I don't think that the Tiger-AK-Rocco group is going to get a lot of TV time. They tee off at 12 ET, but coverage doesn't start until 3 ET. Maybe they'll be on pgatour.com?

It's pretty irritating that coverage doesn't start till 3 :-\ Is there any websites that are streaming certain groups or any coverage at all? I already checked channelsurfers.net and realsportz.net.

Imma incur some flamage, but AK's presence in a field does not pique my interest one iota. Ak is the new Sergio - zzzzzzzzzz.

Fowler seems hot right out of the gate. Out in 31 and tied for the lead @ -5.

errrrrrrrr make that in the lead @ -6. He's a birdie machine right now.

That was a super fat shot out of the bunker. Looked like he was trying to bend that shaft hitting the ground like that. At least he's being himself.

Leader in at -8. Tiger is 5 back, not bad. Knocking off the rust might take a round or two. GO TIGER!!

Bah, my two peeps are off to a rough start. Duffy and Jeff Hart both finished at 4over today. Duffy is a member at my club so I always root for him. Jeff Hart dominates the Golden State Tour and is an all-around great guy. I think he just turned 50, played and did well in, last year's US Senior Open. I've played with him four or five times, and I kid you not, I've seen him hit one bad shot. One! He doesn't hit the ball very far but played the South Course today, which is supposedly the shorter of the two? Dunno why he turned in such a poor performance today?

From the highlights, he drove the par 5's terribly. Tiger doesn't par the 5's when he wins. But he parred them today.

Tiger stil shooting 3 under and not playing the 5's well is pretty promising.  He won't do that tom.  I expect him  to be 2-3 behind the leaders tom.

He is playing the tougher South Course tomorrow, although they did toughen the North Course by making the fairways very narrow. I saw several dips in his swing when I expected those to be out of there. He took 30 putts besides the 36% driving accuracy.

I just don't expect a cure in a day, or even 3 days, for a victory. Guess I expected less rust. He should have played last week if he wanted to win this week. But there is no winner until Sunday. So we'll see.

Some good numbers put up on the South Course too. I think he'll be okay, but I also told someone he probably needed -5 today to seriously contend.

The dips are irrelevant. I don't care about them, and I think it's telling that's all Nick Faldo could talk about.

    • 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?
