Then go out and play 18 or 36 holes.

No lessons and my game just got better and better and better.

Now I'm lucky to go out once a month and my game is always the same. Never know what shot I'm going to hit. When I played a lot I knew exactly what club to hit without any fancy little gadget to help me. I was super confident over the ball. Who knows if my swing was just right but I got results.

I find it frustrating now as it's like starting over every time I go out. So if you are trying to improve while not being able to play that much I can't see how you go forward. Lessons would be a good boost but nothing works in any sport except playing it a lot.
I agree with the above. There is something to be said for playing a lot. My game improved a lot last year when i was playing 3 times a week. Playing the same course helped too as i got to know where to hit the ball and what clubs to use in certain situations. Makes a huge difference in your game when your confidence level is high.
