It was briefly, but I had to send it to the guys there for the once-over (factual review - not a lot of facts, so even though it's long, it shouldn't TAKE too long). Here are some pictures. The

Tiger sure doesn't look very sharp in anything but his putting. But if he's playing well enough to be in the lead, the wind must be worse than it looks. Edit: Heh, and just as I said that, he finally hit a nice chip shot. I'd say he got robbed, but after all those bombs he made, it's hard to complain about his luck this week.

yeah, i actually called TNT and left a message on their comment line about how ridiculous it is to show 2 omega commercials in one commercial break.  i know its not going to do anything, but it felt good to vent.

only one round in the 60's so far today

what a difference the breeze makes

and it's just a breeze

avg 4 stroke increase over rd 1

in 91 at the war on the shore they had real wind

can't imagine playing that course in real wind

All this talk about the non-bunkers got me thinking.  It was said they are not maintained like bunkers and are more like hard pan cart paths and that is one of the reasons they are played as waste areas.  That sounds like every bunker in Arizona (with the exception of the nicer courses in the winter).  So I think I may start playing them all as "sand areas" :)

they're a man made hazard, I say a free drop is in order

I must have jinxed him.......sorry

I reverse jinxed Tiger. He has looked very sharp almost from the minute I posted that he wasn't looking very sharp. He just played the hardest stretch of the course in one under, and didn't miss a shot. And everybody else is falling off, except for the Swedish Meatball, but I don't see him sticking with Tiger over the weekend.

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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?
