Shot a pitiful 93. 50 on the front and 43 on the back, 35 putts total. I did chip in for par on the #1 handicap hole, so that took the sting out of the round a little bit.

Played Yankee Run in Brookfield Ohio. Course was in good shape greens where slower than my home course but rolled well. I shot a 77 with a dble bogey on the 18th. I got a horrible bounce on my chip and rolled it 15 ft past and pulled off a wonderful 3 putt from there.

Only got through 7 holes after work a couple days ago, but I was 3 over at that point. Not too bad for November golf in Minnesota.

Went out for 9 holes today shot 4 over 39.
Putting was pretty good except for one 3 putt.
I have been working on drawing the ball not a just playing for a slice and i have seen a huge improvement in my drives.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

    • 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.
