Dave,
How much have you tried the drill where you hit from your knees?
How many separate sessions/days?
How many shots per session?

I've only been to the range once since hearing about the drills. Hitting the 6 iron from my knees was tough and I felt weird and a bit self conscious out there doing it. Needless to say, I moved on to a less embarrassing drill quickly.

I know I shouldn't expect great results right away, but I still got bummed out because now it seems like my "game" has completely gone to the crapper ever since I tried to improve.

Just recently I was told by a friend whose opinion I respect that taking lessons is a total waste of time. He said that each instructor has their own vision of what makes a perfect swing and that I'll just be hearing contradictory things the whole time. Be natural was his advice.
On the other hand, I had been told by many others to get instruction ASAP. I still haven't decided what to do.
