There are a thousand reasons for this phenomenon! I will mention one that I found to be a large factor in the disparity between tournament rounds and non-tournament rounds. Most of my non-tournament rounds were played at my home course, obviously most of my tournament rounds were played elsewhere. I have found (outside of tourney jitters) that a lack of course knowledge can account for at least 2-5 strokes per round. How many smoked drives have you driven through the dog leg? Or well hit iron shots airmail the green? To me tournaments is about managing what you have on that particular day...tough to do when you don't know where to hit it (other than somewhere down the middle!) I'm, sure there are 999 more to go!
