10,000 hours goes by way faster in a 3 minute montage. I'd go that route instead.

I think Erik should give you one of those awesome Sand Trap Tour Staff bags that he gives some of the supporting members as a sign of support.  I love mine and the 3 point Izzo harness is really comfy for my caddy.  I think it would be boss with all the hybrids that are needed for the Champions Tour.  Just think of all the headcovers and endorsement opportunities.  The sky's the limit!

Well I certainly am now

I wish I had a montage for the last minute Thanksgiving shopping I'm going to do later.

I just read in Golf Digest that Shorty still hasn't called Greg Norman for advice. The Shark is waiting . . .

Instead of putting in all the time and work, why don't you just find a tournament that has some open qualifying? That way you can just get in a tournament via a qualifier, win the tournament, then you will get your tour status. That would be much easier than doing a q-school.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Or just go to your local waffle house and start acting like the multiple major winner that you are to become.  That will show everyone and jump start the soon to be media frenzy that I have been referring to as "Shorty Mania".

As far as te 10,000 hours goes, I've decided that quality time THINKING about golf has to be part of that. It's like musicians thinking about and memorising scores when they're travelling.

It's getting easier all the time. Over the last three years I reckon I've spent 4 hours a day thinking about golf.

Half way there already!

If you can dream it, you can be it, and I'm dreaming BIG!!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Testing has already begun on the prototype "action figures".

It's a work in progress.

I think you can do it man.


Put over 50% of your time in the short game. Pros practice their short games for 8 hours everyday. You need to be able to get up and down 85% of the time.

Pros also make 95% of 10 foot putts, so make sure to practice your putting a lot.

I hate to say it, but if you can´t carry your 6 iron 200 yards you have 0 chance of making it.

I also suggest bathing in ice water everyday to make you mentally strong. I got this tip from David Toms after he shot the course record at my club (a 58 using only a shovel and baseball bat as clubs)

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

Considering that your swing speed is 126mph and you hit your driver 330 yards and carry your 3 hybrid 250 yards, I'm 100% sure you have the distance to go pro.  Stop talking about it and do it already!

I like it  - but I think I should be wearing "old school" golf clothing. Thanks. Could you let me see the next version by Friday?

The grills are cool - and I'm seriously thinking about getting some. It's bound to psche out some of the competition on the practice fairway!

I'm shooting for the super seniors tour. Only 2.5 years before I'm 60, so that should give me plenty of time to get my game ready. Would like to win enough money so I could afford one of those 12,000 acre ranches like Greg Norman owns in Colorado.

I'll keep you guys up to date on my progress.

As a show of confidence, you should start stockpiling weapons so that when you live next to Greg, you can go shooting with him. I am calling Feherty right now so that he can have first dibs on documenting your meteoric rise. Man, this thread is really giving me hope!  Thanks guys.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
