Yup - for me it was all about avoiding those 8+ scores and suddenly I was playing much closer to 90 than 100. The bad holes will come along for sure, but the key is to make them only so bad.
At my level (handicap 15) when I lose a ball or dunk one in the water I have to re-think that a double bogey is now good and even a triple can be stomached from time to time. It really changes my mindset on a hole and seems to help me avoid the big numbers. I'll usually just end up with a double and move on without hurting the score too bad.
