Not just golf, anything. To really separate yourself from all the other good players, you need to work hard at it. There are millions of good players, but very few truly great ones.
Deliberate and focused practice. Jack Nicklaus said he never went out just to hit balls on the range. He said he was going to go work on specifics like, chipping, high fades, low hooks or , yes, even his 1 iron. He and other top players in ANY sport, focus on aspects of their game that need work. So should you also develop the habit of working on something that needs work. Always aim for a target. Think about what you are doing. Work toward a measurable goal.
