Yep, that's one of the important questions in golf if you want to get better.

If I was just starting, I would ask potential teachers to lay out their lesson packages plans for me in advance. I would ask for them to layout a corresponding practice schedule that works with their lesson plan. I would ask, based on these plans, how good could I potentially get?

You might find that reaching or coming to close to your potential requires a lot more practice time than you can commit to.

Waaay back when I started getting serious about getting better at golf, an instructor told me that to reach my potential, I needed to swing a club every day. I mean make good meaningful swings every single day. I had a net in my garage and lived walking distance from the course and I still didn't do it every day, it's harder than you might think.

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
