The young guns are on the up big time this year, Camilo almost winning the matchplay and then winning the Honda, AK winning at Houston and then remaining consistent and contending almost each and every week he plays (with a detatched ligament in his thumb), Dustin Johnson winning at Pebble again, Mahan with a come from behind win in Phoenix, Ishikawa wins a tournament on the Japanese tour after shooting a final round 58 (WOW!), Fowler in contention for a few tournaments this year already and looking promising, and now this from McIlroy today which was just incredible, i mean shooting 62 normally is unbelievable but to do it on the final day when in contention to win the golf tournament is just phenominal. The future of this game is looking very, very bright and this year is just going to be dominated by these youngsters in my opinion and i for one cannot wait!

Great day for avid golf fans. While these young guns probably won't bring in the mainstream or drive up prize purses like Tiger did/ still can, they certainly have provided a lot of excitement recently and a "young vs. old" dynamic the Tour hasn't seen for a decade. I'm sure the PGA is also thrilled with this because for years (among the average fan at least) it has basically been Tiger, Phil and "the field". Maybe some of these young guns can start leaving a bigger mark, keep growing youth golf and get in that elite group on top of the game that seems to find the front page of the leaderboard almost every time they tee it up. Looking at the rest of this year's majors though, I think the veterans will be back on top at St. Andrews and the PGA, but maybe a young gun will contend at Pebble.

Always good to see top young talent rise to the top, especially in droves like we've seen this year. The guys mentioned above have some major game, too.

Now if Sergio, Charles Howell, Adam Scott, Badds et al would just step it up....

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      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?
