Just dropped my daughter off at the local cemetery.  Every Memorial Day, she, my Eagle Scout Godson, and a small handful of boy and girl scouts spend the morning placing flags on graves of veterans, some of which date back to World War I.  Although it's an early, somber start to the holiday, I'm proud to say that it's something she looks forward to every year.  It's also the subject of my avatar.

I hope everyone has a great day.  Lots of golf, family time, companionship, and fun, but I'd ask that we not forget those that gave their lives to help protect our freedom along the way.

David, this is great.  Love that your daughter does this and that she looks forward to it.  My son just "learned" (he's 4) about Memorial Day for the first time this year.

Me:  "Casey, what day is today?"

Him: "Memorial Day"

Me:  "What does that mean?"

Him "Soldiers died, and we put flags."

OK, so he's a little young for anything past that, but it's a start.

Everybody have a great (hopefully golf filled) day!  (I'm "stuck" with the family today so no golf ... but I think I'll get some practice in by dragging them all to mini golf :))

Amen to that.  Never let us forget the sacrifices that others have made to protect our way of life.

I'll say a prayer today for the Fathers, Uncles, Friends who forged through WWII and Korea and an additional prayer for those of my generation who fought in Viet Nam.

Two in particular (WWII and Viet Nam) told me stories that to this day bring a tear to my eyes for their gallantry and bravery. I was always humbled in their presence.

Our freedoms have come at quite a cost.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families that are in or have been in the military.    My only regret is that we don't do more for the veterans.

A big thank you to all of those that have served or are serving in the military.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

      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.

      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?
