Do take videos of your swing every range session. You’ll be shocked to see the progress once you’ve implemented principles from lessons. Do play on a course, that’s the only way you’re really going to get better overtime. Range only does so much for actual scoring improvements.

Short game short game short game. You’ll be amazed how many strokes you’ll save when you grind on the short game.

Do play a lot and don’t get discouraged, having a good attitude and laughing off bad shots is key to your ability to improve.

I’m not really good enough to speak to anything else 😂

I put together sort of a checklist to read before I play. It has all of the things I typically forget until I’m halfway through a round.

A few of them are making sure to open my hips (I tend to only use arms) and go slower on my backswing. Making sure I’m not too close to the ball. Keeping my head down when I chip. And in the sand making sure I don’t decelerate. At the bottom I have a reminder that I’m not a pro.

This ^^^
Focus on making solid contact and less on mechanics. Read Rotella’s “Golf is not a game of Perfect” and “Putting out of your Mind”. Others have commented on taking lessons. That’s important obviously, and I’d suggest once in a while doing a playing lesson. A PGA teaching pro watching you play an actual round can provide so much insight and course management advice that you’ll shave a lot of strokes off your game. Good luck!!

The one thing I’d say is obsess over the preshot stuff, posture, ball position, grip and alignment. Everything else that goes wrong is a byproduct of those things

The “take lessons” part is obvious (and super important). The two things that have worked for me: (1) work on one new thing at a time in lessons (or by yourself), (2) keep a running checklist of things that work for you based on lessons outcomes. While a swing shouldn’t be a mechanical succession of to dos, I find it incredibly helpful to be able to pinpoint the things I’ve worked on and make sure they’re all fresh in my mind as I hit the range or the course.

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?

I recently got Zepp. I dont think its worth it and about to return; its all relative and i hit shitty ball and it give me a good score...

Well its been about a year since I picked up the game and went from a 30+ handicap to an 8 handicap. All I can say is, we just scratched the surface! Im totally hooked and love golf so much. Were any of you able to dramatically improve over the pandemic?
