Hello! I've never played golf before, but always have wanted to learn. I've never been super athletic but I have a love for technique (for example, I swan for years and was never very fast, but I have very efficient, smooth strokes.) So, I thought golf would be a good fit, as I'm under the impression (maybe falsely...) that it is a very technical sport. I'm going to be joining the local country club in the upcoming weeks and will start taking lessons soon after. I bought a set of clubs from my landlord's granddaughter and have been playing around with them ever since. But the truth is I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. So I bought some books about golf from Amazon and joined this forum in the hopes that those things, in addition to my upcoming lessons, will help me begin learning all there is to know about this great sport.

I'm a physical therapist at an outpatient clinic and do aquatic therapy, general orthopedics, wound care and neurological rehab. Very rarely do I do sports rehab, because of the patient population where I work. But I love working with athletes!
