Defending champ: Luke Donald along with Adam Scott, Matt Kuchar are entered. Not the best field, but the course gets a lot of positive comments as one of the PGA tour player's favorites.

I'll be out there Tues, Thursday, Friday, and most likely Saturday - being the golf groupie. Can't get enough of watching PGA events in person.   This tournament is having sponsor problems and could be the last year if a 2014 sponsor doesn't come forward.

Innisbrook Copperhead Course.....who says Florida doesn't have hills and pine trees?

Luke Donald needs to get his game in gear.  He looked lost out there playing with Tiger and Rory.  Even when Rory was playing poorly... Luke just looked deflated and uninterested.

Pretty sad when he is the 3rd ranked player in the world... And playing nowhere near their caliber of play.

Hip problem. He's an old stager now.

Matt Kuchar and Brian Gay are the two highest ranked player in this year's Fedex points who will be playing this weekend in Tampa Bay.  If Kuchar won this weekend, it would put him in first place. Many of the crowd's favorites aren't slated to play.

Other notables on the Fedex List: Michael Thompson, Josh Teater, and Jimmy Walker.

Stuart Cink just changed clubs...it would be nice to see him show up with his best game!

Who looks good to you for this weekend?

Today: raining cats n' dogs. Was going to go out for practice rounds. Still might as the showers are supposed to go away this afternoon. Much cooler temps here 60s expected for the start of the tournament.  Course hasn't gotten much rain until today so I don't know how this will affect play of the course.

Will watch a few of the up and comers this week - will also look for some bigger names.

Of course, Michael Bradley playing in his backyard because I am not going this year. He never plays when I go, yet always does when I dont.

Tenth hole- Par 4 looking up from the green to the tee.

Typical of the Copperhead course - lots of elevation changes and pine trees - unusual for Florida courses.

Looks like a great field for an event I have never watched. I will be sure to catch as much as I can. Looking at pictures of the course and it looks like a fun one to play. Should be a fun event to watch.

    • 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.
