Sore left shoulder due to "flipping"?

[Golf Novice]

Guys,

I've had a sore left shoulder since last weekend. I'm a beginner, and went to the range 3 times last week prior to going to my first lesson. When breaking down my swing via video, my pro said that the soreness in that shoulder is likely due to me flipping at impact. Is it normal for it to still be sore after several days like this? When I try to practice my backswing, the soreness makes if difficult to rotate as full as I otherwise would be able to because the further I rotate my shouders to take the club back, the left shoulder feels like its being "pulled" and it limits my ability to rotate back fully. Is this a common issue, and have others experienced this? Just trying to make sure that this isn't abnormal, and that my plan to just rest it until if feels better should be sufficient.

Is your shoulder is sore, then you might be overswinging and forcing your body into positions it cant get into. I dont know what flipping the club has to do with it. Im just speculating, but im pretty sure your backswing pivot is steep and too long. Also, if you hit off of hard mats at the range it could cause some soreness.

You need to fix your fundamentals, because they may be off forcing you into bad positions that are unnatural and causing your body pain.
Hope this helped,

agree, just like a pitcher in baseball that tears a rotor cuff..too much arm action, need to rotate the chest and shoulders and coordinate them all together.
