One of my playing partners, off 24 handicap yesterday, scored 42 on the front 9 (with a 9 on a par 5) and followed up with a solid 58 on the back 9.

Any of you done similar?

Played my first links course Friday. Shot 77 a new pb. The very next day was -1 after 9 holes. Thought I had finally cracked it. Dropped 13 shots on the back 9 to bring me back to reality!

Do this fairly regularly but always the other way round. Seem to have a habit of going out in 44 or worse (36) and then framing myself and coming back in as low as 35 (34). If only we had a range :D

I had an almost game of two halves. I'm a 19 handicapper and I went out with a midweek group last week and I was stood on the 12th tee with 29 points including two gross birdies and a blob. I then limped home to finish with 40 points. Not going to complain but a shame to collapse like that. I think it was a bit of nerves and disbelief that caused the collapse.

Sweet, thats a problem I would like to have... Did you still ask yourself when you got in bed what you could have done better?

I played Clevedon GC last sunday. Was 5 over for 12 holes and then proceeded to double bogey the last 6 holes :(

always in comps, crap front great back usually.

Although in the KOK at Ealing I had a pretty decent 8 holes then went belly up after the not quite halfway hut, the sausage bap cost me dearly!

Seems to be happening more lately. The other day I was +2 gross through 10, played the last 8 in +10. PPs were really questioning the 16 handicap for a while there.
