Just returned from another trip to Scottsdale and I'm beginning to get a feel for golf in the area.

This trip I played:

Boulders North - very nicely conditioned course.  Greens are tricky and had me confused and frustrated all day.  Not as scenic or mountainous as I was hoping for.  The South course has the great scenery. Had the best conditioning and landscaping of the three courses.  Paid $110 which was the right amount.  Probably not worth the $200 rack rates.

Las Sendas - Nice track that has some nice holes bordering the foothills.  Course was in great shape and a great experience.  Had a few poorly marked/blind tee shots that ended up causing some frustration.  Paid $75 which was a great value.  Give this course a look.

Whirlwind - Devils Claw: This course is on the south side of town, on a very flat piece of property.  Fairways are very wide and forgiving.  Very nice course, but without elevation changes or the fancy landscaping of the resorts, the holes seem to blend together and lacks the WOW factor.  That being said, it was challenging and worth a look.  Paid $95.

Mountain Shadows: Fun executive course in Paradise valley.  Perfect to take the wife to, and challenging.  $25 is a bargain.

Didn't get to Legend Trail or Dove Mountain this week.  Perhaps next time.

What's in my bag:

Driver: Tour Burner 9.5
Fairway: Comp 15* Aldila NVS
Hybrids: 19* & 22*Irons: CG2 4-PWWedges: CG12 52*, 56*Putter: Studio Design Newport 1.5Ball: One BlackBag: GPS: SG3

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      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.
