You’re just starting and based on what you said you don’t really know ins and outs about golf I’d assume (not that it’s totally necessary). But understanding basic golf theory is pretty big. Types of shot/ club selection/Loft/shot shaping/ approaches to green based on slope, risk reward of going for it etc.
It’s not like you need to be a master of it but with more reps you’ll figure a lot of that out.
With that said, even if you did understand all that the game has a steep learning curve. When I first got it I shot high 70s for at least 2-3 weeks before I figured it out and I didn’t join tgctours for a couple months.
Just keep playing and you’ll figure it out
