Does this mean you are true freak of nature if you can start in your late 20s/early 30s and get past +2?
What level do you see Dan getting to? My concern for Dan is from watching the videos where he is getting coached I dont think Chris Smith is doing that great of a job, so I think unless Dan switches coaches to someone really smart, I dont think he makes it past a 3 handicap.
I think if you start in late 20's, and get better than +2, you are either a freak of nature, have devoted a very large amount of quality time to improving, or maybe both.
I know nothing of Dan and his journey other than what I've read in this thread, but I would be surprised if gets to a 3. The method he's taking seams very quirky and ineffective. I agree with you that he'd benefit from a new teacher/approach.
