As a newer golfer (~ 1 year), lessons made a huge difference for me. But not all lessons are created equal...

I didn't get much if anything from the first set of lessons with a certain pro. He talked and joked a lot, which may work for some people, but was mostly distracting for me.

The second pro I tried had a very different style. Low key and all about getting it done. I was able to focus on improving my full swing during the lessons, plus had a clear vision of what to practice between lessons. He also gave me a couple putting tips that affected my score dramatically. Mostly 3-putts became mostly 1- or 2-putts, you do the math.

So yes, I recommend lessons, but choose the pro carefully. Preferably one with a free eval of your swing before the first paid lesson.
