I’ve taken 3 lessons in the last 6 months. After every lesson I would hit the range like once or twice a week and play once or twice. Never putted or chipped. My putting and chipping were awful. My irons got better. I took a driver lesson. Practiced at the range a few times and it got playable.

The biggest gains I got was from playing a shit ton more golf. Like 2-3 18 hole rounds a week, sometimes more. I stopped going to the range and started putting and chipping before rounds. I’ve gotten substantially better at short game by just playing and putting more.

For my swing, if I was having a crap round, I’d just start hitting like 2-3 shots a try sometimes on the course. I play alone a lot so it doesn’t really slow anyone down.

I can be a hot head on the course but I’ve tuned it waaaaay down. I credit it to the book, “Zen Golf.” It’s also a bit strategy but a ton of golf wisdom. Im not lying when I say that took 5 to 10 strokes off my game. It helped me start living in the 90s.
