Day 34: 3/29/2024

So, I forgot to post yesterday. 
Today was a mirror day. First putting mirror. I used the 50mm gate a lot and the perfect putt. 
Then the big basement mirrors. Backswing work. Most of it without a club. But I also got some use out of the piece of pvc and the club across the shoulders. I finished with a 7 iron. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 86 - Played 18 on an indoor sim. Had some hook issues, but changing my driver grip seemed to fix that. I feel good knowing I have a fix if this pops up on the course.

Day 15. More of the same practice as yesterday but slightly more success trying to incorporate the above. Slow progress is still progress! 
 

I also used premium golf balls with my skytrak for the first time and boy what a difference it made.

Day 108 (30 Mar 24) - Niece and hubby and family are in town for the weekend, so he and I partnered up for an early morning 18 at the local course.  His first time back on the course since Labor Day so it was more of a knock some serious rust off round for him.  I had a decent start - birdie on the first...followed by a horrible quad bogie on the second.  Still the overall score for the round was decent for where I normally score.  Course management "of my head" kept me from going south after the second and saw the results with some really good wedge work into the greens with the putter delivering solid rolls if not in the cup, delivering tap ins.

      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?
