Played a round this morning with my dad, He gets 8 shots and hes having one of those rounds hes playing much better then his handicap, and I wasn't quite on my game to start with. It went like this:

Hole 1 - 1 down
Hole 2 - 1 down
Hole 3 - 2 down
Hole 4 - 3 down
Hole 5 - 4 down
Hole 6 - 4 down
Hole 7 - 4 down
Hole 8 - 5 down
Hole 9 - 5 down
Hole 10 - 4 down
Hole 11 - 5 down
Hole 12 - 4 down
Hole 13 - 3 down
Hole 14 - 2 down
Hole 15 - 2 down
Hole 16 - 2 down
Hole 17 - 1 down
Hole 18 - A/S

For me not to lose that match was amazing the look on my dads face afterwards was priceless, 5 down halfway through I had just about given up but that kinda made me forget about the match and just play golf.
Any others come back from a long way behind?
 
In my very first KO match I was 5 down with 5 to play against a 4 HC - I won on the first extra hole
 
4bbb match we were 5 down with 6 to play, I hadn't hit a single decent shot. Playing 4th (started back 9) i hit a great approach and it just flowed from there. Got to all square up 9 and then the first extra hole was the par 5, 10th I was just off the back for two and chipped a delightful ball in for an eagle - they were absolutely gutted !!
