Oh man did I have the same thing happen to me on Saturday. I could not hit that stupid ball to save my life. My body was tired and I had no control over it. My swing was just totally falling apart. Golf is a game of patience; patience and swear words; patience, swear words and then a large vocabulary of swear words. And then there is that one shot. The one shot that reminds you why you play. Or, at least it does for me.

I played my worst round of golf this year this Saturday. Lord it was awful. I did nothing right. I had a 4 putt and hit 2 greens. Bad.

It's all relative in golf. When you get to that point - you'll have a new threshold and so it goes. I played with my brother one day and he was in a foul mood by the time we finished. I shot well over a hundred and didn't care because I had a few very good shots. He was ranting about shooting a 76 because he had a couple very bad shots.
Your'e right diane hey last year I broke 100 3 times, this year it was 12 so I'm getting to that new threshold, the last time out for the year (11/8) I was remarking to my girlfriend about how I get annoyed when I get a 7 on a hole maybe next year I'll be upset when I have a 6 on a hole (not really) LOL.

I mean seriously though if you would have seen me hitting the ball you would have thought I have never played the game before. I mean EVER!
Definitely been there. Worst one in memory was in the Club Championship in 1991. 72 holes, stroke play. 10 handicap. 1st round. Took a 12 on the par 5 6th hole, and a 10 on the par 4 7th. Count 'em.... that's 13 over on 2 holes, and I was already 3 over getting to the 6th tee. I shot 104 that day (22 over my handicap), but I played myself out of the tournament in the first 7 holes.

2nd round shot 88 - still not too good. The next weekend in rounds 3 and 4 I shot 74-78, but by then it was only enough to salvage a little pride.

I too have been there, and done that. Problem is no matter how poorly a person plays, eventually that person will play even worse than their last poor round.

Default The worst round of golf I have ever played...
Today was probably the worst round of golf I have ever played. I couldn't hit the ball and when I did it was horrible. I mean truly embarrassing. Have any of you ever had a day where you just could not do anything right? The highlight of my round was a only 3 putted twice. Other than that I shot a 96 and was down right embarrassed to turn in my score.

Yep, it happens. Don't worry about it, it's just golf.

Me too MO. It happens to all of us. Anybody that says it doesnt happen, is down right lying. I put up two rounds in the 90s over the last month. You will get it back.

I've been there many times. I usually just stop keeping score and try to find something good to focus on. I'm lucky - my two best golf friends will always offer some words of encouragement or laugh with me at what I refer to as "clown golf."

Been there numerous times. However for me, that would be a 110 or so. I'm usually satisfied with with low to mid 90's. I hope to get to the point where my terrible rounds are in the 90's.

Been there, done that, was awarded the T-shirt.....and then burned it!

I had a round of 117 not too long ago. 6 hour round behind a 7-some. Frustrated beyond all sense of reason. I totally lost my composure and then I totally lost my swing. It was ugly, but as others have said, it is golf.

C-Tech - Why would you continue playing? Even I would have left.

Men's club tournament. I was playing with guys who were playing well, had a chance at the money, and wanted to finish their round. Also, just plain stubborn cussedness.
