Here is one thing of many that help you shoot lower scores and have nothing to do with hitting golf balls. Review your rounds. In detail.

When I get home from having played, I write a brief description of every shot I hit. For every shot that worked out, I write down the conditions, what I did, and my opinion of why it worked. You can’t take success for granted. You repeat success by knowing how to be successful.

For every shot that didn’t work out, I write down the same thing, and my opinion on why it didn’t work out. What should I do if I faced this shot again? Sometimes you have done everything right but you just made a bad swing. That happens. But most of the time you have the skills to hit that shot, but you didn’t think it through, or your mind was on something else

In other words, learn from what you did, both good and bad. In other words, keep on doing this, but next time, do that.

If you play a round and don’t learn anything from it, you just went out for exercise, which is OK if that is what you want out of golf.

But you spend all that time playing, so you might as well get as good as you can. Here is one way to do it.
