I was there at 0645 this AM. After watching some at the range, I followed the Daly trio for the whole 18 holes. Rocco stopped to chat with me before the match. Nice guy, and seemed genuine. Got an autograph too :) Daly was in the trees 4 times, lost one ball and took a drop. Mark Brooks (local Texas boy) was playing a heck of a short game and was -2 at one point. He slipped up some on the back none to finish even.
Beautiful course, only to get better in the coming year. Outlying areas still need some work, but the fairways and greens looked awesome. Going back Sunday....weather permitting.

Cool deal, Rocco is a super nice guy, I always enjoy seeing him, and I feel bad for Daly, 2 time major winner playing like that is just hard to watch, because I know and I'm sure he knows that he can play much better, I think it's more from the weight loss and him not changing his swing to match that loss

As far as the course goes, it looks great on TV, and I love the 16th with the sand trap smack dab in the middle of the green, that's awesome and Zach +9 WTF ?????, ah well maybe he'll pull it off tomorrow and make the cut since the field isn't doing much better

Daly shot even par in a practice round, so maybe he was just having a bad day. But he'll have to shoot -12 today to make the cut. Doubtful.

It's raining hard at my house now, @ 6:00AM. I think I'll stay home today and watch whatever action there is on the TV/computer.

James Nitties , I know we haven't heard that name in a while, none the less he's tied for the lead at 7 under and weather permitting we'll see 36 holes tomorrow and crown a VTO champion

Great back 9 (actually on the front) by Daly to make it back to Even par and get a chance to play the weekend (Sunday)......would be fun to watch him chainsmoke through 36 holes tomorrow....GL Johnny D...

Same to David Duval...playing the weekend and within a handful of the lead....

After an opening bogey today, he's made four birdies and no follow-up bogeys. He just birdied 14.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
