My parents moved to a nice little place on a lake north of peterburough in woodview. (anyone heard of it?...driven through it at 110km/h?). So this does 2 things for me. #1 gives me a cottage a 3 hours drive away. #2 gives me a new place to golf! Just wondering if anyone knows of good...

Hi Everyone, I just took up the game this past August and managed to play almost 50 rounds up to the end of the year. I'm in my early 50s, play left-handed and have had some widely inconsistent scores ranging from a high of 106 to 88 - all on courses ranging in length from 5400 yards to 7200. I...

Angus Glen Private: Worth $250K Per Membership? Written by Robert Thompson February 15th, 2007 It looks like the fine folks at Angus Glen have finally determined a model for their new private club near Uxbridge. Rather than trying to sell hundreds of memberships at $80,000 for the new...

For other posters in London, I wonder if this has ever happened to you. At a local course, with a simulator, our tee-time got bumped today. We have been visiting the facility for over two years now, in the winter and for a few rounds in the summer. We booked a time two weeks ago, show up and...

I have visited the Pinehurst resort website and I have decided to go there on the Canadian Under Par package at $154/night. I was wondering if any OG'rs have been there and what they thought of it. I am thinking of driving to Buffalo and taking a plane to Fayetteville. Any other suggestions as...

I like the look and price of that Myrtle trip, and flying there is right up my alley (that drive sucks the life out of me). There's also Ocean City and Virginia Beach to consider. I really have the itch and I have the vacation time to take. Suggestions? Useful links? Interested parties?...

Me and a couple friends want to go play in early March. How far would I have to go south to be able to play comfrotably at decent courses? We want to drive so that must be taken into account I guess. Thank you

Money is tight so we (2) are looking for a place that we can golf and swim (in an ocean) for 7 days. We like the Dominican. However we are trying to keep our costs to around $1500 a piece. Any suggestions? Includes meals, accomodation and air fare.

Just wondering what the process is. How much of a surcharge am I going to pay? Is it by weight? Will they be handled with care (flying WestJet)? Any suggestions? I'd love to take them as carry on and practice putting at 10,000 feet, but I don't think they'd let me! :-)

Just wanted to throw it out there that if you ever get a group to go to Myrtle beach and need to fill a spot PM me. Don't worry I'll give strokes to keep it fair, did I mention I'm a 27 handicap:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
