Wow!! All I can say, Im soooo damn excited!

I went out to my local executive course after work, its a par 62, playing about 3500 yards. nothing too crazy, about 5 or 6 par 4's but accuracy is pretty important here.

Anyways, I played 18 and shot a 76... Hit 0 greens in reg on the front. My usual is somewhere in the 80's. But I parred the last 2 holes and something just felt right. Since it was twilight, I figured I'll replay most of the course to see if Im onto something.

Well, I played 12 holes and finished +2!! 2 over par! I did take one mulligan though.... I have never in my life dreamed I would do that! Something just clicked with my irons! And short game, and putter!!

I started going straight back with my irons, and keeping the face aligned at the top.... I dunno, I cant explain it, but something definitely clicked today! I just hope it stays with me now!

All that putting practice and short game practice is paying off!

Just thought I would tell someone considering I'm stuck to playing alone......

Thanks a lot for all your insight everyone! I now know what it feels like to play some amazing golf! I hit like 10 out of 12 greens in reg on my second round, even putted in a 12 footer for bird, and missed 3 other birds by inches.

What an amazing feeling!

Feels good to get through a great round eh? I set a personal best today as well. A local course, 68.5/117 from the blues, 5,418 yards. I went 41/40 for an 81. Only hit 2 fairways and 6 GIR's, but finished the round with 30 putts.

Congrats on your round, it's a good feeling when the golf gods smile upon you.

what course? I live in Tampa too

Countryway golf club, off of waters ave. Small course, but I love it for short game work.

Is there any kind of league or club down here where you can play golf with other people in the area? I work kind of in a secluded environment, and dont really know anyone that I can play golf with except my old man, but he's out of town a lot. Have you played Countryway before? Great after work course. Jim

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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?
