Loads this year, maybe one per month on average. Have helped me, this year, gain a handicap and score points in comps (tho not very good lately).

I booked a course of 4 at the start of the year and worked on short game and bunker play. Then I bought another course with a different pro on the full swing. Latterly I have been helped with putting and had a lesson last night. Really enjoy learning and all the time spent with PGA pro's.
 
Only 1 for me, but I think there should be another [special] box to tic as 20+ won't tell the full story, although we might get it chapter & verse anyway :whistle:
 
Had one on Weds night and saw good results from it today.

I need to get more room in my back swing , move the ball back in stance a smidge and stop club head overtaking .

Drove the ball really well today and two lip outs stopped me being one under . Hit some great irons into par 3's ,ball starting lower but then climbing and first three all within 15 foot , alas just the one birdie from 5 foot ;)
 
I have lessons mostly in the winter, I find they help me a lot, I will have the odd one during the season if I think there is something that needs sorting out.

I voted for 6-10
 
Ive had 4 ,3 at the start of the year and one 2 weeks ago just booked my Trackman practise session which goes with the lesson package on monday
 
I had one at the start of the year to try and resolve a hosel issue, identified the main culprit and they're few and far between now. (Well, maybe one every other round. :o)

My biggest issue this year has been between the ears, all I've been able to see were the bad outcomes of any shot I stood over, but I hope that even this is improving now and next year I aim to do batter than this year by buffering more than once.
 
1 for me in the middle of summer,could not believe how far forward in my stance the ball was,got a video and a checklist from the pro which helped.

It was a playing lesson 20 mins. On the range then on for a 6 hole lesson which was good parred the first 4 holes ,being a 18h/c he might have thought I am a better player than I actually am.
 
None this year, but 6 lessons and 2 nine hole playing lessons last year laid the foundations for a handicap cut of 4 over the last 18 months
 
I've had two lessons this year. One was on my full swing only, and the other was a bit of everything. I am striking the ball a bit better as a result, but no spectacular improvements. Achieved an 0.7 cut in handicap.
 
Not so much as lessons more like keeping an eye on that I'm not over doing it or slipping back into old habits. I find its good to understand the what's and why's and be able to correct it if it's going awry mid round.

6-10 during the year.
 
Never had a lesson (my swing shows it tho, its rough!)

Came back to play golf this year, then broken my collar bone and then had a month after recovering from a broken collar bone, when I played the best tee to green golf I ever have(I mean I was hitting about 14 Green in regulation, it was like a dream!!)...but as quick as it was there its gone again, so back to scrambling for me!!

Keep toying with having a video lesson, but not sure as I play for fun really.

I've had 3 in July and August. After 2 I can hit the ball better than I ever could and have since finished 6th, 2nd and 1st in 3 board comps.
Go see your pro!
 
Roughly one a month for me. Definite improvement in my game, even managed to win a club comp! Playing partners, especially those that were unlucky to accompany me when I'd have struggled to introduce the banjo to the cow's rear quarters have commented on the difference in my play. Now all I need to do is sort the area between my ears and the job's a good one!
