Wow, almost let today slip by ... just a really bad day ... the good thing about this challenge is, I did go in the backyard and putt for about 15 minutes ... sort of nice to get away and just concentrate hitting in a straight line ... I think my ability to stay on line is improving.

I asked Mike about that last week. He said "Going through the swing or what I'm working on very slowly."

Mirror work for 10 minutes.

Was going to take a rest day, but. . .

Hit about 100 balls out of a sand trap with my 60 wedge. Should have tried the 52 and PW as well, maybe tomorrow. Then hit almost a bucket using practice drill swings every 5 range balls.

Got a great shot with my 3i off a quarter to 3/8" tee. It was the only time I carried it to the proper distance.

This is my 2nd entry for today, but I had a bit of a mini breakthrough on the range this evening and had to post. That moment when you realize that one simple thing is causing most of your misfits. Man I love golf.

      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?
