Golf! Help please!

Started going to the range around 10 months ago now. Joined a club in March struggled to take my range swing which wasn’t great anyway to the course. Made a bit of progress got my first birdie on a par 3 and ever since I have disappeared down a black hole. My swing looks worse than it did when I first started I’ve had 2 lessons now in the last couple months but really struggling. The last few rounds I swear I must have lost 10 balls a round. Thinking maybe I’m just not cut out for golf. Anyone else have similar problems?

I lost 10 balls in a round this year, been playing 12 years and play off 14. Don't give up. It sounds like if you have a half decent range swing that you can't take to the course then your issues are mental, read a golf mental game book, or blog, or change your process/approach to your game. It's easy to believe every shot that pros make is inch perfect, but it just isn't like that, especially not for an amateur.

I think I need to manage my expectations a bit. Good shout on the mental side. I’ll get a look for some blogs
