    Kanata G & CC

    Had the great pleasure of playing the Kanata G & CC today with 'the lovely Mrs. O'. What a delight! Great conditions tee to green AND NOBODY ON THE COURSE!? Let a member through late in the game and questioned him as to why? He stated that it was 'a golfer's course' - busy in the early mornings and vacant normally in the afternoons. Hmmm???? I consider myself to be a golfer...and one with a pretty good index (11)? I play 100+ rounds per year and do so normally over 40+ different courses normally? and I would prefer to play in the heat of the afternoon as opposed to the early morning cool and rush? I will take the under 4 hour round on a beautiful course on a beautiful day without seeing another soul anytime??? I wonder what that makes me?

    Tx Kanata G & CC! Will do that again...real soon!

    Nothing wrong with you or your status as a "golfer" Some people are just "special"

    Kanata was ALWAYS empty last year as well. I could play anytime between 2 and 5:30 PM, and have barely anyone on the course with me. With the exception of Men's Night of course.

    A lot of people aren't fans of the course, unfortunately. Something about them slicing it into houses...

    Hmmm??? That would be some pretty big slices and hooks??? I really enjoyed the course...plan to go back in a couple of weeks...will be sure to play in the afternoon again...

    I golfed a tournament there some years ago with a dude who could really boom his drive (300 + yds). On one drive, he truly hooked it, about 40 degrees to the left ! That ball had to have gone a good three blocks into the residential area !

    I played it years back and i hit a massive banana slice on a dogright par five that most definitely made it into the houses.

    Kanata has lost a number of members over the last couple of years for a number of different reasons. It has always been a good course to be able to go out to later in the afternoon to get a round in.
