One thing that can be a real game enhancer is a playing lesson. The way it worked for me was I went to the range with the pro and took a short lesson while warming up for my round. He then rode along as I played 9 holes. The first three he worked on my swing. The second 3 he talked with me about strategy (club and shot selection) - e.g. if you lay up with a little less club and a little more to the right, that will give you a much easier shot into the green. Then the last three he watched and took notes. We then went into the clubhouse and played back the video he had shot of my round, stopping before and after each shot to talk about my thought process and my execution of the shots. The last three holes were the most telling as I was supposed to have put it together both mentally and physically - and hadn’t. We then wrapped up with a discussion of things to work on.

Great experience - helped me a great deal
