Just thought I'd give a quick intro...

Been golfing for about 10 years now (27 yrs old now), down to about a 9 handicap but its not "official". Mostly play the local courses around me..wherever I can get the best deal. Might do a golf trip or 2 each year, nothing special though...still cheap courses, just in a different state!

I've been told that I swing the club from the wrong side of the ball...but that's normally by the old fat guy I'm paired up with, and I usually beat them by 30 strokes so I let them kid around.

Golf bag is pretty average...Cobra FP2 irons (cheap, but I like them)...R7 fw woods...Need a new driver...Oddessy #9 putter...cg12 wedges. Its been a few years since I spent any real money on the contents of my golf bag...but I'm currently in the market for a new driver, which is how I found this site.

Anyhow, that's about it about me. I hope to pick all of your brains for suggestions on a good quality, affordable driver...I'm leaning towards another Cleaveland Launcher at the moment.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
