On Saturday, I shot my personal best, 86. On Sunday, I had a 4some scheduled for 9:30, but got to the course early to try and sneak in a round, first one on the course teeing for at 7am, but I ended up pairing up with another guy for company. Because of the pair, that round took longer, and I ended up having to stop after the 14th hole. I was playing really well, and avoided ANY blowup holes until that point, which was a first. I was at 69 through 14 holes. The final 4 holes were all par 4's, and easily bogeyable the way i was playing.

Fast forward to 9:30am round. I par the first two holes. How great, Continuing my hot streak.... Then at the 4th hole the wheels came undone. 2 in the woods off the tee... I ended up with a 107 (in reality this was higher this was just my ESC) when all was said and done. with ESC I got 8's on 6 holes (most on the back 9) I had a 47 on the front. . On most of the other holes that I didn't butcher I ended up mostly with some pars and bogeys. I think I ended up getting hungry for lunch and it caused me to fatigue, because I typically don't play in 4somes so the round took longer than expected. Plus once I knew

Funny though big of change youc an have between two rounds within the same day!!!

Dang you must really be a golf addict or have plenty of energy to try and get in a round under 2 1/2 hrs then tee off again.I couldnt play well unless I know for sure I can get the whole 18 in.Im not the 9 hole type just because of what happened to you.You just know that when you only play nine that your gonna do well and wonder what could have been if I played 18.

Me too. I only care about 18 holes. I'll even golf in the dark to finish a round.

And then no one believed you right?

No Chance I could only do 9 holes. Especially since the Front 9 is actually the easier of the two, so there is always the hope of putting together a great round. I am pretty addicted, lol, it's actually bad now. Even 36 holes for me isn't really enough. I typically play alone which is why I can get through the rounds so quickly, although more recently I've been asking my club to pair me with people, so I end up playing less holes, but I've found it helps me focus a bit more, since it slows me down. I have a very hard time pacing myself when I play alone,

Just a heads up Dan, Don't type within the quote box.  It malforms the post.  Look at the above, it looks like everything YOU wrote was actually written by Duff.

No biggie, we've all done it at one time or another.

And welcome to the board!

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • 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.
