I just finished my second lesson this morning (not with the same guy as you though). I seem to be in about the same scoring range as you. First lesson was pitch/chip/put. Today was full swing for an hour. He didn't totally change my swing. Just watched me swing, fixed my grip some and gave me pointers on how to fix the things I was doing wrong. By the end of the hour I was striking it 20 times better, just not consistently. I was doing some pretty small things wrong, and it wasn't complicated to fix, however it does feel incredibly uncomfortable. Will take some practice to feel normal swinging the correct way.

My mindset going in was to just shut my mouth and try to soak up as much information as I could. It seems to be working, but I'm going to wait till I finish the 4 lessons to take my game out to try a full 18 holes.

I find this odd. From Jack Nicklaus book a high handicapper needs to work hardest on the second shot or shot into the green. Hitting the green will give you the largest reduction of strokes per round. I would say that pitching and chipping is a good second though
