Spent time on Google Earth searching "golf course" after setting HOME to see what's within an hour drive for me to play. Here are my results...

Many of them I have played at least once. Some of them I've played several times. Looks like I've got a lot more golf to play though!

One of the places I am envious of related to golf. You guys get to play year round in nice weather! Blazing heat and the couple months of cold make it barely bearable for a few months.

So I went through and changed the color on the courses I've been able to play in the past couple of years. I hope to white mark several more by the end of the year!

LOL. Outside of the 190 or so they presently have, it's pretty barren down there.

Heh, it's pretty much the same around here. The farthest I've driven for a course is maybe 40 minutes... going out an hour there is more than I want to count.

Well... the course has been for sale for a couple of years apparently and it's really been let go. It's got a great layout but is desperately in need of a lot of water and care. At $15 a person it was certainly at the right price. The greens were just barely playable, they had been aerated but not watered except rain is looked. Sad to see a course so let go...

I agree. I also live in the Detroit Metro area and there are dozens of high quality public courses within 30 minutes of my house. Extending this to 45 minutes brings in great tracks like The Majestic, Timber Trace (Pinckney), Dunham Hills, Shepherd's Hollow and others.

I should probably update the overall map pic. After spending a little more time on this at home I found dozens more courses and marked them. It's astonishing how many are out here lol. There's been some good deals on several courses I haven't played before lately. I should be checking off another 4-6 new ones over the next month.

Yeah, but the price you pay is that you have to live in Texas.

Bah I wouldn't want to live anywhere else... at least in the US.

Where are you at? Chances are I've been near it maybe...

That's blasphemy to a Texan. I know as I'm married to one. They love their state.

heh I was born in Ohio but been here for last 7 years now. Dad was Army and we got the usual shipments all over the world. I'm pretty much here because I want to be, not for a job or family or anything really other than I just like it lol.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
