I agree with most of the posts. I have played with many pro golfers, mostly Nationwide and Tight Lies tour, and a few that have played some on the PGA tour. THESE GUYS ARE GOOOOOD! I, like MiniMoe, consider myself a good golfer and can go under par on any course if I hit it good, but I can also put up a big number on any given day. Thats the difference. Most of the tour players dont post a 75 up, ever....not counting bad weather etc. They are so consistant. They hit it so straight and can get up and down from anywhere. If I played great for the first 2 rounds I could make the cut at most PGA tournaments. If I play mediocre for 1 of the first 2 rounds I would never make a singel cut. Thats not nearly good enough!!! You have to be able to hit it bad and still post even par or better.

My 2 cents!

I play with the Pro at my course. He has played some Tour events like the St.Jude's in Memphis, etc...He is no where near top level. Playing with him is really eye opening. He doesn't do anything spectacular or hit these huge bombs or anything. He just hits it down the middle every time, hits it inside 10 feet and makes the putt. If he misses the green, he gets up and down like its no big deal. And the thing that amazes me is his tempo. It looks like he is barely swinging. Its nice to play with someone like that. I have no aspirations of being on tour....but if I can get down to a scratch to 5 handicap....I will consider my goals fulfilled!!

      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

      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.
