Welcome.
I think the biggest challenge for me, and still is, trying to do what I do when I hit a very good shot all the time. Realize this is a game of mistakes, everyone has them. If it were easy it would be boring.
I think the biggest things preventing true scoring are lack of solid fundamentals and short game. Learn the game, learn your game.
I play 2-3 times a week and practice another 2-3 times a week. It's a rare day I don't pick up a golf club.
Pick up a decent used set of clubs. Something a year to 5yrs. old will be fine. A few lessons would be a good idea to get the fundamentals down. I've gone the self taught route and really lack a solid fundamental base. You could watch my best 2 holes of round and say "man, this dude must be scratch" and then the worst 2 and say " holy hacker"
