When your golf round goes bad, treat the back nine as a fresh 9-hole game instead of dwelling on what came before. Reset your mindset, return to what was working, and focus on playing solid holes. A bad nine happens; finishing strong can still save your score.
If you're ever struggling in your round, one of the easiest ways to reset is just view it as 9 holes rather than 18 holes. Sometimes you just have a bad 9 holes, it happens. But one of the best things you can do is just reset, go back to what you were doing that worked, and try and play a good 9. Might finish out with a pretty decent score.
