Wow. Texas bunkers look just like Quebec bunkers.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Pressure is starting to get to Bowditch, that last iron shot looked something like I'd hit not a pro.  I'm not getting Loupe, he takes all these practice swings that look completely different from the swing he makes over the ball.

Don't know if it was pressure or not, but that was pretty horrendous.

Did Na just slam his club into sand after leaving it in the bunker? Penalty?

Couldn't tell ... He scraped it on the ground in front of him a few times, but behind a hump from the camera. Presumably was wiping sand off face using grass outside bunker.

They're talking to him ... Looks like you ( @BallStriker ) were right!

Na got hit with 2 shot penalty, dumb move.  He can't get out of his own way sometimes.

That's not the bad part.

The bad part is before slamming his club down he backed off it twice, took 12 practice swings, and 47 wiggles.

That's incredible...I feel sorry for the marshals that have to hold their 'quiet please' signs up for a full minute +. Poor lil fellers.

I just saw his "pre-shot routine" for the first time. Good Grief!!!!! He must have learned to play golf all by himself. I can't see any respectable foursome ever inviting him back to play with them again.

Then after all of those antics he pulled the shot a mile left. :loco:

Deserves the double bogey. He's been put on the clock!! First time I've seen only one player in a group put on the clock but good on them! Absolute joke, this has to be the worst I've seen.

Is this, perhaps, because its 100% obvious that it's only him that is playing slow?

In the past, it's always been the entire group that goes on the clock, right?

Yes, it's clearly Loupe that has them two hole behind.  All these delays have to me messing with Kuchar's and Bowditch's mental focus.

Oh for sure it is, I can't imagine the impact it has on the other players. I know Kuchar is a stand up guy and probably won't make a big deal of it afterwards but you almost wish he was playing with someone outspoken to call him out on it.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • 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?
