I will mainly be watching Rory at Wentworth, I love watching tournaments in the morning and then golfing in the evening.

If the Crowne Plaza looks interesting on Sunday I'll tune in, I'll also be keeping tabs on it for fantasy golf reasons.

Not to change the subject but. I hope to be taking my dad to French Lick Indiana for Saturday's round of the senior PGA championship.

Not gonna lie, I thought about adding that...

Didn't the senior's JUST have a major? Do they have back to back majors?

Good question, toss-up for me so will depend on the leader board. Assuming the cream rises to the top in both, I'll probably divide my time equally.

Yeah, very strange indeed. I will be the first to admit that I don't follow the Seniors like I do the PGA tour. So when I heard that last week, Jeff Maggert had one the 1st Senior Major of the year, I was like really? I thought I was taking my dad to the first senior Major of the year in the PGA championship. Back to back Majors? I have never heard of such a thing. I had no idea that the Regions tournament was considered a Major for the Seniors.

Most likely more of the Crown Plaza because it's on later.

Depends who's in contention. If Rory is up there, I'll be watching the BMW. If Spieth is in it at the Crowne, I'll be tuning in there.

Rory just finished his 18, was a sub-par round in all sense of the word. Long game was ok, putting was ok, short game was ok, I'll have to check stats on GIR, I know he hit quite a few fairways. He ended up -1.

Miguel Jimenez ended his round tied for the lead at -4. It looks like a really tough course out there today.

G-Mac looks absolutely terrible. 3 over after 3. He just missed a routine 2 footer. I don't think I've ever seen him do that.

Lots of rain in Ft Worth and Dallas right now ... so I would think Wentworth. Colonial will be delayed at times, as it is this morning.

The BMW is too damn early.

I arrive to work before 6am so I love it!

Padraig Harrington withdrew because of shoulder injury. He shouldn't have even teed up, he only played two holes.

Crowne Plaza tournament is still in delay.

Hahaha, Molinari waves goodbye to a drive.

https://twitter.com/EuropeanTour/status/601417079909163008

Speaking of Molinari, INCREDIBLE round today, -7 on a very tough course...2 stroke lead.

Note on Paddy, first withdraw in like 20 years!

I don't get the Golf Channel at this house so won't be watching Wentworth. I can pick it up on Sky sports over the internet but the quality is less than good. Plus I usually play golf in the morning anyway.

    • 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.
