessed firsthand, the only ace you have ever been accidentally, terrifyingly, matched up with—we'll call him or her The Best Player You Know.

We found out not so long ago that the Mrs is going to be expecting (our first) around the end of September. My question is more aimed at the 2014 season and what kind of advice anyone might have about balancing a new born / trying to play some golf. any advice would be appreciated. :)

Imagine how enjoyable golf would be if everyone hit the ball as quickly as Brandt Snedeker does! It is so great to watch someone step up, waggle and swing. No wasted time or effort. So many people could learn from him...

Does anyone know where I can watch golf online or an app for live golf ? Thanks

What golf related gifts did Santa bring you? --- I got a box of titleist pro v1x balls. :)

Hey guys, I am a lefty and I can't find any nice iron sets for $200.00 I have looked on eBay and found quite a few. I never used eBay and have no idea what to expect when purchasing irons. Has anybody on here used eBay for golf clubs? I don't want to get fakes or clubs that are crap. ...

I know the title is a little misleading, but hear me out. Today is December the 21st, the shortest day of the year. That means starting today, the days get longer, and longer. And that means that golf seasons is getting closer already. Ohhhhh Happy Day! Sorry, must be the fact the world...

That time of the year again. Set some goals, and then do whatever you need to to accomplish them. Ohhh, so excited! The main thing for this season is to get competitive. - Play at least 5 competitive (entry fee) tournaments and contend at least once. - Win club championship (on paper this...

Well, seeing how winter is pretty much upon us, except for a few on here still trying to get that last round in, I though why not share your best shot(s) of 2013. Mine was a monster flop shot on #7 Loch March. Playing from the tips in late september, super windy and wanted to make sure I got...

Birdied #5 at Prescott on both Saturday and Sunday. Guess I'll start it this year seeing as NoKids still has yet to get one this year :redface. I'll even steal his format: 3rd annual pledge to charities. :smash $5 for birdies, $20 for eagles (or pick your own amounts to give). Last ...

I was reading an article on the 2012 statistical breakdown for scoring on the PGA. http://www.pgatour.com/2012/r/11/18/stats-scoring/index.html# My question is: There is a reference to 'RTP' for par 3,4,5 scoring. I don't recognize the acronym. I have included an example of it below. ...

Or for you lefty's, every get tired of hitting left handed? Would golf be more fun if you could do both? Wouldn't you understand your swing better if you practiced both ways? Wouldn't you get less muscle spasms if both sides of your body were worked out rather than one side? ...

I thought it was just me who was not hitting the ball as well, but I've definitely noticed that my ball flight is easily 1 club less than what it was in August. Doing some research online combined with some common sense (cold air being more dense), I confirmed that your distance can be affected by...

What constitutes an unfair or unreasonable pin placement? Played a course today (won't name it), great conditions but at least three of their pin placements were IMHO unfair to most golfers (and I'm being very generous). They were either at the bottom or middle of a relatively steep grade on...

After playing twice in the past two days, I thought about how many strokes I figured I lost due to aeration and top dressing of greens mainly. I figured that about on six occasions today, my ball was tracking right into the hole and then suddenly went off line due to aeration holes. How many...

Let's have a moment of silence for all the balls that we have lost...

Canadian GCC seems to have a good price for membership which is tempting at under $1,500. It has has been about 4 years since I last played the course. However I have been told they have a lot of tournaments and it can be hard to get tee-times. I play mainly on the weekends, and woudl participate...

About a month ago I picked up some toilets from a Home Depot sale. While trying to put one box in my seat of the car I felt an ache in my back sililar to the one I have felt while shovelling snow. That afternoon I golfed and felt fine although I had one shank and gave it no real thought... I...

Hi all, Anyone here going to any of the days of the Ryder Cup this year? I will be attending Sunday singles.

HI , I would like to know what you're using for impact barrier when you hit real golf balls it will be for a basement and i don't have any simulator , it's only to swing 2-3 times a week If you have pics of your set-up , the material used and where you bought it Thanks !

Or at least the last "what in gad's name are you doing!" type of mistake, for now at least lol. Yep, nothing but clear blue sky ahead! Athough it's gonna feel like a consolation prize when/if I break new ground. For a few year now I just kept playing hoping my game and any changes I've...

I'm pretty new to the game, was playing at Gatineau yesterday and left my wedge on the 14th green. I realize it on the 16th, run back and ask the group behind us if they picked it up - no. Keep running, asked the group behind them - no. Get to the 14th green... not there. What's the general...

I was into GT today and picked up a pamphlet on the way out about the Goft Town Trade in event. On it shows trade in bonus' for different Taylormade drivers and woods for trading in used clubs. I didn't read it till I got home. My questions are; 1- Is the trade in value for my used...

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...
