Mcook is right above in that you need to take a look at your blow-ups and see what is causing them. Is it tee shots? bunker shots? Chunking the chips? Obviously, you are stringing a couple of bad shots together in a row, so is it the same shot that gives you troubles, or different? For example, my most common fault in blow up holes is tee shots out of bounds, and I'm likely to have two of those in a row. So by the time I'm out in center fairway, I'm lying five! Knowing what your problem is, is the first step in correcting it.
So analyze what you are doing wrong, your patterns, and take a look at your decisions and whether they worked out (or not). If they didn't work out, plan a different strategy for next time. Also look at your tendencies, and don't choose stress shots that go against them. For example, If your normal shot shape is a fade, and you've found yourself in trouble, but a nice little draw will put you on the green, and a nice little fade will put you into a lateral water hazard, you might want to think that shot over real hard before going against your tendency.
