Finally broke 40 today on 9 holes ( wish i had more time to play all 18)

Here's the stats.

FIR - 7/7

GIR - 4/9

Putts - 14

Scram - 3/5

Score - 38

Par 36 course 3100 yards

I was even going into the last hole and double bogeyed it for a 38.  Oh well... Still happy about breaking 40 :)

This statistic is really true! ( to break 80 you have to hit 10/18 GIR, and putt no more than 32 times.)

Started keeping track of my FIR/GIR/putts/Scrambles - Tells you what part of your game you need to work on!

I got one of those notebooks for keeping track of those stats today, and I'm looking forward to some real stats on my own game to try and round out the card a bit in that dept.

Good job man! Although 9 holes seems like such a tease in a way (I shot a 44 on one 9 but still shot over 100 for 18, go figure ).

iPutt - That can definitely happen if eat eat the wrong thing, or get fatigued...  Do you usually do better of worse after the front nine? i find that i usually shoot the back nine 1-4 strokes better than the front.  Probably because I'm warmed up and loose.

Splifton - My putting was on fire! Before the round i really focused on my wedge game, and sinking 10 footers on the practice green.

That actually was on the back nine, just got on a roll I guess. Great job again though, great to prove to yourself what you can do if everything comes together.

Great job, breaking 80 was a huge mental block for me, I used to hit 12-14 GIR and still shoot over 80.  It was all mental, after I broke 80 one time, I didn't shoot over 80 for the next 3 months!!!!  Hope that inspires you.  Get your GIR up and you will really be rocking it!

I beat you there, I have broken 80, 4 times over 8 years. The first time it was a freak game, I didn't have a handicap, but breaking 100 was a good day for me at the time - so breaking 80 was just weird.The last three were over the last three years, once per year each year. I have lots of 80's and 81's in the system but breaking 8-0 on a regular basis still alludes me.

Well done, Jasonbolt! As someone who first broke 40 on 9 this past year myself (also with a 38) I can attest to the confidence it brings. I just hope I didn't rust-over too much during the long winter...

      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?
