Other than continuing to practice and consulting with a teaching pro to see what areas in which you can improve, that is about it. l think that if you can remember to have fun while playing you may see some improvement as well. Remember it is a game.

Read books by Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan only, the rest are ripoffs. Good Luck.

Lessons and practice add to those the continued dedication to improvement. everybody hits a period of no improvement...only the dedicated work through the barrier and progress.

The main thing is that add learn & practise at first. l will give u some advice as follow:The Routine makes for better

One thing u will notice in all good players is that they approach every shot from behind the ball .

They stand looking directly down the target line to get a good visual of the shot, a real feel for it. It only takes a few seconds, but if u get into this habit u will enjoy a better ‘mind set’.

Try to identify what we term an ‘intermediate target’ a few feet ahead of the ball – that makes aiming the club much easier to get right.

Then, as u walk in, go through key moves to get ready.

For the grip, check that the right hand is in the fingers, while the butt of the left hand hides the top of the shaft (as u look down on it).

As u then approach the ball, aim the clubface at ur target, allowing for ur natural shape of shot.

Finally, settle down into a square stance, so that ur feet, knees hips & shoulders all run parallel to ur ball-totarget line.

l often get asked how far u should stand from the ball, & clearly this is a detail that has a big influence on ur posture.

Well, here’s an easy way to check it: when u r the correct distance from the ball, if u were to let the club fall, the grip would strike u just above the knee. (Below Right) And when u r the correct distance u can settle down into a good posture.

Routine makes for better aim, grip & posture

The sweet-spot on these modern oversize titanium headed drivers is quite high up the face, so don’t be afraid to tee the ball relatively high – that way u will maximise the power potential of these clubs.

SHORT GAME,SHORT GAME,SHORT GAME.
This is what separates the men from the boys. Anything u can do to improve from 150/130 yards(approach shots) on in.
A 3 is strong but how many three putts in ur round? How many 1 putts from outside 12 feet. What is ur percentage of 3 footers made. What is ur up/down % from sand. What is the average distance from hole on approach shots? Greens in reg? Check the pro stats & l think u will find the short game is where they all excel!
Scoring is done w/a short game. :) 2/3 hours per day 3/4 days per week nothing but short stuff. Get a plan, day 1 - all three footers, 100 consecutive putts without miss or start over. day 2 - chips from fringe using 3 different clubs all to within 2 feet of hole. day 3 - Wedge shots, determine distances with wedge, gap wedge & sand wedge using 3 swings.full, 3/4 & half swings. day 4 - u work it out, play little games, keep it fun. Practice from sand & then putt ur shots out.
Good luck.

Difficult to comment on your information. Apparently you are better than Tiger Woods was at your age. Why have not we heard of you ?
