Hi JK
Looking at your profile it shows you play a lot matchplay games and blitz games. Like you said you put it to scored. This is a scored matchplay game but in this you don't actually get a score to post like you would do in strokeplay. It just goes towards your matchplay stats.
So to get your average down and start moving up the tiers you need to play strokeplay games. I would suggest you play the free weekly tournaments. At the moment as a hack you can only play in the 9 hole unlimited play and the monthly kiawah open but when you move up to amateur you can play all of them.
Hope this helps
