So I shot a 42 on the front nine and....

I shot a 42 on the front nine and was on my way to shoot in the 80's for the first time since I took up the game after a 25 year hiatus. All I needed was a 47 on the back nine, what do you think happened.....?

Insert sarcasm/story here:

Two weeks ago on the 18th hole I took a 9 on a par 5. I scored a 92. I feel your pain. I was pretty upset with myself. Had to take a drop in wet rough and couldn't chip out of it.

I shoot in the 80's occasionally, usually in the low/mid 90's. The rounds where I shoot in the 80's are rare enough for me to appreciate them (and hate it when I let one slip away).

After the first 9 I jumped on the double bogey train. I coldn't stop the bleeding, I thought I was doing the same as the first 9 but towards the end I realized I had gotten out of sync with my swing. There were variables though, the guys I was playing with stopped after 9 and I drank

a beer during the first nine. I don't usually drink any when I play. It was terrible. I knew I had to stop the double bogeys but just couldn't.
