Pretty much everything fistofrage said is spot-on. I think the breakdown is pretty much a combination of mental and not the best swing mechanics and complete lack of ability to save myself from poor shots. One bad shot on a hole and it usually takes me completely out of making any kind of number. At least, any kind of number that you would want to put on your card....
Got out again today, and played much better. Much more under control. I played really conservatively, and surprisingly, my score ended up much better. If I hadn't missed a boatload of short par putts (again, can never sync everything up at the same time), I'd have shot a pretty good round (for me - mid-80's maybe). But I was definitely swinging under control, and I never went for the 'hero' shot - pitched out from behind the treelines, didn't go for the greens in 2 on the par 5's, and generally swung more under control and sacrificed the occasional/infrequent fantastic shot for a consistent 50th percentile shot that wasn't beautiful by any stretch but rarely out of play or radically out of position. Made a huge difference.
Over-swinging had become the norm for me. Dialing that back is going to be a project. But that's what summer days are for.
