I'm only a local and provincial amateur tourney hack but....

I like the fact you have goals and have decided to set up a plan of action to achieve them. That is the first and best step. Congratulations.

I have three comments......

-5 handicap is good enough to win a club tourney maybe but try to get it down.
-short game 100 yards and in, is what matters most score wise. By far. I cant overstate this.
-play as many tournaments as you can. Its a different game tournament golf. You have to get to the point where though you are nervous , you like it, love it, want to do it again and again. Its a cruel game, you have to be able to take the lumps , the losses , the failures that tournament play brings. It takes reps to toughen your skin. The five handicap who is tournament tough will beat the five handicap , "vanity cap" club player when it matters, every time.
