This is to all golfers (male/female) What is the best way to improve your golf game. To play at one golf course until you become good at it or play different golf course each time you play?

personally I think playing a variety of courses. It allows a player to have to think and gain more mental discipline while playing. The argument on the other side is that when one becomes familiar with one course it allows that player to have a more consistent opportunity for improving some shots. I equate this to a field goal kicker in football. Does kicking estra points only make one a better kicker or should he go to the different hash marks at different depths? The answer is the variety of shots that have to be made on different courses will overall make one a better player. (This of course is not factoring the weather elements.) Wind, light rain, etc, can actually make the same course play differently so there is an advantage there. Best of luck!

The best way to improve your game is to go to a practice area, not a driving range, where you can practice your chipping and putting. All of the best players, to a man, whether pro or amateur, are great chippers and putters. They didn't get that way hitting tee balls. You have to master the short game and then work your way up to the driver, not the other way around. If you're serious about the game this is a fool-proof way of improving. It may not sound like fun but once you master a particular task, the confidence you'll have will be all the joy you can imagine. Practice and play well.

Too many golfers play without giving enough attention to practicing or taking lessons. Just rolling up on the 1st tee is simply not a good way to improve. For as many rounds of golf you play a week, you should practice one other day. And when you practice, practice all clubs, sand, chipping, and putting.

The best way is to practice your swing at a driving range first. Once you have developed a good swing, then learn how to manage a course. I say you should go to different courses so you learn how to shape your game for what you see on the scorecard. Going to the same course over and over will only help you learn that course.

The best way to improve your game is to get lessons from a PGA pro, and practice practice practice....at a drving range, back yard etc. I enjoy playing at multiple courses that way I get a different feel for shots. Hope this helps.

Play different courses in order to have a variance of conditions and shots. Some courses favor big hitters, others favor accuracy. Rough and hazards will vary, as will the lies after the tee shots, including length to the greens as well as uphill, sidehill and downhill lies that will create a challange to create a better "game" plan and require more thought and planning.

Probably lessons, but if you don't want to spend money then work on your short game. Like putting, chipping, pitching etc.. that is the best way to lower your score.

Go take lessons, that way you can play any course with confidence.
