Attention all people that walk around the putting/chipping practice area bouncing a golf ball on the head of your wedge. Please stop immediately, you look ridiculous.

Someone had to say it.

I'm sure we do, but we have good hand eye co-ordination!

I look pretty ridiculous when I stretch too, maybe I should stop doing that aswell?

O.k. I will stop because you said I look ridiculous .
Wait, maybe I don't fall into that category because the only time I do it is on the tee box waiting for the green/fairway to clear. Is that o.k.?

Just knowing that it annoys people is good enough reason to continue it. Of course I look ridiculous anyway.

Let me guess.

You can't do it. Right?

Yes, but it displaces attention from the things about me that are even more ridiculous.

You play the hand you're dealt.

Umm, yeah, I'm not going to listen to you. As a matter of fact I'll do it more now, thanks man.

My record is only 30 times without dropping it. Which isn't that good.

I can bounce it quite a bit...but haven't counted. I can also stop it on the face of a wedge and start it back up again.

I only do it on the practice green when I'm bored, on the tee waiting for a slow group, etc. I will also bounce the ball up to my hand when practicing chipping.

That's how I like my golf. A kick in the face. -Ben

Keep on doing it . . . I can't do it very well (does bouncing it 2 or 3 times then running a little ways to try to make the last one hit the club count?). I think it's pretty cool to see.

I can bounce it for a LONG time off a LW, TW, AW, SW, PW and even my 9 iron.

I too can make it stop , and sit on the face...

Then start it up again, and bounce it high in the air and catch the ball in my pocket!

The girls love it!

And it upsets the guys who can't do it!

Who can't do this? When your hand-eye coordination is sharp enough to hit the full swing sand wedge (after a series of juggling tricks) and hit it perfectly, without denting your shaft or having the ball hit you in the face, then you can show it off at the course. Otherwise, I agree, keep it at home. Everyone can do it.

(note - the occasional tee box juggle is OK - because it sort of lets the group in front of you know that you're getting impatient with their slow play)

I have a three step routine for this:
1) Bounce it once
2) Bend over
3) Pick it up

Obviously the OP can't do it, and doesn't realize it consumes time when waiting for something.

I can do it on any club up to my 4 iron, as well as driver.

Wow you can bounce a ball on a golf club. Gee what a stud you are to be able to do what any human with at least one arm and one eye can do after about 3 minutes of practice. Wow I am really impressed. Even more impressed that you chose to assume that I cannot. Seriously. You just keep bouncing your ball and the rest of us will just keep laughing at you and your sad little attempt to look cool. Rock on dude.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • 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?
