If you don't like to practice this is a strong indicator that you don't know how to practice.
How should you practice? Let me answer that question with another question.
What do you want to learn? What would be so amazing to discover and develop that you couldn't wait to get to get started?
Tim Gallwey said in his book Inner Game of Golf (see link below), "Without desire there is no goal, no action."
So what do you really want? Learn to hit it straight? Curve the ball? Solid contact? Increase concentration? Swing and play without fear? Whatever it is that is where you start.
Next where would your attention best serve your learning? In other words what will you be paying attention to while you are swinging? If you can be present to that one thing you are interested in for a couple of seconds it will be remarkable what you discover. If your not able to stay present at first that's okay and is actually great to notice too. You can't put your attention where you want it if you don't know where it is.
Practice isn't something you should "have to do." Practice so that learning is your desire and you will enjoy your time spent practicing.

Golf with Freedom-Discovering what's possible
Greetings fellow Golfers!
I would like to start with a question.
Why do you play golf?
This is an important question to answer honestly because otherwise chasing a ball around a wonderfully manicured field with a bag full of fancy sticks ends up being just that. Isn't there more to be gained from playing this game?
Why you play golf is also a question that shouldn't be answered for you by the ordinary golfing culture that revolves around the survival and preservation of ego, and the domination of others.
Consider this.What if while just hitting a bucket of balls you increase your ability to concentrate? Or the capacity to commit, create, and learn how you learn? Wouldn't that be more worth your time and even contribute to the quality of your life well after you leave the golf course?
So why do you play golf? really?
The answers you come up with will be empowering and if they're not, keep digging, or as one of my competitors from my junior golfing days once said, "It might be time to take up checkers."
