Set reasonable expectations

Golf, like any endeavor, takes time to improve at. You may be tempted to think golf lessons or training aids will improve your game quickly, but the reality is that it will take time and patience. Do not expect drastic improvements overnight - give yourself time to learn how to golf correctly and master the sport.

Golf is a game that can be very frustrating, especially when you are not playing well. However, having a good attitude and being positive will help you recover from the bad holes and salvage a round.

Choose the right golf course

Not all golf courses are created equal. A golf course that is too difficult can ruin a run at breaking 100 before it can even begin. When choosing a golf course to play on, make sure it is one you feel comfortable at and offers enough of a challenge without being overwhelming. If you're not a good driver of the ball then a tight course with lots of hazards won't be a good choice. You'll end up frustrated and not enjoying yourself. At the end of the day, golf is a game we play for fun.

Get lessons

There's no shame in admitting that you need help improving your golf game. Getting golf lessons from a professional is often the best way to improve. A golf professional can help you with your stance, swing, and even golf etiquette.

When searching for a golf instructor, the most important part is finding someone you like and that can convey information in a way you understand. DO shop around - try 3 different instructors before deciding which one will work best for you and your budget.

Practice regularly for high impact

Every good golfer will tell you it takes time to master each aspect of the game:

• putting
• short game / chipping / pitching / greenside
• long irons and woods
• tee shots and the driver

Most beginner players will feel frustrated about one aspect of their game, but be honest with yourself about where you're losing the most strokes. For most players putting and chipping is where they stand to gain the most with the least amount of time in practice. You likely will benefit more learning to chip close and put well than pounding balls on the driving range, but it's a personal decision. If you have a coach definitely get their advice about how you should spend your practice time.

Focus on the Process

If your only focus is your score at the end of each round, you'll likely wind up frustrated. You're there to have fun and golf is a game that should be enjoyed. When you focus on the process of learning and building golf skills, you'll see your scores go down in time. Enjoy your time playing this great and terrible game and before you know it you'll be on to the next goal.
