ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On TH-cam and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.
I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.
We look at 3 things:
1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing
Just when I was about to give up on hybrids and woods, I put a 4i in my bag, this video now makes me want to go back out there. Small adjustments.
And your “topping” of the ball still went farther than most people who “top” their ball.
Love to hear how you get on
I had problems topping my fairway woods, but after adjusting my set up so I was putting slightly more weight on my lead side and extending my follow through, I'm getting a lot more accurate consistency with my ball striking. Great advice, thank you Danny
Thank you Don and well done!
As a casual golfer, my fairway woods are the bane of my existence. Can't wait to try these tips out, and get the confidence to pull these sticks out of my bag. Thanks for the great advice!
Been following these videos for a 2 or 3 years now and I have to say they are a delight to watch and the cumulative effect on my golf game has been very positive. My slice/fade is fading and I have the tools to hit straighter. My iron striking is improving from being dire. I get out of bunkers mostly first time (deep ones in our Links Course). My woods I am no longer afraid of and the hybrids are fairly consistent. Putting been a bit dodgy recently but that's golf for you. Thank you Danny
You're the best coach on TH-cam. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for all you do to help us.
By far the best tutorial videos on TH-cam. Love the way you help me visualise the technique and get the feel.
Really happy to help Francis
Yes i agree its very clear and intuitive. Really complements my learning of hitting the woods and driver as. Im in a class now as well.
This and another couple of clips in hitting irons are some of the best golf clips I’ve seen in a long time. So simple to follow, cannot wait to work on my swing 💪 cheers Danny 🥳
Hello. I am a little confused about ball position. At the 2 minute mark of the video the ball appears to be in the middle of the stance but at 2:57 the ball appears to be more forward in the stance. Also, at 3:41-3:53 the ball appears to be more forward. Am I just misled by the camera angle? Thanks.
As a self taught golfer of 15 years; then lost 7 years of play due to cancer treatments. My lowest handicap level was a 3. Now back to a 17 😞. I would say the these two clubs were/are the most difficult to figure out (driver & fairway metal [7 or 9]). This is exactly what I have been missing for a long time! Thank you so much. Clear, concise and very well explained. Can't wait to give it a go this weekend and start to bring my index back to single digits.
Happy to help Ollie keep me updated on your progress and thanks for taking the time to comment 😁
No one cares
@@eddieMFsauceboyyou have a playlist called videos that make me cry 🤣🤣🤣
@@taylord44 you have an anime picture and have probably never gotten laid
These videos are very difficult to watch up Canada where it is now too cold to go try it out
I just want to thank you for your videos. They have helped more than anything since I've returned to golf as a senior golfer...Funny part is I actually met you ( I played cantebury with my brother in law a few years back..little did I know then the influence you'd be in the future..
Eagle a Par 5 this week.
284 Yard drive. ( 53 years old )
212 Yard 4 Hybrid.
On fringe 18 feet to hole. Putt from there to get the Eagle.
I credit Danny with so much. I often take his advice to the range or chipping green when my game goes bad!!
Awesome instruction and guidance to get me back on track.
Shot 78 on a Par 71 course called Miskanaw Golf Club in Alberta Canada.
These are the best golf lessons. I’ve learnt so much about ball position in the set up. Thank you
Glad you like them!
I love my fairway woods and hybrid and have hit them much cleaner by forcussing on the very front of the ball or ever on the grass just ahead of it. I now even take a divot with my irons by doing this. Thanks once more for all your great advice Danny.
This is a great tip. Tried it today in practice. Worked wonders. Thanks for sharing.
When it comes to TH-cam golf coaches Danny you are the best BIG STYLE
I only watch Danny Maude.
Brilliant video and perfect;y well timed! With little to NO back rotation, I recently purchase a 5, 6, 7, & 8 hybrids and can now hit them perfectly thanks to your video. . If at all possible, and albeit to a smaller audience of your subscribers, any new videos for seniors with little to no back turn video would be highly helpful. My friends and I are all finding it harder with and learning how to hit any and all clubs for us would be VERY well time. Keep up the amazing videos you continue to make for us golfers.May THANKS Danny!
Great idea will be really happy to help
Thanks
Incredibly kind Jack thank you
Thanks for the advice!
Thank you Nathan 😁
This guy is the best coach I've ever seen and yes, his tips work. They worked for me, I hope they work for you!
@mattcody4933 thank you so much for your lovely message. I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Excellent, clear easy to follow advice.
Explanation of why it is vital to extend the arms will encourage me EXTEND THE ARMS & AVOID TOPPING.
MUST DO THAT.
Old, short hitters like me use fairway woods & hybrids rather than irons.
Danny, I love how easy the swing feels with your suggestions. Today I tried your tips at the course and I crushed a 5 wood 215 yds to within 2 feet of the flag for a most improbable birdie in the toughest hole at my local course (a handicap 1 hole)! The normal version of me tends to top those shots for a whopping 100 yard roll.
Thanks!
Thanks Paul very kind 👍
All teachers talk too much, but it's clear you want to share a lot of good info. The point about ball position (lean right for driver & left for woods) is a subtle change, but visually is easy to see. Thank you!
You are very welcome Rick
Thanks for helping me learn golf Danny!! And the encouraging replies!! About to end my 1st year with a 9 handicap. I still visit these videos when I need a refresher 🤗
@tammysuemusic you’re more than welcome. Thank you so much for your support 👍🏻
This lesson is perfect. I’m a newbie and I’ve really struggled hitting 3 and 5 wood off the deck. So much so that I have resorted to not having the confidence to even try. This lesson I’m taking to the range and hopefully will help me. Thank you
The three wood is a difficult club to use of the deck, most of the ladies I play with don't use it anymore! I use on a par 5 my driver, 5 wood and then a iron!
Revisited this before going on today and off 13.1, hit 11/11 fairways, as well as hitting 2/2 fairway woods perfectly, on way to a winter golf 4 over par (with 2 x 3 putts on shocking greens). Brilliant Danny! Ta very much 😊
Amazing to hear Alan well done
Wow. Understand why I was so inconsistent. I play off the deck exactly why I would top every third fw shot. This makes total sense. Cant wait to try it this afternoon!
I’ve cleaned up my short game, improved my putting and am crushing driver… but since the end of last season I had lost my way with 3 wood and hybrid. Pretty much stopped using them, all together. Really could use those tools in my game instead of having to lay up on par 5s. This drill makes sense. Thanks for the tips, Danny. Gotta get my confidence back with them.
Love to hear how you get on Jim
Just started playing hybrids and this video is the best instructional between driver and hybrid!!! I was struggling and very frustrated and fixed me big time thanks so much.
Glad it helped!
Following for two years love the simplicity and consistency of the instruction!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciate the support Gregg
Thanks for the reminder on ball position and the tip about the straight left arm though impact. I have really been struggiling the past year not playing as much because my game has been awful. I watched this video yesterday because I haven't been able to hit my fairway woods and all my irons have been problematic. I played today not expecting much but the real difference was I was more focused hitting all my clubs. It was my driving that improved the most when I focused on ball position. I was hitting much higher drives and a good bit longer than I had been earlier in the year. My fairway woods were ok but it will take me more time and some time on the range to make a bigger improvement.
Thanks really good video.
I've incorporated this into my preshot routine including my irons and resulting in better contact with more consistency. Thanks!
Danny, Thank you so much for the videos. Easy to understand and translate to the course. Have struggled to be consistent of the tee and your steering wheel video has helped me go from a D player to C in 6 weeks with consistent rounds in the 80s
That’s amazing well done
I’ve been watching different instruction videos for years. Danny stands out as one of the few (Martin Hall included) who make their instructions as clear and uncomplicated as possible! My only advice is to take away just a couple of Danny’s pointers at a time onto the course to avoid paralysis by analysis.
Thank you very much for this video - it crashed away all my fears to use the driver. Brilliant explanation where i have to put on my sternum, my left foot and my ball. It works fantastic on the golf course!
I've been using my hybrid Adams IDEA 4-iron lately at the range and applying the same setup technique as I do with my irons and I was amazed at how well it connected. Now I see that I was absolutely correct when you were talking about making sure I come up with the top of the stick first and the club head afterwards in this video specifically for hybrids. Thanks Danny, amazing content as always
Thank you Mackie 😁
Thanks for the tuition Danny. I relate to everything you have said. Executing it is another matter but at lest I can work on my extension through the ball. I was a bit inconsistent with my fairway wood yesterday but can now reset my address position regarding that. A massive THANKS.
You can do it! Love to hear how it goes
This is awesome. I’ve been inconsistent with these, sometimes I hit them great and sometimes not. I see my foot positioning has been wrong. Thanks Danny. You’re always putting out really helpful, practical teaching. God bless you
Danny you have completely changed my golf thoughts with your swing arc and knowing where the bottom of the swing is. Total game changer for me.
Really happy to help
Danny you are the best teacher. I have been chopping average 5 strokes per game using your lessons
This is exactly what I need to know! I was having such a hard time hitting my fairway woods yesterday and I really think this will help! Thank you! I will try it and let you know!
Hi Danny
I felt compelled to send you this. After watching your video on generating snap in the swing, concentrating creating the snap much later in swing than you think
I have a VR headset doing nothing as I hadn't found a use for it. Last night I purchased a golf simulator/ game for it. I was very skeptical until I took my first shot with the virtual driver. My normal result with the driver was reproduced exactly on my headset. I couldn't get the ball away with any power, the ball going low and curving acutely left. (left handed)
After hitting dozens of identical bad shots. I remembered you video on producing this snap in the swing. The results were incredible. The snap gives you a completely different feel it was incredible. I am no technology expert but I do know the head and hand tracking on these devices are very accurate.. Maybe these VR devices can have a use as a training aid, complementing our practice when we can't get down the range.
Thanks Johnathan glad the videos helping you, appreciate you taking the time to comment 😁
This makes more sense than anything I have seen
Hope it helps Alan
Tried this today and it is so good.
Question... When I hit my 15' fairway wood it's always a stinger which is great. My question, is there a way to hit it high so I can clear some bushes or trees far off? Essentially hit it high when needed?
I have just hit my 3 wood further than ever before but pretty much swinging same as hybrid because of this video, was too much like driver set up with it, hopefully the start of me liking and actually using it as much as it should.
I was having issues this past weekend and your lesson was perfectly timed. Thank you.
Thanks Loren!
Best of You Tube. Reminds us to double check what we know to do. Instantly helpful without screwing up your swing. Thanks
Brilliant tip as usual. I'm starting to recognise where I'm going wrong. I thought my inconsistency was all about my swing. I think it might be my set up and especially ball position, which is pretty random. Definitely working on this tomorrow.
Always go to set up first. A poor set up make it hard to produce a good golf swing
Danny, I found this video to be very informative and apropos to what I am trying to accomplish with the fairway woods and hybrids. One thing that I found to be quite useful was when you were talking about the swing circle and hitting the woods and hybrids at the bottom of the circle with extended arms, not retracted arms. With driver, it's the opposite. Ball forward, sternum behind and hitting up. Well Done Danny! Keep Up The Good Work!!!
Thank you John! Appreciate you taking the time to comment 😁
It's been a while since I watched one of your videos - TH-cam stopped putting it in my notifications (???). The added editing (showing the arc of the club head, the tilt, etc.) is a great improvement - and that's saying something, because your videos have always been so, so good. Thanks so much.
Excellent tips. With my fairway wood or hybrid I also don’t rush. That extra half a second in my transition from back to down swing lets the club just start to fall right back towards the ball and that has helped me strike the ball much better. Thanks for all the great videos
Love that 👌
Danny, thank you so much. I never used my wood club because I always hit the ball on top or I make a crater the size of china. But now after seen your lesson it makes so much sense and is so nice to see those balls going up and far.
Thanks again you are a really excellent teacher.
God bless you
Thank you 🙏 appreciate the support 😁
Played a round over the weekend and on #18 my buddies were checked out, only one of us hit the fairway so we decided to not even look for our hits and went with his. I lined up my 5wood and proceeded to hit the straightest shot ever and it landed on the green and about 12 feet behind the pin, made the putt for par and it was awesome!
Great video. I’m a senior and took this to the range today with my new 3 hybrid, what a difference in strike pattern and distance. Thank you so much.
Just need to sort out hitting down on my driver 🙈
You can do it
The video effects you use with the swing circle is top notch. Really helps simplify the concept.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial Danny. You bring so much value to Golfers looking for instruction on TH-cam. Cheers
Happy to help
Thanks for this video Danny, it’s come at exactly the right time for me, as I’m going to get fit for a fairway wood and hybrid tomorrow morning.
I already know this will help me because the man fixed my driver in two videos lol. The main issue I've had, especially when pulling a 3 wood out, is we usually aren't doing that unless we have a lot of ground to cover. For us amateurs that usually means trying to swing out of our shoes and we end up leaning back or dipping a shoulder trying to crush or lift the ball. The best advice I've been given in my very short golf career is - 'let the club do the work'. Set yourself up proper, swing with good rhythm and speed and the rest will take care of itself.
As always, specific tutorial supported with video & verbal feedback that empowers all learning styles! Quite an effective educator there Danny; you are appreciated by your students! The former coupled with a great personality makes the lesson stick and allows the medicine to go down!
Thank you Ron very kind 😁
Danny thank you! I have picked up and retained so much more info than anyone has ever taught me just by watching a few of your videos! Thank you so much! Off to the range tomorrow and hope I can put these tips to use! Please dont go away Danny haha
As usual, all good stuff. For me, leaning the shaft slightly forward at setup and impact was the key to solid center strikes and higher ball flight. Seems counterintuitive but you have to get the face of the club on the ball for good compression.
I understand the mechanics of the swing much better as a result of watching your lessons. They get me right back on track. Thank you.
@willfraind you are most welcome. Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻
You are by far the best video/internet teach I have ever seen so easy to understand, thanks you so much
Brilliant lesson on Hybrid I also find this a great way for getting out of fairway bunkers.
You just focus all attention on looking at the back of the ball and hit down and follow through.
Regards Barry B.
That’s great Barry
Have been really strugglong with my fairway and hybrids so this is pure gold Thanks as ever
Love to hear how you get on David
Hi Danny. Went out yesterday and hit my driver higher and with more carry, and could hit a 3 wood reliably off the deck. The idea of using the sternum to determine where the ball is, works with wedges too. Much crisper and with better control. Without this video I would still be struggling Many thanks for you help. Colin
Excellent drill, I always had problems adjusting to my woods and hybrids. Even bent my knees more. Now I just have to work on getting a slight draw.
Good reminder! Been dealing with my 3 wood and 3 hybrid a lot lately with mixed results. I'll go through the line up process and practice this a lot.
Love to hear how you get on
Danny, you are an awesome teacher!! I love watching your lessons! You make things so clear, and I love your accent!!
Danny thanks for this, just what I was looking for. Put it into practice yesterday and without doubt one of my best scores to date.
Outstanding video Danny! I can’t thank you enough for doing these videos. I know they take a lot of time. Thank you again!
Really kind of you
It’s getting boring saying how great and useful these videos are, Danny. I think I may have just had a lightbulb moment. I’ve become totally obsessed with staying on top of ball/keeping my head behind the ball at strike. You actually appear to be moving forward of it at impact (as with hybrid and possibly fairways) which brings explains why the shaft leaning forward is so important. Have I got that wrong. As I get better, I seem to concentrate on points in isolation , I get better and think I’ve finally cracked it, try to get even better and completely feck it all up 😀
Going to try this tomorrow with hybrid
Cheers Danny, thanks for my morning lesson. Off to the course 6:22am tee time. I will let you know how I do. My journey to score mid 80s.
Happy Saturday from Sacramento California California
Practised this at the range last night and it made a huge difference. I've never had the confidence to use a fairway wood on an actual fairway before... but it feels like I'm getting there now. Thanks Danny
Your scores won't change.
Awesome to hear, keep up the good work
@@MrSpanky2001that’s not very positive. Are you this negative on a golf course too?
Great video. I want to highly recommend guys try the cobra one length hybrids. Same length as the 7 iron so it’s so much easier to hit on the sweet spot. I use 5h through 3.
By far the very best lessons here on You Tube. Thank you so much Danny
Perfect timing this tip. Have a 3-hybrid and just could t get on with it but this video has cleared up a lot of the “why” I could t get on with it. Will put your tips into practice today 🙌🏾
Another great video Danny, thank you. I love using my 4 hybrid, but too nervous of using my fairway off the deck. This lesson gives me some useful advice, as I thought the fairway needed to be further forward in the stance. Thanks once again.
This video has completely changed my game. I could never hit my woods and hybrids. Tip number 2 was the thing. I was pulling my arms in. Making sure I had that weight forward and arms extended changed EVERYTHING. I went to the range today and was absolutely CRUSHING my wood and hybrids. Thank you so much for this.
Brilliant GM well done 👍
@@DanielMaude Thanks. It was great to go to the range and hit solid shot after solid shot with my wood and hybrids. Now I just need to get that driver more consistent.
Excellent Lesson post
Hope it helps Khaleel
Danny I watched this video Saturday morning and played in the afternoon had my best round for ages! Gross 89 I’m off 23 hcp The difference hitting my 5 wood was amazing 😊 thank you 🙏 I would love you to do a video on short putts I missed at least 3 less than 4 feet 😩 might be just a confidence thing? once you miss one 🤷🏻♂️ cheers Danny.
As always, usable information. Thank you, Danny.
Thanks Danny i was hitting woods all over the place because I had the ball in line with my lead foot. This video will help me the next time I'm out golfing.
Great add on to iron stance at address, the simple move of slight forward shaft lean has brought great improvement.
Thanks
Just cannot get consistency with these clubs😂. Went to utility irons and it’s changed my life. My goal now, for the range is to work away at my fairway woods, because it’s killing me knowing they’re the one club I can’t hit.
Hi Danny- Another great, simple to understand message. The ball positioning was especially important to me because I've always tended to hit fairway woods and hybrids too far forward and this smacked me right in the head and got my attention. Playing tomorrow and I'll post you on my progress. As always thanks for a great lesson.-Stay safe-Russ
Excellent lesson! I will approach my woods with confidence, thank you.
Pleasure Jonathan, really happy to help
Great instruction! Appreciate the tips. Pured my fairway woods and Driver today. Keep the coaching coming!
@SethnWendy you are most welcome. Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🙏🏻
My last few rounds, my woods have been very inconsistent and I can see now a lot of that is my stance. Even though I'm putting more weight on my left leg, I'm still standing too much like a driver in terms of foot position. This video along with your others on using woods should give me an advantage now! Thanks, Danny! Going out this afternoon so I will try to remember your tips!
Awesome Danny!!! Very understanding of the positions and the pressure on the left foot, when appropriate. Thank you so much!
Spot on video instruction. I like the bit about the spray powder as well... IMMEDIATE feedback is crucial.
Nice work!
I NEVER pull out my 3 wood. Because I top it every time. Turns out it is because I play the ball in the same position as I would a driver off the tee. You strike again sir, well played. Thank you.
Pleasure, happy to help
Thanks Danny I’ve been hanging back now I see why I’ve been hitting my fw woods and hybrids wrong you the best
Hi Danny
So I have been looking at your chipping guide.
Practised an hour before I played yesterday and what a transformation 👏 need to work on distance but strike was loads better than before.
So my comment on Fairway and Hybrid .. excellent will practice on Wednesday.
Your stance before strike looks nearer your front foot as opposed to your earlier shot showing 1 to 2 clubs off your lead foot. I struggle and my fault is playing more towards my front foot hence I top or hit low on the face.
Thanks for a great 👍 video.
All the best
Steve
I noticed that too Steven which may also have been one of the reasons why a caught the first one a little thin
Danny this lesson of yours couldn’t come at a better time! Thank you so much for explaining the ball positions for these fairway woods and hybrids. You’re excellent but you must be told that all the time! I’m saving this video! 😍😍👏
Foot powder is your friend for sure! Even work with it when hitting the irons into the net off the mat. Need to revisit this drill with the fairway wood as I have been “toppy” of late - with the occasional super sweet clean strike that goes and goes. Thanks for the practical and not instant cure but rather this will get you on your way guidance.
Super helpful. Play yesterday and used this technique throughout the day. Something so simple had a huge impact on my long game.
Thanks Bill 😁
Hi Danny, love your teaching and many thanks for sharing. Your last video on pitching helped me to shave 5 strokes !!! Lovely
Much clearer explanation this time, helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Danny. Again , I will try this on the range. My game has already approved a lot. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
Danny I’ve been looking all over for a tutorial like this for fairway woods and hybrid. Just brilliant. Much appreciated
