Tips for golf swing

I am new in this forum 

I see a lot of articles on the Internet for golf.
There are a lot of golf swings, and I am confused. Which are the best swings for beginners in golf ?  

Welcome to GR, get a lesson mate
It's probably less painful and more structured learning

Going thru the plethora of Internet swing gurus may mess you up more than you know
Just my 2 cents
Good luck!

Try Ernie Els swing, slow and easy.

Easy??? U should see him live, it's not so simple like you think eventhough Ernie els had a nick "big easy"

*South African accent* "Neutral position…easy back…..keep the box……"

FFRROOSMASSH!!! The ball takes off like a rocket…..

*continue South African accent* "Off you go"

Tour Pros always make it so easy ... But do you know how much time they have sweated in the range in the beginning of their professional golfing journey before you see them reached this level? Albeit a golfer is playing a ball in static position, there are many variables involve in a golf swing that make it so complicated and tough to excel ... 

You Tube video of golf swings may only be useful for golfers with sound fundamentals.

To shorten your learning curve and to ensure that you in-grain the right fundementals from the beginning, I urge you to sign up with a qualified swing coach ...

I mean, you can't help but to realize how slow and easy Ernie Els strikes the ball.
You compare his swing to pros like Rory and Tiger. The latter are swinging so fast with lotsa power while Ernie Els really makes look so "slow and smooth"
If you know the head coach at OCC, Phil Brew, that's what I am talking about... His swing and impact is pretty similar to Ernie Els style

Having gone for proper instruction many years ago, read countless articles in golfing magazines and books, watched zillions of swing videos (many posted by the golf gurus here on GR), and constant self-practice on the range, nothing beats seeing a coach for a short lesson.

All that effort to purchase reading material to glean tips to try on the range, or valiant attempts to slow down the tempo after watching Louis Oosthuizen on YouTube - though part and parcel of the golf journey, most of the time it is conjecture if they work for your swing type and your body.  

Definitely, trying to emulate a pro's swing is fun, but a good coach will be able to help you more effectively.  One lesson can be all it takes; having a trained eye observe you once every few months ensures you are practicing the right things, rather than ingrain movements that are hard to undo, or worse, cause long term wear and tear of your joints and muscle.  We all want to golf for as long as we can wave a stick right?

Of course if all else fails - go out and get that new driver you wanted.

Couldn't agree more!!!

Enwee, digressing here.

Is that a One Piece head cover you got there?

Ever saw Naruto head covers before?

So how to do it properly..its frustrating

I second entity, a good coach ensures that you are practicing the right things. Practicing the wrong things can damage a lot of things, physyically and mentally 

Suggest to go for a professional coaching session....Invest some money and you will enjoy the game....
