Wasn't last year's pretty good?

I meant the last two majors. 2012 was awesome

I enjoyed watching the majors this year, but many didn't and I understand why.  They certainly weren't nail-biters.  I think the British is going to be quite entertaining, we're bound to get a good one here eventually.

"Productive" can be such a vague word to define....

You won't have to as long as you have a deathly illness and are bed stricken ;)

I'm driving home from Carolina all day Sunday. Going to make an attempt to DVR it and watch it Sunday night or Monday morning. I will have to totally ditch the cell phone (with the exception of music) and ignore the outside world.

Somebody on the Golf Channel said in his practice round at Hoylake he would have been unlikely to break 80 if he played 18 holes.

This is disappointing.

It might have just been a bad day; they said today that he beat Matt Kuchar in a match.

Good stuff.  I'd like both those guys to do well.

Tiger is never going to change. Just watched his press conference. Gotta love him but he's starting to get delusional.

Damn, which group has better ball striking?

I suppose as of RIGHT NOW, you'd have to go with Scott, Rose, Dufner.

Two great groups to watch, especially with the irons.

I didn't catch it, what did he say that was delusional?

Looking at the weather forecast, Friday looks like the day that you're going to have to dodge the big winds. Supposed to blow harder for the afternoon groups, so that doesn't bode well for Tiger or Rory. Other than that, looks like a pretty warm week with some rain over the weekend. Winds not much of a factor besides Friday....but beware it is the UK and forecasts change by the minute.

    • 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?
