At age 15 Greg Norman was a hack just like everyone else when starting out playing the game of golf.
It took him 18 months of what I would imagine was damn hard work to achieve a scratch handicap.
Shoot a Million Balls? Give me a break.

as far as hitting the most balls nobody can beat what old arizona lee used to do.
he would lose most all his cash playing someone 9 ball and then practice for the next amount of hours till his money ran out or the room closed.
and he always played the same just a bit lower than a weak shortstop.

Don't wish to argue here, but I've known a few players the purists would call bums for using the whole pocket and cheating them regularly in order to leave with the cash. Thot never occurred to them not to.
My standards must have fallen when I wasn't playing 14:1 regularly and hit the road, If I had any to begin with??
The standard I held myself to was to win. Period. Use the whole green, pitch, court, field, board, any and all of it.
Anybody trying to hit center pocket all the time is taking away over half the possibilities on the table. I like to brush the long rail on the way to the corner, rattle twice, and fall. "You almost missed!" Damned hard for the other player to not drag out the money for "one more game" when if things had been slightly different they would have won.
Better to be lucky than to be good! (and hitting a million balls helps you get very lucky!)grin
