earlier this year, I shot 44 on the front & was hoping to break 90 for the first time.      FAIL - shot 56 on the back (every single par 5 is one back side) ... I have a tendency to run out of gas about halfway through the back side - I usually just play 9 holes after work, so when I play 18, I have to work on my endurance, so my score don't suffer on the back end.

I shot 51-35 once on a 36-36 par 72 course.  LOL

This was about 10yrs ago when I played to a 7-9hc, and I still remember that round!!  I got a bad case of the shanks on the first nine and it was UGLY.....The most shocking part to me was the shanks were the first part of the round and that I recovered.......usually it's the other way around.  LOL

50 - 36 After the front nine I couldn't believe how badly I'd done -- it was my worst nine in about 9 months. Then I played even par on the back for the first time ever with two bogeys and two birdies. Amazing.

Agreed.  When the course I'm playing is not busy, I'll play 4-5 holes and then swing back around and start over, LOL.

I cannot think of any rounds where my front and back scores were significantly different.  Usually they are within a few strokes, which does not necessarily mean much other than once I am on a certain streak, I tend to stay on that streak through the entire round.

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

18 strokes is crazy!  Seems like other have come in at that range too.  I think my biggest was 51-38, though my favorite to talk about was a 41-33!  Both on 36-36 par 72 courses.

I've had some crazy ones this year when my back would give up on about the 9 to 12th hole. I'm not digging out the scorecards to see just how many strokes it was because it's kind of depressing (I can't remember it being anywhere close to 18 strokes though). It got better as the summer went along and hopefully I can come up with a routine to keep somewhat limber through the offseason. I only played 1 time during 2010 so that didn't help.

    • Shot an 89, 12.2 differential.  
    • There's no such thing as the spirit of the rule. And, you do realize how insanely small the time window and the level of water is for water to come up with one person standing there but not another person, right? It's basically never going to actually happen like that. There are lots of rules like this: a 7' tall person's knee height drop is from higher up than a 4' tall junior's drop. Their driver is also longer, so they get a larger relief area. What are you gonna do? Beyond that, my reply to you is the same as @DaveP043's: write a better one. This one is easy to understand and enforce. The penalty for playing from a wrong place is two strokes, so no, it's not significant. In that sense, the potential advantage must be > 2 strokes. No, it's not "irrespective of it." That's why the penalty exists. If it's significant, it's a DQ, which is the ultimate penalty. See above. They don't need to judge that. No, he didn't. He could have taken one stroke to drop in the same place. This was already stated. Instead, he paid two. Of course they do.
    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".
