Shot an 87... best score ever and first time breaking 90!!! I was so excited and I didn't even get a birdie, haha... definitely could have done even better though, 3 chipped on a par 4 and my drive landed 25 yards before the green (grrr... I was in the process of playing through a group) and then also +3'd a par 3 (again, while in the process of playing through a group)... hit 8 fairways/greens which was better than normal (I know it's not that good), and had 36 putts (also a personal record).

Despite the poor play while trying to pass some groups, I'm very happy with my score. I would like to play a round where I can keep consistent pace though, that would probably help me a bit. ;)

And yes, first post here!!! :)

38 on the back last night for league. Could not putt. 3 putted for par on the first hole. Only made one 1 putt all night. Couple of bad shots but not many.
Won my match 6-4.....can't believe I'm giving up 2 or more strokes.....

Shot my best score of the year, and it was on a harder course then I've been playing this year (last year's and next year's home course actually) and only my second time playing there this year. Shot a 77 (par 72).

83 (+11). Was +1 through 6 and ended the front nine double, bogey, double. My swing is finally down pat. I just really need a mental teacher for putting.

10/18 greens
36 putts

I played this morning and shot a 73(+1). I went out in 35, but got a little ugly coming back in with a 38. Today was the first time I took out my new driver. I got a Nike SQ Str8-Fit and hit the ball the best that I have off the tee in a while.

Another 38 today (+3) on McCabe's North course (34.9/62). Six pars, three bogeys. Putting was good. 2/7 fairways, 3/9 greens, 4/6 up and down. Gave myself several looks at birdie, just never converted... Much fun.

Combines with yesterday's 38 on McCabe's middle course for a two-day 76. Awesome.

Feeling pretty good about my game right now.

102... GROSS. I shot an 87 two days ago! :( My putting was awful today though... chipping was decent. Decided I'll throw down $10 at a Par 3 course for some short game practice before I hit 18 again.

Shot a 3 over 73 yesterday. Great round except for three 3 putts. I've been putting really well lately, but still have a 3 putt or two pop up every round. Birdied 3 of the last 5 holes coming in. Lipped out the 2 that I missed.

Played two rounds today, shot an 84 on the first round and an 81 on the second round. Contact has improved a lot, been working on my weight shift, hip turn, and keeping my right elbow in and have started to make solid contact on the ball first.

    • 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?
