I think there is a great deal of marketing. And yes golfer's seem to be willing to do just about anything to get lower scores, of course the last thing the golfer will do is take lessons, buying equipment, books, videos, training aids seem to come before instruction.

Golfers seem to be a more DIY (Do It Yourself) mentality than they are for a structured approach. And there is nothing wrong with this, more than likely it may take a life time to achieve....

I believe that most golf instructors that you find locally have good intentions. Now do they have the knowledge?

As far as what is right for your swing, well you need to identify an instructor that will work on your swing, not just try 'his method'.

It really comes down to getting the club to the ball that will produce a good shot, how, well there are many ways.

Also a golf stroke does not make a golf game. I see a lot of good golf strokes, but they don't know how to play and score.
