Need Advice from teaching professionals

[golferdad]

My son plays collegiate golf for a D1 program in the SEC.   He is a pretty good golfer.    His short game and putting are phenomenal and I would say on the pga tour level.    However for a long time, he has struggled to be a good ball striker generally hitting 6 to 11 fairways and 6-10 greens in regulation.  This is the big reason his short game became good since he needed the short game.

It seems like nobody can figure out his ball striking issues and we have seen several golf professionals in the past.  For the past 2.5 years he has relied on the advice of the collegiate coach who in the past was rated highly as an instructor himself.   However after 2.5 years still no significant change.  The collegiate coach is focused on the team and all the players as he should be but this means my son may not get the amount of attention he needs to fix his issues.     He works so hard (4-5 hours a day) on his game and gets discouraged that its not getting better.  If he could ball strike like the other players, he would consistently be challenging for tournament titles, etc.

What should I do?

Should he be seeing improvement by now?

any advice from golf teaching professionals would be appreciated.

Do you have any video of his swing?  If so, post it in the "member swings" section.  There are a lot of people here that should have some good insight.
