How to play golf better
The majority of us who play golf want to play golf better. If you are asking the question on how to be a good golfer or how to be better at golf then read on because we are going to break it down for you. Playing better golf will increase your enjoyment of the game and the more you enjoy it, the more you will want to play.
Goal 1. Get the best golf swing
Do you have the best golf swing? Before you answer that, let me define what I mean by the best golf swing. In my opinion, the best golf swing is a swing that will allow you to play 18 holes with one golf ball (ie. the same golf ball you started with on the first hole and finish with on the last hole). This is a swing that will not let you down. It is a swing that can be used with any club except the putter. And it is reliable meaning that it can get you anywhere on the fairway or on the green. Do you have a swing like that? If not then you have some work to do.
Having the best golf swing will let you play the game as it is intended for. You can play any course like a pro. With a reliable swing and course management, you can play strategically. You don't have to worry about the water or the trees because your golf swing will let you position your ball where you want it.

Goal 2. Learn to Recover.
It doesn't matter how good your game is, but everyone should learn a few recovery shots. Recovery shots are used whenever you get in trouble. Your ball may end up behind a tree or trickle down a hill and roll into a bush or into a bunker. Nobody plans for it but stuff like that happens. When learning how to hit recovery shots, try to perfect hitting from a bunker. Practice blasting out of a bunker with a big fat lip or picking a ball cleanly off the sand for distance.
Goal 3. Be a great putter.
To play better golf, you have to be great putter. Learn how to read the greens, recognize the breaks and understand the nuances of undulating greens. Perfecting your putting stroke is important because you can control the speed better, reduce the spin on the ball and roll the ball instead of hitting it. Better putting will lead to lower scores.
