so why not play every hole for a bogey?
Dont try to hit the green in two, lay up with a 7 or something that you know you can hit and wont end up 2 fairways away.

On the par 3, if a perfect 8 gets you on the green and its protected at the front, hit a 7 everytime, a perfect 7 will have you over the back, but in play.
A mishit will have you on the green and in play.
Course management is vital to your game.

Try playing for a bogey on every hole, actively playing for a bogey, not just accepting one coz you missed your par.
Im sure you woulb be happy walking off the course with a 90...
