Guys,

It's a great course, espicially for West Texas!  I wish when I was an undergrad we had something like this!   It was taken over by Troon Golf a few years back and they have done a great job in maintaining it.  If the wind is up, which most of time it is in Lubbock it can be a very hard course.

I believe a permanent clubhouse is being constructed (finally)!  Try to play it if you can, it can get busy on football weekends however.  Call early for tee times!

Actually it is the Rawls course.  My friend is the pro there and from the Austin area.  He says that the course has the best greens that he had ever seen and that the course is always in great shape.  This is amazing considering that it is in arid west Texas.  I haven't been able to play yet but plan to do so soon...  Lubbock is just a long way from Houston.  They are working on a permanent "state of the art" facility that will enhance the golf program at Texas Tech.  Rates are very reasonable any where from $34 -$79. It has recently received the following recognition:

    • Wordle 1,816 2/6* ⬛⬛🟧⬛⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧   forgot to play yesterday
    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.
