A guy I have known for three years, a solid player and a solid friend, was diagnosed with colon cancer last week - he had surgery to remove the mass last Friday. I called his nephew to check his progress today, and he told me he was still hospitalized because the suturing on his intestines came apart and they had to go in again, which could have killed him if it would have gone unchecked.

If any of you attend mass, synagogue, service, whatever this weekend, please keep G in your prayers. Thank you.

My grandmother died of that, exactly - not the cancer, but after the surgery. My prayers are with your friend.

I was 33 when I had my first colon resection. Does it look like they've got the problem he had fixed? It's mentaly tough when you have a setback like that, but he'll come thru it just fine!!

I'm sure all of you who have been affected know of this site, but I helped to build and design it: C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition . A golfing buddy's wife had colon cancer two years ago and it's affected both of their lives. She's clean now (for now), but it still has had a big affect.

Best wishes to all who are affected, their friends, and their loved ones.

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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?
