OttawaGolf Fairway Awards

[Kilroy]

This year I think we should see who has the best facilities in public golf around here. I have set up a survey so please take a moment and fill it in OttawaGolf Fairway Awards

Fill it in to be eligible to win one of 3 Memberships for 2012 in the ReservationMasters OttawaGolf Club

Remember, this is only for local public courses.

[nokids]

Just ask Marcos. He's played them all twice already. ____

[Sakuraba]

Great idea, Dan.

[Cruban]

Since so much time is spent on the forum discussing spring conditions, maybe a "Best Spring Condition" category is warranted...just a thought

[Kilroy]

"Best spring conditions" is too weather dependant.

how did Eagle Creek sneek into some of the categories if it is not a public course ?

great track but not accessible to most of us these days

[jeffc]

a little surprised by the Marshes Greens. I fixed 118 ball marks when I played there this summer....

[rezadue]

Agreed! If EC got in there, then you better wipe out a few category winners and add Rideau View at the top. Their greens are the nizzle.

Check out Reza with the hip lingo.

[rezadue]

Word!

Check out Reza with the hip lingo.

[Kilroy]

You are correct about Eagle Creek. I'll fix it.

[big mac]

Pretty accurate results in my mind-------------now I want to compare this with Flagstick !!!!!!!

[Ruskie]

Hmm... I don't get why so many picked Loch March #1 as the best par 4, I always thought of it as rather ordinary, albeit long. What's so special about it?

[mjf]

I believe I picked Loch March #1 as my favorite par 4. My rationale:

- Elevated tee shot / nice view

- HARD... but fair.

I should add that my scoring average on Loch March #1 is likely much closer to 6 than it is to 4.

I don't get the choice of Outaouais West 9 myself. It's just a gimmicky hole as far as I'm concerned. A long iron off the tee and a wedge or 9-iron into the green. Now... as compared to Outaouais East 9, it's a fantastic hole.

[Kilroy]

Results updated - EC removed.

[ChukBoy]

Nation makes a return in the ranks... They we're all over Flagstick as well... It's surprising they we're not in "best conditions" as well since theyre course was in terrific shape all year...

[Marcos]

Was at Nation yesterday and told the owner about the awards. he was not aware but 3 other people mentioned it to him and he was quick to print out a sheet and put it on his counter for customers to see.
OG does make a difference and our opinion counts. Good work Dan on organising this.
