On a rainy day this June, I ran into some better HS golfers and a couple of small-college golfers talking drivers at a local golf shop. Three of these guys said they had most trouble with tee shots on the back nine. Suggested they started feeling super loose, and overswinging.

Also, at the Oklahoma town where I used to live the Country Club hosted a sunbaked July invitational tournament. Tourney drew lots of college players, struggling pros, and top amateurs. I was a spectator, and a 56-year-old former champion broke down his scoring results for me after 54 holes.
* Holes #1 through #13: 1 under par.
* Holes #14 through #18: 8 over par.

He said he felt he was "running out of gas" on the closing holes.

At any rate, consider getting a trolly for your bag. The new three-wheel versions are a major improvement over the old two-wheel bag-dumpers. And, congrats on being a 2 HDCP!

Focus, connect and follow through!

I struggle with finishing strong as well. I sometimes think that it is fatigue as far as my back is concerned. I'm physically fit, just my back gets tired sometimes depending on what kind of work or workout I have done prior to playing. I have really tried to stay focused and am getting better at it. But I also think I sometimes know what my score is and I'm fighting to shoot a score I'll be happy with rather than just playing one shot at a time and letting the score be what it is. My best rounds are when I'm focused on the next shot rather than my score. I fought like crazy today to finish decently after I made a couple of double bogeys. I talked myself into a birdie and I made some pars going home to shoot 79.

You say you snack, but what are you eating? If it has no nutruition in it, theres no point in eating at all. You need lots of protein, fiber (yes i know), and calories. Trade that back 9 beer for a vitamin water, and drink LOTS of regular water throughout your game.

      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.
