2013 LA Golf Show in Anaheim

this year's show is in Anaheim again
Got a dollar discount from my friend CJ
this year show seemed alittle smaller
Most of the major vendors were there
We got to try out some of the new clubs
The big Roger Dunn spot was taken over by national chain Golfsmiths this year. However the selection wasn't as good as last year and there were no apparent bargains or discounts from going to a regular Golfsmiths brick and mortar store. The most of the usual vendors along with the golf resorts and car dealerships were there.
 Aside from getting a free one year subscription to Golf Digest, and some free range balls at one of the local range, and a free tee time way out in San Clemente, this outing wasn't that great. But it was nice to go with some other golf fans who have never been, to atleast for them to see that this was like. It's probably better to go to your local Golfsmiths, etc ... to try out new clubs.

The Links at Victoria GC in Carson

It's my first time at this course and first 18 hole round for 2013
My good friend Peter invited me out to his local course.
Got to warm up on some balls before our 11am tee time.

This course is right next to where the Goodyear Blimp is kept in Carson.

It was a pretty fun day, I was hitting pretty good with my driver and mid irons but as usual my putting and short game was terrible. I lost a couple of my balls in the "links" area ... jumped in not realizing that there are very sharp and painful needle plants in there (and might have been rattlesnakes as well)!

By the end of the day, the winds picked up and it got rather chilly. My friend had to jam after the 17th hole so I played the 18th solo. I got an unwelcome smell of the sewer line or something on the finishing hole ... yuck!
Other than the windy smelly ending, I rather like the course as it's mostly wide open and no water hazards. I'll be back again to play another 18!

Getting back into the swing - Stanton Golf Ctr

Hit my first bucket of balls this year! It was a nice surprise to get the early bird $5 large bucket special (before 11am).
It was pretty busy on Saturday so I had to hit in one of the unshaded bays.

After about 45 minutes of going thru all my clubs, I putted for another 10 minutes.
