The golf swing is extremely non-intuitive for several reasons, not the least of which is the physics of trying to swing a hunk of metal at the end of a 3-foot rod around your body at 100mph. Fixing one thing will often send something else out of whack. Improving the golf swing requires system-level analysis, trying new things to see what else is affected, and then fixing the regressions.
"Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.”
Sure, but it requires tidy increments of effort and practice. At least according to advice from a reddit thread about golf[1].

But maybe practice with silver or copper necklaces first, or you’ll waste time and money for no good reason.
