How to get good at golf without lessons?

I am participating in a golf tournament in 2 months. I can hit 60% of drives good, 40% of irons, and 20% of putts. Also I cannot hit a lob shot.|||Go to the range and work on your irons, go on a putting green and putt. Hit your 3 wood off the tee instead of your driver. Go on the putting green and putt. Driving range, putting green, putting green, irons, putting green, putting green, putting green, putting green, putting green, putting green, putting green, putting green.





I forgot the statistic but it's something like 70 percent of all shots are made 100 yards within the hole. Don't quote me on that but it's very close to that.





Good job with your driver, but to be safe and more accurate, go with a 3 wood off the tee. I dont' care about the lob shot really, it's not important right now.





I'd say areas of focus from most important to least important are this:





1. putter


2. irons


3. chipping


4. driving





If I you were to practice for 100 hours total, I'd say 70 goes to putting, 20 goes to irons, 7 goes to chipping and 3 goes to driving.





Good luck :)





Oh and don't forget to practice putting :)|||Watch golf. I do it alot, also on the golf channel they will sometimes have alot of tips and swing demonstrations.





Try to keep your feet to the hole, point the forwards. I use to place a club at my feet and see where it pointed. When laying down the club should be at the green. You want your feet apart but on a line. Try not bending your knees a whole lot.





Keep your elbow tucked in to your body not to far away on the backswing.





^ This and play alot of golf.|||so many sources online|||If there is anything that will save your skin in the upcoming tourney...it will be the PUTTING...





Expect to be 20ft away from the flag on every hole...so take the time NOW to get the putting stroke to get you within a 6 foot circle.





Now, its a matter of can you make those 3 foot putts or less...





2 months to practice? you will get this dialed in pronto (even with the 3 ft. putting) if you can get to a practice green near you...





Oh, what the heck...while you out there...take a wedge %26amp; use the same putting stroke with a little more assertiveness just outside of the green and see how your ball reacts towards the flag.





If you find yourself outside of the green most of the time...well, then that is where the WEDGE is your best friend to get you anywhere around the green down to that same 6 foot circle.





Without lessons? No..."Im A - fraid Knot"...said the rope to the bartender...just by following this instructions alone will place you into the category of following a Yahoo Golf Sea-Lawyer Instructor.
