On Saturday, I shot my personal best, 86. On Sunday, I had a 4some scheduled for 9:30, but got to the course early to try and sneak in a round, first one on the course teeing for at 7am, but I ended up pairing up with another guy for company. Because of the pair, that round took longer, and I ended up having to stop after the 14th hole. I was playing really well, and avoided ANY blowup holes until that point, which was a first. I was at 69 through 14 holes. The final 4 holes were all par 4's, and easily bogeyable the way i was playing.

Fast forward to 9:30am round. I par the first two holes. How great, Continuing my hot streak.... Then at the 4th hole the wheels came undone. 2 in the woods off the tee... I ended up with a 107 (in reality this was higher this was just my ESC) when all was said and done. with ESC I got 8's on 6 holes (most on the back 9) I had a 47 on the front. . On most of the other holes that I didn't butcher I ended up mostly with some pars and bogeys. I think I ended up getting hungry for lunch and it caused me to fatigue, because I typically don't play in 4somes so the round took longer than expected. Plus once I knew

Funny though big of change youc an have between two rounds within the same day!!!


Dang you must really be a golf addict or have plenty of energy to try and get in a round under 2 1/2 hrs then tee off again.I couldnt play well unless I know for sure I can get the whole 18 in.Im not the 9 hole type just because of what happened to you.You just know that when you only play nine that your gonna do well and wonder what could have been if I played 18.

Me too. I only care about 18 holes. I'll even golf in the dark to finish a round.

No Chance I could only do 9 holes. Especially since the Front 9 is actually the easier of the two, so there is always the hope of putting together a great round. I am pretty addicted, lol, it's actually bad now. Even 36 holes for me isn't really enough. I typically play alone which is why I can get through the rounds so quickly, although more recently I've been asking my club to pair me with people, so I end up playing less holes, but I've found it helps me focus a bit more, since it slows me down. I have a very hard time pacing myself when I play alone,

Just a heads up Dan, Don't type within the quote box.  It malforms the post.  Look at the above, it looks like everything YOU wrote was actually written by Duff.

No biggie, we've all done it at one time or another.

And welcome to the board!

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • My rule of thumb for anything inside a 100 yards is my PW.  Of course, my SW and LW come into the picture when I need to loft it more and especially when I have little green to work with.
    • let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me. 
    • Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.
    • If they have the same handicap it doesn't matter what you take 35% and 15% of. If you have two low handicaps, averaging them is generally unwise as I said in my first response: a scratch and an 18 would get 9 strokes, which is silly given that one of the players is scratch.
    • Thank you iacas! Interesting take on 35% on Lower Hdcp and 15% on higher Hdcp. Two questions. Why did you choose 35% & 15%? What would I do with tied Hdcp? Right now I'm just adding the two Hdcp. and dividing by 2. We have just 2 golfers with a low Hdcp. The other 10 golfers are very similar. With what I'm doing now, the highest Hdcp. difference, in a match, is 8 once and 7 twice, Again, Thank you very much!
