Head Pro
I've been playing for almost two years now and since I started I must have taken at least 30 lessons. As a result I managed to go down from 22 to 12 but playing once a week now I don't seem able to go any lower.
Probably because of the lesson my swing looks ok, I had it filmed, analyzed, shown in slow motion and even tough there are obviously some minor flaws the pro says it LOOKS good.
At my club though there are at least 10 people with the most horrible swing but a hc lower than mine and better player than me all together. The other side of the coin is that I see people with good looking swings being stuck on 20 or so.
I played with this guy yesterday who probably does all the things your are told not to do, out of plane back swing, collapses on downswing, putts with the ball in driver position, chips with the feet 90 degress to the shoulders and still he plays off 9 and shot a 77 (par 71) gross yesterday. He's an extreme but I see many very similar cases.
So what is that? Natural talent? Then if this chap takes a couple of lesson he'll probably be on telly in 6 months...
