I was there tbh. Kurt played like 8 holes in which he got 6 pars, 1 birdie, and a double bogey. Then on the last 3 holes he went 7,8,6. Definitely a choke imo. He was aiming to go under 90, then after 15 holes he looked a good chance to get 84, which would beat my best score. This seemed to really get to him mentally imo.

I shot 95 and Kurt shot 90. Which is not good as I am on a 16 handicap and Kurt is on a 25.

Up until not so long ago Kurt had gone several years without beating me, now he has beaten me 3 times in close succession. Damn embarrassing.

Highlight of the day was the par 5 9th hole where both me and Kurt hit the green in 2 and made birdie
