Game of two halfs

[HCFC]

Played on Sunday in a friendly 2 ball purely for a bit of practice. Went out for the front 9 hitting a 49 and feeling a little let down by my performance although my best on my front 9 is 45 (35 par). Anyway played the back 9 and managed a 38 , 3 over par! Granted the back 9 is a little easier but with a HC of 20 i was made up. Oh for a bit of consistency!

Just wondered what the biggest difference is in terms of scores (stokeplay) that you have had between the front and back 9?

Should have put halves, oops

Embarrassely 1 over front and 11 over back. I dont know what happened but i wasnt happy.

Last week I went out in 41 (6 over) but came back in 52 (16 over). Must be something to do with our handicaps!!(I am 21)

Yep totally agree, i know that if i could finish the front 9 consistently with a half decent score, 42 - 45 on a more regular basis then my HC would tumble. I play the front 9 on its own very often, usually if i can get away from work on a Friday at a decent time but still can`t seem to master it.

Hmmm ....... Consistency - my impossible dream!!
I take it from your user name you play up in the North East somewhere?

In a medal last year I went out in 60 (par 37) and back in 40 (par 34) for the first ton-up since I got my handicap in '93.
And that was playing off 11.............

I played a stableford and was 2 under par gross after 4 and finished the front 9 at plus one for 23 points and was still two behind a 28 handicapper who'd gone out in plus 3. Sadly I got a nosebleed from such rarified air and came back in 15 points.

Conversely I played another where I struggled to the turn in 43 (+8 gross) and hitting poorly and then played the last six holes in level par to finish 11 over. Its a stupid game!!!

First ever medal a month ago, out in 61, back in 43 - couldn't NR because I scored a 2 on the last hole to get a share of the 2's comp! Fairly low down the leaderboard even off 23 :-(

first card for handicap' went round with the handicap sec and his mate.
I arrived on the 10th tee and was about to tee off when the mate said "you're 6 over (40), keep that up and you'll be off 12."
I promptly went to pieces and shot 63 on the back.
