Love for the game of golf only gets better as one improves. Nothing is more exciting than hitting a drive down the fairway far and straight, except for sinking a 25 foot put. Moments like these on the course can make even the most reserved golfer giddy with excitement.

Improvement starts with understanding, knowledge and practice. Combined, these three components will provide the foundation for breaking 80. But more importantly, one needs to focus on the fifteen most critical skills of the game:

1. Understanding the fundamentals - Learn the proper way to address the ball, and grip the club;
2. Swing - What one needs to do to create consistency and strength;
3. How to use the draw and fade shots to add distance and accuracy;
4. Learning how to deal with bad breaks and what can be done to still get a birdie;
5. Hitting the greens - Learning to get up or down;
6. Understanding the simple formula for short-game shots;
7. Adding roll and loft to your chip shots;
