whilst playing a mixed doubles comp at the weekend the lady captian decided to miss out 3 holes which everyone else had to follow, after the comp the team that were winning had to settle for 2nd place because the team that had come 2nd complained that the course had been shortened so the handicaps would have been wrong. Can anyone let me know if the handicaps can be changed when they were set for a 18 hole comp, but half way through the comp it was decided to change to a 15 hole comp, many thanks, kev.

Under the rules for a competition, the committee can't change the stipulated round in mid tournament.  I haven't even bothered to look it up, but my feeling is that if something happened to make those holes somehow unplayable, then the round should have been canceled or postponed.  If it was just done on a whim, then it's time for a new captain.  Or give her some training on how to run a competition.

That's correct, the round can't be shortened after it has already started.  I would be pissed if I was in a competition run like that.  I've never seen anything like that happen before.

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
