Congrats! good stuff.
I have a similar story. Dabbled in TGM last year, took one lesson with Ted. Practiced drills over the winter (grip, pressure points). Took 2 more lessons with Ted this year (so far).
Played a few weeks ago, played about normal - didn't execute what I had learned too well, but there were shades of straighter shots, soild compression. Kept practicing, range time.

Played again last week, started out with a 43 on the front - was executing TGM learnings better as the day went on.
Scored a 37 on the back, (my best 9 ever...6 pars, one bird, 2 bogeys) for a total of 80...short course, but I was straight and was hitting greens.
And all in all a very ho-hum day, I was not making any long putts or chip-ins or getting great breaks - just solid hits.

Looking forward to more!
