Sometimes it can be dictated by the course as well and how it plays into your strengths or weaknesses. Like others said, you really have to eliminate double bogeys (and drop alot of pars that day) so finding a course that plays well into your strengths and away fro your weaknesses is key.

For example, compare Beau Chene Oak's course to Carter Plantation. Carter is a little bit long from the golds but shorter from the gold /blue blend which most 12's should be playing probably but lets just look at the golds.

For someone who can hit fairways consistently and is a good ball striker but struggles around the green, you would likely fair better at Beau Chene.

If you have a strong short game, are a solid putter and all around solid inside of 100 but spray it a bit off the tee, you'll likely do better to Carter.

Appreciate everyone's insight. Will work on applying the common themes. Obviously breaking 80 means limiting double bogeys. I was looking for more mental approach:

1. Remove focus from score
2. Compartmentalize, take what's given and move on.
3. Short game.

To expand on the discussion. As a player who hasn't gotten there yet and focused on it a little too much it's become amazing to me how difficult the feat really is. To those who do it, kudos and I respect anyone who feels like it's easy. For me, it's so frustrating that you can be +3 thru 15 and blow it. Seeing it through seems like the impossible. I play at beau chene and there's just so many opportunities to blow it off a tee shot in any given round. It's like it has to be a freak day from the tee shot to even have a chance. From there you can't have any trouble out of the sand or getting up and down. Margin of error is so slim.
