I'm not an expert. But I have been able to break the 90 mark after golfing for 1.5 years (off and on). First putting is where most of us beginners lose most strokes. I aim to 2 putt each hole. Three putting will definitely keep you from breaking 90 (in most cases).

Second, as other posters have mentioned, Course Management is key. I am a female golfer, so my average drive is about 230. What I did during the rounds I broke 90 is to leave myself my best club for my approach to the green. In my case my 7 iron is my most accurate club. So after I hit my drive my second shot is taken with a club I know will leave me a full iron shot into the green. When I leave myself the 7 iron, I know in most cases I will land on the green. If I leave myself a shot with a partial back swing I run into issues.

EDIT: Also, when I can I don't chip with a wedge, but my 7 iron around the green because I have more control. Also, I putt around the green, not chip, when I can.

After all that is said, the best piece of he gave me is split the 18 holes into groups of three. Focus on the three holes and then forget about them and move on to the next three.

I was able to break 90 late last season consistently and never had a lesson.
