To change things up we decided to play a course in the next town over Sunday, had the 7:30 tee. Perfect day.

Anyway, so I pitch up on to #4, walk up mark my ball and go to tend the flag.

After my buddie putts, it's my turn, I walk back over to where my ball should be a can't find my mark. I'm using one of those standard small-sized plastic marks, cause I left my normal on at home. (Doh!)

Anyway I'm looking, and the other guys come over. The greens haven't been mowed yet so you can see the tracks of the ball rolling in the dew, so I traced my pitch roll and think it should be in spot "A". There is no mark anybody in our fore some can see, so they agree to let me putt from spot "A".

I put my ball down, step back and look at the line. Then I step up to putt and what do I see 18" from my ball? You guessed it, my mark. Now I'm kinda freaked out, because I SWEAR it wasn't there :30 seconds before that, and so do all the guys in my group.

One of the guys in the group things the green must be haunted. I'm starting to think he may be right!

FWIW - I holed the putt (about 16') for par.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

I'm guessing you either stepped on it and it was stuck to your shoe, or it was stuck to the bottom of your putter, then came off as you were getting lined up. With those little plastic marks, they can stick to stuff very easily when wet because they have so little weight to them.

Nope, checked both. AND if it just dropped down there is no way it would have been stuck all the way in, you have to push down on it to make it sit flush.

      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?
