[QUOTE="ktal, post: 1855100, member: 745969"] I appreciate the insight, and it was a fun thought experiment. I could never be a pro golfer even if I had the swing. I once worked at a club and played golf every day. One round I got paired with a young guy trying to make it in one of the tours, and his father. The son was easily the best golfer I've ever played with, and once I saw his game I could help him pick the right lines, since the course benefited from local knowledge. Waiting to tee off, I asked the father if the difference his son needed to break through was one big thing or a bunch of little things. He said 'a million little things'. That's why I could never be a pro golfer. Always something to worry about. It might be fun to practice when my living isn't on the line, but if the list never gets shorter, it has got to stop being fun. Especially with a mortgage. I'd rather be the caddie. Earn less and have a [B]lot[/B] more fun! [/QUOTE]
