The Golf Channel had it on.  Amazing how much the game has changed since then.  Tiger is a good 10 to 20 yards longer off the tee and at least a club longer with his irons.  One thing I noticed about his game was how much better his irons were, especially with distance control.

It was also fun to watch Hal Sutton strut that place.  The dude was hitting 3 irons into some of the par 4's and one of the par 3's.

I watched a little of it too - was funny seeing Hal swing an old TaylorMade Bubble Shaft Driver. For 2000, that was the shizz. (I believe the replay was the 2000 Players that Sutton won ("Be the right club toDAY") - 2001 was the 'Better than most' Tiger drain on 17 when he won)

Was also interesting how young Tiger looked back then.

My mistake.  I remember, watching the back nine of that one on Monday morning.  Sutton and Tiger didn't say a word to each other all day.  Is it me or has the Stadium course at Sawgrass gotten considerably longer since this tournament was played?

I watched that last night. Great dual. One thing that stood out for me was Tiger's shirt. Was only about 3 sizes too big. But that's the way they were worn then.

    • 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.
