Golf can be a lot of fun to learn and to improve at can be a challenge but it is worth testing yourself to see how good you can get. One of the keys to getting better and shooting lower scores as quickly as possible is to make sure that you learn and focus on the short game. Remember that in any round of golf you will hit at least 60 percent of your shots from within 150 yards so it makes sense to spend time working on those shots if you want to get better.
Short game advice:
The short game is comprised of chipping, bunker shots, wedge shots and putting. The key to getting better at the short game is to learn how to practice effectively. Putting is no doubt an important part of the game of golf and few people understand what it really takes to get better at this aspect of the game. In order to be a great putter you must learn to master a specific technical approach and combine it with learning to think the right way on the greens.
There are literally dozens of different putting techniques and putters that you can use to putt well. The important thing to understand is to select a technique and putter that you like and then stick with it long term only making small adjustments along the way. Never lose confidence in your putting technique regardless of how poorly you may have putted the last time you played. Learn quickly whatever you can from your mistakes and then move on believing that you are better now than ever and will make the next putt you hit. Another key tip to always remember about putting is that you want to always try to make the putt regardless of how long it may be, this will decrease your margin for error the most instead of aiming for a 3 foot circle on long putts.
