The best way to get used to it is to put yourself in those situations.

Yea I do the same. First tee is always the one I'm never able to get off. Even if the course starter is the only guy watching I usually hit a little topped dribbler into the rough in front of the tee box. ugh, it's brutal. I just can't play with strangers watching me.

First, congrats on shooting a round under scratch. Congrats on following it up by playing under your handicap. Now see if you can get the type of handicap you have to explain to most people: the one that begins with a +. This will get you plenty of wins in club tournaments. And hey -- the Canadian Open is only a few (a little more than 10) months away.

I've never been part of a club? Is this only at country clubs or are they also held at public courses?

Congrats, what a great accomplishment.

By the way, what do you usually "win" by winning a club championship? A trophy or plaque of course, but anything else that is usually standard with winning one of these? I would be totally fine with just a trophy and the title of Club Champion, but I was just curious.

There are plenty of golf clubs that aren't even affiliated with a course. A large chain of golf shops around these parts operates one, for instance. Then there are usually golf clubs associated with a public course -- for example, I'm part of the Rancho Park Golf Club, which plays many "home" tournaments at Rancho Park Golf Course, one of the busiest municipal courses in the country.

When I was in university, I'd play squash with this guy on a regular basis. While we played, people would pass by, sometimes stopping to watch. I really hated that, and it affected my game. One day my opponent said, "When people stop to watch, I love it. My goal is to play so well that they keep watching."

He was right. Ever since then, I try to emulate that sentiment. Some days it's easier said than done. Nonetheless, on the range or on the course, if people are watching, I always welcome it and try to raise my game. Congrats to the OP.

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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?
