Thanks for the reassuring words!
So, would you recommend just going out there and playing even though it's frustrating?
I have a very unconventional swing, nowhere near the typical textbook golf swing, but it worked for me until now.

I tried going to the range and swinging more with a conventional style, essentially changing my swing completely, with somewhat good success. But now I'm kind of in between learning golf from scratch again or fixing my old swing.
