HI Guys

Just getting back into playing after only playing once or twice a year last four or five years. Used to play a lot in my late 30's and 40's but a back operation put an end to that for a while, then work and life got in the way, now getting a chance to slow down a little at work so wanting to start back up playing. Going to get custom fitted later in year ( wife's Christmas present to me:) )...hope to retire in a few years so this set of clubs should last me till I get to old to play. Now playing with off the shelf Callaway Irons and driver........shooting in 100's right now but looking forward to improving that next year..so Hello everyone

Welcome! I'm in Farmington Hills. I also used to play often but since the birth of my son have barely played. We are so fortunate to have dozens of fine public courses to play.

there is a lot of courses to play for sure, just wished the grass didn't turn white for so much of the year ;-)

      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?
