Hello Bizzle87:
Welcome to the world of Golf!
I have been playing golf for almost 30 years and I am still researching and learning and improving a little bit at a time.
I finally wrote my own golfStrggle.com to share I have been learning among fellow golfers. We,Golfers do struggle, but we do make a improvement and get a lot of fun and joy!
First, we have to master some basics and fundamentals for playing a fairly decent golf game such as:
Grip, swing plane (extremely important), swing path, very calm swing with enough power, back swing to the top and to down-swing to contact to extension to finish...
Entire journey of whole swing - start to end...
It should not be that difficult, but if you want to play a consistent mid 80's or low 80's, Yes that would be difficult.
Again, please spend some time and quality time on the basics, get sound posture, break down whole golf swing into some components. Just banging and banging at driving range will not (WILL NOT) help!
Golf is the wonderful game of sport, and I really think this is one of the best sport because it requires a constant thinking and analysis. And it requires patience.
I hope you will improve your golf swing a lot in this season, and keep plugging!!
Thanks.
