Best 9 and worst 9 in the same round

What is your biggest difference in score between outward & back nines? I bet there are some crackers. To start us off here is mine from the medal last weekend;

Out: 52 (17 over)

Back: 38 (3 over)

Handicap of 20.5 so I guess this is constitutes a 'normal' round for me.......

Was playing a new course after swing changes and shot a 59 on the front and then get it together and shot a 42 on the back. Didn't get to warm up before the round so was struggling hard on the front.

I think one of my final rounds last season I went 49-37.

Just checked my Fairway files. Front nine 51, back 40

I did 50-38 once.

Last year at a course I never played and no warm-up.  55 front, 37 back for a 92 on a 36-36 par course. 6 pars, 1 birdie, 2 bogeys on the back.

Hmmm. Difference of 17. You are the new leader!

Mine isn't quite front 9-back 9, it is front 8 back 10.

I was playing my normal Monday morning game with my friend Jim, and had just bought some yellow Srixon balls that I decided to use. On this day I started with 4 bogeys and 4 double-bogeys. I can't remember the last time I was 12 over after 8 holes.  Anyway, on the ninth hole I changed back to my Pro V1 white ball, and for the next ten holes I shot even par with an eagle (105 yards with a pitching wedge), a birdie, 3 bogies and 5 pars.

12 over par for the first 8 holes and even par for the last 10. I finished with an 83 on a par 71 course. Amazing.

I have had many rounds with with separate 9 holes scores that look like they were played by two different people.  Two rounds that stand out in memory are when I started with a 39 on the front and unraveled for a 59 on the back nine.  Another time I did the opposite and started with a 58 and managed to pull it together for a 38 on the back nine.  I guess it is a testament to my lack of consistency and the state of my mental game.

20 Handicappers shooting 9 holes < 40??

Is this common? I play off 18 and don't even think I've had a 42 yet?

52 front and 38 back.  The crazy thing was I had three birdies and an eagle on the day.

I've done something like front nine 38 back nine 45 before. Usually I'm with in a few strokes between nines.

When I was a teenager I shot a 51 followed by a 37.

Somewhat related, when I tried out for my high school team, I shot a +8 on the first hole, then +9 on the following 53 holes.

Golf was all mental for me back in the day...

Somewhat related, do you have any affiliation with the pangloss in candide?

At least in the metaphysico-theologico-cosmo-nigologistic sense.
