Comments on: The Dan Plan or: The story of a man who quits his job to become a professional golfer despite having never played the game. http://thedanplan.com/a-summary-of-the-dan-plan/ Fri, 18 Oct 2024 16:04:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.40 By: Patrick http://thedanplan.com/a-summary-of-the-dan-plan/comment-page-1/#comment-125271 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 05:13:34 +0000 http://thedanplan.com/blog/?p=1090#comment-125271 I started playing golf a lot when i was 32 (briefly when when i was 14) 4-5 nights week after work just hitting balls around the golf course within 5 months i was into single figures. I touched on a 3 handicap and now (47 years old) hover around 5-7…I think if i started when i was younger I could have been a scratchy. what do you guys think? note I never had lessons – I would pick up tips out of magazines and would just try them ..

maybe it works, but a better approach would have been to concentrate on improving game rather than burning rubber,. that’s just my thought, what do you think?

Where are you on your progress? I would like to know where you stand and what your handicap is now?
Thanks,
-Marty

I had a similar plan in mind when I turned 40. Mine was to play on the Senior Tour or the Champions Tour as it is now called. You become eligible age wise at 50 to apply.

I am not quitting my job as I have three kids, but do have a house that backs up to a municipal golf course. My first step was to move back into that house and start playing golf again. I am encouraging my kids to start playing as well.

I introduced myself to the game when I was in college and got hooked for a while. It has been a hot and cold topic for 15 years or so. Like you, I feel if I make the commitment to practice meaningfully, why can’t it happen?

At this point I am only playing golf with my 7 iron, 9 iron, wedge, and putter. This strategy has worked well for me in the past and as I get better I will add a club. A couple of years ago I did this and added my 5 iron to the bag. What a difference it made. I am hoping to get to my 5 iron and maybe my 3 by Christmas time….

I like the site and will be visiting it more.
