If you had to pull the head off an old shaft to re-shaft then 1 hour or more of effort is not unreasonable plus materials/consumables .... grip is extra.

Your welcome, my workshop is pretty basic and for hobby purposes, however, if you were my neighbor, I would help **you do the work** & my fee would be a couple of beers, and if you like beer, that could easily cost you $25.00 ... just another way of looking at it.

 

This is some of the club building stuff I've collected, built my own set of Titleist 718 Ap2 with Steelfiber i95’s ..... it's a fun but expensive hobby, but at least you know what your getting.

Anyone know what courses are open tomorrow?

 

Had a time at Speargrass but they are closed due to snow still on the course.

[Double K]

Booked into Turner Valley at 11am. Never played it before.

I hope you have a great round

[Kale_m]

Played serenity yesterday. Little bit of snow in some bunkers but was not to bad

[Double K]

Still lots of snow, but a nice day for golf.

 

One of the easier courses I've played

 

 

[ZipinZ]

D-K .... nice pic, easy you say, but I still could loose a few golf balls.

 

More snow coming on Tuesday & my home course is closing on 14th .... time to get out for some fall fishin.

Carstairs, Sundre, Strathmore

I didn't know anyone liked dinosaur trail....

 

The tale of 2 nines.

 

Normal parkland course,

 

Then golf in the moon

[Cruisin1966]

Yup, 10-25 cm (up from the original estimate of 5 cm) forecast here in Calgary. Blah!!!!

[Kale_m]

Hopefully melts again....

 

Signed up for the beast 3.0 iron man type tourney at silver wing on the 20th. Played last year was pretty fun

Hey folks

Now that 2019 is done for most, worst season (non) ever...

Is anyone looking into a course membership? If so, where and why?

I will be looking. Just don't know where. One requirement is a decent practice area.

[ZipinZ]

My season has come to an end, played my last round today at Lakewood, a decent 9 hole track near Sylvan which will close tonight & there's no other courses open in our area. My first round was on May 08th, only got 48 rounds in this year, normally get 65+ in a season, hopefully next year we get better weather. Looking forward to spending a few months in Palm Springs this winter. Hope everyone here had a good season.

 

Cheers

I think maybe Edmonton had better weather this summer than Calgary? I got in around 65 to 70 rounds here. All of the private clubs are now closed, but some of the public ones are still open through this weekend. Maybe sneak one more game in this weekend. And then yes, down to Phx and Palm Springs this winter to get a few more in.

[Kale_m]

Will see how the weather holds up. Maybe 1 more round? Played 18 on Friday and 27 Sunday.

25 rounds for me this year.

 

Bearspaw, Golden, Osoyoos Park Meadows and Sunset Ranch in Kelwona were the new courses this year.

I did pretty good. Was just over 40 I believe

[Double K]

I should probably points out that my number doesn't include the men's league I play in since they are only 9 hole rounds.

[Kale_m]

Silverwing is open Friday to Monday on temp greens if anyone has the itch lol

[ZipinZ]

Going trout fishin this weekend, golf is on hold until January, when Double-K makes the journey to Palm Springs for a couple of games.

[Double K]

Silverwing and Boulder Creek are in receivership.

That is awesome for Calgary. I know Craig and he and his staff will be ready to help YYC at Modern. I wish them all the best as Craig is a good dude!

[Double K]

That's fantastic news!!!! I had heard that Club Champion was eyeing a move north, but this might get them to pump the brakes.

Fee based fitting + instruction with the added ability to build custom clubs is a total game changer.

[Kale_m]

modern golf bought the grand slam gold academy off of manitou rd SE. That is where it is going to be

[Cruisin1966]

I'm already prepared to go in for a fitting.

[Double K]

You need more than a fitting......
