I’m just starting to play. Is it acceptable to enter the course being this bad?
Not talking smack. I am sure I am way worse. I haven’t figured out how to hit with the driver yet.
My plan is to continue to hit the driving range and take a set of 4 lessons before I play a round.
The number one lesson for beginners is "picking up your ball." Play with someone who is at least moderately good. Then when you hit a poor shot pick up your ball and hit your next shot near the spot of the other player's ball. This will allow you to take your time when hitting a shot and not trying to "kill it".
I like the idea of picking up my shot when first starting.
