Dan McLaughlin (born June 27, 1979) 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 The Dan Plan, McLaughlin had never played a full 18 holes of golf and had no previous experience as a competitive athlete. Dan developed his skills by practicing golf for 30 or more hours each week and originally planned to hit the 10,000 hour goal by October 2016. Dan wished to make a successful appearance in the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament to eventually obtain his PGA Tour card and win amateur events, aiming to reach a golf handicap of 2 or less. The best handicap he reached was 2.6 in January 2014, and in the end, in January 2015, was back up to 5.5. Dan quit the plan and started Portland Soda Works with his neighbour, Chris Onstad.
