Sages Golf

@wischlist I wish everyone would just give him a couple weeks to decompress and evaluate what to do! Chill everyone!

It is notable that Bill did not say that he's not retiring.

@wischlist Better yet, how they defended the banana cut! Don’t guard the inbounder!!

What a fabulous play drawn up by McCollum — and execution by the players.

@LokkeHeiss @wischlist Yep….the blue bloods are only blue if they will pay! Have to admit what Pitino is doing at St John’s at 73 is amazing! Still coaching with such passion!

@wischlist @SagesGolf That’s part of the process I’m talking about… way harder to sell the program, when at some point, they say, show me the money!

I wonder how much longer Bill Self coaches. Game seems to have passed him by a bit and his health isn’t great. Darryn Peterson probably aged him by five years this season too.

@wischlist Can’t argue with those stats…definitely not Self like!

@SagesGolf He hasn’t advanced past the Round of 32 for the past three years and is 21-17 in the Big 12 the past two seasons, finishing 5th and 6th in the league after 20 years of never finishing lower than 3rd.

@wischlist @JonesAngell I hope Hubert gets another year….However, wouldn’t be surprised if he is let go!

Tomorrow’s scheduled season finale of the “Hubert Davis Live!” radio show has been postponed. We will communicate any future scheduling updates.

@wischlist @buffys 🤣🤣

@buffys Communitie, I assume?

I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO COLLAGE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@ibcacoaches In that meeting, could we ask coaches to return to attire like this!! 👊👊

Our IBCA All-State Reps are meeting in Champaign today and tomorrow to vote on our Boys All-State Teams!

@mikeclarkpreps You are correct! If my 59yo memory serves me correctly, the championship games were also played in the evening after playing the semifinals in the morning!

It’s kind of wild to see all the complaints about playing the third-place games a few hours after the semis when this was the original format that existed literally for decades.

@hoijim Manual will be tough to beat!! Kids can speed up the game and play fast..and, they can be patient in the half court! Very impressive!

Peoria Manual 62 Tolono Unity 57- Rams advance to 2A Title Game

- Stayed at the same school 4 years - Went from averaging 2 PPG as a freshman to 22 PPG as a senior - 25 20+ point games this year A rarity in college basketball nowadays, legend

@KnuppelRodney Love to hear your proposed layout for the games?

Poor kids have to play in front of a mostly empty State Farm Center in a third place just hours after losing a game. Make it make sense. #IHSA

@wischlist Just like football should be played outside!!

@wischlist Why do people think the product itself is not enough!!! Basketball should be played on a wood floor!!

I could provide that feedback from TV.

Not a Michigan fan…However, hats off to @bigten Champions by 4 games!!! Wow! That program was in shambles! Remarkable what Dusty May has done in 2 seasons!! @umichbball

@wischlist Of course he did….a “slap on the wrist”, will never change behavior!

He should switch to soccer.

I ran a poll asking what the most important factor in a junior golfer’s development is. I was shocked that everybody didn’t pick Parenting. Because after 25 years in competitive golf, having 3 kids of my own play D1 golf, coaching at Duke and Ohio State, and working with hundreds of junior golf families, here’s what I’ve observed, researched and learned: How you parent is the single biggest factor in your child’s junior golf success. Almost nobody shows parents how to do this well. I’m on a mission to change that. So, here are the 10 most important factors in elite golf parenting. From my chapter on Parenting in Becoming Elite: 1.Create a Safe Environment. Your home must be a safe harbor, not a pressure cooker. Your love is unconditional and separate from their golf score. Same affection after an 85 as after a 65. If your mood changes with their scorecard, you are creating a toxic environment that destroys their love for the game. And eventually your relationship. 2.The Car Ride Home. This is where most parents blow it. The car ride home is a sanctuary. A no golf talk zone. Enforce the 48 Hour Rule. Let them decompress, listen to music, stare out the window. The post round autopsy is one of the most damaging things a parent can do. 3.Body Language. Your kids are reading you on every single shot. Every. Single. Shot. A fist pump after a birdie tells them birdies are what matter. Slumped shoulders after a bogey tells them you’re disappointed. Your expression must be the same after a birdie as after a double bogey. Calm, positive, steady. You are the emotional thermostat. 4.Communication. The most important words when they come off the 18th green: I love to watch you play. Not “what did you shoot.” Not “what happened on 12.” After 48 hours, ask open ended questions. How do you feel about your round? What were you most proud of? What do you want to work on? You are a facilitator, not a judge. 5.Creating Ownership. A player led journey is sustainable. A parent led journey leads to burnout. If you are more invested than they are, that is a red flag. Motivation must come from within. Great parents ask questions instead of giving answers. The player who owns their development keeps improving long after the lessons end. 6. Giving them Freedom. Be a lighthouse, not a tugboat. At tournaments, stay at least 50 yards away. Do not walk the fairway with them or stand behind every green. Give them space to breathe and compete. Do not talk to them during the round unless they initiate. They are in their performance bubble. Do not burst it. 7.Allowing Them to Fail. Failure is not the enemy. It is a prerequisite to growth. Your child is more resilient than you think. They can handle failure and disappointment. They need you to believe in them and let them learn, not protect them from every setback. Removing the opportunity to fail is the real enemy. 8.Staying in Your Lane. You are the parent. Not the coach. Not the caddy. Not the swing analyst. These roles do not mix. Constantly offering swing advice creates a toxic triangle of confusion. Hire a professional. Trust them. Stay out of the way. Your job is love and support. Period. 9.Building an Identity Beyond Golf. If your child’s entire sense of self worth is tied to their golf score, you are setting them up for misery. They are a person who plays golf, not the other way around. Encourage other interests. Protect their social life. Let them go to school dances. Family vacations and time with siblings are sacred. A one dimensional identity is one of the three ingredients that causes burnout. 10.Playing the Long Game. This is a 10 year journey, not a 10 tournament sprint. You are not in a race to be the best 12 year old golfer. You are on a patient journey to see how good they can be at 18, at 22, and beyond. Slow down. The car rides, the early morning tee times, the post round ice cream. These are the moments you will remember. Savor them.
