It probably is course management. Those 2 blow ups, they were reach-able par 5s. One was 490 and the other was 460. Both had lakes for 2nd shot. Both holes I chunked them into the water.
The crazy thing is I've reached both of those holes on 2 plenty of times before.
I just don't get it.

Well, nerves get the best of us some times when you can taste the birdie but see that water in front. Honestly, I would look at your scoring averages for those holes when you "go for it" vs "laying up". Chances are you can still make birdie by laying up and just about guarantee that you eliminate the double or triple.

Comes down to what % of the time you can execute the shot. Is 60% of the time enough to go for it? Not in my book. Is 80% enough? Probably so....
