Is par really your par – of course not.   Suppose you are playing a par 4 hole, about 398 yards, with water on one side and trees and bushes on the other side.  Assuming that it usually takes you 2 putts to score, can you put 2 straight shots of 190 yards each together all the time?  This is difficult for most golfers especially the higher  handicapper, so it is best to play safe and get on the green in three easy safe shots and bogey the hole.  You may not feel as proud as you want to but you actually parred the hole for your personal capability.  Check around and see how many golfers reach that particular green in two strokes and how often….not many. This golf training can help you reduce your stroke and have a good day on the course.
