About 15 years ago, I picked up a book called "The Golf Course" (Geoffry Cornish & Ron Whitten). It launched an interest in golf course architecture.

I have not had the good fortune to play any of the courses from the great designers of the so called Golden Age. Living in Arizona, most everything is new. I do like to make note of who designed a course and try to look at the different styles and characteristics.

A few of note in no particular order:
RT Jones
RT Jones II
Rees Jones
Dye
T. Fazio
WP Bell
WF Bell
Red Lawrence
Morrish & Weiskopf
Coore & Crenshaw
Doak
Kavanaugh
Gary Panks
Art Hills
Scott Miller
Keith Foster
Schmidt & Curley
Jack Snyder
Fought & Lehman
Greg Nash

I'm into playing 'interesting' layouts more than anything. Don't mind the courses that wind through housing developments, either. Down in FL, the wife and I play a beautiful track designed by Paul Azinger!

In NE Ohio, we have several Nicklaus designed (2 are Signature course) privates. I've been able to play 3 of the 4. Also played several in FL as well. Really enjoy his courses even though I'm a L to R player. Many of his courses setup better for the fade. And I usually pay in strokes for this reason.

Literally my favorites are anything designed by Pete Dye. What a diabolical mind!

I also take time to look around while playing at a nice track. So much of what was designed into and around the course is discovered through an open mind and open eyes. Lots of 'cool stuff' to be seen other than fairways, greens and hazards.

The ultimate "old man" setup:

Ping G30 driver
Ping G Fairway woods - 5 and 7 woods
Callaway X-Hot #5 hybrid; Old school secret weapon
Ping G #6-9 irons; W and U wedges
Vokey 54 and 58* Wedges
Odyssey Versa Putter
Golf Balls

Of course. Mike Strantz. Played TR and Tot Hill Farm and they were wild rides.

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
