deuce-ish: I've been playing guitar a lot lately. But if I play for 10,000 hours, I won't be Slash

Happy for Rory as I’m a fan but - AceFrehley April 12, 2026, 17:50:54

i'm suprrised people don't like Rory.... - Giant Dong Yesterday, 18:41:36
- i liked him up until a few years ago - Playoff Rondo Yesterday, 19:49:30
My co worker told me thar most golfers could drop on every green at the Master’s … - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 16:44:00
Was it an unfair advantage he got to play almost every day for a month? - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 9:55:39
- So, I thought Augusta was kinda shut down for course prep? - osklister Yesterday, 16:40:27
  - no. that’s later in the year so the course doesn’t get stressed. they actually play a women’s - Ari Gold Yesterday, 21:11:05
  - Thought I had heard that too* - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 16:44:20
- No, and that is one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen floating around social media ever....and - villain Yesterday, 13:16:07
  - Why does he have so many American glazers? - Xar Yesterday, 14:25:11
    - I'm not even a golf fan and didn't even watch 1 minute of the Master's. - villain Yesterday, 14:33:30
      - I think it’s fair to note that not everyone has that access but anyone … - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 16:42:27
      - I just hate the Irish* - Xar Yesterday, 15:40:00
        
        what about the Black Irish?* - villain Yesterday, 15:50:51
        
        But, but, but, we don't want the Irish!!! - osklister Yesterday, 16:30:32
  - I agree. I assume that all players have the same opportunity. - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 14:16:13
    - They apparently do not. The course does not grant the same level of access.* - Lexillini Yesterday, 14:42:03
      - they wouldn’t even let gary player play a round there with his grandkids* - Ari Gold Yesterday, 21:12:16
      - If that's the case, that's another issue...I don't think only Rory should have access. - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 14:46:04
        
        The word is that certain players, including past winners, are granted more ready access.* - Lexillini Yesterday, 14:54:19
        
        past winners are all Augusta members as a perk of winning.* - villain Yesterday, 15:10:28
        
        And there you have it. There is not equal access to the course.* - Lexillini Yesterday, 15:16:50
        
        That doesn't mean that. - villain Yesterday, 15:35:35
        
        He earned the right to play it as a member. - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 16:39:33
        
        There is a lot of talk out there that they cannot.* - Lexillini Yesterday, 15:51:14
        
        of course, a guy like Rory will take all of this and say, "those fuckers think I can't win - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 14:47:27
    - Outliers is a great book and the 10,000 hours rule is a misunderstood statment, but in general - villain Yesterday, 14:29:27
      - I use some excerpts of the general rule of 10,000 from the book with my struggling readers... - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 14:41:49
        
        I've always thought this 10,000 hours claim was largely bullshit. - Lexillini Yesterday, 14:57:55
        
        I've been playing guitar a lot lately. But if I play for 10,000 hours, I won't be Slash - AceFrehley Yesterday, 15:20:19
        
        But if that is all the 10,000 hours claims really boils down to . . . - Lexillini Yesterday, 15:50:47
        
        There are tons of really good and fascinating books about this theory - villain Yesterday, 16:04:02
        
        There is inherent ability attached. And there is a fair amount of natural greatness. - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:06:44
        
        By and large, you are incorrect and 98% of what is written in those books I listed - villain Yesterday, 16:31:28
        
        i could have played golf everyday since i was 8 - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:49:13
        
        ‘I just don’t have have the body mechanics’ - villain Yesterday, 17:28:55
        
        you don't get it. if you measure pro golfer's bodies you will find that - AceFrehley Yesterday, 17:41:13
        
        No, you don’t get it. There is no magic body type for golfers. - villain Yesterday, 21:20:08
        
        i think you are taking the 10,000 hours a little too literally - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:00:46
        
        If you practice something a lot you will likely be better at it. - Lexillini Yesterday, 16:18:40
        
        I can't believe it either.* - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:26:59
        
        Again, playing guitar for 10,000 hours is not the same thing as practicing guitar for 10,000 hours. - villain Yesterday, 15:49:36
        
        Playing is practicing. Yes there are drills you can do and such - AceFrehley Yesterday, 15:58:38
        
        Sure, but it doesn't lead down the same path. My oldest loves basketball. - villain Yesterday, 16:15:12
        
        Slash didn't get great playing scales - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:19:57
        
        I don't know Slash's background, but I'd wager a fair amount of money he did practice scales - villain Yesterday, 16:35:59
        
        I met Tom. - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:46:39
        
        Fuck him - villain Yesterday, 17:31:09
        
        We bonded over the Chicago Cubs. In fact that was the only thing we talked about. - AceFrehley Yesterday, 17:41:59
        
        Rage was actually my favorite band in HS. I've been to many of their concerts - villain Today, 15:42:33
        
        Elite would be 10,000 + physical tools/propensity. - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 15:23:02
        
        And whatever category is right below elite might not be accessible either. - Lexillini Yesterday, 15:53:18
        
        Your short chubby fingers would adapt and become deformed in other ways - villain Yesterday, 15:52:58
        
        10,000 dedicated practice hours is a LOT of work. Obviously, it probably - OskeeWowWowDig Yesterday, 15:16:59
  - Not all golfers, including not all of those who were going to be playing in the Masters . . . - Lexillini Yesterday, 13:45:48
    - says who?* - villain Yesterday, 14:06:38
      - The course itself.* - Lexillini Yesterday, 14:41:13
  - To be fair, it is an advantage to play the course more than the others - AceFrehley Yesterday, 13:25:22
    - Silly last point. Of course they could have. They chose not to. - villain Yesterday, 14:05:53
      - I just read that Rory's biometrics for the week of the Master's was tracked and his resting heart - villain Yesterday, 14:19:32
    - A lot of folks are claiming that the Masters does not grant as free of access to the . . . - Lexillini Yesterday, 13:58:40
- I don't know the rules but i would bet most pros could get in to play - AceFrehley Yesterday, 12:11:38
  - i thiink anyone that qualifies to play can play whenever the fuck they want * - Giant Dong Yesterday, 12:35:54
    - my dad was fortunate to play there.it's not like you need a tee time - Giant Dong Yesterday, 12:37:43
      - i don't care if i shot 183. i'd sell my soul to play one round there. * - AceFrehley Yesterday, 12:53:11
        
        i have a card around here somewhere * - Giant Dong Yesterday, 16:53:09
- Clearly and advantage, but whether or not it is fair is a matter of perspective. - GAIllini Yesterday, 10:47:04
  - I think he gets all the credit for executing on the course.* - DouchieHowser Yesterday, 16:36:58
i think he’s a twat* - Playoff Rondo April 12, 2026, 19:43:06
- i followed him at the ryder cup when it was at Medina... - Giant Dong April 12, 2026, 20:22:24
  - Medinah. * - osklister Yesterday, 16:44:47
  - LOL. He's like exactly my height. But a guy that leads the PGA in driving - AceFrehley April 12, 2026, 21:19:40
    - ^^subtle "look at me, I belong to Riviera Country Club" post above^^ * - osklister Yesterday, 9:44:54
      - me? did you read my post where i said we got passes from our neighbor - AceFrehley Yesterday, 12:02:24
        
        Ha ha, like Ace couldn't buy and sell Riviera. - osklister Yesterday, 16:27:31
        
        Even worse.* - AceFrehley Yesterday, 16:31:12
    - i would love to hear that one * - Giant Dong April 12, 2026, 22:05:31
      - Ok - AceFrehley April 12, 2026, 22:29:42
        
        How did he smell, breh?* - fratstud April 12, 2026, 23:06:33
        
        Like Irish Spring* - AceFrehley April 12, 2026, 23:38:57
        
        All Leprechauns do* - villain Yesterday, 13:20:12
        
        I feel like the female ones would smell like Lucky Charms* - AceFrehley Yesterday, 13:25:43
        
        That's at least better than corned beef and cabbage* - villain Yesterday, 14:11:33
