Newbie question about golf

[Guest guest]

I have found my hands hurting in the last month. So new to all of this. I feel

like I have little sprains in my hands. I went to hit balls Thursday and

afterwards I felt a couple of fingers really spained feeling. It hurt. Now I

have a practice with some women tomorrow to hit balls and my first company golf

game Thursday for three hours. I have not told them of my condition. I am not

sure if doing this will injure my hand. Can any one give me some advice? I

want to play. I just started with golf lessons then the stiffness in my hands

started a month ago or so. Do any of you play golf still and suffer the

consequences because of the quality of life? Thank you so much. Norma from

Texas.
