Hello everyone, welcome to the forum. Please take the time and introduce yourself. Post anything about yourself and let us know how you found this forum!

Hi, would like to welcome everyone to this new forum (or online community)...just want introduce myself and maybe get to know a few of you here...

I'm 23 and this is my first year playing golf, my score is quite high at the moment, but hopefully with practice in the domes during the winter I will improve. Currently I'm a student at UofT and besides golf I enjoy playing volleyball.

[Ego Woods]

[Serreno]

What up, everyone? My name's James. I'm from Scarborough. I just registered and wanted to introduce myself to everyone on the site. I've been playing golf for about three years now. I play golf video games, too. I still have a lot to learn about the game. I'm sure I'll learn a lot about it on the site.

Have a good one.

Welcome to the board Serreno! So how much golf did u take in this season? And is the season even over for you yet?

[Joegolfer]

Just found this site. I hope it can help me. I'm a bit obsessed with golf. This year during Ontario's active season I played 277 rounds of golf. Does anyone on this site know of another person this hooked? I would like to find out if I set any kind of record.

[Hoz-ay]

hahaha... just found this thread too!
Hi every1! I'm Jose. Been playing golf for 5 years now & I still suck!
Hope some one puts together a "meet" in the spring. I'm sure if you get enough interest from ppl in here that a course somewhere will give us a discounted price.
Cheers & hope to talk to some of you soon.

[Hoz-ay]

oh one more thing... if anyone puts together a "meet" maybe you can implement this for the ppl playing & have various prizes... would make it more interesting... i used this in one of my tournaments & had people put in $10 in a pot... so I had 120 ppl attend so that came out to $1200 for the pot. Gave $50 to fifth place, $100 to 4th, $200 for 3rd, $350 for 2nd, $500 for 1st!

[Mule56]

Hello everyone, welcome to the forum. Please take the time and introduce yourself. Post anything about yourself and let us know how you found this forum!
Okay, I can give a little up. I found this forum through the Golf Channel Discussion Board. Someone posted a link. I'm too old to get a junior discount and not old enough to play the seniors tour (like I'm that good away). I currently play to a 9.6 hdcp. Low round of 77 this year.
The picture you see is a friend of mine, Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule. I have several friends in the music business. Members of the Allman Brother Band, Gov’t Mule, The Derek Trucks Band, Big Sugar, The Phil Lesh Quartet, Black Crowes. I’m nobody important, I just made friends with the right person that lead to some other great friendships. When I'm not working or playing golf, you can find me running around North America visiting some of these guys.

Welcome Mule...what kind of music do your friends play?

hehe, that was me posting on Golf Channel, i guess it worked :)

[Mule56]

Welcome Mule...what kind of music do your friends play?

hehe, that was me posting on Golf Channel, i guess it worked :)Gov't Mule gave rebirth to the power trio. Take Stevie Ray, crossed with Cream and Hendrix, add some Coltrane and you got it. They are now a quartet since the passing of our dearest friend Allan Woody (also formerly of the Allman Brothers Band). Derek Trucks is an undescribable 25 years old guitar player. Blues, jazz, soul, funk in a blender may do it. B.B. Kings says he plays like he’s 65. His wife is Susan Tedschi and she also has her own band. Phil Lesh is the formerly with the Grateful Dead, now just the The Dead and does his solo act based on Dead material. I’ll leave The Allman Brother Band, Big Sugar and the Black Crowes to their notoriety.

Hoz-ay,
Great idea the folks on the Golf Channel DB do this. Find a good priced course, that's fun to play (meaning we don't need to be on the most intimidating course in Ontario). Make new friends and have fun.
Mule

[Mok]

yup, TorontoGolfNuts.com is definitely going to have a couple of meets once the snow thaws! We'll definitely find a good course with a good price!

If you guys know any other golfers, get them here to grow the community! There is a refer a friend link at the bottom right corner of the page.

Hi I'm new here too...I currently don't play golf, but am interested in taking it up sometime soon. Hoping to find some playing and equipment tips from all you pros out there.

I'm 26 and enjoy playing basketball and volleyball (9-man woohoo!) on my spare time!

Hi noback...welcome to the forum. Oh I guess I should intro myself as well. hehee
I've been a member since September but never officially introduced myself. oops :embarasse
I'm a resident of Scarborough. I only really started getting into the game this year but now I'm addicted. :rofl: So I'll be posting a lot about my 2 passions. Golf and Shopping. tehee

So noback were you at the Grey Cup game? I look forward to tomorrow too. I work downtown close to Nathan Phillips Square which is where the parade ends. Can't wait for the party afterwards.

[noback]

Hi Queen and thanks.:)
I wasnt at the game (played a round of golf first) but did watch it with some friends and it was fun to see Toronto win.
I only really started getting into the game this year but now I'm addicted Didnt take you long at all now did it?:D

Hi noback, welcome to the forums! Thx for the congratulatories, so how are you coping with a Senator-less season??

[noback]

Thanks

Actually I kinda hope they are out for the next 5 years. :rolleyes:

I hope they have to get loans to pay their bills. I hope they have to get real jobs like the rest of us. These players are overpaid and dont get what life is really like. Maybe after sitting out a few years and not having the $10,000,000.00 contracts, maybe they will realize what the rest of make in a year and what we can afford to pay to see them. Then maybe we can get back to watching hockey players play a game for the love of the game and not only for the $$$

Look at the CFL and what they make. Now "they" play for the love of the game!!

Besides............... I got me some 67's seasons tickets this year. Better to watch junior hockey than NHL brats.:cool:

[Mok]

in order for them not to make those big contracts, people have to stop paying so much for tickets, merchandise, etc etc....

I AGREE!!!

[Jaydog]

welcome to the forum noback.

[Ems]

Hi everyone, I've been on this site for so long and haven't introduced myself.

I'm from Toronto and just started getting into golf too, not a frequent player but I'm learning a lot from this site and hopefully I'll have more opportunities and $$ to play next season.

Welcome to all the members who joined after me :)

[AnnikaFan]

how much are the green fees in BC?

[eddar]

Hi everyone.

I just joined about a week ago. I was golfing at Pheasant Run and got tagged up with Jaydog and his buddy. They told me about this place and I joined that night or the next day.

I have been golfing since 1990 and I still suck. My handicap is somewhere around 16-18. Although I have had a few pretty good rounds this year. I think my best was 82 at Caledon Woods in Bolton. The best run was one Birdie which followed with 7 Pars. Then I had three holes with penalties in a row. Double, Double, Triple.

I thought I golfed a lot with about 100 rounds this year but that doesn't even compare to 200+ rounds. Way to go!!

My interests at this time are Golf, golf, golf. I am currently trying to put together a computer ( having it made, as I don't know enough to do this myself ). If there are any computer experts out there, check out my upcoming post ( in about 5 minutes ) in the Local Pub Forum. I have questions that need to be answered.....please.

Anyway, enough about me. It is great being here, thanks for the warm welcome and welcome to all new members.

[AnnikaFan]

oh..haha green fees might be more expensive in Vancouver..i was talking about driving ranges here..(so expensive..at least the one in downtown Toronto is expensive...charge by minutes?!?!?!$24/hr?!?! takes me like half hour to warm up!)

green fees in BC ranges from 25- 100s...depending on the course...
for a decent public course..its probably around 40-60 ...

i got to play in a $150 course in the summer as my bday gift :D definately a difference compared to a regular course

[mulliganpro]

Hey everyone,

I finally I found a site dedicated to GTA. Thanks for setting this site up.

A little bit of introduction....have been playing for 'bout 3 years. Nowhere close to scatch, thus the handle mullliganpro. Yes, we must get a tournament of some sort going during the season, that would be great!!

[Jaydog]

welcome mulliganpro! almost finished my second year now and still struggling but having a blast.

glad you are enjoying the site. take care.

[Ego Woods]

welcome ANNIKAFAN!!

welcome EDDAR!!

welcome MULLIGANPRO


Yes, I can foresee a tournament being organized by these nuts sometime in the near future!:D

[Ems]

welcome everyone! it's nice to drop by this thread once in awhile to see who the newbies are. Very excited to hear more about courses in BC. If you have any suggestions, it'll be great to put them in the Golf Review session. When I go visit my family in Vancouver, I'll know where to look up referrals :)

[Queen of the Beach]

Hi Queen and thanks.:)

Didnt take you long at all now did it?:D

Nope it didn't take me long at all. I guess it's because Golf is a sport where I really am competing with my own personal best each and every round. The perfectionist in me gets a little frustrated. But the golfer in me always forgives my last score and wants to try again! heehee

Welcome to all the new members who joined after me. I can't wait for a tournament to be set up next season. ;)

[Focker Singh]

OMG, I've been on this forum since Day 1 and I still havn't introduced myself. First of all, welcome everybody! Great to finally have a golf forum representing the GTA. Why Focker Singh? Well, Focker is from the movie "Meet the Parents" and Singh cause he's my favourite golfer right now.
I've been playing golf for about 7 yrs now but only a couple rounds each year until 3 yrs ago when I really started playing a lot. Love the game!!! I crave golf in my sleep! Hope you get that tournament organized next year cause I'm game!!!

[mikejb]

Hey everybuddy. My name is Mike from Mid-town T DOT.
I am not really sure how I found this forum, but either way it was a good find.
I play around 40 rounds of golf a year if I am lucky, damn job. Most of those rounds are lost balls in Muskoka, Collingwood, Toronto and PEI.

I look forward to interesting discussions.

Mike.

[Mok]

nice, welcome mike! you drive far for golf!

[mikejb]

I do drive far, but most of the time I find a bed/bar to rest on each night, so it works out okay.:D

Welcome mikejb. I love Muskoka and played on two courses there. North Granite Ridge is my favourite ever. I heard PEI has some of the best courses in Canada. How long have you been golfing for?

Hey hey, can't believe Christmas is almost here. My name's Anson, am from Markham.

Hi, my name is Kevin. I've been playing golf for 3 years, but this was my first one playing semi-seriously. I plan on playing at least once a week for next year, and my goal will be breaking 100 for the first time. I'm pretty sure that I can do it. Here's my bag as of right now:

TM R360XD 10.5 deg R-flex
Crappy 3/5 woods from my starter set
Hogan CFT 3h hybrid
Mizuno MX-23 4-PW w/R300 shaft
Mizuno MP 50/54/58 deg wedges
Odyssey White Hot putter
Ogio Vaporlite bag

I played mainly Parkview and Tam O'Shanter this year (still on hacker courses) with a few rounds at Deer Creek South mixed in. I also played Angus Glen North and National Pines as well. Those were a treat!

Just wanted to say "hi" as this is my first post.

Very interesting reading from all the other posts; I've learned a lot of new rules and etiquette.

Maybe I'll see some of you on the courses this year but for now, I am relegated to the Dimarco dome in Mississauga.

[Bogeybog]

I just noticed this thread and wanted to officially say hello and introduce myself.

I have been a lifetime hacker until 6 years ago when I discovered "Natural Golf" and Moe Norman's swing (who is dipicted in my Avatar), took some lessons and for the first time in my life, was able to strike a ball reasonably well. (BTW, Natural Golf Corp has really changed in the intervening years and most golfers who have studied Moe's swing are now using the term Single Axis method, or SA). I subsequently hurt my shoulder (rotator cuff) and rehurt it, resulting in about a 4 year layoff. I started golfing again this past August and played about 45 rounds into mid November. Alas, my short game still needs a lot of work and I can only manage a 21-22 handicap.

My other interests when I am not working (self employed) or spending time with my wife and our dog, are: golf club builiding, gourmet cooking, wine, listening to jazz and tinkering in my tiny woodworking shop.

My signature is a tribute for our dog, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, named Brody, whose nickname is Bogey. I very often refer to him as either the Bog or Bogey the Bog. :dog:

[jsunsun]

Hmm... didn't notice this post until just now.

Anyhow, my name is John. I've been playing golf for ~8 years. I'm a graduate student at U of T doing cardiovascular research. I LOVE golf equipments, probably more than playing golf itself!! Another sport I'm addicted to is badminton.

My most interesting golf experience is witnessing an old lady (probably 70+ years of age) hit a hole in one.

[Chambokl]

Hi guys,

Found this site by surfing the web. It is a fun place to come and look at what golfer have to say. Sometime, I am a bit jealous when I see people golfing in November or in March but...

I live in Kirkland Lake (Norhtern Ontario). I am originally from Hawkesbury (eastern Ontario) and graduated from Ottawa University. I play a lot of golf being a member of our little 9 holes here in Kirkland Lake. It is not that busy so I must play 100 to 200 -- 9 holes a summer. We usually start on the long week-end of May and play until the end of September. Being a teacher gives me a chance to play more but my favorite time is in June where I can play from 6:00PM to 10:00 PM. I just love playing at dawn. It is also quiet so you can sometime play 27 holes after supper.

My handicap is slowly coming down. At the end of last summer got it to 12.

In the last 2 years I played Mont-Tremblant (Le Diable), Val D'Or, Amos, Nottawasaka, both courses in Hawkesbury, Hawk Ridge (Orillia), TimberWolf (Sudbury), ...

Hope to talk to a few of you,

Jean-Guy

[Faemow]

Heyo to all, i guess i'm the only chick in here........PSYCH!!! I got a wood and golf balls in my middle pocket. How'd all of you like that ice breaker?!?! Good? 3 out of 10? Well lemme see, I was referred to by a friend, named ED Lin. Says he knows the creators of this site, and passed the URL to me since he knows I golf. About me, lemme seeeeeeeee. So I've had the same clubs (TM Burners) for the past 6yrs. My handicap is 106-111 (on bad days), I wanna improve, but i think it's a mind game for me now. I wanna play with other people of different skill levels, maybe better than me. Maybe I can meet new golfing buddies, so they can hustle me.

So wuts my initiation to get in this club? Question: How do I start new posts?

My most interesting golf experience is witnessing an old lady (probably 70+ years of age) hit a hole in one.
UofT, ahh, i go there, i'm sure lots of alumna from there
guessing your name is Jason? welcome!

Hi guys,

Found this site by surfing the web. It is a fun place to come and look at what golfer have to say. Sometime, I am a bit jealous when I see people golfing in November or in March but...

I live in Kirkland Lake (Norhtern Ontario). I am originally from Hawkesbury (eastern Ontario) and graduated from Ottawa University. I play a lot of golf being a member of our little 9 holes here in Kirkland Lake. It is not that busy so I must play 100 to 200 -- 9 holes a summer. We usually start on the long week-end of May and play until the end of September. Being a teacher gives me a chance to play more but my favorite time is in June where I can play from 6:00PM to 10:00 PM. I just love playing at dawn. It is also quiet so you can sometime play 27 holes after supper.

My handicap is slowly coming down. At the end of last summer got it to 12.

In the last 2 years I played Mont-Tremblant (Le Diable), Val D'Or, Amos, Nottawasaka, both courses in Hawkesbury, Hawk Ridge (Orillia), TimberWolf (Sudbury), ...

Hope to talk to a few of you,

Jean-Guy
welcome Jean-Guy ... only 1 course in Kirkland eh? maybe you will think about opening the other half of the course (other 9 holes) in the future there!
i drove by Le Diable, it is awesome and breath-taking!

Ok here's a question. Can I start a forum? I'm pretty new at this forum thing. My only question is, without going to Golf College, how do I find information on joining Amatuer tourney's or becoming and Amatuer in general. Please help

Heyo to all, i guess i'm the only chick in here........PSYCH!!! I got a wood and golf balls in my middle pocket. How'd all of you like that ice breaker?!?! Good? 3 out of 10? Well lemme see, I was referred to by a friend, named ED Lin. Says he knows the creators of this site, and passed the URL to me since he knows I golf. About me, lemme seeeeeeeee. So I've had the same clubs (TM Burners) for the past 6yrs. My handicap is 106-111 (on bad days), I wanna improve, but i think it's a mind game for me now. I wanna play with other people of different skill levels, maybe better than me. Maybe I can meet new golfing buddies, so they can hustle me.

So wuts my initiation to get in this club? Question: How do I start new posts?

- Faemow

Hi Faemow, welcome to TorontoGolfNuts.com ... I know a Ed Lin...actually there are lots of females on this forum, i'm sure you noticed by now....golf is very popular amongst the females as well. if you want to improve, one way is to take a series of lessons.

start a forum? i think you are referring to a thread ... and yes you are able to start a thread. to learn how to use this forum, the Frequently Asked Questions (http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/faq.php?) page can help answer a lot of your questions, have a look! Enjoy!

I played Le Diable last year. My wife works with a guy that has a villa he rents out just down the road from there. We took it for a week and played the course in the area. Nice walking down a fairway with the deer following you.

Welcome Faemow, here's a site that should help give you more information. The Golf Association of Ontario (GAO) conducts many Provincial Championships including the Amateur Championship and Mid-Amateur Championship.

I think you would be interested in their Membership page http://www.gao.ca/gao/gaowebsite.nsf/wall/81

and their Rules of Golf and Amateur Status page

[Faemow]

Thanks guys for all your advice. By the way i was just lying about my handicap. It's in the single digits on the good days, 11 on bad. I'm never consistant.

So yeah i worked at the Richmond Hill Golf/Country Club and all the golf pros went through golf school for 3-4 years. I dont' really wanna go through all that just to join tourney's. Is anybody here trying to become pro and is going through golf school? Tell me about it.

I once golfed with this guy, said he was practicing for his CPGA card, wasn't bad. He went through all the schooling. But get this, if you're a pro. Free golf everywhere!!!!

FYI: I think Paul Davies (pro @ RHGC) still holds the record at Eagles Nest. That's such a hard course!!!!!!!!

[Chambokl]

Hey Mule,

Yes the Mt Tremblant region is great. There is another course there called the Maître (Master). It is suppose to be awesome but hard to almost impossible to get on. I might try to go this summer.

Tell your wife's co-worker that if he wants to rent his villa to send me some infos. I might try to organize a group to go there in May. If his villa is close to the courses and is not too expensive, you never know....

Have a good day,

Jean-Guy

[el tigre]

In the last 2 years I played Mont-Tremblant (Le Diable), Val D'Or, Amos, Nottawasaka, both courses in Hawkesbury, Hawk Ridge (Orillia), TimberWolf (Sudbury) Don't know if you've met Reid from the GEA in Hawkesbury, but he introduced me to La Cite this year. What a nice little hidden gem right in the middle of town! Kinda different starting off with TWO par 3s in a row, but variety is the spice of life eh!

[el tigre]

Okay, I guess I was supposed to go here first. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first time I started on 10...

So my name is Terry, and I'm a golfaholic.

Not a day goes by when I don't play golf or practice golf or shop for golf stuff or log in to at least 3 golf forums (I'm a regular at OttawaGolf) or read golf books or...

I tried quitting golf "cold turkey" once. Man, that was a rough day! Never again...

Golf has definately affected my family life. I have a wife and teenage daughter who both hate golf (or even getting up before noon), so of course I hardly see them. Luckily I have pictures of them at the office so I can remember what they look like...

Since I started golfing, my non-golfing friends hardly ever come over to visit anymore. Well, I assume my wife would TELL ME if they ever came over to visit. Hmmmm...

Golf has definately affected my career too. In fact, that's how I got addicted to golf in the first place! I work in the magazine business, and got introduced to the game 6 years ago when I took a job at Golf Canada magazine. So I HAD to try it out, right? Just the one time can't hurt...

Golf would have put a serious strain on my finances, if I didn't live in Ottawa where courses are plenty and green fees are cheap. Even in winter there are about 10 places with simulators (AKA "shooting galleries") where I can get my weekly fix. And contrary to popular opinion, IT IS NECESSARY to have at least 4 drivers and 3 iron sets on hand, just in case. I mean, its not like I paid retail for them...

And hey, I like other stuff too. I referee broomball and I like music. I have a good sense of humour (slightly warped, but I'm sure you've guessed that already). And I like romantic dinners and long walks in the countryside (OK, OK that last bit was golf-related too).

So now I've taken the first step, and admitted I have a golfing problem. Like John Daly though, I'm prepared to live with my demons. So who's away?

So I study @ Carleton, and winter here is fricken freezing. Golf is cheap, I always thought there would be more politicians golfing, hence more golf courses......But there isn't any!!!! they're all on the outskirts of Ottawa. Going to skewl in Ottawa, I cna't practice my game, or blow some steam during the cold that's like 6 months of the year.

Hey El Tigre, you know of any simulators that are close to my campus? Me and some friends are looking but can't find any. We usually go to the range near the airport off bank st. Man that's one ghetto style range, nice employees though gave me a really crappy 3W, but having a club is better than nothing

http://www.ottawagolf.com/rangesschools/index.htm

Carleton, eh? I'm a Commerce grad from a long time ago. I would recommend Golf-O-Max, which has 10 screens and is not far from the campus at Baseline & Merivale. Pineview also has a very nice setup with 2 screens in the east end. The software at Bent Grass in Bells Corners is a little too weird for my taste but some people like it. There's another 3 or 4 places on the Quebec side that I've never been to, and couple of more out in the boonies.

The dome at Lansdowne Park should now be open, if you want to go to an indoor driving range in the winter. I believe the hours for golf practice are weekdays only from 9 - 5. The Thunderdome in Blackburn Hamlet is also open - they are open for golf weekdays only from 8 - 4. I heard a rumour that the Airport Driving Range was sold to a housing developer. I only went there in dire emergencies anyway, so no big loss IMHO.

[Mule56]

Maître (Master). .

Great course. We walked on in May during the middle of the week. Not sure if that was normal or lucky. Most course there don't open until the last week of May depending on the snow they get. Best phone ahead before booking your trip.

Tell your wife's co-worker that if he wants to rent his villa to send me some infos. If his villa is close to the courses and is not too expensive, you never know....
I'll get some info for you and a phone number for the villa. It's right on a course called Le Bete. It's on the road that runs right to the mountain.

Hi everyone,


I just found this place yesterday - it's nice to know there are plenty of other golfnuts in the area :)

My name is Alan, and I'm currently in the west Mississauga area. Still getting used to the winters here (came here from Ireland vis Bermuda) & not liking the white stuff - too hard to find balls :D

Looking forward to spending some time on the forum & swapping stories (and maybe some equipment too!)

I wanna go winter golfing.....who's in? Anybody know some courses we could tear up? lol......If i had the money i'd offer winter golf...i'll let you guys tear my course up, but it'll be a little pricey...lol.

[el tigre]

I wanna go winter golfing.....who's in? Anybody know some courses we could tear up? lol......If i had the money i'd offer winter golf...i'll let you guys tear my course up, but it'll be a little pricey...lol. Actually, I thought there were a couple of courses in Oakville (Richview??) and Burlington (Carlyle or Camisle??) that were open on weekends for winter golf. You hit special orange golf balls, and instead of a hole you just have a flagstick. Anyone know if there is any truth to this rumour???

I wanna go winter golfing.....who's in? Anybody know some courses we could tear up? lol......If i had the money i'd offer winter golf...i'll let you guys tear my course up, but it'll be a little pricey...lol.For winter golfing, I recommend http://www.golf-durham.com/4seasons/ in Claremont (some 45 mins drive from downtown, they're right at the east end of 407) - they sometimes open even in the most miserable weather :rolleyes: - don't expect too much (manicured greens, snowless fairways etc...), it's winter - before you decide to head out, check the conditions at 905-649-243.

One good thing - their rules allow free drop in case your ball flies into snow patch ;)

If the temperature climbs above 0 and they're open, drop me a msg - I am always available for a round :cool:

[openflows]

Hi Everybody! Hi Dr. Nick!

My name is Jesse and I've only today discovered this site. I've recently turned 30, and started playing golf again 2 years ago. I started when I was a teenager, but gave it up for a decade for reasons of student poverty and left wing politics. (I've since emerged from student poverty and graduated to the toil of small business owner. The left wing politics remain, and have made peace with golf.)

This past season I was fortunate enough to get in over 120 rounds. Though I must admit amazement at another user's claim of 277? or was it 255? either way quite impressive.

I started this past year playing to a 24 handicap, and with some work I've been able to get down to a 12. You can see my GAO page (http://www.starplan.com/member/lookup/ScoreHistory.aspx?ID=c39811e0y&EGLNumber=418677) that tracks my progress. I definitely recommend establishing an official GAO/RCGA handicap. It's like having a passport in the world of golf. There are lots of courses and events that require one as condition of play. If you don't belong to a private club, you can get an official GAO membership via Golf Town.

Last year I joined the Weston GCC (http://www.westongolfcc.com), which is an incredible local course/club, and has been the main reason I've been able to halve my handicap.


Belonging to a golf club has also got me thinking / brainstorming about the potential for a virtual golf club. I use the Internet professionaly and some of the most important relationships I've had in the last decade have been in "virtual communities". So the idea of a virtual golf club, i.e. a golf club without a course, just a membership, and an internet facility to foster social interaction, has always appealed to me.

I've not really joined or participated in any other online golf websites, however I love Toronto, lived here for almost 25 years, and was quite pleased to find this website.

Golf after all is a social game, and so I like the idea of having regular TorontoGolfNut tournaments or fun games as a way to build community.

So howdy-do neighbourinos! Nice to meet you all. Hope to maybe play a round with y'all once the season gets underway!

Hi Jesse. Welcome to the forum.

If you're ever short a player or two, check out the finding playing partners section. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a willing golfer.

Jesse (http://jesse.openflows.org/)
Wow, 120 rounds is also impressive. It sounds like there's a lot you can contribute about the GAO, your ideas for a virtual golf community (like this one?), future tournaments and your experience at Weston GCC :) . Were you just surfing along on the Net and came across this site? BTW, looks like you've got a pretty good weblog going.

[Ego Woods]

Welcome to the forum openflows.....what are the costs to establishing an official handicap?

[fireice]

I just realized I've been here a little while and haven't introduced myself.

Hello
Found TGN through the OttawaGolf forum.
I'm 36, have been golfing avidly since 2000 where I got the bug golfing at Northlands Golf Course in North Vancouver.
Have since moved to just outside of Ottawa, where there's now a wife and 2 daughters in my life.
I work in the High Tech industry and dabble in Web development also.
I also work part-time at a local golf course.
My father-in-law lives in Toronto and is an avid golfer also, hence we golf in the area.
Played Timber Ridge last summer and had a blast.
Great forum. Peace

Hi All,

I've been posting for a few days and just realized that I have never introduced myself. My name is Heather and I have been golfing about 6 years. I'm 35 years old and wish I had started playing years ago. I was never into golf until someone took me to the driving range and haven't stopped since. I've graduated in the last couple of seasons to the White tee box and shoot in the low 90s. (although 85 from the whites at National Pines was my best round of the season.)

I'm always looking for a round of golf and a course that is prefectly designed for a lefty!!!! I try to spend most of my paycheck at Golftown or on the course!

Other sports I'm in to...hockey and dragonboating.

Hi Gentle Ben. A colleague I know via work is a member, which is how I found out about Weston. And indeed, they currently do not have a waiting list, and are really quite friendly and approachable with regard to membership. It's a great club, and a great investment towards the improvement of one's golf game.

Welcome to the forum Alan. Can't wait to read about some experiences of golf in Ireland! Play any famous or outstanding courses over there?
Sorry guys - I forgot I introduced myself. Too busy selling clubs :-)

The only notable courses I played in Ireland are Druids Glen (former site of the Irish Open) just outside Dublin, and Mahoney's Point in Killarney. I've also played Mid-Ocean and Port Royal in Bermuda. All good tests of golf surrounded by beautiful scenery, and it helps to be a good wind player...

Hey golfers,

I'm not from your neck of the woods, but I'm crazy about golf. I've been playing over 30 years and still have a dream of shooting par for one round.

I'm just an ordinary golfer, but got crazy last year and decided to create something to help golfers practice. Took it to the PGA show this year and had a great time.

I won't post the web address unless asked. I think it would be inappropriate. I hope to make it up to the areas mentioned in this forum, but only in the summer.

Hi there everyone!

check out the tips that other knowledgeable golfers have shared in the golf instruction section.

[overpar]

ok, i've decided to turn off my lurk mode and introduce myself...

my name is overpar and i'm a golfaholic :hush:

been golfing for 4 years now and still trying to break the century mark (although i came close twice last summer!)

i will be trying hard again this year and you will be the first to know when it happens!

im still using my crappy starter set that was given to me when i first took up the game and i think this is what holding my game back!

anyway, i plan to get fitted this spring for a whole new set and take my game to another level. (any suggestion for a good club fitter in the gta?)

Hello fellow golfers.

I just found this site while looking for a women's tour in Ontario.

Does anyone know of a Women's Tour? Last year I play on the GLT, and competed with the men. I did participate in some of the GOA Events and Women's Toronto Star Event as well as the GOlf Scene Group. Am interested to find if there is anything else out there?

[Mok]

hey golf44 welcome the forum, i would suggest you could start a thread on that in The 19th Hole (http://www.torontogolfnuts.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4).

Just posting in here now - didn't realize this is where it is done!

I am 36 - playing on and off since i was 8. Loved the game at first and then hated it! - Got back in my early 20's and haven't looked back since then!!

If Mok was the one who started this site - Way to GO! I have been looking for something like this for the GTA area for a while!

Thanks!:)

[parputt]

This is great. Finally a way to connect with others who take recreational golf as seriously as I do! I can't remember where I saw it now but someone was talking about www.parpatrol.com (http://www.parpatrol.com/) and the great deals to be found. The only restriction to me in playing as much golf as possible is MONEY. I logged on and found that if I signed up my foursome I could save tons of cash on my membership fee. The deals are great and there are lots of local courses to choose from. This thing is gonna pay for itself the first time I use it! Thanks to TorontoGolfNuts and Par Patrol for allowing me to play MORE GOLF! After all that's why we're all here, right?!

[Happyfeet]

Hello everyone. Just found this forum on Google. I can't say how happy I am to find a forum like this in my own back yard. Thanks to who ever is responsible. I live about an hour east of Toronto. Like most of you I'm sure, I am a true golf nut. Took up the game maybe 10 years ago but didn't play regularly, then really got the bug about 4 years back. Now I love playing golf, reading anything golf and tinkering with different setups in the bag. Enjoy reading reviews on the forums and buying and swapping clubs. Looking forward to hanging out here with you all.:)

Hi y'all!

I'm a new member here. I'm very impressed by this site. It's amazing! Thanks to Mok for the referral. A little about me; I'm 21 years old and pick up the game from my pops in high school. I go to U of T for school. Hmmm...I'm really into golf equipment...that area fascinates me :P Since I started university I haven't had much time to play as I used to; or even buy any new clubs for that matter. In case you guys are interested...this is what I play:

Driver: 975J
Woods: Callaway S2H2
Irons: Mizuno Pro Forged Irons
Putter: Ping Zing Copper Head

I somehow stumbled on this site recently while looking for equipment reviews...imagine my surprise to find such a great local (T.O.) resource/forum/place-for-addicts-to-indulge-their-wonderful-addiction!

All due props go out to Mok and the rest of the TGN crew...

I myself just got back into golf in a big way last year after a painful 10+ year hiatus (ouch!). But I'm doing my best to make up for lost time - upgraded just about my entire bag within the last 30 days...Golf Channel on heavy rotation (who knew that 2:00 am re-runs of early-round Nationwide Tour coverage could be so riveting?!)...practicing the ol' lobber in the living room (btw: foam balls double as a great cat toy).

Needless to say, looking forward to the upcoming season (any courses open already??...heated ranges can only satisfy the jones so much!).

Thanks again for the forum...glad to be aboard.

upgrade your entire bag recently eh? nice nice, what items did you get? love to hear about it.

[shakenbake]

Mok:

Not sure if I should have saved this for the "what's new in your bag...next season" thread, but since I'm new I guess I can plead ignorance...

New in the bag this season (and since I'm moving up from total c**p, I guess just about everything's an upgrade):

TM 580XD 9.5* driver
Cleveland Launcher Titanium 15* FW
Callaway BB 2004 7+ FW
Titleist 804 OS (precision rifle 5.0) irons
Nike CPR 22*, 26*

(thanx to Ebay for ridiculous deals on the above)...

Holdovers from last season:
52*, 56*, 60* - Wilson Harmonized Wedges
STX Greeny Plus V centre shaft putter

(hmmm...guess which items are next on the "to upgrade" list!!)

...watching the "Buy/Sell/Trade" thread intently...

Hey SNB, welcome to the forum. Why the 10 year hiatus?? Sounds like you were punishing yourself! ;)

[Queen of the Beach]

Hello and welcome to the site shakenbake, GolfaLicious, sandyshooter and all the other new members since I last checked. I've been an addicted TorontoGolfNuts forum junkie since joining last fall. hehee...You will find lots of interesting discussions in the 19th hole and lots of golf tips in the Golf Instruction forum. Take a look around and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. ;)

[shakenbake]

Hey SNB, welcome to the forum. Why the 10 year hiatus?? Sounds like you were punishing yourself! ;)
Well, let's put it this way...the hiatus itself wasn't a form of self-punishment, but the reasons for the hiatus could be considered punishment ;) ...

"How to let 10 good golf seasons pass you by in the blink of an eye" in 4 easy-to-follow, chronological steps:

1. 3 years of university (too busy; student poverty :mad: )
2. get married (too busy; leash interferes with your backswing ;) )
3. 3 more years of university (too busy; student, and other, poverty :eek: )
3a. get divorced (too busy...though your swinging improves for some reason ;) )
4. 4 years of starting up your own business (way too busy...until you learn that you can take clients out on the course and write it off as an "entertainment" expense :) ).

Now, if I could only figure out how to write off golf lessons as a business expense, I'd really be set (even if you're not a golf pro, does this still count as "professional development"?? :p )

Hi All:

Just sign up for this forum and see whether it is different from some of the golf forums in the US. I have been playing golf for a long time and I guess at my age, my game is on the decline. I am a bit of an equipment nut (5 Drivers, 4 sets of irons, too many fairways woods and putters to remembers and cannot bring myself to sell or give any of them away. I would be looking for discussion on equipements on this forum from now on.

I would be looking for discussion on equipements on this forum from now on.wow, that's a lot of equipment. you can always use the B/S/T forum here, it seems to be working pretty well for some of the members. I haven't bought anything but I like looking just to see what's out there. think of what you can buy if you resell all the equipment you no longer use...

so you're on a lot of US sites? does that mean you're american or canadian or something else?

Hi to everyone. My real name is Ian, I recognize a few people here from other golf forums. I am a regular on FGI using the name Greywolf, also frequent TSG and BSG as Lwolf.

Looking forward to visiting here on a regular basis.:D

[Mok]

Thanks Mok, 9 at the moment, not as many as some people but more than others.:)
definitely more than me, that's for sure...9 is a lot! so do you play with one or switch it up every couple of rounds?

[Greywolf]

definitely more than me, that's for sure...9 is a lot! so do you play with one or switch it up every couple of rounds? I try to use the same one most weeks but if it misbehaves then into the closet it goes. I once had a Scotty Cameron Newport Mid Slant which never got out of the closet for 18 months then sold it. I really like them all, the newest is the Olivia by Yes Golf. None of my putters are centre shafted, those do not fit my stroke. I also have 2 custom putters made by Tom Slighter in Washington state. Tom is like a relatively unknown Scotty Cameron but his work is great but pricey. Here is a link to his site...

Hi All,


I've moved to Toronto 7 years ago and took up golf 8 years ago. Wish I had started earlier.
Would like to see a group setup for getting together for golf outings. Seems not many of the people I know golf.
Met one group 2 years ago called"Fairway Wanderers". Everyone exchanged emails and would email for setting up a game one set days. Uusally 3-5 days warning . If you could make you rplied. Once 3-4 people agreed on the day a tee time and course was set. This was great for setting up games and meeting other golf nuts. Group dissappeared.

Anyone interested?

Maybe we could have a TEETIME forum here.

Welcome to the forum Golf4me2, glad to have you on board. Just to let you know, there IS a thread on the forum looking for players. "Find playing partners". Check it out. I'm sure it will come in handy this season. Last year, I met a couple new golfers using it.

Great job on this site.

[lankyq]

After loittering for a while (and spending too much $$$ in the forums), I noticed this thread.

Name is Chris, also a U of T student like a bunch of other people apparently. Played a lot back in high school (7 years ago!!!), but due to living out of town/out of country/not having a car, haven't played a lot recently. Despite a couple of really ****ty rounds of free golf with work last summer, I'm getting addicted again. Can't wait for the first round this season. Next week is looking promising.

I'm trying to figure out how people get in 100+ rounds a year (let alone 200+)!?! That's probably a good decade for me!

[lankyq]

Automatic censorship...wow...what will they think of next!

Hey Golfers,

I'm 24 years old and living in Belgium. Been playing golf for over 17 years, and as a result of that my hcp sets at 0.4 .

I would love to come and play some golf in the states, because there are so many great courses. Only one I ever did was Doral at Miami. So if anyone has a spare room at home, please let me know when I can visit you. I'll bring some Belgian choclates :)

Greetings !!!!

Hey Boyozzz, that's great that you're interested in golfing in the states, but CANADA IS IT'S OWN COUNTRY!!!!!

You should come down anyway, I bet some of our courses would knock your breath away too.

Heyya, thanks for all the warm welcomes!!

I play wherever and whenever I can -- last summer I got to check out Mt tremblant golf -- really sweeet courses! ha ha took me forever to finish some of them though. Even still, I will have to go back this year. My first game of 2005 will be next week at Deercreek. Havent played that one yet, so I'm excited.

Golf now is for golf later... I'm preparing for retirement!! :D

Hello all! Was just browsing this site and I think its fantastic! Its great to find a site dedicated to golf in this city. I'm 24 and only really hit the courses last season (long time hack on the ranges though, nor do I count the little 9 hole executive course that used to reside by the dome). Bought my first set of clubs last year and it really helped me confidence wise. Last year was a good feeling out experience, its really night and day being on a driving range and on a course. Anyhow, look forward to reading everyones opinions and feedback and I'll definately be sharing my course experiences with everyone. Cheers

[golfsmith]

Hey everybody... first time to this site.

New to the sport. Usually golf double bogie.... or double digit! Play other sports as well, and about as good. I live at Danforth and Pape, and don't have a car. So if there are others goin'... let me know! I may be seen on the course with a six pack, and some smokes :hush: Ask any questions u like ... I'll be glad to answer.

Bought my first set of clubs last year and it really helped me confidence wise. Last year was a good feeling out experience, its really night and day being on a driving range and on a course. Anyhow, look forward to reading everyones opinions and feedback and I'll definately be sharing my course experiences with everyone. Cheers

Welcome to the forum Golfsmith. What made you get into Golf? Have you seen our How old is everybody thread? Seems like THE personal question to ask here :D

BTW, if you see someone online, I believe you can PM (private message) them by clicking on their Alias link, and they'll get your question right away.

I tend to golf Sunday mornings but depending on how work goes, i might try and sneak in a few twilight rounds. I've got a few buddies that i go with, i'm looking more for advice and feedback from this forum.
