Opening Day 2011...

**John** · 03-03-2011 10:52 AM

Anyone remember when we got out last year, i'm thinking we played Prescott and Dragonfly in March?

Any wagers on when we might get out in 2011? My guess is hopefully first week of April.

**SGH** · 03-03-2011 10:54 AM

We played Morrisburg on March 21st last year. It snowed, but the course was clear of any residual snow from the winter. Not looking like it'll be as early this year.

**Gropper** · 03-03-2011 11:02 AM

I played Casselview March 18th last year. but this year i am going March 26th for my pick!

**leftylucas** · 03-03-2011 11:11 AM

I say March 24 at the Gatineau, they and Casselview are usually the first to open!

**NoBack** · 03-03-2011 11:43 AM

...and with Gropper. Seems greedy to hope for a repeat this year, but I'll be greedy and hope anyway.

**quinner** · 03-03-2011 04:15 PM

I can't remember when my first round was, but I know April 16th Rideauview opened with summer rules. Here's to hoping it's the same this year.

**Shivas Irons** · 03-03-2011 04:25 PM

it's always nice to see this thread pop up every year...i'll say April 1st Calabogie & a handful of others

**Marcos** · 03-03-2011 04:56 PM

March 17th last year at Casselview and thinking around the 1st of April cause of the last pile of crap we got last week.Its gonna be painfull the next few weeks.
Thinking the Gatineau or Casselview in this neck of the woods and prob. Calabogie outside of town.

**Sakuraba** · 03-03-2011 05:07 PM

I've been playing at Prescott or Mapleview the last week of March for the past 6 or 7 years with a varied bunch of fine forum members, its a tradition!

Its significantly further for me to go to Mapleview than to Calabogie, but I have found that Prescott has been the driest early in the season. Sadly, its the farthest & it takes me over 2 hours to get there. Desperate times...

**Hearzy** · 03-03-2011 06:32 PM

March 29th is my pick

**jeffc** · 03-03-2011 06:37 PM

April 2nd

**Andy4Par** · 03-03-2011 06:42 PM

I remember golfing with my father at Calabogie April 1st last year. It's our annual thing. Seems I might also have been part of Gropper's foursome last year just before that. Was that you, me, Rez and Spackler last year Chris? Hoping for early April this year.

**fundonny** · 03-03-2011 06:50 PM

As long as it is April and not May I am a happy camper!

**davevandyk** · 03-03-2011 09:00 PM

I played LVM April 2nd last year as I could not get anyone to go out earlier. There was 8 of us and it was a 6+ hour round. Place was packed!

Hoping for Casselview or Nation early this year.

**Andy4Par** · 03-04-2011 11:11 AM

Thought it was you guys gropper. Was an awesome first day last year. Looking forward to getting out regularly with you guys this year. Got new clubs, an EG membership. Ready to go.

**sailer** · 03-04-2011 12:48 PM

Opening day last year was April 1st here in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Can't see it happening this year as still -20 and 3' of snow and nothing really warm in the next 10 days. I'm thinking April 15th at the earliest. Bad for my golf business too as not as busy as last year at this time for sure.

**chipandput** · 03-04-2011 02:46 PM

Not gonna be as early as last year.

I would say april 7th.

You would've been needing a new 3w anyway.

**Andy4Par** · 03-04-2011 05:28 PM

Hahaha.....yes, got a new and improved 3 wood. Didn't I also break my piutching wedge that day too?

**solstrum** · 03-05-2011 08:54 PM

**Marcos** · 03-06-2011 07:46 AM
