    Found a house

    Hey again all,

    Thanks a ton for all the input when it came to Cartier. I actually will not be getting a membership. My wife and I have recently won a bid for a home on the first tee of Carleton golf and yacht club. Hopefully the home inspections go well.. I will be talking to Kyle (assistant GM) today about an intermediate membership. This course looks tough. Fishing and golfing, gotta love the area. Anybody else around there/ know the course?

    The course isn't that long but it's certainly not all that easy either. It doesn't have alot of undulation and is fairly flat. A good score can be had if you keep it in play.
    Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing, ... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

    Thanks Saint, looks intimidating to me. Only my second year and I played a ton at Madawaska. Really excited for golf everyday

    I've been a member at CG&YC for 10 years and found the course to be challenging for all levels and it plays longer that the 6400 yards on the card. I started out with a handicap in the high twenties and now I play to a single digit handicap. The Pros and the practice facilities will provide you with the instruction and the opportunity to improve your game. I’m sure you will have a great experience as a member and homeowner in the community. Looking forward to playing with you.

    Onto the last inspection for the house. Septic and well. I wonder if all the other houses on Marina drive are septic or if anybody is on city sewage and water?

    I just checked for you with someone that lives close by (and he is a Carleton Golf Club Member as well), and he says that all the homes in there are on well and septic systems, there are no municipal water or sewage services in that neighbourhood... Ensure you've got an alarm on any sump pump (and a spare pump [they are cheap if you consider not having an extra one in an emergency] and have it at the ready should you need it).

    Hope the inspection goes well - you will love CGYC, both the course and the members - make sure to sign up for Mens night (weds).

    Our mens league accommodates players of all abilities. There is a season long individual and team (5 guys) competition and individual and team (2 man) match-play events spread across 4 flights A thru D. Tons of weekly prizes again flighted so its open to those who shoot in the 60s as well as those who shoot in the 100s.

    Just to follow-up on the sump pump thing. I also have a friend just up the road from you------second pump installed and on an alarm system. Seems to be a pre-requisite out there.
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?
