If you are struggling with enjoyment, then there’s a good chance it’s one of these reasons:
• Too many shots in the rough?
“Lost in the woods or far too short? Hole spoiled before you even start? Can’t get the ball up on good trajectory? Too inconsistent?, asked Millington.

“If that’s you I’m betting you love your friends, and the outdoors, but the game itself is frustrating. So let’s blow a myth away,” explained Millington.
It might take 10 000 hours to be an elite level golfer, but can it take less than 20 hours of practice to master one skill?
“The key to mastering a skill is not bashing away endlessly with minimal or no improvement. You need the right improvement identified and explained.

The right deliberate practice drills and the right feedback, all you need to do is pick a skill.
Keep moving:
Strengthen your foundation. Being home doesn’t mean you can’t work on your golf game. Your physical conditioning is just as important as technique and course management. Improving your mobility from home means that when you’re back on the course, you can hit the ground running.
A good golf swing starts at your ankles:
Being able to stay in position while transferring weight from your back foot to your front foot during the downswing requires ankle mobility. Lacking ankle mobility leads to early extension and inconsistent ball striking.
