Don't go beating people over the head with an outdated dictionary. We all know that Urban Dictionary is the official source now.

Wasn't there an English guy on here documenting his path to playing at a tour level?

That was @Nosevi he hasn’t been here since 2017. His gamegolf name is also Nosevi. But I don’t know how his adventure went. Think he has the same nice words for for @iacas as Erik has for him. 😀

Yeah, but mine are grounded in reality. His are grounded in fantasy, particularly the part where I "hacked" his GAME Golf account. 😛

Pete Iveson. You can look him up if you want, but I'm sure that you'll find he's accomplished nothing.

Just a guess.

I think the best one was the guy who said he had no backup plan which meant that he had no option other than success.

Yeah, you hear about the occasional successful person who did that.  But we don't usually hear from the people who went that route and weren't successful, although I suspect there are more of them.

I ended up in the same career I wanted in my late teens.  Occasionally, I tell someone this and I come to find out they assume I had no backup plan.  I had two backup plans, both of which I explored as necessary.  One of them I even worked in for a year when it seemed my first choice wasn't going to happen!  None of them are related to golf (which I had barely heard of as a teen).

Necessity will always breed a back-up plan.

I never have

After the fact, perhaps.
