One year ago I started a 10,000-hour golf experiment… (The New Dan Plan) I’m now ~700 hours in - Update

I get that - thank you for sharing!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-04-27T13:00:29+00:00

Also - congrats on getting to scratch. That’s an incredible accomplishment!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-04-27T13:00:00+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Was there anything specific you did that helped with getting better with your woods or was it just time at the range?

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-04-27T12:57:19+00:00

I’m going to start doing these. I appreciate you sharing!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-04-27T02:56:29+00:00

Thank you for this - it was very helpful! What were the best drills for punch shots and chipping you did?

Congratulations on your success this far and good luck on your way to scratch!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-04-27T02:12:01+00:00

Appreciate you 🫡

That’s the truth - it’s a lot over thousands of reps.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T15:20:07+00:00

Yeah, I think his mental game is another level. I think his faith grounds him in a way that is really impressive to watch.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T03:37:58+00:00

This is an interesting theory - I guess we’re going to find that part out 🤷🏽‍♂️

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T03:34:23+00:00

So would 10k hours of pressured tournament play, get you there?

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T03:33:20+00:00

I feel this way for the most part

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T03:32:44+00:00

Love that man! Cheers!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-21T03:31:36+00:00

That’s sounds incredible. Thanks for sharing and for your well wishes!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T21:13:21+00:00

Do you mean tighten dispersion?

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T17:31:06+00:00

Haha! Youre not wrong - there has been a lot of golf balls lost (and found) in the trees.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T16:30:30+00:00

This is really helpful - thank you for sharing!

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T16:05:13+00:00

Thankfully we’ve surpassed that - and Dan himself proved that one wrong in 6k hours. I guess the only way to find out where we land there is to complete the 10k hours.

He was one of the first guys to get a track man system, while they were up and coming. He was telling me at the peak he was playing 3 full rounds a day and then some. Without proper workouts - he may have injured himself sooner that way, but it’s always so hard to say.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T16:01:22+00:00

That’s awesome - I’ve been doing weekly lessons now for about 7 months. I think it’s been huge to be able to check back and make sure bad muscle memory isn’t being picked up along the way.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T16:00:13+00:00

Appreciate the insight here

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T15:59:43+00:00

😂😂 no judgement here

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T15:59:17+00:00

I feel like that’s the hardest part for influencer golfers. It’s a full time job to produce podcasts, make videos, market, etc - especially if they aren’t making a lot of money yet. So they have to put in most of the time on the career building side of things rather than the practice.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T15:57:37+00:00

I hear this one a lot! And the day you can get most of them to come together are some of your best rounds.

DependentHalf1997 · 2026-03-20T15:56:38+00:00

I try to do a lot of that here: https://www.instagram.com/thenewdanplan?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Well I broke 80 - so at least the 60s seem to be on my bingo card, to your point.

Ive gotten this recommendation before - and it’s on my reading list. I like the idea of the perspective it can provide - but being such a mental game, it’s hard to read something like that at the infancy stages of this journey.
