Not sure if I’m doing this right but I was told to start a member  swing thread

i am so new to golf I have no stats or ball flight. Just the urge to get out of bed every morning and hit balls for hours then straight to work. I read golf books when I’m not at the course and now started watching golf on tv. It has become my life obsession. I used to hate it. Thought it was so boring. But I keep going back and got a bag and clubs and a glove and every single day I’m working on improving my swing so I can go out on the course. I’ve had 2 bad golf days in 3 months. Today was one of them. I am doubting my abilities as I am 32, a personal trainer/chef, and never played a sport in my life. I couldn’t hit the balls today. My practice swings were perfect but when it cane time to hit the ball I froze. I am very self conscious, let’s just say I’m a brunette with 9% body fat and long hair. People stare. I hate it. Feel like I’m being judged. How do I block that out? Help!

A member swing thread involves posting pictures or a video of you swing, which you can take with a decent phone camera. The angles you take the video make a big difference. Please read this thread and follow instructions: https://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing

Oh, and just so you know, nobody here cares about how you look, just how you swing a club. 🙂
