Been playing inconsistently for 11 years. Currently play to a 13, have been stuck there for awhile, but am going to work hard on my short game and see if I can get below a 10.
I am similar in my dreams. I used to be an 8 handicap, but I am currently a 14 handicap and want to be a 10. A good short game would easily cut 4 strokes off my handicap. The rest I can blame on my parents.
