Work on your short game, approach shots to the green, chips around the green and putting on the greens are the quickest ways.

well first practice approach shots like crazy sand wedge, pitching, 9, 8 get confortable with these clubs learn what the different angles are good for in your game then put from 6' many hundred balls so you get used to this distance and change positions after several sunk balls use a little drill after 5 balls in a ROW change position, and then go to the driving range and practice a bout 150 per time balls for the driver and the other woods and irons and you will see a huge improvement.
Just with the approach I guaranty about 15 shots less, with the putting about 10 less.
Remember in approach you have different types lob, pitch and chip so you have to practice each so you can identify which are you going to need in a determined situation.
I see the golf course as the place put to practice all those shots that you should have been practicing on the chiping, putting and driving range.

It's SHORT GAME, SHORT GAME, SHORT GAME. Once you learn to chip to within 10 feet almost every time and then make the putt, you will start seeing strokes drop off of your card. Short game is the most important aspect of scoring in golf.
Another thing. Practice on the putting green more than the range. For every half-hour on the range, designate at least an hour to the putting green, both putting and chipping.
If you follow these instructions, you should be asking how th break 100 in no time.

Three things: Putting, putting, and... putting!
Eliminate all the 4-putts and most of the 3-putts you probably have and you will find yourself in the 100-105 range. Practice from 5 feet and in - these are the putts that are going to save you strokes on the course! Practice 1 hour per day on the putting green and in 2 short weeks you'll be scoring in the 100 range. Serious!
Then, keeping the ball in the fairway will get you into the 90s, and finally - hitting some greens in regulation will get you into the 80s.
Good Luck.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

If you have never shot under 120 before I recomend that you stop keeping your score for like 5 rounds or so, and just have fun out there, relax, its not about a number until you can consistently shoot under 100. find a good preshot routine, visualize, make sure your fundamentels are correct(stance,posture,grip,etc...)
then practice all kinds of chip shots with various clubs and PUTTING would be the best way to reduce your scores!

It's hard to wrap most head around this but, swing slower and smoother to hit it farther. Then work on judging distance on the practice green. If you are over 60 on nine holes, you need more time on the range right now than on the course. I'm a believe of getting on the course at any level, because the range cannot produce circumstances and scenarios like the course, but right now you need to work and accuracy. So work on hitting towards a flag at a range. Good luck, and be the club.

practice practice practice. your not going to get any better if you don't practice. go to a range and work on every club. don't have to do every club the first time but work on some one time and then the next time you go work on the others. generally start out with a seven iron just to get warmed up with and then go from there to a 5 iron and then up from there. the next time start at the 7 again but go down. you don't have to work on every club but mostly on the ones that you have the most trouble with. go to your local golf course and ask the pro for help or advice. otherwise go to a golf shop and ask for some pointers there. i work at dick's sporting goods in the pro shop. there is usually a golf professional that works there so see if you can talk to him or her. if you need more pointers email me at ryansnite@yahoo.com. good luck

120? If your not in the 90s you need to go to the driving range and knock a few buckets out there and learn your range.

The first thing to learn is, its not about the power, it's about finesse and smoothness. I'm 6'4" and 275 lbs, when I first started playing I thought I would be able to hit it a mile , but alas, nope. smoothness and keep your head STILL . watch the club make contact with the ball , and before you know it you will take 15 to 20 strokes off your game, GOOD LUCK
