[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m mid 40s and picked up golf with a few lessons last summer.  I found it so frustrating that I almost quit.  Decided to give it another go this summer and have taken a few more lessons and go to the driving range several times a week.  I am horrible and don’t know if I’ll ever get to a point where I can play on a course.  I just can’t hit two consistent shots in a row and can’t hit my driver and woods at all.  I see plenty of people at the range who hit the ball consistently, so have they just been playing for years or does the game just come so much easier for some people than it has for me?  I so want to get to a place where I can enjoy the game into my later years but it’s just to frustrating right now.  I need some words of encouragement.[/quote]

Focus first on chipping and pitching. Don't use the longer clubs. Watch YouTube videos to pick up pointers. Film yourself now and then to see what your swing looks like. Often, it feels like you are making a particular move, when in fact your body is doing something else.

To save time, instead of going to the driving range just go to a field near your house.  Take 20 balls with you.  Hit them, then pick them up and repeat.

Yes, it is frustrating, but you will get better if you just keep it up.[/quote]
