Then, it’s time for you to get some golf swing instruction.

Too many players think that simply by golfing more, hitting the driving range and working harder, they will get better. But golfers should consider their approach to their game the same way a basketball player approaches free throws. Los Angeles Lakers coach once said about star center Shaquille O’Neal, “he won’t improve his free throws until he understands the ‘way’ he shoots is wrong”.

And that advice from the zen master carries right over into golf.

There is no shame in having a golf coach or getting help on golf with an instructor. Many of the world’s top pros have swing coaches and they find that it really helps them focus on the problems that exist with their swings. The idea is to make sure that you are always getting better, because room for improvement exists each day.
