One
Name the lie that is lying
Buried, packed, or lip. We do not mix those in the first ten balls. Mixing them produces a story, not a window. You point at the miss you actually take to the first tee at Oshman.
The sequence
Exit loft is not the number on the sole
A stamped 56 is a claim. Wet Gulf sand is the argument. We run a fixed sequence so the sheet is comparable from one Corpus golfer to the next — not a free-form lesson with a rake in the corner.
Two
Splash height against a painted lip
Marisol marks a grease pencil line on the lip wall. If the ball never crosses it, the loft did not exit. We do not “open the face” as a first move; that hides a stamped loft that already failed.
Three
Swap loft, keep the sand
Same tray, same water content, a different loft. If sixty clears and fifty-six does not, the window is written. If both bury, the conversation moves to how you enter the sand — still loft, still this room, still not a grind lecture.
“They made me hit the same packed tray with three lofts before anyone mentioned bounce. The 56 never cleared. The 60 did. That was more honest than a fitting I did in Dallas with a pretty chart.” Darnell Voss · Corpus Christi
What gets written on the sheet
- Stamped loft versus observed exit loft on each tray
- Splash height relative to the lip, not a launch-angle fantasy
- Whether the packed crust turned the shot into a flyer
- Leave speed on the collar after the honest splash
- A single next club to try — not a shopping list
