I was actually the same age when I started.

One thing that I think is important and probably the hardest thing to grab hold of is the mind game. You can't let your mind get ahead of your physical game. Trust me, I'm only three years a head of you in the golf game and I'm just starting to notice major improvements. At first, I just wanted to practice and get out and play, thinking that I would get better and wanted to get better quickly. The realistic thing is that it takes time, a lot of time and patients. Just going out, having fun and taking your time is when you start to hit good shots and start to gain some consistency. Taking the positives and getting rid of the negatives from your head after a bad shot is one of the hardest parts, but if you can start to develop a solid mental game early, then things like taking lessons will start to transfer from the range to the course quicker.

I wish you the best of luck and just try to remember that you can't rush learning in golf.
