First five holes on the back were: Double, Bogey, Double, Double, Bogey! So I'm 8 over after 5! I was swinging too hard.
...Thanks for reading. Keep playing. Swing easy.
i could have written these exact words after my round yesterday. i've been striking the ball as good as ever recently. played a private course with a friend that i haven't played in a couple of years. playing from tees that give me 2 strokes over my HC. 71.2/132 playing 6400
temps were in the mid 90s and it was more than apparent halfway through the round i was drained (we were walking and drinking). it was also apparent i was swinging WAY too hard as the round went on and you can guess the results.
hole 1: birdie par 5 after missing fairway, drain 25' bender downhill. didn't take a single practice putt before the round and had no idea how fast the greens were running.

3 putt double on par 5
hole 4: miss green on 160 par 3 over water, chip over trap, two putt bogie

hole 8: drive in trees, punch greenside, chip on,
3 putt double
hole 9: yank drive hard left, get god kick to middle of the fairway 185 out with greenside pond on left. leave hybrid short, putt on and leave it 7 feet out, 2 putt bogie
hole 10: find fairway but snookered behind trees, fade 7i to just short, up and make 15' putt for par
