Dan, I’m a former D-1 golfer and still play to a +3 in my 30s. I’ve been an exceptional ball striker and an average short game player, albeit a pretty good putter. I have read your book and taken your ideas to my practice chipping green. You are a most talented instructor and I eagerly watch all of your posts. I’ll research your site to seek opportunities to meet you. Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us!
Here in Iowa with 25” of snow on the ground, this is my short game adjustment: buy golfball sized nerf balls, place a rubber backed rug on the floor in the garage, watch Dan’s videos then go to garage to practice Dan’s instruction. My chipping and pitching has improved significantly over the last month. It really is awesome to be able to watch a video and step out into the garage and try it. Thanks Dan.
Thank you for a very comprehensive short game winter video. All we need is you to caddy for us & advise for each shot. I did NOT realise that there were so many options. You made it look so easy without any poor shots. You must have practised a great deal to master all those shots. I have subscribed.
Thank you! These videos coupled with your book thru dedication, disciplined work (the 3 D's) is indeed great valuable knowledge. I would recommend to any golfer to buy your book.
This is so full of useful insights and instruction. Thanks Dan. Love these longer-form videos. This'll save me from spending all winter at the practice ground getting frustrated practicing release 3s!
This video was stinkin' amazin'. One of the best, in-depth instructional vids I've seen on YT EVER!!!...been through hundreds of short game vids. Dan, this is top shelf. Wow!
I’m watching this video over and over again, trying to memorize everything… What stands out incredibly, is that DG is one of the very few (i put Adam of Porzak golf, along with him) YT coaches, able to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
I have to say, you are the best presenter/Coach online without doubt. Many presenters waffle a bit too much but, your explaination on each shot is not only to the point but you also give an excellent visual of the shot required. I can say that in my back garden, I'm making fewer errors with my wedges but the problem is, I have to use the other clubs as well. 😅🤣👋👋👋
As someone who dreads upslope chips, seeing Dan effortlessly hit three in a row makes me super excited to go try that technique right away. Great video!
Dont play anymore, but your videos are beginning to inspire a renaissance! I wish I had access to your knowledge for my short game when I played. Maybe Ill blow the dust off my clubs
This is awesome content. You've really stepped up your content. Love this longer video format. Seeing you casually dink three balls consecutively to 2ft is so impressive ❤
Seriously awesome, thanx Dan, love the shorts but these longer videos with your insight is just priceless. Loved the book as well, BTW-its my Bible now! Take it with me whenever I go practice! 😅
Jeeze this is so good and useful. Thank you Dan ! I plan to watch this and practise it every week until I have a scratch level short game in the wet.... What a challenge! What a game, what a life 😊
63 yrs young and have been a plus or low handicap since my teens. Historically was considered an excellent chipper and pitcher of the golf ball. Was pretty creative and rarely struggled with low points or ball first contact. Assorted things took me from the game for a while and have been back at it for 7-8 years and my wedge/short game has been horrendous nearly to the point that I won’t practice it so I don’t get depressed. In spots that I used to regularly chip in I now put so I’m not chunking or blading them and completely ruining a decent round. I’ve watched a few short game guys and you’ve really impressed me. As simple as it looks for me doing it on the course has been a struggle. I know practice makes perfect but probably need a lobotomy to get rid of all the negatives thoughts and images.
Dan, this is a fantastic video, while there is a lot to take in, it comprehensive and clear, I just need to rerun about 10 times, so it sinks in, I’m going to make practice notes when I go for practice sessions. many thanks
Dan Thanks for your instruction, toke to the course today. After 18 holes ,when pitching to the green or chiping .Hit ten out of eighteen green. I'll can watching your videos. And working on my short game.thanks again!!
A great use of 23 mins of my time and should help my winter game no end! Some of his examples of bad shots i can see i do so now I can improve them. Another great video from Dan !👍
I golf ⛳️ in the States 🇺🇸 in the Pacific Northwest year round. In the winter it rains 🌧️ a lot. This video is sooooo helpful! Learning to improve my golfing IQ 😁. Thanks Dan!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for taking the technical aspect of your 3 releases book and show casing them in real world conditions, very helpful in learning how to read the lie and choosing the correct release for the given conditions.
Absolutely fantastic, you explain shots so well and from all different lies, you make it so easy to practice the techniques and understand what is required from a shot. Love the longer lesson videos, keep them coming.
Dan great video you have saved my short game I’ve been working on all your releases and my confidence is back and my scores are showing it thanks again and keep the videos coming
Absolute gold Dan. What I would give to have 5% of your ability round the green. Autumn/Winter golf is just so hard in the UK with all these heavy lies. Thanks so much for the content.
Thank you Dan! Your videos are fantastic content. I have dropped from a 18 to a 13 handicap on your advice from your videos and your book. Next time I am in the UK, I am going to try to come take a lesson.
Wow! I did watch your 3 releases with Rick Shields a couple of months ago and have been practicing this with some success. When i am not successful it is often because the lie wasn't appropriate, so thanks to the video. There is a golf course that I frequent which has harder bunkers, not unlike the one here, if not harder wetter bunkers, even in summer. I have been avoiding the bunkers because of poor conditions in them. But now I see a solution - which I will practice. I do plan on picking up a copy of your book on the three releases sometime soon. Thank you again Dan. Craig from Toronto Canada.
This really helps my game alot! Been hitting it good off the tee this past week and putting has been decent but chipping around the greens have been a nightmare with these wet and soft conditions. No more! Thank you Dan!
Yesterdays round was awesome, although I missed a good amount of putts (very fast greens), my chip and pitch was as succesful as I have never had in my game, thanks to your tutorial. I reinstate that what you share is truly admirable. I found myself performing with so much more confidence and present to club selection and what I wanted my ball to do. If I would have putted better, let´s put it this way, sinking at least 50% of my birdie and par opportunities I would have ended with high seventies instead of a round of 83. I am a visual person so I learn by seeing, rather than by reading, like it was mentioned in your interview.

LETS GO!!! By far the best short game coach around! I’m so glad we finally got a lengthy video of instruction! Thank you Dan
Thank you!
Dude yes, I've watched all the shorts and had been hoping for long form content. So pumped!
Me too!!!
@@AaronS-if4nvwhere's your content? I'm interested.
@@AaronS-if4nv now back up your statement.
These videos Dan produces are incredible.
who else is coming back to this after nothing but rain for the last two weeks in the UK 👋😂
Best Dan Grieve video yet! Absolute gold. Thanks Dan.
It's fascinating watching Dan unlock the finesse game within the game. His "no excuse to not have a world class setup" approach is top shelf teaching.
Dan, I’m a former D-1 golfer and still play to a +3 in my 30s. I’ve been an exceptional ball striker and an average short game player, albeit a pretty good putter. I have read your book and taken your ideas to my practice chipping green. You are a most talented instructor and I eagerly watch all of your posts.

Well why'd ya stop being D1? (love a good origin story)
Have to say, for UK players this is one of the best instuction videos I've seen. Please keep them coming!
Everything looks so easy and effortless when you demonstrate 👌🙏 great videos
Dan the best short game coach I’ve ever seen great to watch
Tony
This advice is perfect for anyone playing golf in Glasgow in summer as the weather is just like winter, wet and muddy.
The confidence in these strikes and different options is incredible.
Said it before but can’t recommend his book enough. It’s excellent
Thank you!
A short game masterclass for winter golf! Thank you Dan!
Thank you. That’s the best winter advice I’ve ever heard. You’ve explained everything perfectly. I can’t wait to go out again. 👍
Master teacher. Incredible ability as a coach and short game magician.

Absolutely brilliant video 👍👍
How you picked the ball up with the club was awesome!
Brilliant advice. Wet conditions are really tricky. Firm sand also is a mystery for many. Thank you.
Dan's video with Rick Sheils took 4 off my HCI this year. such a great coach even through the screen.
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading these videos, Dan. You made me like golf again!
Probably the best winter golf (bad lies and wet conditions) video on the internet. Many thanks!
another amazing video from one of the best short game specialists
Literally the best coach online. Unbelievable stuff.
The best golf instruction video on youtube. Thank you Dan ❤

Very good Dan….very knowledgeable and easy to understand 👌
Excellent Dan. Thank you very much.

Perfect for my neck of the woods ! I could watch this before every round and play better. Thank you sir.
This is so full of useful insights and instruction. Thanks Dan. Love these longer-form videos. This'll save me from spending all winter at the practice ground getting frustrated practicing release 3s!

Best short game tips ever! Always makes sense! Thanks for sharing Dan!
As someone who dreads upslope chips, seeing Dan effortlessly hit three in a row makes me super excited to go try that technique right away. Great video!

Great Tips, just what is needed in this new season. Thank you
Pure gold ! Thank you for sharing this. The 3 most important parts of the game are ..short game, short game and ….short game.

Great video, Dan. Very helpful for those unable to play in perfect conditions year-round. Thanks!
Just going to watch this video on repeat until it sinks in. Great content Dan!
Made an immediate difference to my short game on a wet midlands course. Great instruction 👍
Dan, this is a fantastic video, while there is a lot to take in, it comprehensive and clear, I just need to rerun about 10 times, so it sinks in, I’m going to make practice notes when I go for practice sessions. many thanks
Dan, your short game knowledge is outstanding. Thank you. You could turn an amateur pro like flipping a coin. Great video.
I agree excellent teaching video full of little nuggets of techniques mixed together with plenty of common sense. Really enjoying watching them
Dan, you're an absolute legend! This applies so well to me living in Iceland where our summers are kinda like your winters 😂
That's actually fantastic. I need to have that video ready on my phone, just to get reminders for all different lies. Thanks a bunch Dan.
I really love your short game approach/technique and teaching .. more videos like this and you will become a you tube legend...
I gave this a like even before watching it and I wasn’t disappointed. Top quality content time and time again.

I´m exited to see that you are uploading new content! Your short-game videos have helped my game massively! Looking forward to your upcoming videos!!
Absolutely fantastic, you explain shots so well and from all different lies, you make it so easy to practice the techniques and understand what is required from a shot. Love the longer lesson videos, keep them coming.
Really clear demonstration and reasoning. Thank you
Fantastic ...always wondered why my bunker shots flew out at a low trajectory in wet conditions.....thanks Dan
Many thanks - book is excellent and the videos are a perfect complement.
Dan great video you have saved my short game I’ve been working on all your releases and my confidence is back and my scores are showing it thanks again and keep the videos coming

Best Master class on winter condition well done
Thank you Dan! Your videos are fantastic content. I have dropped from a 18 to a 13 handicap on your advice from your videos and your book.

Wow! I did watch your 3 releases with Rick Shields a couple of months ago and have been practicing this with some success.
