Anyone play Chateau Cartier lately? If so, is the 5th still as bad as it was back in June?
While I'd like to play better, I have zero interest in practicing.

09-18-2020 08:01 PM #425Played Loch March today. Fairways and tee boxes were in very good shape, but I have to say that the greens are not in the shape that one would expect from Loch March over the last few years. Green #6 and Green #15 are particularly in very bad shape. Does anyone know what the issue is with these greens? I know that they punched and sanded their greens in the last couple of weeks or so, but that was not the issue. It just seems to me that the quality of their greens have not been up to the standard that Loch March was known for and you could have counted on when playing there. This is just my observation and opinion as I have played hundreds of rounds there since they first opened years ago.
Course was in great shape albeit a bit soft.

Played Smiths Falls today for the first time in about 20 years.....The course was in great shape. Greens were excellent..fast and true. probably one of the few courses where ball marks were almost non existent. Very impressed. This course is now on the rota.

Played Nation yesterday and the course is in great shape. Just have a question for people who have played this course. On hole number 16 what do you guys do for putting because depending on pin placement if the ball does not go in the hole it keeps rolling back to the front of the green.

Gobble I should have explained it better. Both of us had balls below the hole but when the putt did not go in the ball just kept rolling back to us. In theory you could be putting for a long time. I would of stayed to see how many putts before it went in but fellow competitor had enough and gave me a 20 footer and was mumbling something about mini-putt.

Ok. Thanks God the green is not extremely fast there and it is just severely sloped. I have had a few from the top and was able to lag it 3/4 of the way down. For sloppy green, I deaden the putts by putting with the toe of the putter.
For uphill putts with severe slope, a little side spin would stop the putt at the around the holes. You want to make sure hit it with enough pace to get to or even past the imaginary line extended out horizontally from the hole . Most people are short on uphill putt. For my practice strokes I would do it 2-3 feet below the ball marker to get the feel that I need extra pace.
Yeah you could spend a long time there. Usually we play Stabbleford so it is a "double, double, good-good" and move on to the next one.

I played Nation yesterday and 16 was mini-putt...no other word to describe it. I was 15 feet below the hole, hit a good putt that came up approx. 6 inches shorth. The ball rolled back 20 feet... My group had a pretty good laugh until they had to putt. We decided to play 2 putt rule.
I play Nation 7-8 times a year and I have never seen that green play that fast. The green was so bad that it created a backlog at 16 because everybody was 3,4-5... putting. When we got to 16, 2 groups were waiting and we got to watch the carnage.

Oaks of Cobden Greens Condition???

If you hit the green and stay---give yourself a par and continue on
Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

Played Cascades this morning. $40 + cart is a pretty solid deal for a course that nice. Greens are extremely fast right now and overall in great shape. Can't recommend enough.
While I'd like to play better, I have zero interest in practicing.

Anyone played Pakenham this year? Planning a fall golf outing there this year. Haven't been there for 5 years.

Pakenham is in good shape this year. I hadn't played the course in years because of the declining conditions, but they have done an amazing job getting the course back in great shape. The greens are absolutely fantastic. I don't know if they punched them or not in the last few weeks but if they didn't then you will love the greens. Fast and true.

Trying to find a last minute morning tee time for tomorrow, not much available. Is Stittsville even worth playing?
