No matter how you spin it, golf is hard. It doesn't matter if you're using a driver off the tee, trying to hit an iron shot from off pine needles, or simply trying to putt on the smoothest, most well-maintained grass you've ever seen, this game can cause sane humans to go absolutely crazy.

Sure, pro golfers like Xander Schauffele have been competing in golf tournaments for the past few months, but for average players like you and me, we're still slowly coming out of the offseason now that the weather is getting nicer. While we all want to grab a driver or 7-iron and just beat a bunch of balls on the driving range, it's only natural to be a little rusty - so it's highly recommended to avoid that strategy if you want to build your confidence.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. “Whoa, you work in golf media?” the energetic mid-handicapper asks me as I practice my putts. “That’s got to be the absolute dream job.”Such was my life as the Instruction Editor at a major legacy golf publication.
