The Range and practice area and green are good for fine tuning and having fun.
When you Play, try to get the ball in the hole with the fewest number of strokes. (I'm not kidding)
Develop a Pre-Shot Routine.
Best basketball coach I ever had NEVER let us full court scrimmage. Always drills and half court scrimmage with lots of stops and replays (i.e. coaching). Years later, I asked him why. He said "I wanted the GAME to be the fun part that you guys looked forward to..."

If you tossed me a basketball today, some 30 years later, I'd shoot with no hesitation and no thought for my form -- I'd just be looking at the front of the rim trying to make it. If we played a pick-up game, I'd just be reacting to situations and PLAYING -- zero thought about form.

That has always been tough for me with golf (which I didn't pick up until I was 20 years old, vs. basketball with I've been playing since I was 10 or 11).
