Stumbled on this..interesting https://mygolfspy.com/real-scotty-vs-fake-scotty/

I am happy with my game on my woods and driver. I am looking to upgrade my irons from the 2008 Big Bertha model, to something new. I have never been fit for clubs before, so I figured why not get fit now ;) Also a newbie question, is it normal practice that when getting fit, would you normally...

Looking at the Garmin G8 - wondering if anyone had opinions or recommendations? Thanks, Gerry

I never understood why courses place a large tree in the middle of the fairway...leaving you no options. Too large to go over...and I am not talented enough to hook it around the tree. I don't think the typical golfer should have to deal with that obstacle....seems silly.

Hi everyone, I've been considering dabbling in non-OEM headcovers & was wondering what others currently have in their bag! I've been looking at various online stores & eBay, but would like any suggestions on places you have purchased yours from. I'd love to see some posted pics if you have any....

So, I don't get the value of Golf NOW. A couple of times this past season, I checked their reduced rate against the posted rate at some courses. Each time, it was cheaper for me to buy directly from the course. I recall one time, Golf NOW wanted $75 for 4 people at Thunderbird, but when I called...

Not sure if this is correct but read the course will be demolished and housing complex built in its place. Say it aint so.Anyone have further info.

This would be a dream for me! While nothing beats playing, I love practicing & hitting balls for fun. I wouldn't expect this kind of setup to hit the Ottawa area, but it's a super cool idea. ...

I'm a 10 hdcp. I play around 55 to 70 games a year, My favorite courses are Montebello, Heritage, Marshes, Sorcier, Outaouais, Hawkesbury and.... Edelweiss for the challenge. I've played most courses in the Ottawa Valley in the past 35 years, one of the toughest for me always been Edelweiss. #4...

Anyone know what happened? Is it an on-going knee issue? "John Daly collapsed on the ninth hole at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. and then withdrew after being helped off, unable to put any weight on his injured right knee.

Where does everyone hit balls in the winter? It seems as though Ben Franklin Dome is only open as a driving range during the week, 9am to 4pm. Well...most people are at work at that time. It is too bad that can't slot in an early weekend time or something. I don't really want to play on a simulator.

Had the pleasure to play a round at Pineview with a visitor from New Zealand. The lads name is "Jumbo"...and no, that's not his size. We were both playing singles on Monday and got put together starting on the 10th hole. This is where the fun began! I asked Jumbo if his golf game was okay. He...

Anyone else having an issue entering a score online through the app? It gives me an error message along the lines of there being no slope or rating information available while the numbers are clearly right there. I am probably doing one simple thing incrorrect.

Watching PGA events week after week is so impressive, but I always wonder, what would these guys shoot if they had no cameras, marshalls, fans and grandstands finding or keeping their ball in play? Many of these guys would lose 2 or 3 balls per round off the tee because it is next to...

I am looking for advice on the best method to construct a nice indoor putting green. What artificial turfs are ideal? What construction methods did you apply?

Is there any software or formula out there or does anyone have any experience with managing groups like this. We have a weekend trip with 16 guys, playing 4 rounds. Some guys don't know everyone and most guys haven't seen some of the other guys in a year or more. I want to arrange the tee off...

For the first time, I brought in a few drivers to test out at the Golftown in Kanata, hoping to figure out which of the two was giving me better numbers (and get a regrip while I was there). I couldn't believe the results....I wasn't getting any distance at all, even when it "felt" really good. ...

Golf Avenue & Golf Town just increased their pre-owned club prices just before season start. Isn't that nice of them.

Anyone else having problems since yesterday with booking access

Hi, My wife and I are golfing in Malone. Does anybody know of the quickest route to get there from Ottawa via 416? Thanks :thumbsup

Not sure this belongs in this forum, or in the (Club-Making). I just took my clubs out, to get ready for a Vacation in Florida. Over the winter I have developed Arthritis in my Hands. So when I grip my clubs, It HURTS like hell. I've been looking into it and have found some common Aids....

Did anyone else see Rickie Fowler throw his ball towards his caddie (Joe Skovron) after he picked it up from his pitch shot onto the 15th green?

dunno if this poll has been done before but im wondering where people on this site stand in their handicaps? seems as though there are alot of good golfers here, and im just curious

I voted yes.

Played, what I assume will be, my final round this season today. Given the cold weather, I decided to play from the white tees (approximately 6,000 yards). I'm going to make this really short - I had a great time! I shot a 76 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I wasn't looking for balls and had a...

Well had my last game of the year played at Canadian. Was pretty good shape, although few temp green as covering up greens for winter. Should have been a sad day, but I got my very first hole in one on 9 west at 100 yards. Didn't roll in was a slam dunk. Made it even sweeter. Called my Mom to...

About a year ago I was surprised (and annoyed) by a group of young fellas with a boombox playing while they golfed. Fortunately, they were only within earshot for a few minutes on that occasion. Last week I noticed a group in my league had one going. They were a couple of groups ahead of us,...

I have kenneth smith oversized 4(x2) 8 (x2) 6 (x2) and a pitching wedge, a putter and 1 10.5 driver they all have a gold crown on the and ks 2000, can anyone tell me what they would be worth? I am looking to get rid of some extra golf clubs we have

Morning all, received a flyer with my paper this AM. Ad for a liquidation of golf equipment, clothing etc. this coming Friday/Saturday. Been to one of these many moons ago in Bells Corners and was disappointed. Seems like it is a couple-of-times-a-year thing. Just looking for comments about the...

Hey guys, got a hole in one today at Sorcier, my first but hopefully not my last. It was on the second par 3 on the front nine, #7 before you go back to the clubhouse side. That hole is appropriately named "L'Enfer" or "Hell". Today's pin was 194 yards and on the left side of the green. I hit...

Played golf the other day and like most golfers have done I forgot a club right beside the green. I didn't notice it for quite some time so I had no idea where I left it. On getting back to the clubhouse I waited for some golfers who were behind me and asked if they had seen my club and believe it...

I know a lot of you still play tips and whites but i think this year i will be moving to the senior tips. I have never been a long hitter by no means and its just getting harder for me to reach par 4's in two. I just want to enjoy the game more. Re-joining Buckingham after 4 years and look forward...
