Golf bros anyone consistently score worse on back 9?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 27th, 2025 5:29 PM Author: Lavender Famous Landscape Painting Chad 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: Magical Box Office Hissy Fit 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.

Date: August 27th, 2025 5:38 PM Author: Lavender Famous Landscape Painting Chad 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 4:13 PM Author: Lavender Famous Landscape Painting Chad 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: August 27th, 2025 5:41 PM Author: Lavender Famous Landscape Painting Chad 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 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2...id#49217412) |

Date: August 28th, 2025 10:17 AM Author: Magical Box Office Hissy Fit don't CA rounds take like 5 hours on avg? you're probably just tired and bored by the end of it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5766867&forum_id=2...id#49218907) |

Date: August 28th, 2025 4:11 PM Author: Lavender Famous Landscape Painting Chad 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: Laughsome Chapel 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: Laughsome Chapel 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: Magical Box Office Hissy Fit 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=2...id#49230519) |
