Expert Enough Show Ep. 6 - 10,000 Hours of Golf with Dan McLaughlin
In this episode of The Expert Enough Show, Corbett Barr sits down with Dan McLaughlin of TheDanPlan.com to find out. Dan is testing the 10,000 hour rule by trying to become a professional golfer through 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. His goal is to make the PGA Tour. He’s already 3,300 hours of the way there and now has a 6 handicap (better than 93% of golfers), despite never playing a full 18 holes before he started the experiment.
