I'm not a low handicap, but my opinion is that you will have a hard time making swing changes after your lessons if you don't practice to build the muscle memory. Also, golf is very much about feel; I think you have to be practicing frequently to develop that feel.

I totally agree with this. I got into golf a year ago and have taken lessons regularly during that time. I think I've made decent progress over that time, and I attribute it to the fact that I practice 5-6 days per week. During the winter most of that is using a mat and net in my garage, since most of my practice time is during the evenings. Because of the lessons I'm always working on something and my swing has been evolving over time. So I'm a bit paranoid that if I don't practice for 3-4 days I'll loose the feel and the muscle memory. I don't feel the need to put in really long sessions - some days only 30 minutes, but at least enough to get the feel of the swing.
