Next practice, you want to develop a swing that will actually hit the ball, it may not look the best, but it should feel good, and I know how unnatural you can feel with your knees bent, your butt tucked under and your head down, duh! What is natural about all this. Just do the best you can and try to develop some style about you, this is where a good golf instructor comes in, he can take a look at you and your swing and start correcting your stance etc. When you find a stance that feels comfortable and allows you to hit the ball - go with it. Don't jump around from method to method or even from instructor to instructor every time you have a bad game, if you want total confusion this is the direct way to it.
You'll find if you practice enough, muscle memory sets in and you will be doing all these gyrations automatically and probably hitting a pretty good ball.
