I started working at a golf course in the summers four years ago and have been lucky to have a few professionals give me advice. I wouldn't say any of them really helped "significantly", but when you add up all of the little tidbits of advice they've given me, it really adds up to a ton of strokes.
What's given me the best results though is getting out on the course and playing golf with all types of people. Playing from different tees, playing with friends, strangers, professionals. There's no substitute for just playing a lot of golf.
Over the past few years I've gotten my handicap down from around 20 to as low as 7. When I started I was thrilled to break 90, now I'm shooting in the 70's multiple times a year. I also play 45-55 times a year which I know isn't realistic for most people.
