78 (41 and 37) on Saturday.  Something clicked on driver, 100% fairways hit from hole 3 to the end.  Great back nine. 3 Bogies and 2 birdies and 4 pars, but one of those bogies included a penalty stroke.

90 yesterday.  83 strokes, plus 7 penalties.  On the plus side, I got to open a new box of balls when I got home......moments of brilliance peppered with periods of just missing my line...again and again and again.......but contact was clean

all over the place

81 Sunday with 3 birdies. 1 put off the green, hit the flag and in. I'm hardly playing this year compared to last year since I couldn't afford a membership this year (my local club has a low first year membership and then it goes up slightly for the second year but jumps big time for 3rd year so I couldn't afford it). I have to wait 4 years to be considered a new member. I've only played 4 rounds and 2 - 9 hole games this year.

Played the tips for the first time since we added about 230 yards of length a few years back. I was playing with a few guys who were qualifying for the club championship, so I teed it back when I am at an age when I should be teeing it forward (I am not championship flight material). Four of the par 4's are unreachable for me, and a few others play way more difficult, especially two of the par-3's. Slope goes from 135 for the regular tees to 140.

46-45-91. Should have been better, as I three-putted four times, and missed some easy putts that would have made for sweet up-and-downs.

Pretty ugly 40 this morning.  Missed two putts around 6' that I should have made hits my lines and speed, just did not read them correctly.  Got off the tee well, and my approach shots were ok.  I really need to focus on paying attention to the wind, selecting the right club based on wind/elevation, and I am not sure I can actually read a green.

A discouraging 45 with back to back triples. Can't figure out putting in the wind. Really not sure how to play in the wind period. One shot rides the wind, the next cuts right through. Seems like for every adjustment the opposite happens.

91 @ Babe Zaharias GC in Tampa.....5306 yds Par 72, 65.1/117

Horrible round.....had been playing fast greens so I had not one, but four par putts stop 1/2 to 1 inch from center of hole.

Shot a 79 on a par 71 today.

Crazy round, 4 putted for a double on a par 4 hole, missed 2 foot for birdie on another, 3 putted from 15 foot for par on a par 5.

Birdied the 17 from the fringe to get me under 80 for only the 2nd time ever.

+6 42, started off slow because i didn't have time to warm up, went +4 in the first 3 holes, went +2 the rest of the way in.

Need to work on alignment, i am standing to close to the ball, and aiming to far right.

After a 16 year lay off and the second year back I'm finally getting my old swing back.  I was away for so long the Club Pro looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked for a sleeve of Titleist  Balata balls.  Shot a 76 on a tight par 67 course.  Started with a triple bogey 8, 3 double bogies but made 4 birds.

Par 71. Shot -1 34 on the front, +6 42 on the back. My best front nine of the year. Shot -1 on the back once this year as well, now if only I could put those two together... I'll shoot 69. That would feel good.

I did a 50/49 = 99  on a 73.9/131 course at 7151 yds. since my driver showed up I played the black tees. I tied my score from the white tees 6 weeks ago! and I only had 40 putts!(7-over last)...ahh I'm happy...It was 98* and I had the course all to myself.

60, with one three-putt and a few nice birdies. Nearly aced two holes. A bit high but it was windy and it was to establish my handicap for the league, so it's okay if it's a bit higher than necessary.

Played here.

Shot 43 this morning and it was fugly.  Could not get off the tee, trying to hit fades with the driver and had hit two pull hooks and a big push that costed me three penalty strokes.  Hit the irons pretty well otherwise.

51 last night. Awful round. 2 Penalty strokes from the tee didn't help either.

Short game was ok, 15 putts, drove the ball alright, but irons...so bad...just...so so bad...

shot a 39 with no birdies missing 3 short par putts. I am talking about 4-5 feet. I would either leave them about .5 inches short or above the hole and hit it through the break. The greens were in awful shape. All the recent rain made them extremely soft and a lot of foot traffic made the balls bobble all over the green :(

its upsetting that I had an opportunity to shoot even par and blew it on 4 footers. You live and you learn i suppose

I got the chance to play a course new to me yesterday called TimberRidge Golf Club it used to be private I guess but it's public now. Long course compared to what I normally play but I seem to shoot right around my normal for 9 holes. The rating for 18 from the tees I played was 70/119 but I only played 9 and shot 42.  Fun day all in all.

    • 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.
