Well, technically yesterday, but the email went out today. ...

Going on a trip and I am looking for suggestions on golf theme books to read while away. I am not looking for instructional books. More like A Good Walk Spoiled or Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, which I have already read. Thanks

Thought i would start a post for folks to comment about the 2022 golf season. My putting was much better, thanks to wifey getting me to have a routine. Who knew that's all it takes LOL. Driving accuracy also improved by 12 deg, senior shaft draw face driver. (thanks to Chieflongtee who sold it to...

Wandering through the channels and came across this : Don't know if anyone has been following LIV golf but they are showing it live on TVA Sports (Quebec en Francais) today and on the week-end.

On the idea of "distance claims" can we come up with a question that will give a more reasonable picture of distance. Let's try the following: Which club would you use if you had 170yds to the pin? Just because I know there will be questions: - no elevation change between you and the pin -...

Has anyone switched to larger grip sizes and noticed a reduction in finger joint pain?

Good morning, I haven't picked up a golf club in over 7 years but wanted to get back into things. It may be worthwhile to start with some lessons. Can anyone suggest a good instructor in the south or east end? I'm out in Russell now. Cheers

Open for registration. Good luck all!

A few good analysts out there, but...I honestly think Brandel Chamblee is the best out there. Anyone else who can rhyme off stats like he can?? He does his homework.

Tried for the past two days to log on to make my picks but site won't load. Anyone else having difficulty ?

Anybody else thinking about going this year? The last time I went was in 2010 when it was last at St-George's. My son is 15 and very much into golf now. I was thinking about going with him.

Any rumblings of this event taking place this year? I realize the situation could change quickly, but I would think by now some planning has been happening with the anticipation that it can take place.

I am thinking of joining Kanata Links (club Links). Anyone a member here or has played on this course? I would love to get some feedback on the course. Thanks, Muthanna

Went with neighbours last Tuesday(all seniors) and had a great day. Golf course is in excellent condition and was quite busy but we played in less than 4 hours. I beat my age and no I am not 105. LOL

Is it better to replace a divot or fill it with sand/seed? FYI - I Always carry a sand/seed bottle. When I take a nice divot, I always question which to do. I hate leaving the divot just lying there if I decide to fill it.

I made a post about this before just wondering if there’s any changes from the beginning of the season

Anyone else dealing with sore hands or fingers? I am trying to figure out the cause and how to manage it..but golfing a few times a week doesn't seem to be helping.

I had a fitted set made from LesMcBride back in 2014. The other day, the shaft broke on the driver and the clubhead came flying off the shaft. Any reco's on where to get it repaired? My concern with taking it to a regular store is that they won't know what the specs were for the original club...
