If you are an 18 you need to work on lots of stuff. I range from around 3 to 5 handicap. I practice back words, (by back words I mean "From the green to the tee box) I see so many people at the range just hit driver after driver. I chip and putt more than I do anything else. If you can't video yourself practicing, learn the golf swing. Read some books anything by hogan or flick. You can learn a lot about your swing by watching what the ball does in the air. When I teach I tell my student to watch women's golf, Long slow back swings with nice on tempo forward swings. Tempo is the most important part of the swing, learn to swing slow and easy. Golf is not about how far you can hit the ball its about how many strokes it takes to complete the hole. When you go out to the course keep track of every hole, how did you hit the ball off the tee, where did your aproach shot land how did your chip land and roll how many putts did it take ect. By keeping track of how you did in each aspect of the game during your round you can see where you need to spend more time working.

Plus I would add to practice the "scoring clubs" say from a 7 iron upwards, its your acuracy with these clubs that determins how good you have to be at chipping and putting. Dont think you have to take a driver off every tee, pick a distance that you like, for me its an 8 iron at 155 yards, practice it until you are really accurate, take lessons if you vary too much, then hit the ball off the tee to 155 yards from the green.
