Golf is a great that everyone should play at least a few times a year as it has a lot to offer. Many people that start playing golf get somewhat addicted to it and want to learn how to get better as quickly as possible and with as little effort as possible. If you practice smart then you can certainly improve and be able to shoot in the 80's and even occasionally in the 70's on a good day.
Learn the short game first:
Most amateurs do not understand the importance of the short game and think that they will be able to develop perfect swings that never miss the fairway or green so they spend all their time on the long game and ignore working on chipping, putting and the wedge game. If you really want to get better fast then you need to learn how to putt, chip and hit wedge shots in addition to working on the long shots. If you are going to spend an hour at the range then be sure to spend at least 50 percent of that time on the short game. Remember that on the course you will hit most of your shots from inside 150 yards so does it not make sense to pay attention to this part of the game.
Paying attention to the short game will also boost your confidence and make you a better striker of the ball since you will not step up to a drive or an approach and fear missing the fairway or green. You will instead have confidence that even if you do occasionally miss you have a good enough short game to allow you to recover well most of the time. Try applying some of the above golf instruction tips to help you improve and enjoy the game more.
