Use the secondary attack of the sword against golem preceded by a parry, assuming you have a good shield or buckler. It probably doesn't do as much damage as a blunt weapon due to their resistances, but it only takes a few hits, and, if you're going to use sword you want to practice that attack as well.

FWIW, you can 1-shot fuling easily with that attack, which would make getting through plains much easier.
