Fun stat: Jack has shot in the 80s sixteen times as a pro, six of which came before the age of 40. His highest rounds were a pair of 82s. Golf is hard, and the golfing gods are reminding us of

Sorry for the massive picture dump (well, "massive" is an overstatement). The 18th is down from seven bunkers on the right to only three. I snagged some of the plastic Memorial tees

anyone know if you can watch live on the website? they have a "featured group" up on their website, with Jason Day, Tiger Woods, and Patrick Reed; however, it doesn't say anything about watching their round.

Walked the front nine of the pro-am with Tiger. Talked and walked with Chris for a few of those. Got some high speed video from wherever I happened to be (so camera angles are not as I'd get them for students). And that's about all I'll say or share of that. Except that Tiger's equipment guy confirms his driver shaft is 70g. :-)

Almost a perfect angle on Fleetwood, the 1/4 speed chirping of the birds is cool too, chokes up about an inch:

Tiger with a horrible start. Bogey's the first, and put's the 2nd hole in the water.

Not that it means anything, but here's a take from a volunteer marshal.

Volunteer marshal on Tiger Woods: "He looked real bad on the range. Like he's going to miss the cut."

I love to watch Tiger play, but the constant analysis of his golf swing and where his mind is on every bad shot is getting so old. I mean, I get why because he was so great, but enough is enough. This morning I heard "Tiger Woods is smiling...he never used to smile." The guy is trying to find his game, we know. thanks.

When one has not really played consistently since 2010, and then undergoes 2 swing changes, I think it's tough, even for the best.

When one has not played consistently, has missed cuts, and then goes into golf hibernation for 2-3 weeks at a time, I question the strategy.

Would it not be better to immerse yourself into tournament play so you can constantly play in competitive conditions?

How did he not play consistently as recently as 2013, played 16 events & won 5 (btw 16 events is a full year for Tiger).

He has never immersed himself in playing tour events - even when he dominated the tour, he did it playing about 20 times a year

Players play, tough players win!

I don't like the driver swings I've seen so far. Weird swings like he's trying to steer it. And again...That high right shoulder on the follow thru. Not smooth and loose.

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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?
