Answer 1

this game is such a mental game....instead of going through a whole routine and standing over the ball count to like 10 and step up and hit it immediately...the more u stand over it the more u will think

Answer 2

its always good to practice short game like putting, chipping, bunker play, etc.  however i think the best investment you can make is getting some lessons with a well respected teacher, they have really helped me.

Answer 3

practice short game constantly,as much as you can,any chance you get.It shaved 10 strokes off my game in one year.Also if you say your drives are straight ,and you can control them,then put the ball at a good angle for your second shot.

Answer 4

What has been costing you strokes? Errant drives, iron play, short game or putting ?

Always check your fundamentals  Grip, Alignment, Stance(ball position) and posture

The easiest and fastest way to cut strokes if to practice from 100 yards and in.
