I agree Ric. A simple answer but with so many implications. Here are some that come immediately to mind:
The difficulty of teaching golf well. So many "professionals" reach for the quick fix. The student does not need to struggle fixing the underlying swing problems, the student sees immediate, albeit short term results, the student is primed for a return visit when it all goes wrong. Easy money. Much more difficult to acquire the knowledge. experience and equipment required to diagnose fundamental swing problems and then set the student on a path that eventually solves those problems while still providing some good immediate results.
The difficulty in learning golf well. Changing, fundamentally, the swing you have now requires commitment, time, and a lot of self-honesty. Are you truly embedding the fundamental concepts or are you simply patching up the old swing with the easy bits and pieces of what BM showed you? Golfing badly while making fundamental changes is no fun and hard on the ego. Can you stay with it without bailing?
Golf magazines, instructional internet sites and your golf partners dispensing advice without any idea of the fundamental problems with your swing. All of it worse than useless. Result: "Tennis anyone?" or, "I need a new set of clubs".
