Honestly Cookie, I think that was the problem. I was playing alone and with no one to talk to, my mind kept going back to numbers. "I only need 5 pars on the back for my career best.." or whatever. I guess usually playing with people there is always a conversation going to take your mind off it.

I hear ya man, I am hoping I learned from it and when in the situation again - I can play better on the back 9. Unfortunately, there is no magic cure that I know of that will stop someone from thinking about it.

I *try* not to look at score at the turn but in this instance I had 8 pars and a birdie so it was impossible not to know where I was...not to mention it was MGA so guys were adding up scores at the turn.
