BC85,
It's a long road, and worth every minute of the travel if you want to develop a swing for the rest of your life. No quick fixes, and no band-aids.
IMHO, TGM is the key to learning how to develop a stroke, and Alignment Golf is the key to learning TGM. You will need to add an instructor who understands TGM to the equation for faster progress. What you are learning from the videos will be a huge help in understanding what your teacher is looking for...

I feel quite lost and confused at the moment. I was hoping that "Alignment Golf" was going to be the key to understanding how to build my swing pattern. However, I don't understand how to progress from basic motion, to acquired motion, to total motion. In addition, I don't understand how to identify what mechanics I am performing incorrectly. I know that mechanics are meant to produce feel and feel is meant to reproduce mechanics, but if I don't know how to perform the mechanics in the first place then it means very little.
Ultimately, it has been a frustrating 24 hours and I am sick of seeing out-to-in left pointing divots. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
