Beginner golfer new to TST

[NCGolfer84]

Hello everyone, my name is Micah and in from NC, and like the title says in a beginner golfer.

I tried to learn how to play a few years ago and quit out of frustration and now some guys at work talked me into getting the clubs back out and so here I am. 

I have played a couple rounds so far and let's just say they both were forgettable at best, but I had fun and enjoyed be out on the course so mission accomplished on that at least. 

I am going to post my swing on here and I am open to any and all comments, tips, etc.  

I look forward to learning the game and getting better, and I would like to thank you guys and gals for all the information on here.

My parents named me from the book in the bible of the same name. Not sure of the origin of the name originally.

Welcome to TST. As long as you are enjoying playing/practicing then you'll be able to improve. You've come to the right place if you need advice as there are some very experienced people here who are always happy to help.

Feel free to start a swing thread and if there is anything specific you want to work on then try the search function as you're sure to find something on here and if not start a thread.

My personal advice for a new golfer is dont get yourself down when things dont go to plan. Golf is hard and even the best of them have tough days at the "office". If you hit a bad shot then no problem, your next could be super.

You'll have days/weeks where you hit it so well you think "aha! i've cracked it", only to spend the next few rounds lurking in the tree's like David Attenborough. We've all been there, done that, got the tee shirt. Hell. i shanked a hybrid last week and almost killed my brother-in-law last week. He was in the trees as it was "safe". It was quite funny once his heart rate returned to normal .

Anyway, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!. Golf.... the best rollercoaster in the world.
