Steps on an analog clock that is… this guy is trying to test out that theory popularised by Malcolm Gladwell that expertise takes 10,000 hours. And he’s trying it on golf. Here’s the recipe for expertise…
“The Dan Plan will take six hours a day, six days a week, for six years. He is keeping diligent records of his practice and progress. People who study expertise say no one has done quite what Dan is doing right now.”
That’s from this feature story on the man with the plan – Dan McLaughlin.
His website, thedanplan.com, is tracking his progress (1,400 hours so far).
Fascinating stuff.
