Wow, you are such a great golfer! How long have you been playing?

I started playing golf 15 years ago. But I haven't improved at all. Two years ago I used to go golfing once a month, but recently I haven't been going any more.

3. Spelling correction.
That's too bad! It can be frustrating to feel like you're not progressing. Do you find yourself getting discouraged on the course?

I am always discouraged. But I don't practice, so I can't help it. Especially I can't putter well and can't improve my score. I am not good at reading ups and downs and distances. Are you improving?

It sounds like putting is your biggest challenge right now. Have you tried any practice drills specifically targeting reading greens and judging distances? As for me, I'm always working to improve – some days I see progress, and others I feel like I'm back at square one!

I haven't tried that way of practicing. I was advised that the best way to read distances and greens is to actually play a round. But I can't play a round easily because my children are still small. And I actually don't like to practice much.

1 and 2. It is grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with a conjunction.
It's totally understandable that finding time to practice is tough with young kids! Have you considered a putting mat for home, so you can work on your short game in small bursts?

Yes, I have. I used to use it occasionally, but not anymore. Because I got tired of practicing in the same place and at the same distance. I don't think the actual greens are very helpful because the slopes and the speed of the greens are different.
