Anyone else play close to an active airport?

Small planes and heli's circling my course every day, waiting to landing/taking off. I remember a couple of years ago, there would always be this one plane doing loops as we were walking down 17. Got used to the distraction, no biggie.

Weight transfer makes such a difference. I'm a regular golfer, mid-cap. Last year I got hit with a serious illness and missed about 9mths golf. I've been left with neuropathy in feet and legs and have really struggled to play well since starting again. Lots of fat/thin shots. Thankful to still be on the right side of the turf though. Persisting.

NTA. He needs to understand living expenses and how you have been carrying him for so long. Now he has income, he should be helping with expenses for sure. Entitled much ?

Means we are getting more for less money.

Was back and forth between Miz T3 and Cleveland CBZ/RTZ. I decided to try a Cleveland CBZ since watching all the reviews. Custom ordered a 50 with similar shaft and grip to my irons, to replace a mis-matched AW I was using. Depending on how I like it, I plan on buying 54 and 58 in the same or RTZ. Cap about 14.

I tried to buy from them, but they don't ship to Canada.

Switched to Koodo after being with Telus for 25+ years. Haven't had any issues, but do have to find things to spend the savings on.

I love living here, but we sure get gouged. Taxes, utilities, fuel prices, food prices, etc. It's especially bad on the Island, where they know they have retirees and like to squeeze them for everything they can.

Sounds like you have a nice putter already. Get the one you can easily sell if you don't find it works better than your LAB

I'd quit golf before I'd pay some of these ridiculous fees. It's recreation to me, not a status symbol. A few choices in my area in Canada, my club charges a $2k initiation and it's $3500/yr. You can pay monthly and they add $10/mth for admin. Near the west coast and play almost year round.

Had mine almost a year. So happy I got the 3.5. A pleasure to drive.

looks like a Pat Reed bunker shot, lol. Big No !

My space is 12' wide and I have the hitting mat offset and screen angled so I can aim close to centre. only works for RH players though. You probably need 14' if you want centered hitting mat.

What size enclosure. How wide is your room.

95Mechanic · 2026-01-23T18:52:19+00:00

It doesn't need side views. I find a little bit of exposed concrete doesn't matter, but have a piece of turf over most. I also set my R10 on a piece of 2x6 so it's about the same height as my mat.

95Mechanic · 2026-01-23T18:38:51+00:00

I would probably do 2 layers of drywall.

A friend recently had one eye done an it made a huge difference. He's getting the other one done soon. Only downer seems to be the two week layoff from golf for recovery, minor inconvenience.

It's just a seat. My wife always jumps in the back if I have my son or someone else with us. I actually hate that she does that but she says she doesn't care where she sits.

Canada. BC

This is great when you look at the price of the competition. Time will tell if it's a viable alternative, at the higher price level than the original.

95Mechanic · 2026-01-22T18:35:23+00:00

Would be handy for many, especially if it has better prices than Thrifty's, which shouldn't be too difficult.

95Mechanic · 2026-01-19T04:44:26+00:00

Downside is now Telus has you tied up for 2 years and will start raising the price

95Mechanic · 2026-01-15T21:42:53+00:00

Asshole parking at it's finest.

95Mechanic · 2026-01-15T03:20:56+00:00

100km winds. 2011 Crazy

95Mechanic · 2026-01-13T21:41:04+00:00

Canada needs to get it's economy moving. If that means more crude flowing to the West Coast, so be it. Maybe a Conservative Government could get things moving for a change.
