I had it happen in opposite fashion actually, which I think makes it easier. I had like +16 on the front nine. My worst round in years. Everything going wrong. Decided I needed to stay for another nine just to try and figure it out, shot +4 on the second nine. Go figure.

But for me, when I'm playing quite well, I try really hard not to think about the final score, because more often than not, I start shooting worst. Case in point, yesterday, I was +1 through 7 holes, which is a very good start for me. In fact, there was actually a double bogey in there, which I rebounded from with -1 through the next four holes. Then I started thinking about that final score. BAM! Double bogey and bogey to finish out the 9.

So my advice is when you have a great round going, focus on the next shot, and the hole you are on, and not on the potential final score. Hopefully that will then prevent the frustration from ever occurring during those bad holes.
