I thought ZJ was going to make a charge.  He missed a couple that would have put him at -13... :(  Congrats to both Matts.

I say congrats to Matthew Astel; if only Kuch had bogeyed 18 and used his cushion then I could have had the MP-59s.

Oh well, maybe next time!

Haha thanks Wally.  The 17th hole scared me with that bogey, but luckily he came through in the end

Thanks John.  I was actually at the Barclay's last year, and was rooting for DJ.  I have loved Kuchar's game ever since he just dominated that tournament.

That's kind of how a contest works. :D

We should have two new ones coming up here shortly.

I will never get as close as I did in the Masters contest.  If Bubba could have made one more damn Birdie! Haha.

These contests are awesome though!

Yeah!  I ended up getting the standard shafts.  Love them!  Only taken to the range so far.  I will be out on the golf course on Tuesday to try them out on a course though!

    • 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.
