My last 3 rounds I shot 40s on front 9 and 50s on back 9

Should I just become a 9-hole specialist?

playing a ton of 9 hole rounds is a great way to build a handicap you don't actually play to. it's much easier to burst energy a good 9-hole score vs. putting it together for a full 18.

cr. I have no idea how that shit works. I do know I have a bunch of low 9 hole rounds that I am pretty sure are pushing down my handicap and it fucks me over in 18 hole games.

on a related note, this happened this morning. The standing closer to the ball thing you mentioned in the snap hook thread is actually helping.

What happened on 8? Penalty on the tee shot or take 2 from the bunker or something?

I start early extending like a mofo and skulling every other shot

Mentally it definitely feels more tedious, like is this really how I should be spending my time. The time waiting to hit builds up and I'm wondering where is the cart girl

Also my phone is usually blowing up around then from ignoring calls all morning

turn off the phone. develop a consistent pre-shot routine that focuses as much on clearing the mind as on shot mechanica.

Ty I will try this

Also have a hunch that walking the course (ie not sharing a golf cart with someone) will help mentally

I've barely broken a sweat by the end so that can't be an excuse. When I'm done 18 it always feels like I could run it back again no problem

Same here. If I can get through the first four holes at +2, I'm happy and know I have a shot to post something in the 72-76 range.

same. my local starts with a par 5 and at one point i'd tee off with a 5 iron and simply play for par, to get going.

don't CA rounds take like 5 hours on avg? you're probably just tired and bored by the end of it.

Nah.. it's much worse than that on weekends at the cheapest munis

Thankfully I can avoid peak times and have not played a >5 hour round since January

I'm usually better on the back, largely because I'll sort of figure out what my ball is doing that day or make some small adjustments.

I have had a few rounds this year where I had a great start and then fucked it up on the back. Probably a bit of a psychological thing where I feel pressure to break 80 or post a good score.

Choked on the back again Saturday.

39 on the front (+3), par on 10, birdie on 11 after driving it just through the green on short par 4.

+2 through 11.

Ended up with an 81 (39-42) playing the last 7 holes at +7 after a triple on 12 and double on 18.

don't think about your score (i.e. - if I can just par out these last few I'll shoot 73 or whatever). easier said than done.

A lot of it is mental and allowing yourself to believe you can shoot a certain number. A few years ago I was -6 through 12 in a tournament and ended up shooting even par 72. Doh!
