What does it mean when you play well, but don't score well?

I had experienced this a few rounds ago. I was playing well by my standards and was scoring fairly well. On the 16th, however, I had an approach shot over water. I hit it dead on... it hit the bottom of the flag and ricocheted off the green, down a greenside slope and into the water. I was frustrated, and after my drop, I didn't clear the slope on my pitch and it came right back down into the water. What likely would have been a birdie, turned into a quadruple bogey. But on the entire hole, I really only hit one bad shot (the pitch shot). Needless to say, that definitely hurt my score.

Although not quite so dramatic, that is fairly typical for me: I play well but have one or two "blow up" holes that really impact the score. I feel that if I can eliminate or reduce those disaster holes, I can score much better.
