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.

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

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.
