Well, 11 months into this great ride, I finally broke into the 80's!!!! However it is a little bitter sweet, due to a significant melt down on the last three holes. I had a 65 with three left!!!! Great drive off tee at 16, left my approach a little short into a deeeeep greenside bunker. I am usually pretty decent in the sand, but it took me 4 to get out. Two putt for an 8. 17, I hook left out of bounds, bounce all around this hole for another 8...aaarrrgh!!! Par 5 18 into the water off the tee, couple of crappy iron shots and two putt for a 7. Total score 88. Here are the highlights. 3 over 39 on the front 9 125 out PW hole out for Eagle on 9. Couldn't see it go in because of a two level green. buddies played it off like I went past into the water. after milling around a little, I found it...in the cup!!!! 14 Fairways or GIR 34 putts (last week 43) So, there you are...big choke down the stretch, but I am still super excited to finally reach this goal!!!

Congrats. Yeah skill is definitely there. Sounds like you may have started getting a little over excited at the end. (who would blame you, if I was playing that good, my 300lb ass would be doing backflips).

My advice, do not dwell on those last 3 holes. You need to get out there again and put up some good numbers ASAP

That's pretty amazing.  You should be very happy with your 88.  First time I broke 90 was with an 82.  Let's just say it sucks to break it by so much, and then be disappointed for the next year, still trying to break 90, but never get close to that crazy number.  Keep at it and you will break that 88 in no time. :)

OT but the company I work for just registered the generic version of Viagra. Did you all know there is a huge market for it? We will start mass production soon. Anyone want to be my friend? ;)

Nice round! and 14 GIRs is awesome, if you can routinely hit that many GIR you'll be seeing a lot lot more of the 80s and lower i promise you.

Did the OP really mean 14 GIR? That's amazing, not sure if I've ever hit that many greens.

Hey Joe,

Don't look at the scorecard, just record your score for each hole and move forward.  The worst enemy of every golfer is the 6 inches between his ears.

He says he was on 65 through 15 holes so if we assume the course par at 72 and the last 3 holes at play at a combined par 12 then he was only +5 at that point. I would assume then then if one hole he'd missed the green he bogeyed then he'd have had 4 three putts from 14 GIR which from the OPs handicap and purely the fact that hitting that many greens gives you a lot more chances to 3 putt then i would say 14 GIR would match to his score. But hitting 14 GIR for the OPs handicap is a terrific effort so fair play to him

That is amazing. I'm lucky to hit 1 or 2 GIRs in a round. If I hit 10 GIRs I would do a back flip, I would be so excited.

Yes I just checked.  The most I've ever hit was 12, 5 on the front and 7 on the back.  Then again, my best score every was with 7 GIR. ;)

      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?
