Evening all! Moved to Ottawa from the UK in May and have only just received my golf clubs from the shippers. I'm now itching to play after 4 months without a game. This is after playing most weekends for the last 6 or 7 years!

I know it's all relative, but I find the cost of a round here to be quite expensive in comparison to the UK. Does anyone have any tips on finding the best prices (other than Golfnow?).

Also, I'm not currently working so have the time to play - any ideas on meeting others to play golf? I'm in my late 30s and live in the south side of the city so would hope to play the courses in this direction if anyone else is at a loose end and looking for a bit of competition.

Happy golfing!
