I take lessons from the head pro at my club a few times per year. Unlike many of them I have encountered, he is actually both a good player and a good teacher. Has a full setup indoors with trackman and cameras etc during the winter, and thats when I like to go, plus its cheaper. I always get a bit worse scoring wise after lessons while I implement the changes, so I like to do it during the winter then by springtime I am getting pretty close, and by summer I am fully ready to go.
As a side note, with the amount many golfers (me included) spend on new equipment trying to improve, they would be much better served spending it on lessons. A new driver that costs $400 is probably like 4-5 lessons with a good instructor and I guarantee you'll see more improvement than from just the new driver.
Just have to find a good instructor, be patient, and be willing to make changes and get worse before getting better. In a few years I have cut my handicap in half from a 12 down to a 5/6 and a lot of that is due to lessons.
