ok wow you might think but im over the moon. Started playing this game with my girlfriend April 07. Never picked a club up in my life before. In fairness I haven't played as much as I would like because I need a regular golf buddy. The golf bug has got my more than my girlfriend so I dont play as much as I want. We didn't play at all in the Winter last year in the UK cos it was absolutely dreadful, heavy rain for months.

Anyway to cut a long story short we started to play again around March and I've just come back from Florida. I shot 96 at Southern Dunes in Orlando. Think the yardage was just under 6000. My lowest score back home was 108. To be honest I never realised I was on for a sub 100 round because I never count the score until I've finished.

I've been determined to break 100 for a while and could feel my game was ready for it. I feel so much confident now. It feels like my swing is coming together and its happening much more naturally. I can concentrate more on enjoying the game and playing the course rather than all the technical stuff.

Hey i just broke 100 the other day. It was a 98. I've been playing since about May '08. I'm getting better really fast. I started shooting 60's at a really hard course around here. I think im progressing quite well and think i will be able to get low 90's by the end of July!

Congrats though, it feels great!

Same, I just took up golf this year and one of my goals of 2008 is to break an honest 100 (no mulligans or provisionals). Going to be tough to do with only a few months to go.

      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.

      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.
