I believe you are correct that the DR/- doesn't stack. So yeah, that early general feat choice certainly outshines the class abilities of the Guard Fighter class.
Aside from the mnemonic editor mentioned earlier to retrain the Enhanced Resistance feat (either switching it to one of the energy types, or replacing it entirely), you could see if the GM is willing to houserule/augment the Guard Fighter class abilities. Have those abilities grant an Energy Resistance to one type of energy instead of DR/-.
That would effectively flip/flop the DR and ER granted by the general feat and class abilities.
You could retrain either - and probably should if one energy type pops way more often than physical damage - but "ruined" seems a bit harsh.
Guard's DR isn't great, but it's not the core of the style.
Everything else is still there, and would benefit greatly from the much better DR Enhanced Resistance gives you.
If you're taking hits for your friends on top of whatever your foes already throw at you, reducing all that damage as much as possible is good.
It really depends on how your game works out, and what playstyle you're looking for, but it's not that big a waste.
Not ideal, maybe, but not terrible.
If you have a better feat in mind, or if you could make better use of a specific ER, go for it. Otherwise, it's still pretty good.

Or rather, I really wouldn't do a bodyguard character without it : you need to be alive to protect people.
The Guard soldier in my local group took Enhanced Resistance (Fire) specifically because he didn't want to interfere with his later class DR. He doesn't regret it, since the number of enemies with laser or plasma weapons has not been insignificant.
