In which case I'd suggest you are practicing the wrong things

Having waited until this thread spontaneously developed a sense of humour may I throw in my two happorth?

If as a result of your practice you are moving happily and rapidly along a continuum between beginner and grand slam winner (or even just improving slowly ) then there's a fair chance that you are practicing the "right things".

If you are not improving then knowing that "The Game of Golf consists of playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." will not help you find out what to practice.

So unless you are preternaturally talented or believe that trial and error will eventually give you a consistent high level game then I'd go with Nicole and practice what my coach or other mentor tells me.
