His plan is 6 hours a day for 6 years. I read the article and I think the guy can do it. First he has convinced one of the best Coaches no one has heard of outside of the Portland in Chris Smith. And he seems to be going about it the right way. It's not like those reality shows where Jim Mcleans takes a chop and gets him to break 90. This guy seems to be working on the right things, not just beating balls. 10,000 hours of good practice can turn him into a PGA pro. Hell 10,000 hours was the time neededto learn fluent Japanese by my uncle. I wish the guy all the best and will start following his progress.

3.5 years of practicing 8 hours every day I would think he would be pretty good but I doubt it would be enough for the PGA tour.

10,000 hours is about 5 years of "normal" 40 hour weeks. I say it's plenty of time if he's got the talent.

after reading the article on this I've got mixed feelings about it. He comes from a family of successful & dedicated individuals...but he's the black sheep of the bunch. A starter for sure, but not a finisher of anything really. I'm going to follow this, but sadly I think he will never see his 10,000 hour of practice completed!

In my limited play in competition talent and skill is only a small part of what you need to WIN. I encounter numerous scratch and insanely talented golfers that aren't on tour for some reason. What's between the ears makes a tour player if ya ask me. Can't teach that, just have to be wired to not crumble under the intense pressure of competition at the highest level.

As they say, anything is possible. There a lot unknowns though. 10,000 hours can be too much or too little time. It all depends how he uses it. My bet is that he will burn himself out. He needs to have a some fun while he is learning. It sounds like he is approaching this with a scientific method and is not considering the human factor as much. He has already put in 1200 hrs and is only 50 yards out. By the time this is over he might be able to play great by himself but playing when it matters for a competition is an entirely different beast.

Only time will tell but I have a feeling he will give up within the next year.

Golf is like anything in life. There will always be people that are "world class" and then there is the rest of us. Even with us, there are limits. Some will become 10 handicaps, some 5's and some scratch or better, but I think everyone has a limit as to how good they will become. Most will never become a single digit no matter what clubs they use, how many lessons they take or how many hours they put in. It will just never happen. We each have our limits, and the sooner some accept that fact, the better off they and their wallet will be. The Tiger's in golf are very very rare.

Depending on this guys God given talent it could happen.

College golfers do that (add in summers and time off) and most of them don't sniff the PGA......I wish him luck but odss are against him.

The book "Paper Tiger" is a great read.. The author gives 2 years of his life to playing pro golf..

Do yourself a favor and pick it up.
