A golfer can be a good ball-striker but a bad player. Being a good ball striker is only half the battle, using good strategy is the other half.
Most bad shots are made worst by using poor judgement on the following shot. If in the rough, don’t go for the green, play the safe shot in the fairway to set up an easy approach shot. Most of the time, making a good decision can far outweigh making a good golf shot !

No matter how good the instructor may be, they cannot force you to practice. Once you are made to understand your swing problem/s, you need to work them out on the practice range. Your instructor can’t do it for you, you have to do it. If you are not willing to spend hours on the practice range, taking golf lessons is a waste of time and money, furthermore, most instructors are not enthusiastic about teaching unproductive students.
In most cases, a good practice session can be as much fun as a round of golf.
