The Dan Plan: 10,000 hours of Practice

On this week’s episode of the Golf.com podcast host with former commercial photographer Dan McLaughlin who, in April 2010, quit his day job to become a professional golfer and possibly qualify for the PGA Tour. The Dan Plan was inspired by the 10,000 Hours Rule — the theory that any skill can be mastered with 10,000 hours of practice. Having never played 18 holes of golf in his life, Dan started his journey with just a putter. Now, more than 6,000 hours into his quest, Dan discusses his motivation to become a golfer, how injuries have affected his performance and when he expects to complete his 10,000 hours.
