so ticket holders for yesterday's round are basically being told "tough" and that their tickets are now worthless. we all know the fine-print on the back says their tickets arent refundable, blah blah...but is this fair? these fans paid for a certain product and that product wasnt delivered. what do you think?

IMHO there is the letter of the law and then there is the right thing to do. the USGA is taking the former.

Its not fair at all. At least they could have offered those ticket holders something in return (like a free round of golf at black in the future) or something to make them feel like they werent cheated. They paid for a product, and didnt get it. At the very least, its poor customer service on the part of the USGA. I hope the thursday people make a fuss and throw (mud) in the faces of the USGA.

The ticket holders should have known it was going to rain. So they knew the risk they were taking.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I think it was a good move, but I'd be pretty pissed if I was someone with only weekend passes, expecting to see everything to the finish. Now those people will kinda get screwed. It's definitely a bad situation for everyone involved, especially because it's something like an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, and play probably will go through Monday. I'd hate to be the ones making those decisions, it's basically a no-win situation.

nobody can question the USGAs justification, they are within their rights.

but put yourself in the place of one of these ticket holders. you know in your brain that rationally you dont have an argument, but in your heart you would feel like it wasnt fair. you bought tickets to see the entire first round and all the players in it, and thats not what you got.

      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?
