Yes I recorded an 89 today on a average difficulty course. Only had one bad drive off the toe for a 150 yds. No birdies, lots of pars and bogeys. This beats my best by 8 strokes Not one drop either. I am keeping the ball and the scorecard as reminders of this personal feat. 79 Here I come !!

btw the HC went from 22.8 to 22.5 with this one score.

off to google maps to see how far the drives went

Thanks fellas !

The best shot of the day was a 90 foot par saving putt. 43 front nine. 79 WAS ON MY MIND the par save was 10th hole.

Big congrats, Natural.

Have you been doing anything to improve your game that you think has led to the lower score?

Yes, so glad you asked. This tip will be on the video "How to break 90 - For Dummies" No really, off the tee has been the demon. I have a HIGH SS and at times I look brilliant with 300+ drives. Lately it has been tops and hooks. Well today I did something a little different. At the tee in warm up swings I would take a full practice swing follow through and then full swing back then another and another. long broad practice swings frontward backward, It Helped! I hit higher launches and carries than ever! I decided to stick with it the entire round, I think it took me away from a sideways baseball swing, (hooks and tops were caused by this swing IMO) 1-5hole drives went 220, 280, 270, 270, 300, par 3 was a DB, then 200yds on apar 5 toed it. then back to 300. 10th hole topped it due a dogleg right with water, recovered at the green with my 90 ft putt. After that the drill worked EVERYTIME. I had to tone it down on 10 the water was a 250 yard drive so it messed the mechanics up a little. Did hook one at 11 for 220 but the others were all bombs. I also took care not to miss big on the green and lagged well for many 2 putts and a couple 1's. NO SNOWMEN either! I was hitting my 60* to the greens from 10 par 4's awesome club for me. If I drive like this today then it will continue to improve. the course is like a 70.5 120 6800 yard.

Congratulations. I struggled mightily with first breaking 90.
In fact. The first time I broke 90 I shot 84. I broke 80 only a month or so later. Way to go. keep it up.

First off congrats.

Second...how do you try and get yardage distances off of Google Maps? I typically estimate given the yardages markers but obviously they're just ballpark figures...

Nice job!
Now the next step is shooting that sub-90 score more often and then progressing to breaking 80.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
