Unfortunately you are being WAY to vague for anyone on the forum to give you an answer at this point.

Any specific situations in which you are having trouble hitting the green?

work on your alignment at the range, and when you are trying to hit a green, dont aim at the pin, just be conservative and go for the middle of the dancefloor. maybe club up and take some off your swing, might help with accuracy.

There is no secret to hitting greens in regulations. The more consistent your swing is the better chance you'll have. Having sound fundamentals (at setup and during the swing), and a consistent pre-shot routine will help increase your chances. Hitting greens in regulations are one of the few things that often has a strong correlation with scoring. If it were easy there would be a lot more low handicappers and pros out there.

Like X-forged mentioned you could aim more toward the fat part of the green and make that your target instead of the pin (the easiest part of the green to hit is not always the middle of the green), and that could increase your chances as well (if you hit the ball relatively straight to where you aim).

14 handicap without hitting greens... either you're playing tough courses or you've got a great short game.

How are you missing greens? I don't mean how aren't you hitting them, but where are you missing? Are you 50 yards short because the par-4s aren't reachable in two for you? If so, move up a set of tees, if possible. Are you missing just short? Take an extra club (i.e., use a 6 instead of a 7, etc). Flying the green? One fewer. Are you left or right? Is it your alignment or your ball flight? If the ball is going straight but missing right, it's probably your alignment. If it fades, it's probably ball flight, so aim a bit left.

im missing them every were short right left long i think its more my technique my pro said i had a really fast back swing and a slow down swing so ill try and work on that. i had 36 pts 2 day im a great putter and my shortgame is average to good its and 8out of 10 like its not great but not shit. i almost got a hole in one 2 day :) missed the putt :(

how well do you know the distance of your irons? do you have good distance control?

Also, you may have problems with roll/bounce. When you are trying to hit a green, you cant just think of where the ball is going to go. You need to think of where It will Land, Bounce, and then roll. You need to visualize what the balll is going to do when it hits the green. You need to take those into consideration, meaning you may aim shorter than where the pin really is, or maybe not even hit the green at all and let it roll up.

One of the tips that I think a lot of people miss that I use when i hit irons and wedges is just hand-eye coordination...when i swing back i really dont pay any attention to anthing other than the ball..Most of the time i look at the logo on the ball and dont think of anything--this assures me of making good contact..i dont worry where my hands and arms are--i just worry about concentrating on the logo of the ball..Best Wishes

Average golfer should take an extra club than what they think they should hit, take a smooth swing with good tempo, and can help with GIR. Count how many times you come up short on approach shots in a round and I bet for most it's around 80-90% of the time.
