What I learned is that my swing is
sound enough to allow me to strike the ball well enough for 8 consecutive holes of golf, and that tells me that it's not just a fluke. And that means that I don't have to worry about the fundamentals to the extent that I do. I don't mean that there's no room for improvement, but at least I don't have to approach each shot with the inner question, "Am I doing this right?"

Also in your case the "faffing" seems to be too many instructions at once, golf is a game you must play one round at a time, each round work on something different to engrain fundimentals, then every now and then play a few rounds without thought at all.

Yes, it can be pretty destructive to be trying to manage elbows and wrists and knees and hips and planes. It may be better to think about things external to myself: the course, the slope of the fairway, the position of the flag, the wind...
