Just Learning at 50

So at 50 years old I am just starting to learn how to play golf. I was gifted a partial set of clubs by a relative and have been practicing mainly in my yard. I have played some work events, but its quite frustrating.
Someone recommended that i go to a place like Golftec for a swing analysis, and a few lessons for the basics. My question is would you go to a place like that or find someone for lessons?

That’s awesome. I’d recommend finding a local pro who can give you lessons vs GolfTec. What area do you live in?

Start with a local pro.

GolfTec would be perfect for you, they teach a specific way which is geared towards new players.

I went to golftec because I just wanted the metrics from the basic analysis. I knew they were going to present a bunch of lesson packages to me and I have to say that I left wondering who pays for what they offer. While I appreciate their technology, I just can't imagine paying several thousand dollars for what they're offering. I think you're much better off finding a local pro, preferably at the course where you play regularly, and spending your money there.

Take away is key.
Get to a mirror and have the club head cover your hands halfway back.
Practice this religiously.

Instructional youtube videos work fine.

I found Jack's book "Golf My Way" very helpful when I was younger. There was no movie about it until the 1980's. I found the movie on YouTube while looking for Ben Hogan's "5 Lessons." It is over 2 hours long, but if you have the time you may find it useful.
