I hope I did not violate thread protocol, but I though something Brian addressed elsewhere led me to expand the topic.
OK, Brian, excellent presentation on how to conduct an individual lesson. However, I infer from many sudents on your forum, that many of us have long term goals, and want to set up a plan for how to get there. In my case, I am a 5.2 and I really want to see a 1.0 or less after my name. Here are the issies I am wrestling with:
1) Should I be taking periodic on-hour lessons, or are multi-hours lessons the way to go?
2) Should having a Trackman be a sine qua non for choosing an instructor?
3) Until I was shut down by injuries, I was dying to send my instructor, John Graham multiple videos of my devlopment, but always felt guilty that I would be taking time from his business and research. What do other instructors feel about this?
4) Is there a general rule of them as to what percentage of the lessons should be dedicated to the shortgame/putting versus the long game?
5) Do you or the other instrcutors or experts (think Richie3jack) believe that taking a periodic lesson from another instructor is good simply to get a different perspective?
6) Do any students who have been down this road have some insight they would be willing to relate to us?
Any info will be greatfully appreciated.

What is Real Golf Teaching?
It starts with watching the student and asking questions...
The teacher needs to watch the contact, the ball flight, the clubface, the Left Arm Flying Wedge, hand path, and pivot....but he might need less of these.
The teacher then needs to DIG IN AND CHANGE THINGS, but only those that effect the D-Plane and contact, unless there needs to be a side-step.
Knowing how much time you have, FIX THEM now, and don't bastardize.
And then, if the student approves, keep doing it.
