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...

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

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.

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
