Hello everyone, I just registered but have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I really enjoy the conversation on here and everyone seems really nice.

For most of my life, I have been a weekend warrior...never even bothered to figure out my handicap. In general I have been happy shooting around 100, but I am really trying to work on my game now.

I am at an oddly fortunate part of my life; I am unemployed (looking for a position that will allow me to attend school to finish my degree) but have funds available to somewhat enjoy myself. As such, I have taken my first couple of lessons and actually spent time trying to improve my game. Bought my own first set of irons (Callaway x-18r, used) and a driver (Taylormade 09 Burner) and I really enjoy them. Got both for ~260 used so I'm pretty happy about that. Having my own equipment has helped me motivationally, as odd as that sounds.

Just wanted to say hello :) sorry if I'm a bit long-winded.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
