[QUOTE="Gammadoodler, post: 9289283, member: 6914290"] Enhh. It depends on what level of learning you're talking about. A person who knows nothing about golfing can pretty quickly learn things like what the different clubs are meant to do, things to look out for on a hole , some basic swing mechanics, etc. Same way with most things. You might not be able to make a Michelin star meal, but spend a week or two back of house at a restaurant, and you'll probably have a decent idea of how to season and grill a steak, dress a salad, and make some pasta. Mastery of some things might take years. Advancing beyond complete incompetence can take days or weeks. This is well within the adventuring timescale. (And this is not even considering that characters are often traveling with premier experts within these fields. Like, if I was on the road with a couple of PGA players, and occasionally we had to play golf as a team to survive, since they want to survive too, I'd expect that they'd drop some hints here and there for me to pick up) [/QUOTE]
