New here, and new to golf, kinda

[Raging Beard]

Today I had a golf lesson which has reinvigorated my interest in this great and frustrating game. I just found this forum so I am merely introducing myself.

I have decided to record my progress up to now, and on in to the future, by way of a blog at www.ragingbeard.com I know nobody may ever read it but I enjoyed writing the first post and it will at least serve as a diary and record of my progress.

I did have 3 lessons early in the year but found it hard to take away what I'd learned to use on my own. Today was entirely different as more explanation was given, and my out to in path somewhat cured!

I now need to stop watching YouTube vids as all that served to do was confuse me with information overload!

I look forward to picking peoples brains on this forum :)

Welcome to TST!  Lots of good info here, and it's fun to share questions and experiences, learn about application of the rules. Glad to have you!

Thank you!

Played pretty much my worst round ever today. 9 holes on the "green" course at Wexham Park Golf Course. Par is 32, I managed 56. On hole 5, a 196 yard par 3, I shot in 10 after driving straight into the bunker off the green.

I did expect trouble as I am trying to use what I was shown yesterday which is still new to me... but didn't expect quite that bad lol.
