Hey guys, new to the forum, looking forward to reading everything that you guys have posted.

I'm trying to get serious about my golf game, still shooting up near 100, so I have a lot to learn!!!

I am a petroleum landman, which means I have some free time to swing the sticks, so I need to improve my game!!!

If you have any advice for me at any time, feel free to let me know!

I help big companies to innovate their (online) marketing. Not with optimization for search engines or Adwords, but by inventing new technologies to use in marketing. Also I help them set up their big data warehouse and assist them in setting up a system to find and use the right data. By big companies I mean companies with >$50 million marketing budget as the solutions I'm hired to build usually aren't run off the mill :)

I build computer models of commercial scale buildings to test energy and comfort performance of proposed designs for an international engineering consultancy firm.

Only really get time to play golf at the weekend but I'm consistently shooting better than my handicap in general play so I figure I'm doing something right.

I am a detailer and project manager for a steel fabrication company. We fabricate structural steel for mid-size projects like malls, shopping centers, theaters, and small office buildings.

I spend a little time drawing our shop drawings on AutoCad, but most of my time is spent with dealing with change orders and getting information that the drawings don't specify. A lot of emailing and waiting, so I have periods of down time throughout the day. I'm sure a lot of that will be spent here now that I have found this site.

I'm a prison chaplain...and justify my golf playing as a way to develop inner humility and to bolster my senior pastor's confidence (he's about 30 strokes better than me).  :-)

I am a machinist, I run manual mills, lathes, grinders, as well as 3 axis cnc machining centers and turning centers.  The company I work for manufactures new and rebuilt Gardner double disc grinders, Blanchard surface grinders, and other specialty grinding machines, mostly for big companies that make brake rotors, bearings, tools, and piston rings. Pretty cool job, lots of precision work, wish my short game w as as accurate as my measuring tools.  I also fix computers as side work....

I'm an RF Systems Engineer for Motorola.

I'm currently trying to (weather pending) hit the golf course and range a combined 4 times a week. It's tough with work and other commitments, but we'll see....

Typically if I can make it to the golf course by 7, I can finish 9 before it's dark.

    • 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.
