Self teaching is rewarding in it's own right, but there are some things it's near impossible to progress without someone else actually looking at your swing and knowing more than you. 1 lesson could save you an entire season or two of struggles.
DON't watch youtube golf, and if you do.. just pick one or two instructors and ignore the rest. Youtube golf prioritizes creating new content vs. actually teaching methodically, so you'll just get info overload and contradicting tips quite a bit.
This is a great deal on a driver BTW. Def. worth jumping on if you need one.
As far as ignoring your driver if you hit it shorter than your 3 wood, I personally am not a believer in "just ignore it, play your other clubs" (with the exception of scoring rounds, like in a tournament). Hitting a driver is a fundamental part of playing golf, and yes you can score better if you actively ignore all parts of your game that you can't execute, but that only gets you so far. I don't personally understand the intent to want a lower score while simultaneously ignoring your weak areas. If there's something that's fundamentally off with your game (i.e. your driver is shorter than all your fairways), become a student of the swing and understand why. Don't run from it.
Statistically speaking, hitting longer drives is also the single most effective way of dropping strokes (unlike the popular belief that it's with the putter). Extra 20-30 yards not only shaves an approach shot, but also gets you closer to the pin on approach. Most holes are par 5's and 4's, and every one of those holes is an opportunity to shave a stroke with a solid tee shot.

Play to your swing and your game, sometimes a shortened driver, a mini driver or 3 wood should be off the tee. Your score will improve more worrying about improving your hits and avoiding your misses 💪🏼

For a beginner, banging your head to chase the extra 20-30 yards while simultaneously trying to figure out why you slice or duck hook is not positive advice. I've watched guys (continue to) struggle with breaking 90s because everyone wants to let the big dog eat when all they have to do is hit their shorter wood 200-230 down the fairway.
When you are a mid handicap like we are OF COURSE learning how to hit driver is crucial for getting into single digit index, but that's not the same context as the majority of golfers.

My earlier point was that if people took time to understand the fundamentals of a swing vs. hitting bad shots and acquiescing to them, they'd be better off in the long term (both in score and having fun), but I guess it just depends on your priorates. Being a consistent mid handicapper is good enough for some and perfectly fine.
For example, if you take a driver, and hit it "30%=50%" power.. practically a chip shot, it WILL go 150 yards (total) straight. easily. Almost anyone can do this with little practice, but then "Golf" happens and then we try and kill it, bad mechanics happen, etc. etc. Add slightly more power, and most people can easily roll a 200 yd driver total distance down the fairway.
You're right in the sense that if you're just not hitting the club right, keep it in the bag for a round or two. I'm not advocating to just push through horrible striking on a club.

That being said, the driver looked really nice overall and the head cover provided was solid. Having an adjustable wrench provided is also a nice touch considering the price point.
