My story is a bit long, but I'll summarize it quickly. I played golf at a very young age and was forced to quit due to my baseball coaching (my dad) saying it was messing with my swing. As an adult, I wanted to pick it back up for years but could never find the time. We purchased a house near a course, and every time I drove by, I heard the field of dreams voice, "If you play, you will learn", or at least that's what I told my wife. I bought some hand-me-down clubs from my brother-in-law and took a swing at it. I'm currently three years into playing, and I've never had a lesson. Last season, I broke 80 just once, but I contribute that all to YouTube or social media golf. I know every swing is different, but my experience as a baseball hitting coach allowed me to make necessary adjustments to my swing to help out. It's still a work in progress, but I feel comfortable enough to enjoy the game. Also, recording myself during range sessions has helped tremendously.
