I'd pretty much pass on any golf improvement gimmicks. Ever see "Tin Cup" when Kevin Costner gets a case of the shanks and tries every gimmick known to man all at the same time? Try another lesson with a different pro, sometimes you pick someting differnt up. Also, I would recommend only playing 9 holes at a time. many people lose focus over 18 holes, and you'd probably be better off not having to unlearn fatigue-induced habits the next time out. Also try to just focus on one thing at a time (head down, or arms straight, whatever) no one can conciously keep track of every part of their swing mechanics at once, the pros go a great deal on muscle memory. May be try picking up a couple golfing magazines, every once in a while they have good tidbits for amateur duffers.
If any of this seems to make any sense I appologize; I usually hit about in the upper 40's for 9 myself, but i do like it.
