Sir Scoop-A-Lot

So I have been trying to lower my handicap forever and after putting in a lot of time and effort (and not to mention money!) I thought I had gotten to a level to reduce my handicap by a shot or two at least.
I have played in 3 competitions now and have done terribly in them all. I have played twice this week and on both occassions played really well.
On Monday I played 18 holes and scored 37 points (21 on the front and then 16 on the back) so I decided to play another 9 holes and scored 23 points!
Today I played 9 holes with a mate and scored 24 points (including a chip in birdie on our Par 5 6th, I was dead chuffed! :thup.
Why oh why can I not shoot scores like this when playing in the club comps. We get to choose our tee times for the comps and have played all 3 competitions with the same group of guys that I normally play with so can it really just be knowing it a competition thats making all the difference?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am already planning to hand in a couple of supplementary cards over the next few weeks to try and get the ball rolling.
