when we have played q little better than our wont on the first nine often give terrible exhibition on the sec ond nine, and, on the other hand, get going, coming home, after mess ing up the outgoing nine.
 It is not uncommon to see man better his first nine score by 10 strokes on the upper at Shuttle Mea- dow or go that many over par on the upper nine after negotiating the low CT in three or four over par. A golfer told me that he once made 60 going out and 40 coming in. l recall that the first time l played the sec ond nine at Shuttle Meadow in par 4, that l had taken 46 going around the first nine.
 I suppose the same thing holds true at Sequin and on other courses. IL also applies to nine hole courses, where the natural argument that one side Is easier than the other, has no validity on the problem. The fact is that more likely than not change of pace takes place as We make the turn.
 Why-I do not know, l can only surmise some of the causes by checking up my own experiences and noting what l have observed when this mystery Of golf has appeared while l was playing. Golfers often comment on it with perplexity. | Take a typical case. A golfer of moderate ability, finds on the Sth i tee that he only needs q par five l and three for the last two holes to get him homo in 40. He bends all l his energy tworda that end and by | d streak of luck finishes with a 1 birdie four and q par three. He goes of the ninth green with an uneX- pected 39.
 It is the chance of the season for l him to break so. If he is playing at 1 shuttle Meadow he needs to get only three easy pars. providing he does not 20 more than one over on the 1 other six holes, 10 score 19. In view ! of what he has just done on the low er nine, his task is easy. In fact he has a good prospect of doing much better.
 While his opponents are clam orin9 for strokes on the upper, this player is laying mental plans to burn Ill the course. But does he do it? Jus recall your own play when the gold
 cn opportunity to better your bes
 score stared you in the face, unde
 similar conditions.
 More than likely you took a floI and had to wait until another da! to realize a cherished golfing ambi. ton. Most Of us have gone through that experience, not once but many times. Pressing. and missed putt! took the joy out of the round.
 Then there is the other side 0 the picture. \ couple of poor drives d. dubbed brassic or two, some woe
 tul iron shots, spliCed on to q fep
 putts that did not sink and yol
 went way over par on the outwart
 journey. Nothing had gone right
 you were down so far that ther,
 seemed no prospect of redemption
 So you just eascd up and decided tc
 enjoy the rest of the game.
 And then the surprise Of running
 down a long putt for par on tn
 10th. Other breaks kept coming an'
 you got 10 winning holes instead 0 losing them, You had staged Q come aCk but for the life of you, vol
 could not tell what you were doin
 differently than you had been dom
 lcforo, And when you finished yo
 found that your total was not ia
 from your usual game.
 Q It seems 10 be part and parcel 0 . tn" game 10 have many days whc Il there is a wide gap between th n scores Of the two sides of the course Il It's not pleasant 10 go sour, afte :, going well but it's sweet to click oi :. Lars after nine holes when il did nc 1 seem as if you ever could hit perfec figures for two holes in succession
