Dan Wesley is the head men's golf coach at University of Rochester. Dan has also directed Nike Junior Golf Camps in Rochester, NY in previous years and serves as coach for the short game camp at Duke University.

Head Coach Dan Wesley returned to his alma mater in 2007 to take over the Yellowjacket golf program.

Having completed his 12th season as head coach in 2018-19, Wesley has guided the ‘Jackets to 17 tournament victories, 26 runner-ups, and 65 top three finishes in 115 events.

Last season, Rochester won the Liberty League Fall Preview and finished in second place at the Liberty League Championship and UR Fred Kravetz Invitational. Jack Mulligan was selected as the Liberty League Player of the Year, with he and teammate Aleksander Overli garnering All-Region accolades.

In 2016-17, UR claimed the Liberty League Championship for only the third time in school history, as the Yellowjackets tallied 1,233 strokes over the 72-hole conference event spanning tournaments in the fall and spring seasons. At NCAA's UR placed 26th of 42 squads, missing the cut after scoring 637 through two rounds.

Wesley was voted as the Liberty League Coach of the Year in 2016-17, leading four players to All-Liberty League honors, including Mulligan who was named Rookie of the Year.

In 2013-14, Rochester claimed the Liberty League Championship in a match play format which earned them an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship in Greensboro, NC where they set a program scoring record in NCAA competition and finished 12th in the nation. Wesley was again conference Coach of the Year.

Individual honors earned under Wesley’s guidance include All-American honors for Stephen Goodridge in 2008, Nick Palladino (2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014) who also won the Phil Mickelson award for NCAA national Freshman of the Year, and Jason Paek in 2018.
