On the off chance you were at Hidden Creek driving range around 11 am EDT today getting a golf lesson from your friend, please for the your own safety and sanity forget everything he was telling you after each swing and get a lesson. If you can't afford lessons, just figure it out on your own because it couldn't possibly be worse than all the crazy shit he was telling you to do.

Edit: To add some examples

• Move down toward the ball
• bend your knees more and keep them bent the same the whole swing
• connect your hands to your trail hip
• lean toward the target
• try it the same as before but a half swing without moving your wrists
• keep your weight balance on both feet the whole time

The real issue was that after each swing (about 20 that I overheard) he gave a different direction. Even if each new direction was correct, that is a horrible way to try and teach someone golf.
