Breaking 80. My PB is 73 but that was many moons ago when I was playing and practicing a lot more. And there was very little in the way of physical limitation that I have now. I don't know if I can scare that now.
Now, when I've had a good first 9, I know it's a possibility but it doesn't really settle in until 14 or 15, if I've played the first 4 or 5 holes of the back pretty well. Then, the stinking thinking sneaks into my head. My low round in the last 5 years is a 77. I bogeyed 14, 15, 16 and 17 that day thinking about what I could shoot rather than playing golf on each hole. Thankfully, I putted decently those 4 holes and had a little cushion from the front.
