Sir Scoop-A-Lot

So this week I have decided to put a lot of time into my game and booked a full bag fitting tomorrow (theres another thread on this topic) and I booked in with friends 3 rounds (2 x 9 holes and a 18 hole).
So Monday I play 9 holes and shoot 49, scoring 16 stableford, not bad I thought as its my first round within my handicap this year. I knew I had a problem with my putting so I went to the putting green yesterday and practised.
Today I hit the fairways again. 9 holes at a local course. I had an phenomenal round. I shot 11 over which included a 7 on a par 3 scoring 22 stableford! I was stoked.
This afternoon however is another story. I had a mare on the first 2 holes with an 8 and a no scoring double lost ball. I managed to get into the swing of things and pulled 13 points through the 9 holes. Not amazing but with two blobs on the first two holes and then another horrid par 3 I was satisfied it was coming together.
I hit the back 9 on a bit of buzz feeling that I could make a come back and tear it up. Suffice to say this was not the case and I ended up with only 5 points on the back to give me a total of 18. To say it was an anti climax is an understatement.
I cannot believe I can have 3 completely different rounds in a week!
So now I am in that horrible place where I wish I had stuck to only the 9 holes today. Not good!
