There was one time we all stood on the 1st tee, again at a public course, the first two guys hit the ball with a great slice and ended up on the opposite fairways. I hit my ball and it hit a tree and ended up with them on the 18th Fairway, THEN my 4th partnet SOMEHOW hit his ball, it went VERTICAL....straight up in the air. It landed ....you guessed it , on the 18th green. Made a crater in the green . Just think for a moment of going over to the green and asking for the ball back....Man that was a funny start to the round

The year: 1999

The Place: Hidden Creek Golf Course, Burleson, Tx

The Story:

It's late in the evening on a brisk winter afternoon and my buddy and I are on the 15th (if my memory serves me correctly) with water on the down the left side. I'm going through my setup when out of nowhere my partner yells "LOOK OUT!" Seemingly out of nowhere here comes this golf cart(back when they were still gas powered ) ...two freshman laughing hysterically onboard, clubs still hitched on the back.  Like a scene from Fast and Furious, they are hauling ***, so much so in fact, that they lose control, hit a slight mound, which sends them and the cart flying to the left, and directly into the lake...clubs attached...idiots still onboard. They managed to make it out when the cart hit the water (quite luckily I would imagine), but the cart, and their clubs sank...along with all their personal effects they had placed inside the cart.  We'll call them Dumb and Dumber for fun. So what do Dumb and Dumber decide to do? The logical thing...RIGHT? Nope...they left the cart, their clubs and belongings and walked back to the clubhouse soaking wet with the intention of telling no one. Naturally, they were caught red-handed when they showed up back at the clubhouse without a cart or clubs, soaking wet and freezing. And, although they made a valiant attempt at a half truth, it all eventually came out and they were kicked off the team and suspended by the school.

Yet another reason the right to breed should be a privilege, not a right.

    • 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.
