hey man, i'm 16, what about it!? not every teenager is the same, some actually have respect for this great game...and can play...

You are right, most serious junior golfers do things right. Much better than the older "businessmen" that play the game. Most juniors that play in good programs have forgotten more about the rules of golf that older ...cough...cough "businessmen" know about the rules of golf.

I do have to agree that the few bad apples of junior golf try to imitate Tiger's outbursts...but most of them are middle of the field wanna bees though. Older players of the game might be pleased to know that the better players act like Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw rather than the younger breed Tiger followers. Having said that my 12 year old son is pretty good having won several tornaments at the local Tampa area, and his favorite golfer is Tiger (He laughs at his outbursts)...but his on course demeanor is more like Ben Crenshaw... So I guess I am trying to say it's a fine line...

OMG What a nightmare, watching teenagers play golf! Aren't HS teams enough, they already swarm the courses like a plague. WOW; sorry for such a strong reaction but do you know any teenagers? As a HS teacher I have known thousands and cannot think of ten I would allow on a course. WOOF, I need a chill pill.

You deserve every ounce of shit you take for this comment and more. Seriously dude, you suck. I'm no longer a teenager but it wasn't that long ago. I can tell you that when me and my teenage friends played golf we were easily in the best 5% of golfers on the course at any given time. Furthermore we probably knew a hell of a lot more about the game and kept better pace.

I can't believe you teach kids. You should be ashamed. Frankly your excuses about the delinquents you teach seem utterly irrelevant.

As a public course player there is a conflict between wanting golf to get new blood and wanting the place to maintain an old "men's club" feel.

Well unfortunately thats your problem. If you want a "men's club" feel you need to join a private country club. Simple as that. If you cant afford it tough. I know your type. Your the old man that plays the same local muni all the time and tries to pretend like your a private member there. Your the old man who yells at the kids for practicing with more than 3 balls on the putting green, and go's around the entire course policing it like its your own. Quit kidding yourself and join a private club, otherwise come back to reality and realize that when you play a public course you are not going to have all the amenities a private club offers.

On a side note: Why in the heck should high school kids have to go to private clubs to practice and take up the members time? They pay excessive amounts of monthly dues + initiation fees to be members there, they deserve to have the course open only to them. You really think that because you pay your 10 bucks to play your local muni that they owe you something. Give me a break.

      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.

      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.
