   Do you guys golf? I've played a shjt load of Tiger Woods 04 the last month and feel like if j wrrre to practice j could actually be a good golfer.
   
   Like probably not, but who knows? I've never really tried.

   Like you just never know. People are NATURALS at things, but I wonder how often people never become those very things because they either never try in the first place or assume they wouldn't be, or bkth of course.
   
   Like golf, or, anything. Whos to say you couldn't be an AMAZING darts player? Like how do you know?
   
   We just assume.

    I'm pretty good at racing simulators, and the knowledge from them related to use of traction and braking and such translated well to riding a motorcycle
    
    [Insert motorcycle crash joke here]
    
    I like to think that if I had a few practice sessions in a GT car I could get good pretty quickly thanks to simulator experience, but every sim racer thinks that and the vast majority that have been given the chance have fucking sucked

    That's why it's intersting and for the most part probably not likely, like my golf example. I'm sure I wouldn't actually be some prodigy of golf if given the chance, but it's still interesting to me the idea behind things that we might be good at that we never attempt.
    
    Doesn't have to be sports or whatever even. Like.. maybe I'd be an AMAZING lawyer, or marine biologist. Or some shit. I don't know.
