You are wise to get some lessons. I also had a few hours of instruction when I first began playing. Was your first lesson about how to warm up, exercise, strengthening, etc.? Mine wasn't. Consequently, I hurt my rib cartilage and have suffered off and on for the past 12 years with costochondritis. I believe that this injury could have been avoided had I received training on how to loosen up and strengthen my body BEFORE I ever swung a club. I do not understand why this isn't the very first lesson a new golfer gets? Most of us who start playing this game so late in life may not be in perfect shape and the last thing we need is a serious injury. The only advice I have is to educate yourself, with or without the help of a golf instructor, as to how to take care of your body while you play the game. I have paid dearly for the lack of a real "first" golf lesson.
