[quote=Anonymous]It's like anything.  Improvement is not linear.  Start small and master small thinks and there will be large steps along the way.

It's much much easier to get from no ability, to shooting 100 than it is to go from 100 to 90 or 90 to 80 because when you start from scratch you can find improvement everywhere.

OP, I would continue to go out, hit balls, work on the shorter clubs and then when you can make contact and get the ball in the air it's time for real instruction and then you can make some gains.   I have played with people who have been playing for less than 3 years who can shoot in the 80s and I play with people who have been playing for 30 years that can't.  In order to play golf you have to really focus on the idea of repeating the same action precisely over and over with little to no variation and that is the challenge.

Have a goal.  Hit five balls in a row in the air, hit five balls in a 20 square yard area, hit a ball 100 yards and then do it twice in a row.   The more you can turn practice into a series of challenges the better off you will be.   It's a great game, don't quit.[/quote]
