One of my goals for the year was to break 70 and I achieved it yesterday with a 69 on my home course. Its a par 70 and I had a 35 on the front and 34 on the back.

Highlights
1 eagle
6 birdies
-5 on the Par 5s
+1 on the Par 3s

Low lights
+3 on Par 4s including 2 bogeys, 2 double bogeys and 3 birdies
Missed a 8 foot birdie putt on 14
Missed a 5 foot birdie putt on 17 (nerves)
Drove into the trees on 18 and then proceeded to 3 putt for bogey (nerves)

I scrambled my butt off for the entire round, so it certainly didn't feel like a stellar performance. I was a little surprised that my score affected my game the way it did on the closing holes. This year I've tried hard to immerse myself in my routine but wow, I was pretty shaky on the last 2 holes.

Nonetheless, pretty stoked today! I was a 19 handicap 2 years ago, so lots of hard work has paid off!

If you are a 7.0 handicap like what you have listed, that sure is a damn good accomplishment. Not only that but you had two double-bogies yet still kept your cool instead of blowing up after them. Way to go!!!!

    • 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.
