I'm also a guy that started golf well into my adult life and taken quite a few lessons with maybe 4-6 coaches, so I think I have something to add to this conversation. I started with one of those Golftec bundles, and, while it was helpful, I certainly did not need anywhere the number of data points they provided. Hip/Shoulder Turn degrees, hip slide, hand path movements. My swing massively improved, but it wasn't because of the tech -- unless you count a pool noodle as such. My next coach was a $60/lesson teaching pro with no tech to speak of that kept things very simple. I took a big leap with her because we focused big on the things that were hurting my ball flight at the time (majorly closed clubface). I was clear with her that I wanted to improve my swing overall and just wasn't looking for bandaids. We went slow and progressed through my issues. I'm at a point now where I'm both more knowledgeable about golf and own my swing where the tech is mainly more of a check on what I'm doing. Through my current coaches help, I have parameters where I want my swing to live and trackman is great to make sure my mechanical movements or changes are actually making those numbers better. But generally, we don't talk about granular data during a lesson. He provides an idea, I come up with a feel that I think captures that idea, and we try to meet in the middle somewhere. If you're anything like me, leave the analytical thinking at the door and ask yourself "Am I hitting the ball better during these lessons?" IMO that's way more important than any data that can be provided early on.
