Tied my home course record of a 65 today. Practiced putting for about 30 minutes and hit the first tee. Birdie on 2,10,11,12,14, and 18 but had a frustrating 13th with a bogey and a 3 putt. Was driving the ball about 300, it was a really windy day today so i couldnt keep it in the fairway 50% of the time. Irons looked hot and no chips in today but a couple of lippy rimjobs.

92 from the tips at Barefoot Norman in Myrtle Beach. Started well, and then lost my swing for about 5 holes. Went 49-43 for a 92. Finished birdie, bogey, par, birdie. Should've been much, much better. <90 at a minimum...

Best fairways I've ever hit from. And such true, smooth greens. Anything under 10 feet was pretty easy.

Must. Keep. Swing. Flat...

I had my best 9 holes ever today . I was hoping to break 70 (I know, pretty bad) and I shot a 58. So I not only broke the 70 but 60 as well. Now the goal is to break 50 by September 1.

Hello fellow golfers, this is my first post on this forum. I actually found this webpage because I was googling reviews on the set of irons that I bought. Since then, I have been reading all the posts in the different sections on this forum.

Anyways, I played a decent round today. I played Menifee Lakes today: Lakes course from the back tees. I shot a 37 (par 35) on the front and a 39 (par 37) on the back. This was including hitting two waters on the back 9. I was able to save par on one hole but bogeyed the second. I had three birdies throughout the 18. So total score was 76. Probably could have shot 74 or 75 had I not been greedy on those two holes that I hit the water hazard but oh well.

Oh I forgot to add that I had 28 putts total, 14 on the front and 14 on the back.

shot 9 over today and was extremely disappointed...
flubbed too many easy shots...
7 over front and 2 over back...
i shoulda broke 80 easily today if it wasnt for #9 a par5 583 with a skinny fw lined by trees for 300yds and water along the left side of the green which doglegs the last 75 80 yards...
trying to reach the green in 2 was just retarted... after splashing 1 in the water then attempting to lay up which resulted in another ball swimming... over shooting the green cuz i got intimidated by the water... then 3 putting...
im surprised the rest of my round went so well starting the back with a birdie... and finishing with a par... next time ill try my best not to get too greedy

played five rounds in the past week, all on the same par 70 course.

75 - 81- 86 - 79 - 75

my first round in eight days

4-6-6-4-5-6-4-4-4= 43

fairways hit: 4/9
GIRs: 1/9
GIRs +1: 6/9
putts: 13
1 unplayable lie, followed by a great 3 wood
4 bunker shots, one a brilliant 3 wood from a flat open lie in a fairway bunker that went over 200 yards, another left in the bunker that was followed by one a foot next to the pin

a very enjoyable 115 minutes

The forecast this week looks like the best July weather ever. I hope to get a few 18 hole rounds in after watching the Open Championship coverage.

Par'd in 9 holes 34, I'm starting to get pretty consistent on staying under +3 for 9. A flip flop day. I made 3 birdies which is fantastic, but I could have definitely made that a -3 with some stupid mistakes. Actually had a putt for eagle today after cutting a corner high with a 3 iron, but missed that. I'm pretty steamed that I 3 putted twice, but I was definitely rushing because i was playing with a father son duo in my 4some that didn't really know how to play golf and we were last to go out before leagues and they were running up our butts. Did close up with two birdies though, what a great way to finish.

I shot 106 today. I played a course I've never played, I let myself get rushed and frustrated and things just went downhill. Ugh. If there's any good news I chipped in for a birdie which was great, although that obviously wasn't enough to give me a score I was happy with. Oh well, that's what next time is for.

53 last night. Played horrible. Couldn't drive the ball and had the most 3 putts I have had all year.
Good news is that after my round I hit a bucket of balls and I might have my driver figured out. Will hit the range again tomorrow night and then play a round on Saturday to test it out.

Shot a 5 over 75 which in itself isn't that great, but I hit every single fairway and green on the front 9 which had me pretty stoked. I had shortened my swing to 3/4 and I was puring everything. I couldn't buy a putt to save my life so ended up 2 putting everything, but that's the breaks. Back 9 was a different story. Ended up in a bunker on 11 buried so deep I could almost not see the ball at all. Took a double there. Golf is not a game of perfect. At least not most of the time. Its a game of scramble....scramble eggs. :)

32 in my mens league 9 hole last night. Format this week was 2-man Captain's Choice. Lipped out two eagle and one birdie putt. Should have carded a 29. 32 put us in 2nd in the A flight so we received a little pro shop credit. No skins though...

72 yesterday. Nothing horrible or spectacular going on. 2 birdies, 14 pars, 2 bogies. Plenty of good drives, a few good mid irons, lots of GIR's, but less then stellar wedge play. Left myself way too many 20+ footers for birdie.

43 (+7) front, 43 (+8) back. Played the front from the "Tournament Tees" (about 6600 yards), but the "Championship Tees" on the back (about 7100 yards). Five doubles. Four 3 putts. 7 GIRs with only two on the back. I didn't play poorly, just let a few holes slip. I won my matches even though I would have gotten demolished in stroke play.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
