Thank you everyone for very encouraging comments. It's not easy but there is no other way I suppose. Today I have practiced some shots on range with iron 7 and it was much better than before. I was not trying to achieve anything but I was basically doing my routine and hit. Some very nice shots. Then I played couple holes (my elbow is aching) and I was positively surprised how easily I was able to hit a ball from the tee and how I played some chip shots. The only thing I was not impressed with was my putting. I am still searching my grip and balance.

Thank you for all the answers. It's really tough but I need to start with baby steps. More or less I have a plan for the next couple of weeks. I will be starting with a half swing, more or less to the moment in swing that arms and a club make a letter L. My feet will be together - I think this helps me a little bit to learn proper rotation. I need to learn how to relax during the swing because at the moment I am quite nervous and uptight. Later on I will start splitting the feet and increase the swing magnitude. Additionally I will devote 1h or 1.5h of practice into chipping and putting. Ambitious plan is to repeat that up to 6 times per week + playing maybe a 3 rounds on a 9 hole course where I have a membership.

Hi Guys, I have started playing golf 2 weeks ago. During this time I had 7.5h of group lessons and 1h of individual instruction and I am still really bad at golf. I have hit up to 15 baskets of balls on a driving range and I still have 0 consistency. I am able to name what have caused a good golf shoot - > proper body rotation, good grip, looking at the ball etc. but I am still not able to apply any technique consistently. Is it normal? Golf is making me a little bit miserable at the moment. After how many hours a typical guy gets some level of consistency? Help!
