Seriously. I park my car outside Gold's Gym today, go work out, come back, and find that someone's broken into my car. Well, not broken into, technically - the windows were left down because its 95 degrees - but still, do people have nothing better to do?

The kicker is what they stole. They didn't steal the ashtray full of change, the 20 dollar bill under the seat, or the MP3 player. But, they stole a box of Pro V1's right out of my car, that I was going to use for my club championship.

Okay, easy solve. Not so far down. You were just tempting a golfer to steal them. My boss has about 15 dozen prov1x in a closet. Imagine a golfer breaking into his house.

What's the joke about the black belt's car being broken into by an olympic runner?

At least the windows are intact, so it could be worse. In the future, leave the golf balls in the trunk, if you have one. Or, get a car where the remote unlocking device can be used to lower the windows.

Around here it only cools down to 95 a few days out of the year, and I always leave my windows up and stow things like MP3 players and over-priced golf balls out of sight. Welcome to one of life's little lessons: Other people want your crap.

Maybe Kentucky needs some of those little signs like they have in Florida that remind the old folks to roll up their windows and lock their doors.

#1 - When I leave my car anywhere except in the garage with the door closed, I leave it with the windows up and the doors locked. Even then I don't leave anything one the seats in plain view as a temptation for a thief. That is the best way to get ripped off.

Like they say, locks will only keep out an honest thief, but they WILL keep the the opportunistic thief from an easy score.


Oh, and by the way, it was nearly 100 here yesterday... my doors were still locked with the windows up.

man, it sucks to be you

At least they didn't get your clubs too... $50 and a lesson learned is much better than $1000+ worth of stuff getting jacked.

As an insurance agent, I'll recommend you always lock your car up! We had a customer go into a walgreens or CVS, and while he was in there visiting his girlfriend...he had $18,000 worth of stuff stolen from inside and the back of his pickup truck (that was unlocked).

Our insurance carrier denied the claim because the vehicle was unlocked! Needless to say he wasn't happy...but always lock your vehicle when you can!

Well at least they didn't take the mp3 player or rip out your stereo. I had my car broken into twice within a couple of months when I was in college. Just ended up driving without a radio for about 6 months...sucks when your dating someone an hour and ten minutes away.

Keep you stuff outa site. I have a Jeep Cherokee and always take my clubs out of the truck when I get home casue it would be easy to break into the back and take em. When they are in the back, I pull the vinal cover over them to hide them.

How low can people sink...

Unfortunately people can sink low enough that you are very fortunate the lowlife who stole your golf balls didn't steal anything else.

Maybe your car wasn't worth stealing?

Yeah, lesson learned. I won't keep the windows all the way down, anymore. It doesn't normally get that hot here in Kentucky, just really humid.

As to my car, it's not that bad. I however never have the clubs in my car unless I'm actually golfing that day - I ride as light as possible, to save whatever gas mileage I can get.

Good question. I never heard that one . . . . but I'm sure it's a riot!

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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?
