Well you certainly can't get to be really good without
practice, I agree, but lessons just aren't necessary for everyone.
As for the price being too steep, any hobby or pastime is going to take up quite a few hours a week if you're passionate about it. You can certainly become a good golfer on a regimen of practicing less than 10 hours a week and perhaps playing an average of a dozen holes a week for another 3 hours. That hardly sounds excessive.
I'm probably spending a bit more time than that on my game right now, but then, I'm already a 10, and it is paying off big. I shot a personal best last week: 73.
