How far does he usually hit the ball?

A lot of his weight stays on his rear foot, if he would follow-through he would have a better outcome.

Here is a question and I hope it is not divisive.

Would you rather take lessons and have a technically sound swing or would you rather be self-taught and have a technically unsound swing – an ugly swing – BUT score better over all in the game of golf – say by 6 strokes…..

I have been taking lessons all summer and may take them in the winter and will take the again next summer – and I need everyone of em. However, I also know some scratch golfers who look technically sound – how have had very few if any lessons. I don’t know how “schooled” Dan Daly is…. I remember him talking about lessons confusing his game, and another pro – working with But Harmen – and until that point she had no lessons.

I would rather have a learned swing and a higher score, although I have a lot of respect for those who have done it on their own and achieved great results.
