Good piece on helping your instructor help you. Great points on trust and expectations. This point stuck out to me:

3. Looks can be dangerous – One of the things that I have learned from teaching with Trackman is that impact alignments are always more important than the look of a swing.

I have mixed feelings about this. Some obvious things like weight forward/extension I can self-diagnose without having to go back to my instructor, but the subtler things, that's where I trust the instructors way more than I do myself.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

The problem with articles like this is that they're not an either/or situation. You can get the "looks" via a camera AND the impact alignments (either via watching the ball flight and/or a launch monitor).
