Well by te title you can see that I want to make it to the top. I'm a senior in high school and have just started getting back into golf and am loving it. I have been shooting in the high 90s or low 100s but I need to improve that. Golf season for men start at my high school sart in the spring about march. I want to be able to play on the golf team and play well and I want to shoot in the 80s by that time. I'm willing to give it my all and need some help knowing what I should do. I get out of school at 1230 everyday and work 3 days a week and have a girlfriend, so take those things into mind. But anyway I wanted some suggestions on a good routine and workout schedule I could have to make myself the best. I have just recently have become a member at a local course where I can play 9 holes for 1$ and get a sack of range balls for 1$. I just need to know what I need to do to become my best.

sounds like you don't care enough... dump the girl

Agreed.  You don't need a girlfriend in high school, focus on school and golf.  You have more free time now than you will ever have in your life, don't waste it on some girl.

Tell the girl what you want as far as golf. If she really cares about you she'll understand and be supportive. If she doesn't understand and thinks that everything is about her and you should feel that way too, well dump her.

    • 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.
