I was having a pretty good round on Thursday, six over on the front, and 1 over on the back through 12 and on my way to my best round of the year if I could finally have a decent back nine on my home course. 13 is a par three that I hit it short of the green, chipped it past the fringe up on the hill, chutted on long and two putted for a double. Seemed like the crappy back nine was on again. But on the next five holes I went par-bogey-birdie-bogey-par for a 39 on the back and ended up with an 80. The double didn't derail the round as it could have, but it kept me from breaking 80. It's coming though.
Today, we played the back nine first and for the second round in a row, I had a good back nine. 39, with three pars to start and two pars to finish the nine, with four straight bogeys in between. On the front I started with three straight pars, a bogey, a par and a bogey. Not bad for this guy, two over through six holes. #7 got me though, after a good drive, I shorted an approach and then put my third short of the bunker in front of the green. Pitched on in four but three putted for a triple. Finished with two bogeys, but the triple is what killed me. Ended up with a 42 on the front nine which gave me an 81.
Jacqui and I are going to try to play tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I can get over that hump. It's getting closer though, only one hole in each of my last two rounds where I scored worse than a bogey.
