Have Fun!

Set out a preshot routine you want to focus on and execute that everyshot.

Sticking to a preshot routine is one of the few things you have control over in the game so make the best of it!

I always expect the worst, that way I'm usually always positively surprised.

Just do what you have always done, it's the same game. Though I would advise taking some time on the range and practice green. If I don't play for a couple of weeks my timing is a bit rusty for the first 10-40 shots. If I can get those out of the system by the time I tee up the first ball I'm much better off.

Also, don't try to be a hero. You've got a hcp of 30, play like you try to use 2 shots extra on every hole, maybe except the par 3's, you can't afford a double on all 18. On a par 5, go for the green in 4-5. A long par 3? Definately go for the green in 2. Don't use the clubs you have problems hitting, play it safe.

I wouldn't expect anything. I'd go out there and play golf for what it is. A game.

I couldnt imagine going a few months without playing - I go play friday afternoons to make sure I am warmed up for the whole weekend. If I go 6 days without playing I am seriously struggling on the 1st 3 holes.

Meenman... Funny coincedence, This past Wenesday after walking off the fourth green and finally marking a good score I turned to my partner and said: "that's it... from now on before I play a real course again, I'm going to play the first three holes at my exec course..."

I ordered a Chicken and an Egg on the Internet, to find out which came first... I'll keep you posted!

      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?
