I notice when someone's play poorly they tend to get away from subconscious swinging into overcontrolling. I think is because we're so afraid to play badly. The odd bad game is just that. And odd bad shot shouldnt be analyzed too much, unless its a nagging problem. If you hit a good drive then a bad approach, dont analyze your wrist angles, your elbow or your left leg. Accept it, bad shots are part of the game.
When you get overcontrolling and try to steer the ball you get tight, which leaves the clubface open, and you slice. That's not always the case, because you might hit the ball with a shank or a hook, depending on where youre trying to "place" the shot. Trying to force the ball into the fairway is steering. Avoid it if you want to play well.
I dont want to look like an expert, but this is my experience when I play poorly, and what others have told me when they play badly.
When i play well, even if i play conservative, I swing aggressively, to a conservative target. Therefore I am more likely to hit the ball well. There will still be bad shots, but if I'm not worried about it, I can probably get up and down and move on to the next hole.
