Question: How Can I Avoid the Back Nine Collapses that are Common in My Rounds?
Answer: Gary's Quick Tips:

Many recreational golfers have this problem: falling apart on the back nine after you've played a great front nine.

Every golfer knows his or her expectations and comfort zone. When you are playing well, the key is to keep your mind off the score. Focus on playing one shot at a time.

Keep your score to yourself. The more you verbalize your round, the harder it is to keep focusing on the process. Focus and stick to your pre-shot routine.
