Played 18 today, 41 on Front 9, 52 on Back. Carded 93. I was hopeful to reach the 80’s today but things went awry. I walked the course so I think fatigue was affecting play, I don’t know. Anyhow, the front 9 was crispy contact, hitting Fairways with old Adam’s Driver and Hybrids hammered the ball. Felt like I was on a roll. I am pretty confident with my clubs and S&T. Any thoughts to keep up energy on Back 9? I have, however, shot a 41 on the Back 9 before. The mystery remains. I am dealing with very narrow Fairways most holes and the picture is an exception.
@Patrick Anlauf - Your near-term "Vision88" goal was definitely in play!! Excellent tips from fellow members here regarding maintaining mental and physical focus. With regard to the latter, go to a Tour event and you'll see many players snacking on something every few holes. You can probably do some research on this to get some good ideas.
Also, do you keep a reliable "default swing" in your back pocket that you can summon up mid-round in order to keep you in play when you sense that you are leaking oil? It could be 2.8, Flying Wedge, 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight, or some unique personal concoction that can prevent the blow-up holes when you're trying to post a score.
