Played this course Saturday with my brother.  Was teamed up with another 2some, we had a tee time at 1:20 but they got us out at 12:20 what time did we finish the FRONT NINE?  @ 3:30!  It took 3 hours and 10 min to play 9 holes.  We paid for 18 but left after 9.  This course has their tee times set up every 9 min. and it was SO OVER CROWDED.  Guys I were playing with said on the weekend during the summer a 7-8 hour round is not uncommon!!!

The staff and customer service was great, but they need to space there tee times farther apart.  Word to the wise, you play this course get ready to wait cause it will take you forever.

I actually had a chance to play this course 2 years ago while i was in town for the AT&T; National at Congressional...experienced the same thing you did and my bestfriend and i did indeed finish in a shade less than 6 hours and 15 minutes. we did not stop at the turn, but drank over $45 in beers from the cart girl b/c we had nothing else to do. hopefully they figure it out, i kinda thought they would have by now but by the sounds of your experience...nope. sorry to hear that man, slow golf is shi**y golf.

I am so spoiled now I think 4.5 hours is much too long for a round. Most of my rounds are done in 3.5 or less. It would have to be Pebble Beach for me to sit through a 6 hour round.

    • 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.
