My best practices are later in the day when the course is empty nearly, Me and my buddy sneak out to holes 12-14 and hit several balls and many different shots till it gets dark, then we go in. Devotion and passion play a big part in lowering your score down closer to par on every hole, and it's hard to do with work and family and so forth. Eventually it will all come together; my cousin shot 91 in our junior tournement 2 summers ago. He worked his butt off for a year and shot 70 the year after. Talk about a turn-around. He was #1 on his golf team that next year and was only in 8th grade.
