Obviously another way to get down to 90 is to make 18 bogeys, but sometimes not thinking about the par for a hole helps to keep you focussed.

I try to not really have a goal and just go for the green. I usually get one of my partners to keep track of my strokes so I don't think about it. That seems to help for me. AND DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT PAR 3'S!!! Me and Par 3's dont really get along that well...
