However, if you play 20 rounds in 5 years, well, it'll still reflect how your game has changed -for better or worse-, and won't effect it terribly much.
I would have to say that you also have to look at the other side, which may be as much if not more realistic.

Say a decent golfer want to revisit their swing and take lessons to make it to a higher level and the bottom falls out for about 10 rounds. Which is probably pretty common and I would bargain to guess many on here have been through similar circumstances. Under your scenario they would make a killing after that time. Just being the devil's advocate.
