I was going to make it a pdf download and ask people to contribute what they thought it was worth, but I thought if I put the book up on Amazon’s website it would be better formatted for all types of digital readers.  If this doesn’t work after a couple of months I may put a link to the pdf up as well, but for the time being please think about supporting The Dan Plan by purchasing the book here:

Amazon Unites States:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MTC0NJA

Amazon UK:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MTC0NJA?*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Amazon Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00MTC0NJA

Amazon Germany: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00MTC0NJA?*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Amazon Japan: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00MTC0NJA?*Version*=1&*entries*=0

And most any other country, email me if you want a specific link or search for “The Dan Plan”.

I wish to apologize in advance as a few external links did not translate to this format.  One of the most blaring absences are videos.  On a few occasions I talk about watching a video and it’s just a blank on the page.  Outside of that the content is whole.  I edited out about one third of the posts but there is still quite a bit of content, too much in a lot of ways.  Down the road at some point I will have a professional editor (or a well versed friend, or myself when the amount of time in a day magically doubles) take a gander at the content and polish it up.  For now, this is the story, more or less, word for word from the beginning.  I hope you enjoy and get some value out of the content.

For every book purchased from Amazon almost $5 goes to The Dan Plan.  Thank you for reading and please help spread the word to anyone potentially interested in seeing what it takes to make such a drastic change in one’s life.

Cheers!

Here’s the deal.  Guess the date that I shoot par or better for the first time (on 18 holes of at least a par 70 regulation golf course) and I’ll send you my Clicgear 3.0 pushcart.  For the record, this is a cart that I used for about 25 rounds, but it is in great condition and perfectly usable.  It looks just like this one:

As anyone who has used these carts knows, they are the best push carts in the business.  Smooth and easy to use they are great to have and simple to transport.  I recently added a 3.5 to my routine so have this extra one as prize material for the right guess.

I have no clue if shooting par will happen tomorrow or 6 months from now, but will keep this post near the top of the blog until the date hits.  The correct answer has to be a comment on this post, please do not email me guesses or tweet them or FB them.  And, please do not guess a date that has already been guessed and limit your guesses to one per person.  Just like in golf, this is an honor system; play by the rules and have some fun.

I’d love to open this up to worldwide followers, but I’m not sure if I can ship it internationally so let’s try to keep this in the States for right now.  That said, if there is an idea of a good prize for the international scene that isn’t shipping a 25 pound push cart thousands of miles away please let me know and I’ll consider it.

Thank you for playing the guessing game and good luck!

On an aside, I have not been able to reach Michael Phelps’ people for the Dan Plan Phelps challenge.  For more about the challenge, please read: http://thedanplan.com/blog/?p=2293

Seeing as Michael is taking golf seriously now and is working with Hank Haney I thought it would be appropriate to challenge him to a summer match this year.  If anyone knows anyone who may be able to make this happen let me know.
