Sometimes you can play well and score badly, other times you play crap but post a decent score - you take what you have on the day and come back next time to try again.

Try setting yourself a small target eg: make 4 pars per round.

Enjoy!

Putting too much pressure on yourself mate, take a week off then play for fun and relax.

You have to take what you're given on the day.
Hitting the ball well doesn't guarantee a good score and hacking can produce a decent score.
Relax a little and just play - don't worry about the score. That'll come later.

I concur. I hit the ball pretty well (for me) today but couldn't score especially around the greens. Even though hit the ball well I was caught out by the baked ground and so some were going long and I pushed a few wide of the greens too. Good ball striking and poor scoring. I might go out tomorrow and not hit it as well but they trickle onto the greens and I make a few putts and score great. Its what golf is all about.

Relax. Take each round as it comes without any expectations before the game or on the first tee. It will be what it will be. Some days you'll be pleased and other days it'll make you mad. LIve with it and learn to embrace the vagaries of golf

When I first started I used to spray the ball all over the place. But every round I'd hit one or two shots a pro would be happy with.

Those were the ones I would try to remember and that's what kept me coming back for more.

While I am very score oriented I kept telling myself I'm not expected to shoot well that often.

Try to find something in each round that you're happy with. Sometimes it might be the score, sometimes it's just a nice drive or a good putt.
