To me there are a few simple questions
1- how much time can you allocate to your golf for weekly practice as well as playing?
It's pointless having a lesson if you can only practice once a month
2- what level do you want to get to?
This kinda of goes hand in hand with number 1, if your shooting 100 and you want to shoot low 80's, I'd estimate a lesson every 6-8 weeks with a good range session at a minimum to groove the changes your pro has tried to make in the last lesson
3- why are you shooting 100
If you strike the ball relatively well, a course lesson with a decent golfer could well improve your scores just but a change in your course management
My ex boss what a key example of all three of the above. He played off 24 and had a game twice a month. He simply did not have any available time in his life to allocate for practice so lessons would not have helped, myself and his brother who plays off 5 had a few games after work over a few and we changed his approach to a round. He dropped to 17 i think but that's where he maxed out. He had simply found a level where he had no more time to invest but on good days was more than happy with sub teen scores.
If available time is no issue, our pro offers a great package , 4 x 30 min lessons and then a 9 hole playing lesson on the course for £100. This is ideal with one lesson every 4-6 weeks for me, but in days like Sunday I didn't play and had almost 3 hours at the range just working on stuff we had covered in the last lesson
