I have thought of doing a similar type thread CB. My goal is to be a + handicap. For some crazy reason I think I can get there. I look forward to following along man!
Good luck on your journey. I was gonna go the same route but decided I would rather spend my evenings with my wife. I was a scratch golfer once and have no doubts I could reach there again but the time investment is just not worth it to me. Good luck on your endeavor sir it won't be easy.
