I shot 79 on a very wet course that on a dry day plays over 7,200 yds. It had rained here for two straight days. Had some shots that were great and made a few mental errors. Overall a great day.

Shot a 35 / 48 total 83 today using my new Callaway X-24 Hot irons with graphite shafts.....

First time ever hitting them....and I started on 17 shotgun start...after double bogey on 17 & 18...I parred #1, then #2 then #3....all the way thru #9...9 Pars in a row!....never done that before....WOW! I think I am going to like these X-24's

Shot an 86. Not too bad last Saturday I shot a new low of 82. 86 with new clubs, 2nd time used today. Also trying out a different putter on top of adjusting to instructors new swing and putting stroke. Progress.

86.  Had more than a few chances to get lower than that, but my tee-to-green was really really solid.  I'll take it.

Shot a 40 in strong winds. A trip to the range straightened out the driver, but I was a little lose with 2 par putts and I actually flubbed a pitch shot into a greenside bunker. Got it up and down - once I stopped laughing. I was going to play 18, but my daughter had her first T-ball practice today.

Shot 93 (47 + 46 -- par 70) from the blacks today.

Kind of pleased because I normally play the whites, and 93 isn't that bad for me.

I hit a lot of fairways today, but playing the blacks had me quite a bit further from the greens.  ....didn't hit too many greens. :(

Only 34 putts though (because I missed the greens -- but got close, so I was closer to the pin when I finally got on) --- normally I have about 38.

That said, the next time I play, I think I'll be back to the whites.

83, and finished bogey, bogey, bogey and was in the middle of all 3 fairways!

Played yesterday with a 20 year old who plays with the Cornhuskers as a sophomore, at a +2.7 (unverified).

We played a local course from the back tees, about 6900 yds. He usually outdrove me by about 10-15 yds, but we were pretty much hitting the same irons, to the same distances, i.e. 5 iron ~200, 6 iron 190, etc., etc.. I did manage to out drive him on a couple of holes, and even drove the green on a short (327 yd) par 4, out driving him again. I also hit driver 3 iron to the middle of the green on a 534 yd par 5. But those were the exceptions.

He did score better than I, carding a 69, while I came in at 5 over that. Oh well, it was a great time. I got quite the complement from him about half-way through the front nine: "I get older guys all the time that are willing to play from the tips with me, but you can actually play from back here!" I told him that my home course is 7100 yds from the blues, and that I'm comfortable at that yardage for now. But I ain't getting any younger!

As I said, he is 20, and I'm 56.

But I felt a little younger yesterday...  :)

I was +6 going to 16 and I overcooked the tee shot and it rolled into a water hazard, ended up with double-bogey. Had birdie op on 17 with a 6-footer but I burned the left side of the hole; then bogeyed 18. Ah well...next time!


Wow, talk about similar... lol. I also shot 81 yesterday (39/42) and blew up on 16. I sliced my drive right into the tree line. However, it really wasn't a bad lie and I had a view of the green AND was only 90 yards out. However, I got too risky on my second shot and clipped a tree which knocked my ball down about 65 yards out. Still not too bad, and now in decent shape, I proceed to chunk my third shot into a GS bunker. On in four, two-putt double bogey. Only double on the day....ARGHH!!

My short game was just not in sync all day. On the up side, I had only 29 putts.

shot an extremely disapointing 46... driving was absolutely horrendous. putting was similar to driving. overall could have easily taken 5 or more strokes off. too bad, cant wait for next time...

Had to hurry up and get 9 in before the storms hit south Georgia.  I just graduated college and some new girl at the pro shop almost didn't let me on the course because she didn't know who I was.  I was pretty agitated since I grew up on this course, my mom has been the club champion for 22 years, and I shot the course record when I was 14!!

Anyway, I hit ZERO greens and still managed to pull out a 38 with 11 putts.  The ProV1 is killing me.  I have a lot of lag in my swing and usually come down on it pretty hard which results in a divot comparable to a 6" meatball sub.  With provolone.  I'm thinking about buying a few dozen V1x's to solve my spin problem.  As long as I'm playing on bermuda, I'll definitely need a ball with less spin!

I didn't really get to play at all while I was at school, so I'm really looking forward to this summer at home and on the course.... minus that stupid kid who needs to know her role.

My old stuff I still use:

Irons - Titleist DCI 981 (1998)
Putter - Odyssey 2-Ball DFX
Wedges - Cleveland Rg. 588 (47º, 52º, 54º, 57º)
Driver - Taylormade r7 Quad (2004)
Ball - Pro V1x

Shot a 38 on nine at like a 2800yd course. it was my best nine hole score EVER.

If only I didn't play an easy course everyday. I had a very climactic birdie putt on 9 to break my previous record of 39.

87 on a par 70 (44+43).

Very happy because I had my first ever putt for an eagle (about 40 feet - left it 4 feet short, hit the birdie putt).  Also hit a 270 yard drive (wind assisted, I normally only hit about 220-230 ---- of course, I also had one go only 170).

Stats:

1 birdie

4 pars

10 bogeys

31 putts

2 GIR

5 of 12 FWs

    • 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.
