Reading about how some players struggle to recover their composure after a bad hole or series of holes, I just wondered what your best comeback was?

I've had a couple. The most memorable was last year. I started with a double bogey on the first hole, par on the second, then a quad bogey 8 (2 tee balls lost in the native rough - finally made par with the 3rd ball, but was lying 5 off the tee

) on the third. 6 over through 3 holes and fading fast.

I ended up with an 8 over par 80... was only 2 over par for the remaining 15 holes. I think that the recovery actually started with the third ball on number 3... I hit a great drive (finally) with my second provisional, then a solid approach to just 12 feet and barely lipped out the putt that would have made a 7. Those swings just felt good and I built the rest of the round on that.

Now some players might cry about what might have been if not for the bad start, but I just posted the 79 (had to adjust the snowman on the 3rd hole for ESC) with a smile on my face, and felt really good about the round.

So, what's your rags to riches story?
