Not a lot of airtime for Luiten's match now; the other ones are more exciting and close.

That's too bad, I like watching a golfer in dominant form.

Blixt made a clutch putt there, needed that.

And a certain birdie for Luiten after another great approach. A lot can happen in Match Play, but it seems Luiten is too strong and Larrazabal already gave up.

Exactly whose idea was it to hold this tournament at a course across the street from a race track on the same weekend as said race track is hosting the British Superbike Grand Prix? The buzzing of motorcycle engines is driving me mad, and I'm watching on TV.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Blog ET: I have to say I have a soft spot for Joost Luiten - just the way he goes about his business is great to see. He plays aggressive golf with minimum fuss, and right now, he is the form man in this prestigious tournament. Joost won all his group games and he's not letting up against Larrazábal today. The Dutchman is six up on the Spaniard with seven holes to play.

It's driving me crazy too. But I only listen to the commentators for about an hour. Then, the TV sound gets muted and the stereo comes on. I don't need to be told what I can see anyway.

According to the commentators, the schedule for semi finals is different from what was on the ET website. Luien might have to play against winner Ilonen/Dubuisson. Would be weird, but we'll see.

Dubuisson also out, against Ilonen. I start to like Luiten's chances.

Reed loses 2&1 against Coetzee and can go home.

Reeds won quite a few friedns this week. Described in this mornings paper as a "breath of fresh air".

South Africans have a fantastic record in this (OK Player and Els) but it also makesme smirk again a little bit at this notion that players need to be given a months notice to prepare themselves - Fair enough, Coetzee had more notice than John Daly when he won the USPGA, but he was only a confirmed runner as late as Monday

Coetzee immediately 2up against Stenson. Luiten 1down. Exciting semi finals.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
