Forum: General Golf Talk

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...

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...

I am looking for advice on the best method to construct a nice indoor putting green. What artificial turfs are ideal? What construction methods did you apply?

Present from my husband, among many other presents. We are heading for North Carolina on Dec. 27th. Staying and golfing at "The Whispering Pines"!!:-) :-) Had finally accepted the fact that I would not be golfing anymore outdoor golf for 2007, and then he booked the trip, what a sweetheart. ...

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....

ok I've left my line making took at home. Does anyone know a way to make a line on the ball without one of those plastic molds you buy t golftown for $9.95? Maybe the mouth of a big gatorade bottle? What would fit a golf ball so that 1/2 was still exposed and I could make a line right in the...

ScoreGolf Top 100 Courses in Canada http://www.scoregolf.com/rankings/top100/top-100-golf-courses-in-canada-2006.cfm Which are your favourites that you have played and why? Do you think there is a course that you have played which is not on the list, but should be and why?

So, it's early evening and you start your round on an empty golf course, by yourself. You take this opportunity to hit some practice shots, but always keep track of the "real" ball in play. Let's say you hit on average 3 balls every shot. You keep score always with the first ball, and never...

Course is open today ! Lucky

It was on the 13th hole at Mont Cascades. Crushed a drive straight down the fairway, then followed up with an equally impresive 4 wood that ended up to about 20 feet from the hole. Step up and probably hit the best pressure putt of my life (perfect line and speed) for my first eagle :-) . Marc

Just an FYI for anyone who may have to replace the brake cable on your Sun Mountain 3 Wheel Cart. I replaced my broken cable with one from a local bicycle shop, total time 5 minutes, total cost $2 tax included. Easy little job!

Left my bushnell rangefinder with magnetic wrap on the side of my golf cart at chateau cartier on Sunday. Just went thru my bag and realized its gone. Called them and the person at the desk said nothing has been returned (without even taking a second to respond or even look) I dropped my cart...

So I'm milling about Nevada Bob's this evening just after 7:00 when they decide to tune in the Sens game, or at that point the pre-game, on A-Channel. The announcer is doing some "fan on the concourse" interviews, when who do I see but our own Geoff Johnston, giving his 2 cents on the state of the...

With the recent spirited discussion on etiquette, I though I would point out these two related articles in the October issue of Golf Digest about an etiquette "incident" with Michelle Wie at the LPGA US Open: http://www.golfdigest.com/features/index.ssf?/features/gd200310diaz.html ...

OK, so I call up Loch March today to check for tee times and they have two spots for me as a single. They slot me into the 11:24 spot. I get to the course and check in. The twosome they put me with is already waiting in the line for the first tee so the starter goes up to them and says that I'll...

Had the pleasure to play a round at Pineview with a visitor from New Zealand. The lads name is "Jumbo"...and no, that's not his size. We were both playing singles on Monday and got put together starting on the 10th hole. This is where the fun began! I asked Jumbo if his golf game was okay. He...

Based on recent discussions about all-time greats.... is Tiger the best? Simple "yes" or "no" here.

What is the highest score you have seen someone card on any given hole. My brother seems to like to punish himself, or write down the real score because I don't keep a handicapp as he says, and carded a 13 the other day. That is not the worst though, back at Dome Hill when I was a member he carded...

What do you remember the most about the last game you played? For me it would be the 16 two-putts I had, plus a one and a three.

So a lot of us are getting out this weekend in the valley. Just for fun, anybody want to post what they think they will shoot for the first game of the year. I think I will play in the 90's for my first game at Presscott. Anybody else?

Will Golfbum keep his crown or is there a new pig in town????? The paparazzi are ready and waiting!!!!!!!!!!

OK, let's hear the hardcore golfer stories. I probably played my last round of the year today at Stonebridge. Tee'd off at noon, holed out at ~4:20. The sun came out at 11:55, which meant it was only a windshirt with vest underneath. Absolutely beautiful day for golf, especially for Nov. 12....

In light of one of our members losing his clubs in a fire at his club's Bag Storage I wonder how many of you have photos of your current bag setup? As Hacker has mentioned in another thread, dealing with the insurance companies can be a hassle unless you have receipts for your clubs. Or photos....

I've been playing golf for four years. broke 100 3 times only played 10 rounds in my life yet practice in my yard every day and go to the range often. curious why i don't have distance. i used to only hit my pw 50 yards! absolutely RIDICULOUS! now it only goes about 60 and my driver 170. i've tried...

I am with Rogers and I must say the picture quality on TGC's PGA coverage is awful. It often looks like an over-compressed mpg like on youtube, blotchy washes of same colours and chunky pixelated masses all over. Thank goodness this weekend will be on CBS-HD but with all weekday coverage and...

I noticed Costco Kanata is selling clicgear 4.0 pushcarts for like $280. They had about 6 in stock yesterday. First time I ever saw them for sale there. Fore!

Is there no way to get some sort of feedback rating going again on this site? Perhaps a forum for feedback?

I think it's time that I drop the "John" handle but my creative juices aren't flowing. Anyone have any good suggestions for a suitable forum name?

I think 2008 will see Hunter Mahan win a big tournament, perhaps a major or the Players Championship, for his breakthrough year. Other Predictions: -Woods and Mickelson will win one major each. -Mike Weir will win two tournaments this year. -Annika will return to form and win a major. -Paula...

We've all heard of tennis elbow, is there such thing as golfer's elbow or is it just me? I've been experiencing discomforts in my left elbow from practicing alot of golf over the past few weeks. I don't know whether it originated from my Jiu-Jitsu, getting a few too many armbars put on me or...

Golf Avenue & Golf Town just increased their pre-owned club prices just before season start. Isn't that nice of them.

Hey guys, Thought this could be helpful to many - I know of a few places (Canadian, Metcalfe) that offer free golf on your birthday, or 6 months later for the winter born... Any other courses that anyone knows of? TIA

Indio, you have been holding out on us. I just came across this while searching for the best price on a Graman Shaft. A clubhead named after you. :thumbsup Do you get the royalty rights money from this product? If not you should be going to court buddy! ;)

Ok guys Who's been good this year and is going to be getting something under the tree from santa? Anyone going to convince the kids that santa left you a new golf club??? Any equipment being bought this year for yourself?? :-) Gotta admit I'm looking at getting a new shaft (another Aldila...

When you are using a cart you can enjoy luxuries of a massive staff bag with everything including the kitchen sink in it. When you to carry your clubs it a slightly different story; bags aside has anyone here ever put and thought into the ultimate club selection for the walker? I really do not...

Played golf the other day and like most golfers have done I forgot a club right beside the green. I didn't notice it for quite some time so I had no idea where I left it. On getting back to the clubhouse I waited for some golfers who were behind me and asked if they had seen my club and believe it...

Hey everyone, I had a magnificent meltdown on # 8 @ Equinelle on Tuesday night....160yds par 3 over water, elevated tee. Not that hard a shot, right? So, I hit my 9 iron by mistake instead of grabbing my 6 iron and put the first 2 in the water short before I realized the club in my hands...

No bedtime story this year folks--too busy shovling. Before we all get so busy that we forget if we are coming or going --I just want to say to everyone have A very Merry Christmas and to thank everyone for a very hilarious year and especially to the "two" social convenors :) Very much...

Went out for my first game of the season yesterday with an old college chum. Metcalfe was in wonderful condition (unlike me) and I was hoping for a great day. Unfortunately we were paired with a couple of simple servants who ruined my day. I like to putt my puts and play the ball under the rules...

Not sure if I will ever get the chance do this again (would love to thought) shot 70 holes of golf in one day. Started at 7:30 am as a twosome, stopped for lunch, became a threesome, stopped for supper, became a foursome and finished around 9:15 pm or so. Even got to try out my twighlight...

I know most of you here are long time golfer, but please tell me what was your score on your first year golfing? how long did it take you to break 100, 90, 80, 70 or so. and what you do to improve your game? lession i had a fews.( i pratice everyday) physicly, but mentally there's no way for me...

For those of you that are experienced, and heck even those that aren't, what would be your criteria for conceding a putt in match play?

A few years ago pace of play on this region's public courses was a big topic in Flagstick Magazine. I've found a lot of the public courses in this region are guilty of slow play again, and not doing much to manage it, except Glen Mar which has the most active marshalling I've seen anywhere. I...

:confused does anyone remember when the courses opened last year??? sitting here wondering when we first played and noone can remember..
