My friend W asked me if I wanted to play at FGC this week since she found a great deal at Golfzing.com. We didn't know that today was going to be one of the hottest days of the year in Southern California! We actually got our cart and were teeing off about 2 minutes earlier than our 1:45pm start time. For most of day, we only had one group ahead of us and no one behind us.
Here's W with a great drive on #2 fairway!
Fullerton GC was still undergoing construction on the front 9 holes especially at #3 thru #6 fairways but the construction crew knew when to take cover when they saw us standing on the tee boxes. The biggest change was on #4 where they moved the green way up from behind the two bunkers (basically turning it into a par 3 course). It played pretty nasty!
We finally go to the 9th tee box at about 3:05 or so. Both W and I had pretty good drives up on the 9th fairway.
Here's W taking her tee shot from #9. Unfortunately the back 9 holes weren't very forgiving as the front 9 on this day to either of us.
At #17, we both had lot of extra strokes ... shamefully, I ended up taking a 10 (I should have just wrote down a double par score of 8 instead).
Rarely do we ever hit into this dirty little pool but we both did! I would blame it on the 104 degree temp but actually it was quite nice outside especially when you're riding in an electric golf cart and enjoying a nice breeze!
We finally finished our 18 holes at 5:33pm. W got her only par of the day on the last hole, while I tripled bogey the last one (I haven't three putted this much in a really long time). Statistically this was the worst W and I have ever done at FGC in the seven times that both she and I played here. We both shot below -25% from our previous efforts! Oh, well it was still fun and I've learned NOT to take golfing so serious anymore!
Afterward, we put back all the calories that we burned off today at Knowlwoods Restaurant with burgers, fries and soda!
It was a good outing afterall!
