We're finally going to have all the boys together this thanksgiving morning and we want to play some sort of tournament. There's 6 definites maybe 8. I was thinking of scramble with 3 or 4 teams or some sort of peoria rule tournament? We have a 2.3 hdcp on one end and 2 guys who will shoot 110 or higher. Anyone have any cool ideas for a way to make it more interesting?
I just realized if the surf is up this may not work. Half of us would probably rather surf...

I would probably let everyone play their own ball for skins. Then pick two teams of 3 or 4, and let the lowest score of the team count as the team score. If you want to make it more interesting, count all 3 combined. Plus 18 or 19 can still win a match when your counting everyone's score.

Yeah yeah I know. I just read a post titled last game of the year and I felt bad. I didn't comment because I didn't want to rub salt in the wounds. I wont put pants on unless we tee off before 7. Even then I'm in shorts by 8am. Year round. Really I could wear shorts even at 7am but putting pants on is somewhat of a novelty and is fun once or twice a year. HAHAHA.

I wish I was debating between surfing in Hawaii and golfing on Thanksgiving morning.


Unfortunately I'll be bundled up getting ready for the last freezing round of this season.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Try to divide into 2 equal (participants and skill level) groups. You can play the first 6 holes as your own ball, add the best two scores, and write down the total (each hole) as the team score. Play the next six holes as a shamble, add the best two scores and write down the total as the team score. Play the last six holes as a scramble and double the score as the team score. Add up the team score and the lowest wins.

You can also do skins within all this on the first 12 holes. If money is involved, you could make 4 separate betting windows by using each 6 hole total and the overall total, or just use the overall total.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse 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.  
    • 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.
