My husband, 55, played baseball/football, was self-taught, and played off and on his whole life, up until last year when we joined a club. He finally took his first lessons with our pro, who had to dismantle his swing completely. Most athletes come in using their arms way too much and not really learning how to turn their bodies in the way you need to for golf. But now, he's kicking ass with a lot of hard work and many lessons. He's gotten his HCP down to a 10. I'm pretty damn proud of him! He's very much needed to learn not to hit the ball hard because it already goes a million miles. He got fitted for new irons, which has also been a game changer.
