Anyone remember "The Dan Plan"? http://thedanplan.com/a-summary-of-the-dan-plan/

A guy (30-year-old photographer) who never really played golf before is trying to reach the PGA Tour through 10k hours and deliberate practice. (ie, Not just mindlessly spending time on the driving/putting range).

In the last four years he's practiced about 5500 hours and gone to a handicap of 3.3.



Is his handicap of 3.3 impressive or disappointing?


Reading this chart[0], it puts him solidly in the top 10% of male golfers, perhaps in the top 5%.
