A beginner needs to have something that is workable now. Not something that will take years to get ready to work on.
Nothing un-motivates or slows down the learning process more than “just cut it here and in a few years……”
That works for someone that has had a bit of experience but to kindle the fire and keep it lit, a reachable goal is important.
As time goes on and experienced is gained then the old “stick it in the ground for a few years” makes more sense .
By the time the beginner would spend two or thee years growing out that stump most of them would gone onto playing golf. And had two or three years in golf lessons.
