I think it is particalurly easy to get lost for us who picked up golf as adults and don't have a god given talent for the game.
I think you need to be able to feel the difference between good and bad.
But at the same time it is very difficult to feel what's causing trouble when things aren't right. So you need a geometrical approach with good routines, keys and check points etc to get in the ball park. Then you can use feel for the fine tuning, IMO.
I am an expert at feeling the difference between good and bad (shots).

That is a feeling you should hold on to, nurture and listen to. I truly believe having a feeling of what's going on beats everything geometrical - if you take it serious.
