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.

Can gave me some drills to do. I recorded them with my iPhone. He spent the time to not only view them all, but noted things he saw on the videos themselves, creating a split screen, with lines, thoughts and commentary that was encouraging and looking out for not only technique and rote mechanics, but my longevity! C'mon... in this day and age... for someone to put that much effort into a 'student'. Pretty damn good stuff. He's putting in the time to review my clips. The least I can do is take the time to write this, and every other, review!

Dan is helping me with more than I can list without this review being contaminated by my own situation. Let it suffice to say his coaching is amazing. He looks at all of my videos, marks them up while discussing what he sees, and advises on how I can make adjustments. He is dealing with my aging body's mobility limits, injuries, and even psychology. I don't know what more anyone could want in a coach. Dan is the goat.

I'm a fat, old, know-it-all man with limited mobility and a sharp tongue. Dan not only did a free swing analysis, but provided links to his relevant videos as pointers. His demeanor was extremely gracious, thoughtful, considerate, and inviting. I want to work with him. I have my doubts about online instruction, as articulating a 'feel' on a video works for the author, but not always the watcher. But, at my age and budget, I need to try. Dan is not only reasonable, but after carefully listening to, and watching his clips, he knows what he's doing. Whether or not I can ingrain what he teaches really isn't 'on him'. That's more about the medium, not the instructor,
