Range - I warmed up with my sandwedge.

For my practice I would hit 5 shots with my 6 iron. I would do two practice swings before each shot.  After my 5 shots, I would do my drill while recording.  I recorded a dlt shot and a front on shot.

I made sure to practice slow today and I think I made some progress today.

Outside swings over grass, no ball.  This time I was working on increasing speed like in LSW.  Pulling my left arm through faster.  Trying to keep relaxed.  Like a 100m sprinter, moving fast without tension.  Feeling the club release through the hitting zone.  Still had to keep my head still and hip slide/turn.  Load and then unload.  Felt pretty good, need to keep at it until it feels natural and not forced.

Spent an hour on the putting green, mostly 4' and 6' putts, some 8' and 12', using my new Edel putter. I missed a LOT more than I would with my previous putter. I suspect it's because I had compensations in my stroke for something that needs to get out of the system :-)

you have any more info about this drill?


You simply put a head cover or an extra ball just outside and slightly of the ball you intend to hit.  You may hit both balls or the cover a few times, but your brain seems to subconsciously correct this pretty quickly.  Although, I'm sure that it is possible to do this drill successfully with an out to in path it is very effective for getting my swing path to where it needs to be.

Sounds great. I need to work on eliminating an outside in path as well, appreciate it

Okay, I overdid it again with 300 balls on the range, but it was grass for a change. This was the first day in months that we got to hit on it. It felt sooooo good. Luckily, the large buckets were filling to the 90 ball mark and I only hit 3 and a half of them.

It's like eating chips, you can't stop eating them. . .that "poof" sound on a good strike in grass is blissfully satisfying. B-)

Did the closed face drill today, focusing on getting the right elbow in more on the downswing to help keep it from extending to early.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      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.

      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?
