Broke 90 in the worst possible way...

[lhshurdl3r]

+3(39) out
+13(48) in

87, par 71. Really? Felt great thru 11 holes, as I was still +3... then a bad tee shot on 12 (short, 90º right par 4) and a tree branch knocking down my 2nd shot started a string of weird holes. Par on the next par 3, and playing safe on the next short Par 5 killed me... Drove left of the fairway, layed up with a PW to about 105yds in the middle of the fairway. Hit a crisp sandwedge to the green... well uh, just happened to be a perfectly struck shot -- that went 110yds. Took a big bounce about 20yds behind the green. Bogey. And took an 8 on the next... with a 6 on the next par 3. Awful.


Ever have that kind of up and down round? The front 9 was great, 2 birdies (missed a 2ft birdie!) and a few pars. Just a double bogey that shouldn't have happened.

We've all had them. Sergio had quite an adventure in Louisiana on Thursday. Congratlations on breaking 90. An 87 sure feels a lot better than an 89 for the first time.

I had a round where i shot -3 33 on the front and +9 44 on the back. But hey, i still broke 80. lol.

It was my first sub-90 round of the year, I've had quite a few in the past... just never going out that low lol Maybe next time my 9's will be a little more even

Been there, done that, hurdl3r!

The best are when you go 39-50 -- the coveted 80s round without a nine in the 40s!

Dude, I've gone 38-53, so I know what's that's like. You just lose your swing, go on tilt and all of a sudden you're done. For me, it's the mental game. I know I'm good enough to put up scores, but as soon as I see that 38 on the front, I get freaked out and it takes a lot of concentration and the right environment for me to relax enough to have a decent back nine.

BTW, I hate when you're at that distance where you need a solid SW to the green. Hit it a little thin and you're screwed. A little fat and you're screwed. For whatever reason, it's kind of a tough shot. And the worst part is, the shot always comes after a great drive, so you ruin a perfect shot.

I saw a guy at a high school meet go 31 then 45 so I'm sure other people have felt your pain.
