Lessons vs Self-Study

My swing may not look as I took lessons from several instructors for years. Once a week from 2011 to 2014 and from 2018 to 2020 before pandamic. In my basic mind, a teaching pro is the god of golf. I just followed what they said. I didn’t try to learn golf by myself, because there were many ways to hit balls and I didn’t have enough knowledge to tell right or wrong. All instructors had different ways and believed their own ways were right. Now I realize how ignorant I was of golf. I knew almost nothing about golf. It needs a life time learning.

The more I learn about golf, the more I feel I need lessons again. When I go back to lessons after pandamic, lessons will be more efficient after having more knowledge on golf.

It is funny all I tried to change my driver swing recently was from a fade to a draw. Unintentionally, I have a draw for irons and a fade for the driver through years. It takes a long long time to make any little change.

At this moment, I focused on a steady head during takeaway. Still, this was the best try I could do today.
Most my fade balls carry more than 150 yards. Maybe, it is ok to keep a fade at this moment, focusing more on reducing slices.
