It’s not all about the swing.

My entire point, but you were able to reduce it to 6 words.
For the average golfer, it has nothing to do with the "swing". When's the last time you saw someone hit a golf ball with his backswing? It's all about what the club is doing in the 6" before it hits the ball and the inch or 2, after.
For the average golfer, It's all about moving the ball forward in a reasonably consistent direction, aimed at a target that will keep you out of trouble.
Unfortunately, every teacher seems to want to teach a "golf swing", instead of how to play golf.
