I went from the 80s in law school, to solidly low-mid 90s then like you ended up around 100, almost being happy to break it. My problem has always been approach shots, but it seems different for everyone in that category.

Are you going out of bounds, losing balls, finding water?  Penalty strokes really add up, but even playing from really tough lies adds up too.  I think part of my challenge is adapting to the fact that I can't hit 300 yard drives anymore.  If I try to, I often miss the fairway.  Then, I try to make up for the bad drive with an overly agressive shot.

I don't know what your scorecard looks like, but when I'm in that 100 and higher range it's because there are some triple bogies and big numbers on the card.  I'll mix in pars and bogeys and even birdies, but those 8s and 9s will kill your score.  When I am scoring better, say lower 90s, I don't have those, double bogey is probably my worst score.  Practice matters and I don't play enough anymore, but even when I did that mental element of going for things (because crushing a 3 hybrid to save a bad drive feels great!) is what was usually my real downfall.
