I once shot a 32 on the front and 47 on the back.. i never wanted to play golf again after that round.

I can feel the same ...

I almost give up on the 1st nine when i shot 48. So far it was the worst round for this year !

I don't know what my biggest gap between 9's is, I think somewhere between 10-12 strokes. I do know my biggest gap between back to back rounds. This year in my CC I shot 92 on Sat and 76 Sun...what a great game!!

cool topic...

A few years ago I went 46 on the front and 31 on the back (15 stroke difference). I had a chance for 29 on that side if I birdied the short par 4 #17, but instead I bogeyed it and parred 18. I got out all my frustration on the front side and just had a blast on the back. I would have a hard time sleeping that night if those nines were reversed.

My last tournament, it was 9, 37 +3, 28 -4 and I bogied the 10th lol! Don't know what happened, the ball just started going in the hole. Was hitting the ball the same, there was no apparition after 10 or anything.

All I can attest to is this year.... there was probably something more in past years , but I don't make a habit of recording such things. A couple of months ago I played one round where I was -3 on the front 9 and +7 on the back for a 10 stroke differential. I was actually still -3 through 11, then played bogey golf for the last 7 holes.

That 76 was still my low round of the year though.

At Malibu Country Club, I had a 55 on the front, and after grabbing two hot dogs at the turn and eating them in about 90 seconds (I was really hungry that day) I then shot a 35 on the back. That was 15 years ago, and even today one of my friends still talks about the "magic hot dogs" at Malibu.

39 and 51 on the back. Which sucked because I birdied 10 and then the wheels came off. The back 9 on that course is easy, 3 par 3's, two very short par 4's and the par 5's are wide open. Anywhere there was a possibility of a penalty I found it, on some holes twice. It was a  total mental breakdown. I remember standing on the 18 tee thinking if I par it I'll be okay. I hit two OB on the way to a quad.

this past weekend, I shot a 41 on the front.  Didn't feel like I was really killing it, but did hit probably 3 or 4 12-16ft putts and another 3-4 approaches/chips to within one putt distance.  Then I went out and shot a 54 on the back to complete my highest scoring round of golf in a long long time.  I was horrified.  I haven't played since and I'm worried about how I'm going to respond.  We're supposed to have a lot of rain this weekend so I'm not sure I'll get to play.

I was an 8'ish HC back in 2000 playing a par 36-36=72 course and scored 50-35.  I had the worst case of "Tin Cup" shanks on the outward nine imaginable...................no shanks on the 2nd nine. LOL

    • I am in the same boat, I just don't remember this kind of stuff. It's an interesting topic though. I look forward to reading other responses. 
    • Yea that’s a positional shot. Otherwise it’s considered an approach shot and you would have missed the pin short by 90’.
    • Question for the group regarding positional shots.  I had one in my last round where I had 286yds remaining into a long par 5. I don't have a club that can reach that, but I still was able to hit 3 wood and advanced it 260yds leaving myself just under 30yds to the pin.  Is that considered a positional shot? I wasn't "going for it" because I had no chance of reaching it, but I wasn't necessarily trying to leave myself a certain yardage or get back in play or anything. (Btw I then hit the pitch shot to 3 feet and holed it for birdie on a 575yd par 5 and gained 1.19 strokes compared to scratch and 0.79 vs a Tour Player on that hole alone)     Also something else I find surprising is that for my tee shot on that hole, which was actually with a 3 wood due to where water pinches in, went 286yds (sloped fairway got me some extra roll beyond my normal 260 range) and just trickled about a foot or so into the left rough and per strokes gained I lost 0.02 strokes on that compared to scratch. I get that strokes gained doesn't distinguish how far in the rough it goes, but I was still a bit surprised that hitting it 286 in the rough is considered worse than average off the tee for a scratch player.  I was curious so I moved that tee shot into the fairway, then it says I gained 0.10 strokes compared to scratch. The 3 footer I made for birdie on the same hole gained 0.14 strokes compared to scratch. Moving it around a bit more, 290yd tee shot in the fairway is 0.10 strokes gained but 294yds is 0.21 strokes gained? I don't get how an extra 1% or 12 feet more on a 290yd drive makes 0.11 difference in strokes gained. I thought I understood strokes gained pretty well but that seems a bit odd to me that a 286-290yd drive in the fairway isn't as "above average" for a scratch player as holing a 3 footer is.    Edit - Did a bit more poking around and am even more confused. A 247yd tee shot in the fairway gained me 0.05 strokes but 286 in the rough loses 0.02? 40yds further ahead but in the rough cost me almost a full tenth of a stroke? That doesn't feel right (or I don't understand strokes gained as well as I thought I did)

    • I don't remember a ton of favorite putts (maybe I need to make more) but here's two that I do remember.  18th at Kyber Run  We had been playing a 4v4 Scramble for $25 a guy and it had been absolutely pouring the entire day. Talking like 4+ hours of non-stop rain, but we had this money match planned for a while and the course was happy to take our greens fees. The foursome we were playing against was the group in front of us and they just finished and were watching us come up 18 from under a pavilion out of the rain. We thought we had a 1 stroke lead going into 18, but they had birdied 17 to tie things up. They parred 18. So they knew we were tied as we played 18. We had about a 35 footer straight up the hill for birdie and by this point water is starting to pool up on the green. I'm the last person to putt in the group, step up and hit it about as twice as hard as I normally would from that distance, water is spraying up behind the ball as it's rolling, ended up being perfect speed and drops in for a birdie, giving us the win and not realizing why they were so shocked about the putt until we realized that it was for the win.   12th at Talamore We had been playing 2v2 best ball and our opponents hadn't been playing great as we had a 3up lead through 8 mainly due to their mistakes rather than our great play. I went on a bit of a heater, holing a 10 footer on 9 for par to win the hole, birdied 10 after hitting a wedge to 12 feet and pouring that in, birdied the par 5 11th after hitting my 3rd shot to 4 feet to put us 6up with 7 to go. Par 4 12th, pin is front left and I am on the green back right after hitting a great punch slice recovery shot from the right trees. I had 50 feet left for birdie and was just trying to lag it close, it ended up going in the hole and I walked it in for my 3rd straight birdie and ended the match right there as my two opponents just shook their heads and my teammate was cracking up with laughter.
