Is it really important to have your left arm straight and high to have a good golf swing?

I’ve gotten lessons and tips from friends and random golfers at the driving range and they all say the same thing, try to keep your left arm straight and bring it back as far as you can. Well, I can bring it back pretty far, far enough to have the club almost parallel to the ground, but I have to slightly bend my left elbow. I can also keep my left arm totally straight, but I would only get up to a half backswing, with full torso/hip rotation. I’m new to the game of golf and I want to learn the textbook body mechanics of the swing and still be comfortable/balanced. I feel that when I swing comfortably, it’s not textbook. When I swing textbook, it’s not comfortable. Any advice/tips would help a lot. Thanks.

More important to keep the left arm straight than to be able to take it all the way back. Keeping it straight allows you to bring the club back to where it started and hit the ball squarely each time. If you really want to learn the best techniques spend $12 on Hogan’s book “Five lessons, the modern fundamentals of golf”. It will give you sound fundamentals in all aspects of the swing and you will be off to a great start. The golf swing is not a ‘comfortable’ movement for anyone until you have done it thousands of times.
