I took a golf lesson a few days ago. I'm just practicing my swing now. I've been going to the driving range every day diligently and I am getting better but I've got a few questions. Right now I'm only using the 7 iron. The rest of the clubs are kind of foreign to me. I'm having trouble keeping my shoulders relaxed and back. I always seem to be tight and hunched over and when I try to bring my shoulders back my arms are so bent, which I was told they should be almost straight. Any tips? Also my swing will hit the ball a fair distance, not quite to 130 but close, but I can't seem to get any grass with the 7. I know I'm supposed to naturally make a divit after I hit the ball but I'm not. Any tips to help me with that? Sometimes I get some grass when I make a point to keep my left arm straight before the swing and kind of push my iron into the ground lightly but that just makes me hunch my shoulders again.
Lastly I have been practicing every day since my lesson. I only hit a single basket of balls each time. Is an hour everyday a good schedule? I'm very motivated, I just want to make sure I'm getting better, and I realize that at some sports it helps to take a day off every now and then, or you might actually regress. Should I be practicing more, less? Please keep in mind that right now swinging a club isn't muscle memory to me yet, thanks!
