My mental game is SHOT!!!
Here are my last 4 rounds-
37-44
36-49
39-41
38-45

This is on 3 different courses, so it's not that the front sides are easier.

I seem to have started to loose it after 9. Any clues?

Forget about the front after your done and try to play your best ball on the back.

Take a week off. This happens to athletes all the time. Particularly runners, but anybody who trains with their bodies. I think you might be doing something equivalent to "overtraining."

So take some time off before you go completely Charles Barkley on the course.

Easiest solution would be to play 9 and go home and be happy.

Are you sure it's mental and not getting tired after the front 9? If it is mental, are you losing focus or are you trying too hard on the back 9 to equal or better your front 9?

No one on here can help you unless more details are given on what is causing the score differential.

Don't think about front nine and back nine. It is one course, 18 holes. You're not done until the last putt drops on the 18th.

Any chance you may just be running out of gas? I live in SE Asia and play in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia - needless to say it gets pretty damn hot. During most games, I'll go through at least a couple of litres of water plus some snacks. If you don't hydrate and snack along the way you may not feel it physically, until it's too late and then it just feels like you've got no more wind in your sails!

I'd go along with this.

You are a much better golfer than I, so don't take it the wrong way, but I have always struggled over the back 9, hitting between 9-13 more shots than on the front, so I experimented and started at the 10th a few times......and still shot more on the "back" nine! Could be just a bit of tiredness and the mental watershed of the 9th hole, moving on to ANOTHER 9 could be doing it....play the course from the 1oth and see what happens

I don't think it's physical. I am in good shape. I think I start "protecting" my front side score, instead of keeping the momentum.

i play on the golf team at my highschool, i noticed that it helps if i think of one shot at a time and dont think of what could go wrong, if you hit a bad shot you can always hit it again

I understand you may be in good shape, but tiredness and hunger can manifest itself in different ways.

I'm not saying by not eating and drinking throughout the round you're going to keel over from exhaustion. What I am trying to say is that if there's no fuel in the tank, the mind is the first thing that gets affected which may impair your judgement and/or co-ordination. If you're playing golf which does require a good deal of concentration, then a tired mind is not going to be as effective.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
