Forum: Introductions and Greets

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Mark and I have played golf since I was 7. Played throughout high school and for the first two years of college before I was ruled ineligible for my last two years since I entered the PGA of America.

Good morning all, Been a member of the site since late last year but this is my first post.... Just wanted to say hello and admit my guilt when it comes to being a golf nut....I have been playing (well I like to call it playing) for approx. 16 years now and love the game more and more all the...

I just found the site and am kind of new to Ottawa as well. Moved here 3 years ago and have been trying to find a good group to golf with ever since. I'm in my early 30s and currently have a 7 handicap. I enjoy friendly and competitive golf. PM me if you would like to get out for a round.

Wanted to put out an invite to any golfers who may head west! I'm a teaching pro at Hangman Valley in Spokane, WA, so if you are out this way next year, stop by, say hi and play a round! Enjoying the site so far: it'll help get through the winter months!

Hi folks- been reading the forum for a month and have gotten a number of great tips as to where to play. I am mostly playing at Falcon Ridge this year. Hard course for me as I don't hit very far and am not the most accurate at the game at the best of times. But certainly enjoying it all the same.

Hello members of the Ottawa Golf forums! I plan to begin playing golf soon, but my parents are sort of against this idea until next year (main problem is transportation, as my parents work for most of the day). Any advice on what to do to convince them to let me play? Also, any advice on what...

It is nice that there is a forum on golf and other topics close to home. Moved here from London, Ontario and quite frequently was a visitor on the TGN site. Here I can get information on the golf in this area and also get a different prospectus on this forum. Thanks for letting me join this site.

Just joined and am looking forward to all the great info that appears in these forums. Hoping to meet a few of you that are in the 50 - 55 age range, 90's or so in golf scores. Maybe we can hook up for a game or two in the Ottawa area (live in Carp) when company on the course is lacking.

Hi to all. After a several year lay off, (first child) I've been re-bitten by the bug. We moved to Ottawa last summer from Trenton and I just received the official word from the house boss that she wants me to start golfing again.:thumbsup I haven't played any of the local courses since...
