shot my best 9 ever this evening. a 40 on my home course. only 13 putts!

played with 10 clubs - Driver, Hybrid, 5-PW, 56 and putter. a beautiful afternoon to walk by myself.

i'm finding i play my best when i'm alone. my tempo and routine are solid. just need to try and transfer that over to playing with other people.

Now just starting to get back into golf after a year of a bad back. I have changed my swing and gone to a long putter to help the back. Glad to say I had a 42 today with 2 triples. Getting there, just glad to be back on the links.

I shot 100. My worst score in over 3 years. It's my first time playing in a few weeks, but I didn't think it would be THAT bad. I don't feel bad about it, though, because I understand why the score was so high. Now I just need to put in some work to fix it. It was a strange round... Almost half pars and the other half triple bogeys. I did hit one shot absolutely Hogan pure. All I remember is that I wanted to feel my right arm extending down the target line and my right shoulder chasing after the ball down and through. After about 10 rehearsals, perfect execution. Completely striped like a laser and so pure. That was at least worth the 100. There were quite a few others down the middle, but that one stuck with me.

93 (49/44) on my home course. Again, another round after a 12 hour night shift for me. I never go into these rounds expecting too much as fatigue is inevitable but I find it weird that both last week and today had similar results - start off slow, make the turn on pace to hit 100 and somehow really turn it on during the back and make it respectable.

I really need to figure my driver out, it has deserted me the past couple of rounds. Slices keep occurring and I have never had to battle continuous slicing before. Hmmm.

94 (45/49). I found a lot of fairways and got a lot of up-n-downs, but my irons weren't there. I couldn't hit them straight or long, and I didn't hit a GIR all day, despite 4 good chances on par 4s alone.

79 (42/27) at a local course (115 slope / 70.0 rating). 11 fo 14 fairways, 8 of 18 greens, 34 putts. I find my game is drastically different on 110-115 slope courses than 120-135 (10-15 strokes).

Went from 80 last week to an 87. Not the right direction. At least it was a tougher course, 135 slope. Still trying to escape newbie status.

86....not what I wanted, but I was hooking my driver and went down to my 1 iron to save the round just to be in the 80s

87 (42/45) @ Whittle Springs. Course was a little wet, but a beautiful day to play. Putting was off a little, due the the greens having just been aerated. Pretty happy with my game overall.

51/47 for a 98... I only hit one good drive all day and even though it was in my shot cone, it turned out my cone's aim was about 5 yards too far left. I couldn't hit anything over a 6I all day though, and definitely couldn't putt worth a damn. My short irons saved me 15 strokes easily though.

46 for 9 holes. Pretty good, should have been a 44 but for a chunked shot and my inability to tap in on the last hole. Fortunately I rarely hit completely terrible shots any more, not sure where the chunk came from, it was a pretty run of the mill hybrid shot and just hit a foot short. The highlight of the round was three consecutive scrambling pars (even though one was only a scramble because I bladed a < 40 yard pitch over the green and had to save par), capped by a very nice sand save, if I do say so myself.

    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
