There are millions of internet golf gurus out there (not saying you in any way, don’t know you at all ) who can give the book answer of the science of golf, give a formula for when to shoot at a pin (which is barking IMO) and rattle off the equation for the precise amount of weight transfer you should get when hitting a 3 iron into the wind up a x degree hill…….then you put a club in their hand, chuck them in a tournament and frankly they’re crap. And you know what? So are the people they convince it’s ALL about the science. Yes use the science and tech wisely but never lose sight of the fact that golf is skill based and everyone plays if verydifferently. That’s what makes it such a fantastic sport.

Such a simulator/monitor can make practicing getting on Par-5′s in two easier by only selecting Par-5′s for practice until the getting on Par-5′s in two can be mastered. Hogan’s first book “Power Golf” wrote that the touring pros can easily get on Par-5′s in two strokes, and thus producing a number of easy birdies per round to produce under-par rounds easily and automatically.

There is an art to use (or to not use) science and technology in a sort of “the art of using science and technology.” Not all of science is of practical use. There is so call “basic” science like the study of sub-atomic particles like the neutrino, which has absolutely no use for improving the golf swing. On the other hand, the basic science of studying graphene may result in the development in the future of a perfect golf shaft.

It is an art to to adopt the right science and technology to improving golf, and to enhance performance. What works in some may not work in others.

Most golfers don’t bother with the science of golf, or they don’t even know there is such a thing. Because we are living in a hi-tech age where almost everybody use hi-tech machines like smart phones, PC, Internet, GPS, and the like, there are more interest in using technology in golf. Club makers are pushing hi-tech features in their clubs. There are GPS golf range finders. It is for the individual golfer to choose how much, or how little technology they want to get involved with. For people who have a lot of natural abilities in all departments of golf, they may not need any help from technology. For others with weaknesses, they may choose to use technology to give them the extra edge.

Since there are so many technology systems, and schools of technological thought, it is an art to choose the right technological approach that will fit and work for the individual, as everybody is different.

Your website was suggested to be by Ben Jones (@WarchantBen) of Warchant (the FSU Rivals website) via Twitter. I have been looking for personal golf blogs as they are now harder and harder to find with most people spending all their time posting solely on Facebook and Twitter. First of all, I would like to commend you on your ability to write. This is a lost art on the Internet and there is plenty of money to be made with writing alone. You may want to consider this for side income as there are freelance copywriting positions in all niches that can pay between $30 and $100 per article. If you can bang out a few articles a day you can definitely avoid trying to get a part time job.

I am just now starting to read up on your journey and am excited to consume the ups and downs. While I have no desire to become a professional golfer I truly love the game. I have read way too many books on golf and have played over 250 rounds in the last four years. I will forever and always be a 10 handicap but I am happy with that.

I have no idea what it is like to play pressure golf; especially knowing your paycheck is on the line. As you continue through your journey I truly hope you continue to post on this website as it is something I want to consume without having to deal with any part of social media. Thank you for your efforts and good luck. If you keep plugging away I am certain all will work out well. The sponsorship is just around the corner; especially if you keep writing content for the Internet that people will find through searches.

I reply to emails and at the end of the day that is usually my limit as I spend about an hour doing that each day. One of my best advisors/friends told me early on to basically ignore comments on websites as he ran a popular blog for 10 years and learned the hard way that you want to stay out of the back and forth that can happen. I rarely comment-reply as most people email if they have something to say person to person, which I will answer. About the affiliate amazon link, thank you, but I’ve no clue how to make one of those and the US amazon affiliate link made about $8 a month at it’s peak, so I would say it’s a good idea but in reality it just doesn’t generate income as they pay about 1 percent on purchases.

If you want to interact please email me, I honestly don’t read the comments, but I read and reply to every email I recieve.

Cheers,

Dan

Case in point – I posted asking if there was an affiliate link to amazon.co.uk that I could use to help fund – albeit in a small way – the Dan Plan, but I didn’t get any response whatsoever. Which I found close to astounding as it was free money for you.

Good luck with the part time work but it’s the thin end of the wedge in my view – this seems like the beginning of the end for the Dan Plan. I really hope you get there but realistically, taking on part-time work will only lengthen the time it takes you to get to 10,000 hours.

You often talk about your trouble with the driver but don’t ever post a swing or talk about the specific parts of the swing you are working on.
