Because that's important. If a beautiful swing was the key, that Favret dude would have won the US Open.

LOL his name is Grégory Havret :)

Great win, and a good guy.Straight after his win, he hopped on a private flight to Ireland for the JP Pro Am, and spent the entire flight drinking champagne with J.B.Holmes He got an hour and a half sleep and then headed to the range.I watched him hit balls for a while and thought at the time that he seemed a little out of it and weird, now I know why.Unsurprisingly shot +8, but I thought it was great that he honoured his commitment.He could have easily said he couldn't make it after his win.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

Poor ryan moore lol i like the guy but his swing looks about the same as the clothes he wears, offbeat. For some reason he has become super inconsistent, guess he shot his load in college golf because he dominated there. Really i just hate how he looks like a dog squatting to take a crap then shoves the club down between his knees. The actual swing is ok but that setup, wow.

Yeah at first it is very weird. However, I found that the more I watch his swing the more comfortable I get with it and the more it makes sense. I watched the Golf in America piece on him the other day, and one thing I noticed is how much darn power and speed he gets out of that swing on the way down. His takeaway is weird (almost like furyk) and very slow, and then his actual forward swing is just an explosion. One thing is for sure, i wish I could hit the ball like that guy. Also, I dont feel like he used it all in up college. He won the Wyndham, and has had a bunch of top 10s and good showings since then. No big wins, but he seems to quietly perform in the big events, definitely flies below the radar

    • 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?
