Being consistent is the difficult part of golf…
It is not conceivable for any person, Tiger Woods included, to hit the golf ball correctly 100% of the time.
What good golfers can do however is consistently hit the ball very good most of the time, and near perfectly a lot of the time.
It is this consistency that sets them apart and even those at the top of their game have days when they
don’t get their shots right enough of the time.
There is only one thing that can really help any golfer get that consistency and that is through practice.
But there is another matter that needs to be addressed when talking about consistency and golf and that
is - Consistently bad shots.
The more you do anything consistently the more it will become natural behavior and this applies to poor
technique too.
The sooner you address poor golf techniques, the sooner you will be able to practice the correct methods
that will replace them and make those actions second nature.
This is why it is recommended that everyone should get professional instruction before learning bad techniques that will need to be relearned at a later time.
I would even go to the extent of advising a newbie to the sport to have golf instructions, before playing their first round of golf.
Or alternatively, learn how to use one club well, probably the 7 iron, and play a complete round of golf, or nine holes, swinging only the 7 iron.
I knew of one player who made impressive improvements to his game by using this technique and he has been playing very good golf for many years.
He started playing golf with only the 7-iron and his putter, until his swing became natural, and then introduced the other clubs one at a time.
After honing his swing with the 7-iron, mastering the other clubs was relatively simple.
