One reason most golfers don't improve much over time is that they don't measure their performance properly. As a result they don't understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Most people measure performance simply by monitoring their handicap from year to year. However, it is rare that a golfer's handicap improves much after they have played golf for three years. Their handicap will hover within a relatively tight range, but there is no trend of improvement. As they get older, and their physical abilities diminish, they game becomes more difficult.
However, if they learn to measure performance in more detail then they can focus on the areas of their game that need the most improvement, and watch their scores drop. If you go to PGATour.com, you can find a whole host of statistical measures for each player. The individual golfer can go into even further detail with various measures of where their shots are heading when they miss, proximity to the hole, what putts they tend to miss and make, etc.
If you want to get control over your own improvement, learn how to measure your performance in greater detail.
