I don’t understand why golf is so up and down. To be fair these are scores from different courses but I am playing far worse in the bad rounds than the good ones. At least it keeps my handicap high for money matches I guess

I’m a 9. Any day I could shoot at 73 or a 93. Some days you got it and some days you don’t.
Watched US Amateur all weekend. Herrington was insanely good all week. 7 rounds of par or below. Then gets to Sunday and he just couldn’t hit a fairway.
Some days it’s the swing. Most days for me it’s a mental lapse that just compounds.
Also. A big part is who you are playing with…. Play with people that are better than you.
Track some stats and compare good rounds with bad rounds. Obviously you’ll play better or worse, but seeing some stats like Fairways hit and how it correlates with bogeys was a big thing for me
Same, I can’t answer but know it’s the truth!
Your high 102 and low 91 that’s pretty spot on 20 scores
Because the difference between hitting it great and hitting it poorly is so small, small mental and physical differences have a massive impact.
For us amateurs it’s even worse because very few golfers can really feel and understand why they are doing what they are doing as it’s happening. And if they can, they often cannot adjust mid round.
I shot a 74 last Monday and a 96 on Wednesday on the same golf course. I understood why as it was happening, but just couldn’t do anything to stop it. Nearly aced 18 though and made my only birdie of the day, so I’ll be back.
A little tease here-and-there to keep you coming back for more.
I don’t see an up/down here. This is pretty standard distribution of scores. What’s keeping your handicap high is posting 9 hole scores.
The unanswerable question.
But you sort of answered it when you wrote playing far worse in the bad rounds (of course score will be bad if you’re playing bad), than you are in the good rounds (where you play better therefore score better) such a crazy construct. So it seems to me that if you start playing bad in the good rounds and good in the bad rounds, that should balance everything out pretty nicely. Once you’re able to do that your bad rounds should be less worse and good rounds should be less bad. Happy to help and hope that provides significant clarity. 😎
