Golfing with the W's

Golf outing at FGC with my friends, Winston & Wilson.
Came out earlier to warm up on the range.

The three of us got the $25 email special.

View of the #1 fairway this morning.

Me and Wilson, it's his first time playing a longer 18 hole course.

Wilson taking his tee shot.

Winston at #2 tee box, he shot a 99 today!

We teed off at 10:15am and made it to #9 by 12:30pm.

Wilson driving on #10 tee box; we skipped lunch and started playing on the back 9.

We got the 18th hole before 3:00pm.
This was my 4th time playing here this year (15th time total) and third time this month.

2012 US Open

Watching most of the four rounds of the US Open this weekend.
Tiger Woods started off great in the first two rounds and then collapsed in the 3rd and 4th rounds. It became a train wreck that I couldn't stop watching.

2003 US Open winner, Jim Furyk was leading most of the way from the 2nd round up to the last few holes when an errant tee shot hit a tree and he double bogeyed!
Webb Simjpson ended up winning the 2012 US Open but had his trophy presentation interrupted by a "birdman" fan!
It was a very disappointing to watch this tournament this weekend!

Golfer's Paradise - Fullerton

Driving range get together with a friend (helping him breaking in a new set of clubs).

It's been almost 5 years since I was last here, I saw that they expanded their services to include a nice little cafe business (Asian/Korean/American food) here. In fact, the place was totally packed at lunchtime and we had to park in the overflow parking lot! In hindsight, I should have grabbed a copy of their menu to see what they offered. Oh well, let's do that for another time.

Here are their regular range ball prices. I also forgot to take a photo of their 18 hole putting course, which is pretty unique, I think. Sort like mini golf but without the "windmills" and "clowns".
I was encouraged to used their smartphone scanned discounts and got this ...
A regular large bucket (150 balls) plus a small bucket (75) balls for $11 (about 5 cents per ball).
Here's their early bird special.

Here's my friend, W trying out his new driver (from his new set of clubs), after some minor adjustments and tips from me, he was hitting pretty good!
We got in some putting on the free putting greens too before heading off to lunch.
