I'll be going into my 4th season this summer...
In my first season I was shooting 120+ consistently. I struggled with tops, skulls, thins, fats, you name it. No consistency whatsoever.
My second season I decided to scrap together what money I had and buy myself some clubs. I didn't bother getting them lengthened because I didn't have the money. I was shooting 100-120 normally with the occasional low 90s round. One shot I chunked so bad I got so sick of it and I snapped my 5 iron in 2. This forced me to get my clubs lengthened and fit for me.
Last year was my full year where I had a full set of clubs and I started to pull it together. I didn't really have a standard fade/draw for a typical shot, it was kind of hit or miss, but I was hitting it toward the general area I wanted. I was shooting high 80s, low 90s pretty consistently... of course there was the 2 100+ rounds where I don't know what happened. Then again, I broke 80 with a 79 last year toward the end.
This year I'm really looking forward to improving my game... I'm leaving my job and going back to school full time so I'll have plenty of extra spare time. I'm hoping to be consistently in the 80s throughout the year and hopefully break 75. But who knows? We'll see.
