Ok, back on topic please :-)

To be fair, Jenkins is kind of trolling, which is what we got side-lined by here. I'm a big fan of satire, political or otherwise and thought the fictional interview wasn't that bad since I assumed that Golf Digest isn't going to let him say something that would be over the top, yet funny, even in a mean way. If you are going to pull that, I guess leave it to SNL. But how different is Jenkins being than "Jack is Best"? I can see objectively why people might criticize TW. But writing that Tiger beat nobodies is trolling, or at the least not giving credit for beating some deep fields.

Dan Jenkins needs to be put out to pasture.  But not until after he's been horse whipped.

My grandmother is kind of like Dan Jenkins. She farts in public and uses the term "colored", but she doesn't care because she's old. What's anyone gonna do about it?

You might know I'm not Tiger's biggest fan (to put it mildly), but there was a Masters during the Big Five days when Tiger had the lead on the final day and the other four, Mickelson, Els, Singh, and Goosen, were within easy striking distance. And none of them put a move on him. Woods didn't pull away, either. If one of them got too close, he made a birdie and put himself back where he had been. It was almost as if they were afraid to challenge him.

Anyway, the best four players in golf, after Tiger, had their chance and he beat them all. Period.

This is true. I had the thought after his heinous article last year that perhaps the Masters might ban him as punishment. But no backlash whatsoever. Seems this prick has carte blanche simply because of his age. Frustrating. I don't believe this article rises to the same level as last year's, it's just dumb and people need to stop paying him.

      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?

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