Realistic targets...

[Klimski]

I don't keep a handicap score specifically, I'm just referring to roughly what I go round in. I don't have an official handicap. I'm usually between 18 and 22 over.

Step 1: get an official handicap. Step 2: get lessons. Step 3: play competitions. Step 4: Become frustrated at the lack of improvement Step 5:Keep going and finally getting better.

If you’re already making 6-7 pars a round, with lessons and practice you can improve your ball striking and consistency and get to 15-16 pars per round. Remember, you’re only 8 rounds away from scratch.

Maybe a YouTube channel documenting your improvement journey is the motivation you need.

I think once you get up to 16 pars a round you should be ambitious and aim for 20.
