So I'm looking at buying a cart bag and there were two bags that caught my eye at Golftown today. I have no experience with Ping or Wilson Staff (let alone their bags) so any insight would be helpful. This is the Wilson Staff bag...

Does anybody know of a local supplier for the Big Moss Putting greens? I've recently had a large space on my basement open up and have some room (and permission from the boss.. er, woman) to put a putting green down there. I normally play Golf-o-max during the winter to keep my swing, but as we all...

Received a box of these "Super Long" Dunlop Loco's for Christmas, played 7 rounds this year and have allready broken 3 of them. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I don't think i have ever broken golf balls before. Anyone else find this happening with these balls.

Has anyone played a Pinnacle lately? On a recent trip, I found a Pinnacle Power-Core and an Exception while searching for my ball in the woods. As punishment, I decided to play them until I could hit a bloody fairway. I was shocked - they were actually pretty good - much better than the...

Anyone have any experience with the 2007 Titleist Sunday Bags? It's a long story but my son is at that age where he needs to start carrying his clubs but the fullsize standbags are a little big (putter disappears down in the bag) and junior bags are way too small. I noticed that GT had...

Looking for some recommendations for lower priced sunglasses that are suitable for golf. I'm one of those guys who loses sunglasses or boots them down the driveway (buggering up the lenses) a few times a year so I can't spend a lot of cash. I find the usual cheapo drug store sunglasses fine...

I am looking at buying this unit since the price went down so much (GT $248). Anyone owns one or have used one, any info would be appreciated as I went to their web site and found next to nothing on the SG2 and when I looked at the courses they have mapped, the ones that I play here in St-Jean are...

Does anyone have any information concerning shelf life of golf balls? Do the materials or compounds in a golf ball break down over a period of time even if they are still brand new?

For those of you who don't put away the clubs til the snow fly's, what do you consider (in your experience) to be the best ball in cold weather? :eyemouth

Looking to purchase either a freddy connect or SKLZ swing detective.. I've used the Freddy for years and it has finally conked out on me... boo... if you have either or know where i can get one I'd be thrilled to find out... cklguy11@yahoo.ca

Hi all, I am new here and would like to warn all of the terrible company Zelocity from Scottsdale, AZ. I bought a pureflight unit from them and could never get it to work. There is some bug or glitch in the software. Even though I wanted to use it for baseball, its the same unit for golf. Sean...

hi all, i would like to start marking my balls(maybe my putting will improve:lol2 ) can someone tell me the ratio of salt/water? is it epsome salt or regular salt? thanks.

OK it is not going to work in a golf Sim but for the real green stuff this will be invaluable tech to lower the handicap: http://www.gameyourgame.com/#!/

I thought of more racy thread titles, but I kept it clean!! :) Rediscovered golf last year after a ~10 year hiatus. Getting to the point in my game where I have *some* level of control on my shots, and am interested in testing out different golf galls. In terms of my game, I've been hitting...

Can anyone tell me if the intelligolf software will work on a Garmin nuvi 660? or do I need a PDA device ? Thanks Dale

Hey guys, I am a beginner and trying to buy things that I need for golf. I have recently bought a carry back with 14 dividers, so they might not be needed. But, I am still wondering if they are useful. Thanks in advance. Daniel

Hi Everyone, I just purchased an iPhone and I am wondering what the best iPhone range finder apps are for playing courses in the Ottawa area? I play most of my golf at: Canadian Greensmere Cedarhill Stonebridge

Anyone out there selling a Clic Gear cart?? If so, I am looking to purchase one used!! Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I am thinking about getting an SG4 this year. Just curious if people could fill me in with which courses in Ottawa region have been mapped by Skycaddie? I am a member of Greensmere this year, and wasn't sure if it was on there. I didn't find their name on the list, but I would think...

Does anybody use a foam roller to loosen up their muscles? If so, where did you buy them in Ottawa? Fitness Depot has them for $30, but they must be cheaper somewhere else.

Anyone familiar with the Brunton Ranger Finder 440? It's rated up to 440 yards and has 6x magnification. Currently, it's on sale for $150 ($50 off) at CT. Recently sold a Bushnell Medalist which only has 4x magnification. Dave

This week's Canadian Tire flyer has this range finder sale priced at $99 (50% off regular price of $199). It has 6x magnification and is good up to 250 yards. http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=578 I bought one at $149 during the summer. It's decent. It's no Bushnell. The biggest con is...

I just bought a vintage Ping Anser putter for my second bag and decided to go with one of these new grips, the Fatso 5.0, and so far I must say I am very impressed. The putter is great (I have an Anser in my main bag) but I can really tell the difference that this new grip is making and so early...

Anyone try a pair of Geox shoes? Supposed to be waterproof and breathable. Only place that sells them seems to be GT and some googling seems to suggest they are in the Ecco category of premium golf shoe. Just wondering if anyone has given them a try.

Just bought a pair of Ecco Classic GTX from golfshaftdepot.com They are having a really good sale. I actually went to their ebay store and made an offer. Got them for $115 shipped, tax incl and dollar conversion. Pretty sweet deal on a $300 shoe. Check them out if you're looking for a new pair...

I have been using the Bushnell Neo for the last two season and for the money it is a great GPS but I would like one that shows the layout of the hole and different points on the hole such as the tee line, bunkers etc. With the Neo you can add 4 points but I find that a pain to do especially when...

Anyone no the best place to buy one if these for my driver?

I have a Tour V2 which I have had for years without any issues. All of a sudden it just stopped working. I thought the battery died but with a new battery it doesn't work unless you push the button really fast and a lot with the hopes it will randomly work. I'm waiting on bushnell to see if I can...

Where’s the best place to buy recycled golf balls these days?

Costco Kanata has a full pallet of the Kirkland wedge set if anyone is looking for them.

anyone know where I can find re-finished golf balls? Because I saw someone who had a dozen refinished titleist PRO V1's that they paid about 20 bucks for. The balls looked new.

Hi, I'm a 20 handicapper, and I sure dont hit a ball a country mile, but I would like to get as much as I can out of my equipment. I've read that theres all kinds of compressions and cover materials, but I thought I'd ask the people who actually use them. Any suggestions Make/Model?
