| re: consistency
I can think of two things at the top of my mind. First, identify your strengths (pros) and weakenesses (cons). On your weaknesses strategically come up with a plan to eliminate or improve them. For example, if you struggle with 6 foot putts, put 10 balls at 6 feet out around the hole. Practice until you can make at least 5 out of 10. That's just one example.
Second, one thing I try to do is simulate a round of golf. Or at least simulate your first two shots. Imagine you are staring down a 400 yard par 4. So, pull out your driver or 3 wood and swing. Identify how far you hit it and determine the yardage. Then pull out your other club for that yardage. Swing away. How did you do? Were you accurate?
The thing about the second part is alternating between clubs won't allow muscle memory to sink in. I used to say anybody can eventually get a rhythm going if you swing the driver 20 times. The hard thing is alternating those clubs. It's just like the playing a real game of golf. Whatever tendency you have alternating your clubs is going to show up at the course as well.
You now know what to work on.
Good luck.
