Makes you appreciate Zach Johnson's game even more. Specially after his chip in just now, spent hardly any time and just chipped it in. Take some notes Andrew SLOUPE

Wow. Texas bunkers look just like Quebec bunkers.

Nah.  Quebec bunkers are currently full of snow!

They just put Loupe on the clock. Its about time! That guy has the worst pre-shot routine, very slow player.

Johnny Miller said he would quit announcing if Na, Bradely, and Loupe was in the same group. LOL

I can sometimes forgive a player who takes a long time IF they hit a great shot... sometimes, but when they take forever and then hit a $h!t shot it is too much to take.

"While we're young" becomes "Before I kill you" pretty quickly.

Announcer (not Miller) just said "Loupe is NOT the reason this group is behind." Then went on to imply that it's because nobody is hitting fairways lol? Suuuurrreee guys.

[quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/73489/2014-valero-texas-open-discussion-thread/60#post_969344"]Gratuitous shot at Tiger - QUICK [COLOR=A52A2A]@everyone[/COLOR] drink a beer!  This is an awesome game! :beer:   We should play every sunday.

That wasn't meant to be a shot. It was meant to be a joke. :-D But there also is some truth to it. Once Tiger retires, they'll have to do something to spice up the game or their ratings will plummet.[/quote] FYI: jokes are supposed to be funny

Loupe and Kuchar are off the clock now. I'll agree with @DEsler , I can understand a slow/"delibrate" player if they hit great shots after their mind finally settles into the shot.

One of the few things that can make me quit this game is slow play. I can't do 6 hour rounds, just can't.

Good for Bowditch. But my gawwwd this year is a drag so far. Slow play, no namers winning, and good players sucking. Hope at least the majors will be rewarding.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

So it looks like another week where we have a new champion and a star player

Agree. This has been a very boring year so far. It seems like every week a big name is in position to win and blows it (McIlroy Honda, Dufner-Doral, Rose-Valspar, Scott-Bay Hill, Kuchar-Texas) and then a no name wins. I really hope the Masters provides some drama. I really don't want to see a John Senden-Matt Every Sunday showdown for the green jacket.

    • 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?
