What part of your golf game do you need to work on the most?

For me, it's uneven lies in a bunker. If I'm in a green side trap and the ball is below or above my feet, I struggle. I have a sand bunker at home but it's flat. I need to figure out how to address this problem.
 
For me its my driver, it seems to come and go at a whim. Fickle bitch.
 
getting my right hip back inside my right foot so I turn properly and dont sway over toward my right foot and making sure the ball is far enough away [given 14 different differences) so Im neither crowding or reaching which impacts my release and follow through.
 
Chipping from tight lies still give me fits.
 
Bunkers and greens in reg
 
My biggest challenge is focus... course management. I will play well for a number of holes, then get wrapped up in conversations or thinking about work or wondering what's for lunch or... I'll let the mind wander and find myself staring triple in the face. The few tournaments I play, I play well because I stay in the game. This season, I need to learn to shut off the "outside" as part of every shot preparation.
 
Honestly, the place I lose the most strokes is number one on the green. My putting isn't great although I don't have any statistics to say so. Secondly around the green. If I could get up and down most of the time, I would drop a lot of strokes off my game. Lastly, not putting myself in good position off the tee. Although I have been getting better at this by hitting more irons, I still end up behind tree's or OB off the tee more than I should.

I'm going to try to keep better statistics this year...at least PPG and GIR numbers...maybe fairways hit too.
 
my driver and long irons! driver all over the show.....looks like i'm playing army golf with my driver! Long irons (4&5) i struggle with, can hit my hybrid and fairway perfect though??:oops:

When I'm hitting off the deck well, but screwing up my driver, it's almost always because I'm too steep with my swing. Wreaks havoc with my driving. Then I get too flat, and my irons are junk while my driving is great...lol
 
Being consistent with my swing, on the fairway 1st I'll hit fat next shot I'll top it, I'd say one in 3 is a good hit. I think I need lessons!!!!
