Dan McLaughlin

Who is Dan McLaughlin?

Dan McLaughlin is an American commercial photographer who quit his day job to become a professional golfer through 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Using this method, he created a plan known as The Dan Plan. Prior to McLaughlin’s Plan, he had never played a full 18 holes of golf and has had no previous experience as a competitive athlete. Dan develops his skills by logging in 30-plus hours a week of practice to golf and will ultimately hit the 10,000 hour goal of deliberate practice by October 2016. As this practice persists, Dan wishes to make a successful appearance in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament to eventually obtain his PGA Tour card and win amateur events.
