How to "manage" my golf coach?

Ehhh not necessarily. I used to get golf lessons, and some of the fixes would momentarily make me feel like I'm hitting the ball really well. But I'd come back to the range another day and I'd have another issue I can't figure out and I'm right back where I started.

But when I got a real swing coach, who evaluates what you have and works with your natural swing mechanics to get you to a swing that feels natural to you but has the fundamentals of a good swing so you can play naturally. It's considerably more expensive though and you really don't see the true benefits of it unless you stick with it for a few months or longer and see them regularly.

For what it's worth tho I have had 3 or 4 swing coaches that were all good, but it took me a year or so to find one that fits well with me. And it took some time to really see the benefits. But I'm talking in a year going from mid-low 90s to mid 70s. And I can go months without really playing and still not shoot over 85.
