Lose your driver, lose any iron longer than your seven iron, and putt everything remotely close to the green if possible.
Tee off with a 3 or 5 wood or even seven iron.
Beginners throw away way too many strokes on the tee box by trying to kill a driver with too little loft. Golf is NOT a long drive contest. Most public courses are so short, the rough is so minimal, and the fairways are so hard that length is not needed to break 90.
More Loft = Easier To Hit
Try to putt the ball "close" to the hole on every putt unless it's inside of, say, 4 meters. You need to try to make anything inside of 4 meters unless the green is really slopey and fast.
Suppose you're playing a par 72 course. If you bogey every single hole, then you will shoot 90. All you have to do is par one hole, bogey the rest and you'll shoot 89!
Once you consistently break 90, then your strategy will change in an effort to consistently break 85. Then, a new strategy to break 80. Once you start breaking 75, then putting becomes paramount. Excellent putting is more or less the only way to ever break par. But, if you are trying to break 90, then, instead of trying to refine your short game, you need to eliminate the big numbers caused by the longer clubs and poor chipping.
Bet: Take out the clubs I mentioned you should lose, putt everything remotely close to the green, play for bogey instead of par, and you will score lower than you do now.
Let me know how it goes next time out.

1. Take lessons to get your fundamentals right.
2. Practice what you learn.
3. To break 90 consistently, focus on your short game.
4. Play smart golf.

Fine tune your short game! Practice chipping, pitching and putting that is where you will shave strokes.

Take lessons from a pro it really helps (can be exspensive) if you have the money it's worth it!

Make sure you break 80 first.
