Forum: Local Stuff

.I was wondering if anyone on this forum was part of the Slammer Tour. I was at the golf show at the OAC on Sunday and saw them, also stumbled on their website the other day. So if anyone is a member of the Slammer Tour, I'd like to learn abit more about it. Thanks ______________________ I...

Driving through Belleville/Kingston next weekend and was wondering which track would be more worthwhile playing the Saturday morning after a Senators game 5 win...

I'm doing a little (unofficial) market research and would like to hear from the Ottawa Golf membership. I will be redesigning the website for an Ottawa area golf course and would like to hear from local golfers on which golf course sites and features they like the most. I can not disclose...

With another 30 cm today and 10-15 forecasted for Saturday thought it would be a good time to start a poll of when the Ottawa Golf courses will open for the 2008 season........There is a ton of snow out there to melt folks.............:rolleyes

The Spring Openings Calendar is up! http://www.kingstongolf.ca/spring/index.htm The countdown has begun!

While I was at the golf show today I was talking with the staff at Cedar Glen. They told me that they are clearing snow and with the weather forecast the way it looks they are aiming to open in two weeks. It will just be the back nine which always opens and closes first. Let's get it started. bD

Hi, Does anyone know if and when there's a golf show in Ottawa this Spring?

I'd like to congratulate our 3 draw winners from the Golf Show who have all won Full Memberships with the Reservation Masters OttawaGolf Club Alan King Dorothy Akitt Blair Oldford Thanks to all who came by the booth!

As a part of a networking organization I am looking into a suitable Golf course to hold our networking event. Following are some factors for our choice: 1. Should have a driving range. 2. Must have a place where networking event can occur (inside) 3. Must have a dinning hall for sit down...

What was your last game/course of 2007? How did you do, any memorable shots, which hole? (It looks like we'll be thinking/dreaming about those for some time yet!!)

Hey folks: I'm the editorial director at Ontgolf.ca, and a golf writer for the National Post and Score, among others. We're looking for someone to join our Weekend Hacker team this spring. Essentially the gig involves writing about a half dozen reviews of courses over the summer, and in...

http://www.golfmax.ca/course_sites/03499/ Anyone know which golf courses the coupons are for this year. Is it the same as last year? This show is a couple weeks later than years prior......hopefully spring will get here soon.:bored:

I have passed it a couple of times now , and maybe its wishful thinking , but it looks like a new golf course being developed on the north side of the 417 around exit 79. Its pretty much in the middle of nowhere which makes me doubt that its a new housing developement , and the way the tress have...

Anyone know how far south would I have to drive to find a course open in the US? Pete

Does anyone know if the Falcon Golf Course (Hudson, Quebec)

Packages of 3 left handed Callaway golf gloves for 9.95. No right handed gloves that I could find (and I looked).

Hi everyone, I am a lucky man and I get to have 10 weeks off work this summer. So since I really like golf, I will put in all my time into getting better. I am currently roughly a 23 handicapper. So I was looking for people's opinions on teachers in Ottawa. Perhaps you can post who you...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Al's clubhouse in Ottawa for fitting, etc. I have gone to Artisan before, and Don is great. I do, however, have a certificate to Al's.. and wanted some input before I try it out. Thanks..

Saw this on the Flagstick site: There is a lot of action in the golf retail sector these days. Nevada Bob’s will have a new Central/West Ottawa location coming soon. Also on slate is the opening of the new East Ottawa GolfTown at 500 Terminal Avenue on November 29th. Word is that another...

This is a pretty good show, visit the Callaway booth and they will give you a pin number to input online to possibly win their new Hyper X driver. NICE

Is it still around? The website isn't working for me. Thanks

Anyone know where Mississippi and Maples golf courses are? Also, anyone play Irish hills?

Hey if there is a golftown employee on here can you send me a PM i have a question! Thanks Gropper

We have made a change to the lineup for 2008. Mississippi has been added at $20 7 days a week, and Canadian has been dropped.

Go away old man winter. I am sick and tired of you.:biting: :irked: Yesterday I watched some HD golf and I am not sure if it was the HD goodness or what, but I have been going stir crazy since yesterday, waiting to use my clubs.... At this rate I don't think I will be playing a round till the...

Does anyone know of any cheap or reasonably priced adult golf memberships within 10 minutes or so of Aylmer? I'm not too picky, the course doesn't have to be totally pristine or incredibly challenging. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any feedback on the teaching abilities of Anouk Geulidi? I believe that she's worked at Outaouais and Hylands. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a decent golf school in Ottawa area. I've taken lessons from Kevin Haime's and Danielle Nadon's golf schools and both were fine. Haime's is a bit more expensive but not by much. Looked at Rick Boisvert's but I'm not even sure he is still in business. (I called but no one...

Listed today, as a new listing, Bearbrook Golf Course. $ 4.5 million. 18 holes with 18 more under construction. Anyone looking to buy a course for Christmas I am your agent! :)

Hey everyone, As the title says I am looking for a course with good student rates. I live in Greely (very close to Emerald Links) just so that you have an idea of where I am centralized. I was looking at Cedar Glen as it has a rate of $330 for students. It is a little out of the way but for tht...

Just clicked on the Home Page and noted the Rules listed. Never noticed them there before but no big deal. Did notice however that the two new clubs, Nation and Canadian appear to have some restrictions and I need some clarification. Rule is... Canadian, Chateau Cartier, Manderley, Nation - Can...

We had our AGM today.... New building, this years version... as last years version was over budget so it got cancelled. Anyway new facility is 16000 sq ft +- , spending over 5 million, similar to Le maitre and fountainbleau, log and stone. Quite impressive actually!! they have an extremely...

A new GolfTown will be opening in Gatineau within the next 12 months... :-) :-) :-) Location not mentioned... (I hope it's not too close to my house!!!) The press release from the GolfTown website: http://www.golftown.com/publicRelations/newsReleases/news_01-21-2008.aspx

I was thinking it would be a good idea to get a few guys who use intellingolf together and spend a day every two weeks or so surveying a golfcourse that hasn't already been done. At that rate we would have most of the courses on the OG website done by the end of the golf season. If the course...

Any here a member at Carleton? I am considering a membership there for this season.

Hey guys, I figured that I played about $600 worth of golf last year and would have played much more 9 hole rounds after work if I didn't think paying for 9 holes was a bit of a rip. So I'm looking into a membership this year so if I do want to go play 9 holes on a thursday evening I wont have...

Don't know if this is the right spot for this, but I am wondering if anyone has an idea on how to get in to play Le Maitre? It's a clublink course. We played it a couple of years ago somehow, before I organized our annual trip, but now I get no response when I email the "powers that be" at Clublink.

Interested in hearing about the Mulligan tour last year. How did it go?

OK, I have to write this about Don. He has got to be one of the best guys around and his honesty and integrity are second to none. I went there today to get my new (used) KZG irons checked out as my experiment with impact tape showed me consistently hitting off the heel. I saw the irons were...

Any suggestions on finding 2 clubs stolen from my house by the cleaners after a flood. I'm missing the 3 and 4 irons from my Maxfli Revolution blacks. If anyone see's any laying around in a bin at a sports store or a garage sale, please let me know. Cheers.:irked:

Anyone been yet? Anything worth checking out?

Hi guys/girls, I was just curious if anyone knows of a good simgolf place in Kingston or if there are any good and affordable indoor programs for this upcoming winter. I live in a loft and hit practice balls from a mat but fear I'm bothering the heck out of my neighbours. I'd love to buy a...

Does anyone know when the next golf show/event sale is coming to the Ottawa area?

Hey, I am new to the forums. I am a student living in downtown Montreal and was wondering what there was for winter driving ranges in Montreal. My ideal find would be a cheap place with a membership but anything that anyone knows of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, CHimbued

if so PM me....
