Howdy everyone

My name is Andrew. After 26 years of failure, my father finally got me on the golf course and I feel like I've been missing out! It's a lot of fun and I enjoy learning and playing. I'm hoping to pick up a lot of tips and use the forum to expand my knowledge and have some fun!

Haha... Yea, I was raised a huge Hawkeye fan by my parents, but they ultimately wouldn't let me go so I could keep my head in the books and not in the toilet :P Ames isn't too bad though. It's small, but you can have some fun there. I'm a Cyclone fan now, too (except when they're playing Iowa); so it gives me more games to watch and another team to root for

Yeah same situation here. College of Engineering is great. I've always been for them when they aren't playing Iowa. But, still a diehard Hawkeye fan.

Got out on GV once a few weeks back, wasn't too bad. I heard wave was in sorry shape so far, but havent been myself. Ask Seven Iron, she should know.

I've hit Deer Run about once a week and Rolling Hills a few times.

    • 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?
