You find them constantly getting more and more skilled in the game with you lagging behind. This should not worry you, and if you are keen to improve your performance, here are some tips which you may like to follow.

• Do not crush the ball as you are driving. You are not skilled enough yet to crush the ball. Instead you should try to make contact.

• While you swing back your club, take it easy. Doing it in haste may take off your eyes from the ball and either you are going to miss your stroke or hit the ball way out of your target.

• When you are trying to have an iron shot at the ball, you need to aim to hit the ball with an intention to scoop up some earth with it.

• Before you hit the ball, fix your target and concentrate on where you are aiming the ball to go. Take a few practice swings before you make your shot. Do not mind the people behind you and do not worry if they need to wait till you take your shot.

• When you are taking a closer shot, choke up your pitching wedge. By doing this you would get This will give you much more accuracy and your ball right on the green near the pin.
• While hitting the ball rotate your club face (irons and woods) inwards slightly to gain better control on the ball.

The above are simple basic rules for playing your golf games. As you practice these and get skilled there are more ways for you to perform well.
