I'm not really on board with "I can't beat LT" Jerry taking a spot in the field, but I was actually pretty impressed that he put together a decent back 9 (at least until the 9th, which was his last hole). Any thoughts? I respect his competitiveness and as my buddies have told me all day, if someone presented me this opportunity I'd probably take it as well, but if he really thought he had a chance to make the cut he had to be crazy. A 3ish handicapper has no business being in a Hooters tour field let alone the Nationwide. Although, I followed this first day more than any other Nationwide tournament combined, at least since Jason Gore was tearing it up.

Hopefully he takes something from this and waits until his game is legit before he comes back out for what will probably be the CHampions Tour at that point (if ever). Any thoughts? Anyone watch?

Another thing... I mentioned I don't normally follow the Nationwide... I couldn't believe how many names and former very decent golfers are playing this weekend and I assume on the Nationwide tour. Lickliter, Len Mattiace, Esteban Toledo, Steve Pate, Jason Gore, Stankowski, Jonathan Kaye, Bob May, Brendt Jobe, Skip Kendall...

yeah, i'm watching it right now. he's actually not too bad of a ball striker, but his putting sucks. i'm sure it's got a lot to do with this being his first golf tournament playing head up with pro's, so i hesitate to say that i'd do any better on the greens.

I think it is a good thing he is playing out there for 1 reason, exposure! Just like the original post said he usually doesnt follow the nationwide tour. If Jerry Rice can get the nationwide tour exposure it could mean good things for the other players, like bigger prize money and maybe more sponserships!

I wasn't impressed with Rice, his swing is a joke, especially with the driver, he needs to stick with retirement and keep on the AM side of tournaments end of story, lol

After watching him on Trump's World of Golf, I knew he wouldn't do much against the pros, but that's OK. Does make it more interesting to watch, for sure.

An interesting sidelight: I checked his average driving distance for day one on PGAtour.com. It was 255 yards. I also checked some of the other pros, mainly concentrating on the shorter hitters I knew of, like Len Mattiace, Esteban Toledo. They were hitting it over 270. Maybe Jerry should get some advice from the 280 yard knockers here in the SandTrap>

      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?
