The Dan Plan - 10,000 Hours to Become a Pro Golfer (Dan McLaughlin)

[Todd Ruggere]

Is that event that Dan is playing today? I'm dying to see how he does . I personally don't think he will break 80.

According to his last blog post, he's working on an ebook.

Yes, He tees off at 1:10

I had one.. for about 2 months lol. My buddy took over a course and they re-named it so it was a technicality.. it was only a 67.

At the end of the day, I could maybe convince people here that I am a +4 at least lol...

Lol, but, seriously, don't do it. Your character is more important than anything else you do.

I promise I wont.. I'm not that guy. I think that is why I have been mistaken(my opinion) for a jerk. Too honest I guess.

That's a hard lesson to learn. Being too honest sometimes has the reverse effect of showing your character. Your game is really good, you just need to let the committee make the decisions and just lay back and enjoy your golf.

Go Dan!  Win this beast!!

I don't think that was the issue. The issue was unnecessary persistence and snarky accusations.

People are making the same accusations on this thread.. no one says anything lol.

The two circumstances are not even comparable. If you can't see that on your own, I'm not sounding it out for you.

People have said if he doesn't break 80 I don't believe his handicap is 2.3.. Then we have people saying I can totally believe that a guy can shoot a 90 with a +2.3.. How is that not comparable? They are both playing in a qualifier of some sort with the same pressure.

I'm new to this thread. Haven't been on this site in quite some time. I'm rooting for Dan, but I think he has a much better chance of shooting 90+ than shooting somewhere around 76. I'm not sold on his 2 or 3 handicap. Hopefully he can prove me wrong.

I don't see him doing it either.. he has said that his average rounds have been 74-80... then add tourney conditions and pressure usually its about 3-5 strokes higher than a normal round. So I am thinking he will fall into the 79-85 range. But its good to start somewhere. Tourneys will make him better.

Really? Why not give it a rest.

This is like christmas. I can't believe we get hole by hole updates. My guess is 86 by rooting for anything under 80.

Here's a guy doing a sort of Dan plan on his own dime. His earlier junior experience is sketchy, but he's not using any pretense of proving a hypothesis and wandering into pseudo science land. If what he says is true, 2 months to break 80 and shot 77 1st round in a web.com event after 2 years of full time playing after quitting his job. I'd rather follow this guy if he blogged.

This guy is at least moving to the right area to golf, So. Cal. of course! Palm Desert!

Seriously, this guy has a better chance than Dan with another 10,000 hours added. I think we called it "talent".

I don't think we do.  We'll get to see hisfull hole-by-hole score, but we're still (I suspect) not going to find out anything until after he's completely finished.

At least that's how it works in the tournaments I play in.  There certainly aren't any live scorers following us around, but after the round the organizers upload everything into bluegolf.com and so there is a record of everything.
