Greetings from Marathon On.

[Indio]

Yah, my new golf buds from Ottawa...love it! And I thought no one was going to answer my post???

We are family, we do not let posts go unanswered Besides, Hacker can use all the friends he can get.... poor guy

My nightmares still consist of me running for my camera or trying to load film while the bride comes down the isle. Sometimes I have pants on.

Lame... after shooting over 1000 weddings and despite it being 14 years since my last wedding shoot, that is still my most common nightmare.

Not even the silliest, nor the williest of us can top that for panic inducing fear. Go figure.

I know some of you are thinking WTF is film? It was popular back in the old days.

I see the medication has stopped working .... poor Agent99

[akbain]

I don't think I ever owned a camera with film......ahahahahah my first dig!!!

My husband and I are moving to the big city soon...can't wait to try out some new courses! We are from a small town 13 hours away, moving to Ottawa will be a big change for us! Looking forward to meeting people on here, and learning a thing or two about golfing in Ottawa area...

I'm from New Liskeard (HWY#11 north of North Bay) which is south compared to Marathon. After I moved to Ottawa I did go to school at Lakehead so would often 'commute' back home bypassing Marathon. I worked with a guy from Marathon when I was at Bell Canada here in Ottawa - Rene Champagne. Perhaps you know him?

[akbain]

I do know the Champange's, small world isn't it? New Liskeard to Ottawa...wow, that's like us moving from Marathon to Ottawa. How do you like it? We're really not familiar with the area, only heard how beautiful it is. I do know you have longer golf seasons than us...we're sure going to enjoy that!!!

My family left me in New Likeard alone (to finish grade 13) when my dad retired and they moved to Ottawa. Talk about child abuse! Turns out it was the best party year of my life. Living alone, c/w a '72 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham - wow!! I left shortly after graduating - over 26 years ago!!

Having grown up in the country, I was attracted to Ottawa as you can get to the wilderness in 30 minutes. My wife and I live n/w of Ottawa in said wilderness just 1/2 hour form work.

Golfing here compared to there is so different. So many more courses - but it seems still too little time.

I haven't seen Rene for a few years. I left Bell in '96 but did run into him at a clinic a year or two ago. I believe he lives in the east end.

Welcome!

Trust me AK.... it will not be long enough

[akbain]

Our course won't be open until May 23rd, they close the course in Oct. We might get 4 months of golf....you have a few more on us.

In a perfect world we would all be able to golf year round...

Besides 13° with rain on Wednesday....

Yeah, yeah, that and a $1.65 will get you an extra large double, double.............but since you brought it up, can I ride with Bugsy on Saturday? It might be nice for her to enjoy her company for a change

Don't forget, all of those 'nice' things come with payments.... especially Bugsy!

The payments are the part that you get to keep

Let me think about that one

Too bad about the rain till Friday.

For my first game I would play Loch March (I think it's $75) as it is probably the best pure public course in the area. However any of the choices from the map on this site are great. You should join up with a discount golf service such as Corporate Golf, Executive Golf, or Reservation Masters to try out as many courses as you can before becoming a member anywhere.

Welcome to Ottawa!
