Golf bros anyone consistently score worse on back 9?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 27th, 2025 5:29 PM Author: Stirring sneaky criminal principal's office My last 3 rounds I shot 40s on front 9 and 50s on back 9
Should I just become a 9-hole specialist? |

Date: August 28th, 2025 10:22 AM Author: exciting primrose locale corn cake 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.

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.

Date: August 27th, 2025 5:38 PM Author: Stirring sneaky criminal principal's office 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 |

Date: August 28th, 2025 10:15 AM Author: motley site turn off the phone. develop a consistent pre-shot routine that focuses as much on clearing the mind as on shot mechanica. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2Elisa#49218903) |

Date: August 28th, 2025 4:13 PM Author: Stirring sneaky criminal principal's office Ty I will try this
Also have a hunch that walking the course (ie not sharing a golf cart with someone) will help mentally |

Date: September 11th, 2025 3:46 PM Author: creampie guy 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2Elisa#49256682) |

Date: August 28th, 2025 4:11 PM Author: Stirring sneaky criminal principal's office 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 |
|
Date: August 28th, 2025 11:27 AM Author: Sickened Flickering Shitlib Fat Ankles 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. |

Date: September 1st, 2025 5:26 PM Author: Sickened Flickering Shitlib Fat Ankles 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. |

Date: September 2nd, 2025 10:13 AM Author: exciting primrose locale corn cake 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2Elisa#49230519) |

Date: September 11th, 2025 3:48 PM Author: creampie guy 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! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2Elisa#49256693) |
