Bring rain gear too folks, the forecast isn't looking any better and now they are forecasting some good wind as well. We had golf ball size hail here this morning from a thunderstom that rolled through quickly. Going to be that kind of weekend in the North East it looks like.

Sunday: Showers likely, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 72. Breezy, with a south wind 8 to 11 mph increasing to between 18 and 21 mph . Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

I would like to extend thanks to Dave, Eric, James and Jim for the excellent day of instruction we had. We lucked out with the weather. I learned a lot. Thanks for coming to Boston.

I'll have to echo Scott's sentiments. It was indeed a great day with plenty of one on one instruction thanks to the small class size and the four instructors we had on hand. As some of you know, I had some apprehensions in taking the class because of prior bad lessons and all the nay-sayers against Stack and Tilt who told me I'd be wasting my time and money. I am glad to say I proved myself and the nay-sayers wrong. Although I do not yet have the full swing down and can't hit my 7-iron 150 yards quite yet, I feel I now have a solid base swing to build upon.

Tomorrow I will try to post some of the before and after photos, maybe I will start a blog here with them. I am just much too tired to mess with the scanner tonight.

Come back to Boston again guys. I'll be sure to look up Jim in the meantime for any follow-up instruction.

Great day. I am so damn sore. Thank goodness for soothing, medicinal IPA, eh?

Anyway, remembering the "Do You Get Worse Before You Get Better" instruction debate, I'm happy to testify I have never, ever hit higher, longer or better shaped iron shots than I did today once James and Dave and Erik finally managed to get me going forward and standing up through impact, however imperfectly.

Phrase of the day on the other side of the ball: "More, please!"

JT (Shankapotomus) did good work, as did everyone else. Andrew (Stretch) was really putting the ball up in the air at the end with good distance and tight little draws. Scott (boogie) had some great pictures too... Everyone did really, really nice work, and we lucked out like crazy with the weather. Cheers, all! I'm glad it sounds like y'all had as good a time as we did teaching.

      "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.

      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?
