To have a great Golf Swing needs more time and effort that 99.99% of golfers are willing to dedicate.
You do not need a great golf swing to play great golf, you need great golf skills to play great golf.
A consistent motion that looks terrible but has good impact alignments combined with a great short game will almost always beat a "pretty" swing with no "game".
Ask Jim Furyk, Lee trevino, Miller Barber, Bruce Lietzke, and any other "goofy" swinger for a game.
BTW, Brian Gay is a better ball striker than before but he has stayed on tour all of these years because he is one of the best ever around the green.
I saw Mr. Gay on the 8th hole at Aronimink on Sunday.

The hole is 235 yards, a par three, and falls down the hill by what seemed like a 10 story building as I walked down.
The back pin placement was about 6 yards or so from every downslope which was shaved like the green itself. Rolling down the hill would bring you very close to the downslopes of hole 10 and as much as 10 more yards from the pin.
Brians's first shot barely rolled off the green. His second shot looked to be about 10 feet from the hole and he made the putt! I would've been happy with a five on that hole and was amazed any of the pros parred the hole. It was incredible!
