Played 9 at Black Bear, shot a 45 then stopped keeping track of score as I really wasn't feeling it today (cold, blustery day)

Then played 9 at Cascades at Crystal Springs (new track, just opened up in 2009) so open, such a fun course. Would love to play there again soon.

Then hopped on for a quick 9 at Wild Turkey. New favorite course everything was so perfect...every fairway, every green. I parred 4 straight holes at one point...kinda sad I wasn't keeping score for those.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

42 on 9 today in the wind and cold. Best 9 I've had in about 2 months and probably the last time I'll play this year as it's supposed to get down in the 20s this week.

47 on the front, 42 on the back at Wild Turkey.


Followed a group that must've believed they were on the PGA tour because they took a good 5-7 minutes EVERY green and EVERY tee box. The round took 5 hours and their group was on carts (and had no idea how to use them...) On a Saturday in July, yeah 5 hours is fine. On a Monday in late November, no. The ranger even warned them but to no avail. Killed any kind of momentum I had going.

As for my play...I had 4 3-putts on the front which absolutely murdered my score. Parred, birdied, parred to start the back though which was nice.

I shot a 40 today on 9, it was really nice out (75 degrees) and I had alot of fun, had a birdie, a few pars and a few bogeys. Played with my dad and my friend. Overall it was a pretty good round.

Recently retired from the US Army, so I have finally decided to try to get into playing golf. Played at a SIDS benefit and shot a 110. Had a great time and now trying to figure all this out.

Played with two good buddies and made a few friends on Sunday.....first time to swing a club in months since the back went south.....shot an ugly 85, hit tons of fat and thin shots....did piece 3 great shots together on a shortish par 5 to make eagle, made my day, for some reason the putter was hot......also, uttexas and senorchipotle went with me for burgers afterwards.....good times, thanks guys....

Today at the 17th hole: I hit a okay Driver shot and just missed the fairway. Then I hit a so-so hybrid shot followed by an awesome 60 yds shot - on green!

The ball went in with just one putt and I cried in elation - first birdie in my life! Oh wait, I looked at the scorecard and realized it's a par 4, not par 5.

Failed...

I am still waiting for my first birdie.

46 on the front 44 on the back.


Not a pretty start at all. Lost a bunch of balls and almost thought about giving up before heading for the back but glad I didn't. I strung together 3 straight pars at one point then a gir on a par 3 but 3 putted stupid overly fast greens for late November.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • 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.
