Dan, thank you for your teaching. I so grateful to find your videos, I also ordered you're book. Within 3 weeks of 2 x per week of practicing the short game, my playing buddies noticed a difference. Release 1,2 and 3 took a lot of my mental thinking out and made me focus on the execution of the release. what a game-changer.
Get the book! all these guys with their lasers and watches on the course know nothing. All I carry in the bag is Dan's ebook on my kindle. My only complaint is that it makes other people way too jealous of my chipping game. And Dan is an absolute golfing saint. You can put faith in him that no matter where you are in the world, no matter how bad things are going, even if it's you that wronged and it's your fault. If you will but hit the holy release 1,2 or 3, he will say a short prayer of 'get in, amen' to the golfing gods for your ball's safe passage to the hole and to ward off any bogies. The next time you are near a green, give a couple release 1 or 2s a try, you might be surprised at just how quickly good grace comes your way and by how kindly the course treats you. Thank you Dan for sharing your wisdom and your blessings!
I wish you’d been doing short game videos years ago. Great explanations of technique, with patience and understanding. Best short game coach I have ever seen.
So very grateful Dan's videos like these. I'm a beginner who doesn't get to play much, and cannot afford lessons. But, I bought Dan's book, and made checklists on Release 1 and 2 so far. When practicing, I've already had a bit of success with some of my shots. Very rewarding when done correctly. Thanks Dan!
Seeing the players flaws and the fix was very helpful. I'm able to recognize the players flaws immediately now. The visualization was key. Simple uncluttered instructions. Brilliant !!
I watched the Rick Sheils video with Dan. The point he made of not to drive the handle/grip of the club and of swinging longer and slower plus his hinge/release/rotate position has improved my short game a lot !
Finding that Rick Shiels video was a God wink for me. Long video that was the grail of short game golf instruction I'd been looking for. Now I'm a Dan Grieve fan watching everything the man produces. Good post!
Same! I figured this out on my own. So many teachers talk about shaft lean and leading with the hands. This really messed up my chipping and wedge shots. Now, I have my feet much closer together and have a more shallow, rotational swing. Also, tempo is key when it comes to short game and wedges.
@brianschultz7320 Yeah, I remember when I started playing golf, and before I read tips on how to play chips, I never had a problem with chipping. But all that clap trap about putting the ball back in your stance and driving the hands forward ruined my game.
Dan, thanks for these very informative videos. The Caddie Master at a particular golf club introduced me to your instruction after I expressed frustration with my short game and looking for a local coach. I watched your Rick Shiels video and bought the book immediately after. Your short game methods have completely transformed my thinking and approach around the greens. I’m not there yet, but I can see where it is going. Most importantly, the confidence is returning and the all too frequent yips are disappearing. I’d love to see some future videos on playing out of nasty Bermuda lies or even a short game school in the US. I’m looking forward to learning more and becoming a wedge wizard! Thanks again for your help!
@commonman317 Rick Sheils introduced me to this channel too, and I've loved the content ever since! And like you, I watched the Rick Sheils video again and again!
Amazing!!! Real world practice. Dan has such a calming demeanor. Would love to see the rest of his game. I imagine he's got to be pretty damn good tee to green.
Very helpful to see other golfers try the techniques. It looks so easy when a pro shows a new stroke, but the amateurs show how we may go wrong. I really enjoy the Shot Selection tests. That’s really the most crucial part. Cheers.
Bought the book , not read all of it but watched all the content , huge improvement in short game technique and also short game IQ Practiced short game tonight after a few weeks off , just clicked straight back in to it .
Just a great video to watch full of such relatable shots and coaching. I pick something up from every one I watch. Dan's coaching style is brilliant and how he addresses every player's needs individually is great to watch and listen to. ’👍
Great video this with real normal golfers! I think the lie is the key thing I’ve learnt from Dan, I always want to play a release 2 as it looks better. However as Dan has pointed out with firm or muddy lies - release 2 soft landing is very difficult to execute!
Dan, can you pls show how to play short bunker shots? On our course, bunkers on both sides of the greens demand short shots. If more than 10-12 m, you are at the other side in trouble.
Dan, I appreciate your chipping video's they are very informative. My problem with chipping is making good contact with the ball. I have a fear of fat shots, and skulling the ball. How do I fix this phobia and just make a consistent impact hit on the ball....Thank you
Great video Dan. I purchased your book and started implementing your techniques and they have worked wonders. However, since I am trying to be more shallow, I’ve stared blading some of the balls. Can you make a video explaining why this happens as it is not very detailed in the videos or the book. Maybe a “troubleshooting” guide of the issues that one might have would be excellent. Either way great content and excellent book.
why do you have square buckets in England and we have round buckets in the US for balls??? love the content Dan! made some huge differences in my chipping technique
General question - the softer the hands, the more the wrists want to hinge naturally while I change direction... Is this just getting more comfortable with a slower backswing on short shots? I've always liked a quicker tempo.
Dan, do you have a formula for which club to pick given the flight vs roll distance (like the Rule of 12 chipping ) how many parts flight vs how many parts roll?? Thanks! Love your system! If this is answered in your book I’ll eventually get to it but going through it slowly. My short game is getting much better!! Thank you!!
A thing that he said was don’t pick a club until you assess the lie. My gut says he’d respond with you start there and then have to assess if it’d be a release 1 or 2 next. 3 for extreme cases, too.
Dan, In chipping do you like to see a wide takeaway with very little wrist cock or prefer to see more wrist set? Also what are your thoughts on a long rear arm in the takeaway as opposed to bending the rear arm from the elbow early? Thanks.
Hi Dan love you’re videos fella however think the video quality could be a little better 🙏 now I initially thought my Samsung phone quality was poor then I tried my iPhone and to be honest fella it wasn’t any better bud the Video’s always seemed to be into the sun if that makes sense I don’t know if anyone else has commented? As a mid handicap golfer that struggles with his short game visualisation is everything if that makes sense 🙏🙏🙏
The challenge of the winter sun, its low in the sky hence why it’s not as clear. Also slightly need to remember none of this is staged/planned. I’m a full time coach not a full time you tuber.
Does anybody know if it costs anything to go and practise in this short game area? I’m not too far from woburn, do i have to be a member or is it for visitors too?
"You took 2 practice swings and your brain saw the ball go into the hole". My dumbass brain would still see the ball lip out or fly the hole by 10 yards 😂
Every time I watch a Dan Grieve video I want. To go out and practice. Great content….

lol I can feel the nervousness and mental strain going on in these guys. Trying so hard to get it right. Welcome to golf!!

Dan Grieves is a legend! This content plus his book is so, SO helpful! Looking forward to more! Thanx Dan!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the lie, trajectory, and situation discussions. CANNOT get enough of that.
I wish you’d been doing short game videos years ago. Great explanations of technique, with patience and understanding.
Best short game coach I have ever seen.
More to come!

Absolutely fantastic golf instruction made understandable and simple thanks a million

So many little gems in this video!

great knowledge great coach great content 🔥 love it!
Dang TH-cam needs help with short game too?
Whatttt I’ve never seen TH-cam comment on a video
Thanks for a great day on this short game school. Always a pleasure being part of it.
See you in the new year!!

Love these longer videos! Will watch every second, and probably multiple times!
Same here. I lost track of how many times I watched his video with Rick Shiels.

Practiced short game tonight after a few weeks off , just clicked straight back in to it .
So grateful for this content. Thank You Dan. So much to take in with every video you do. One day I will make it there for a lesson..
Thanks Jacob. Glad to help. Best, Dan
This guy is amazing im so glad i came across his channel. Awesome
Great work Dan thank you, your tips have helped me improve. Loving it!!
Just a great video to watch full of such relatable shots and coaching. I pick something up from every one I watch. Dan's coaching style is brilliant and how he addresses every player's needs individually is great to watch and listen to. ’👍
Awesome ❤ Thank you!
Please keep the uploads coming
Dan = Genius 🎉😊😊
If one day you plan to come to France (Tours), would love to meet you. You are an amazing coach ! All the best !
Great video this with real normal golfers!
I think the lie is the key thing I’ve learnt from Dan, I always want to play a release 2 as it looks better. However as Dan has pointed out with firm or muddy lies - release 2 soft landing is very difficult to execute!
I’m convinced doing a session like this will shave 10 strokes off my handicap at least
Amazing coach sooo patient !
Walked up, hit the 7 iron and watched it run just passed the hole so proficiently
His shallow and short follow-through looked just like Trevino’s
Yess!!!!
More of these!
Great insight 👌 thanks
Dan, can you pls show how to play short bunker shots? On our course, bunkers on both sides of the greens demand short shots. If more than 10-12 m, you are at the other side in trouble.
Man, wish I could come to one of these in person.
Great stuff! Dan any time you’re in NZ let me know. I need a lesson from you.
Dan, I appreciate your chipping video's they are very informative. My problem with chipping is making good contact with the ball. I have a fear of fat shots, and skulling the ball. How do I fix this phobia and just make a consistent impact hit on the ball....Thank you
Thanks Dan you’ve really helped my game. Do you ever do clinics in southern Spain?
Great video Dan. I purchased your book and started implementing your techniques and they have worked wonders. However, since I am trying to be more shallow, I’ve stared blading some of the balls. Can you make a video explaining why this happens as it is not very detailed in the videos or the book. Maybe a “troubleshooting” guide of the issues that one might have would be excellent. Either way great content and excellent book.
Hi could be many reasons. Probably not setting up left enough and have too much shoulder tilt but guessing without seeing. But try that.
why do you have square buckets in England and we have round buckets in the US for balls??? love the content Dan! made some huge differences in my chipping technique
reason enough to move to GB :)
General question - the softer the hands, the more the wrists want to hinge naturally while I change direction... Is this just getting more comfortable with a slower backswing on short shots? I've always liked a quicker tempo.

My question pertains to release 1, chip and run..
Dan, In chipping do you like to see a wide takeaway with very little wrist cock or prefer to see more wrist set? Also what are your thoughts on a long rear arm in the takeaway as opposed to bending the rear arm from the elbow early? Thanks.
Dan, can you come give a school in Florida ?
Dan
Any advice if I’m trying to apply your tips on short grass but I’m taking a divot ?
Thx!
Hi Dan 1 quick question. In the past I've use my putter grip for chip a run release 1, would recommend this or my full swing grip?
Hi Dan love you’re videos fella however think the video quality could be a little better 🙏 now I initially thought my Samsung phone quality was poor then I tried my iPhone and to be honest fella it wasn’t any better bud the Video’s always seemed to be into the sun if that makes sense I don’t know if anyone else has commented?

We want you on a good good video!!!
Hi Dan just enquiring on how to book a lesson with yourself. And what is the cost for an hour lesson??
Don’t think he does 1 hour. £600 for 2 hours or £900 for 3 hours
Does anybody know if it costs anything to go and practise in this short game area? I’m not too far from woburn, do i have to be a member or is it for visitors too?
"You took 2 practice swings and your brain saw the ball go into the hole". My dumbass brain would still see the ball lip out or fly the hole by 10 yards 😂
Wide & open will become my passwords…
when the greenkeeper is wearing shorts and a polo shirt and you are ready to visit the arctic....
You can see his brain ticking over on how to help
