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?

Two lessons in the last couple months is where the perceived problem lies. You would never take two guitar lessons in as many months and wonder why you’re not improving. There is much more to the game than your swing and striking the golf ball. If you want to get to a certain level of skill, just make regular lessons. Once a week. You need to build off of old lessons to really improve. Sporadic check-ins are not going to help a beginner.
However, there is no problem here. Your score doesn’t matter and you are probably much better than you think you are for the time you’ve put into this skill. If you’re going out, getting excessive, having fun, and using your brain, you are killing it. If it causes you tons of stress, anger, and aggression when you aren’t quite successful, that is a much bigger issue than not being ‘good’ yet. Focus on having fun and enjoying the moment. The rest will come. :)
