About the coach
Hi, I’m Dan McCracken—a PGA Teaching Professional and Director of Instruction at Five Iron Golf NYC. I’ve been lucky to work with players of all levels, from total beginners to competitive golfers, and my main goal is to help you get better and enjoy the process. With a background in Professional Golf Management from Penn State and experience at top-tier clubs like Philadelphia Cricket Club and Congressional CC, I bring both tour-level insight and a laid-back, results-driven approach to every lesson.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in building efficient, repeatable swings through a clear understanding of each player’s unique mechanics and tendencies.
One area I’m especially passionate about is helping players gain speed and distance. I’ve gone deep into the training myself—hitting 143.3 mph club head speed and 204.4 mph ball speed—and I enjoy helping others safely add speed in a way that fits their swing and goals.
If you’re looking to improve your swing mechanics, increase your speed, or simply become a more confident and consistent golfer, I’d be excited to work with you.
If you’d like to learn more about my style and see whether we’d be a good fit, shoot me a message and we can schedule a free consultation call.

Imagine having to teach an emu how to golf. An old emu. One that has developed bad habits and is grouchy and stubborn and altogether horrid! Thats me. Somehow Dan keeps his headin the game of steering and herding this big bird in a better direction. Hes more than all the fancy titles the PGA can give him. Hes a compassionate, thoughtful, caring man who can charm a rattler as well as an emu.

Dan McCracken is a world class coach and mentor in addition to being among the leading swing experts in the nation (my $0.02 FWIW). Dan gets to know the pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, and horses in his stable. He then manages each according to what he thinks suits them best. No cookie-cutters!

If the US Navy SEALs had a Team for golf, Dan McCracken would be its Chief. He's a natural-born, well-trained, and practiced leader and mentor. Tops!
