Is it enough to have lessons once a week for someone totally new

[Quietus]

Planning to get into golf again. Last time I played was 15 years ago when I was really really young (like <10). I'm planning to get coaching but because the prices are a bit steep, the plan is to have it once a week and just hit the driving range by myself a couple of other days per week. 

Would that be okay or is it really necessary to have more than 1 session per week?

Goal isn't to be pro or anything. Just good enough to play on an actual course without delaying anyone or looking horrible. I can aim for better handicaps once I reach that point.

Once a month (or two) can be plenty.

Even if you're completely new? I get how it'd be plenty for someone with their fundamentals intact as they could work on it themselves then get adjustments every month. But for someone like me, the worry is losing what I learn one session if I don't have another session quickly after.

I'd give myself time to work on whatever was learned in the last lesson. Spend range and course time applying what you've learned. This time can vary person to person.

If you practice correctly, then yes. It can take a month to get a priority piece engrained.  Check out this thread on how to practice.
