I can remember when I first started playing golf 15 years ago. . I drove it fine on one hole (Lucky shot), hit an approach just off the green (another lucky shot), and then could chip and putt for par! (Like a dream come true in my first year or so!) and as I stood over the ball, i had no idea how hard to hit the ball. . . (Hole 3, Pakachoag 9 hole course)

practice, practice, practice for muscle memory as well as to ingrain your individual best technique is the only known answer. .

and then repeat after each shot:
