Backninen

Backninen is a term that refers to the final nine holes of a standard 18-hole golf course. It is the latter half of the golf course, following the front nine. The back nine often presents different challenges and strategic considerations compared to the front nine, with some courses designing their most difficult holes or most dramatic finishes towards the end of the round. Players often speak about their performance on the back nine separately, as it can significantly influence the final score and the outcome of a competition. A strong back nine can be crucial for closing out a lead or mounting a comeback in a golf match. The term is widely understood within the golfing community and is a common point of discussion when analyzing a player's round or a course's layout.
