Any else notice it is harder to arrange a game this year?

[rezadue]

In the past years, it seems like the arrange a game forum posts would get replies almost all the time. It was never hard to find someone to play with.

This year I am noticing a lot of posted arrange a game threads, with no replies.

What gives? Are people playing less?

I have become a lot more involved with the club I belong to, I've only golfed at one other course once (before mine opened)

I haven't even played a single round with my good 'ole golf buddy Hoolio, who, judging by his recent clubsg scoring run, is ripe for a beating.

[Eagle_Hunter]

I'm usually up for a round Reza! But I do agree, not as many people interested in arranging games as last year.

This one's for jvincent...

It's the cost of gas...

I usually don't know if I'm playing or not until a day or two before. The only rounds I have actually planned this summer have been my matches.

[XTOUR]

I agree Reza! I think it just has to do with timing. But I think the board has changed and many people are reluctant to play with people they don't know.

You know it buddy! LOL.

Maybe your hitting it toooooo far with your new toy and nobody wants to hang with you...hehe

[rezadue]

Why don't you invite me to playa round with you instead of making fun of my pea shooter driver

Done deal.. I will set it up soon but it will have to be when im not working.... how about this saturday just after 5 at kanata... if a time is available

[Sakuraba]

I have my 8 year old who now wants me to take him, and I am barely able to make time for that. I do recall playing a lot of fun games with forum members, though. Its just time and priorities. I miss my Belleville crew.

[rezadue]

Sounds great. Count me in.

Beautiful. I will book a time and send you a message tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Rez if you want another shot at Rivermead let me know and I can show you and Gropper how to hit a peashooter around the course effectively.

Well, we don't have to go to Belleville to watch Hoolio try and pick up the front desk girl at the hotel.

Next Sat will work for me

[rezadue]

Depends on the price Adam. As the course did not wow me, I would be reluctant to pay anything more than $50.

[jeffc]

sat the 30th? I might be able to do that....

[rezadue]

Cool.

[rezadue]

Cool, lets book a 4some.
You me and Will so far. Where do we want to play?

[Marcos]

I am playing less this year for one and not playing outside of our course as much. Only been out a few times with some fellow OGers. I hope to join a few of you later on in the season when things settle down.

[Break68]

I would be into playing with some OGer's, just a matter of this work thing that gets in the way.
Work is for chumps!

[John]

Let me know where you 3 decide to play on the 30th i'd like to join!

[adam]

Then I suppose you would be reluctant to return. As of right now my cost per round this year is $25 and there's lots of season left :p

[rezadue]

done and down. Jordan, Will,jeff and Reza.
Where do you guys wanna play and early?

[Wilster]

I'd like to get out early (7/8 am) and i'd take a go on loch march or a similar course

[John]

I like the 7 or 8 am start as well, the earlier the better.

As a relatively new member to the forum and becoming a little more active online within it, I would suggest that it might be a good practice for those looking for a game to identify a little about themselves and the type of round that they like to play. For example, I would indicate that I am a 14/15 handicap, like to play in the afternoons on weekends, could care less where and play a relaxed game where, if you want to hit 2-3 balls to the green for practice if no one is pushing - fill your boots! Non- competitive - life's too short! lol

I just think that letting people know how you like to play may breakdown some of the perception barriers that some of us have when guys are hunting down some games. I am sure that if I joined in to a really competitive group of guys with 2-3 handicaps, I'd simply drive them nuts and it would not be much fun for any one of us. Just a thought....
