When I began lessons a few months ago, I established a handicap goal of 15 which was an improvement of 7 strokes. I'm excited to announce that I officially reached that goal today (15.4 GHIN). I am starting back taking lessons this week at least once per month. I am going to ask my coach what he thinks my next handicap goal should be. I want to be realistic. It may even go up during the winter but I plan to work hard to lower it even more. I'm going to really start focusing on my short game now. Do you have a handicap goal? It seems to really help me to have a goal.
