I've been golfing for about 8 months and finally got around to having a lesson.
I focused on my swing - the major problems he saw were that my backside was sticking out wwwaaaaayyyy too much and my follow through was almost non-existant.
He gave me some great tips and towards the end I felt much better. The base of my spine was somewhat painful though. He said thats becasue you're use to a different stance. It will go as yuu practice the new stance. My new stance is, eccentially much more upright.
He also said that I really need to release my grip a lot!! I tend to grab hold and strangle to club.. When I did hold it lightly the balls flew much further.
If I could give new starters a tip it would be to have a lesson before you even pick up a club
