great information 10/10
Dan thank you for the ease that you explain and detail main topics together with video. I have learned a lot and have lowered my handicap from 18 to 14.5 in just one year of guidance. Looking to a lower 2025. Keep the info coming! Cheers to you and your staff 🏌🏽♂️⛳️ from New England 🇺🇸
Thanks again Dan! My golfing IQ is definitely improving!🏌️⛳
Dan is the best golf instructor on the planet and it's not even close.
Thanks, Dan. Another great video. Always makes me want to get out on the course.
What an amazing short game coach #dangrieve my own short game has improved beyond belief since following. 👏👏👏
Fantastic Dan thankyou,👌
Classic blunders: (1) Getting involved in a land war in Asia; (2) Going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line; (3) Playing for money against Dan Grieve with 52 degree wedges.
Best in the biz 🙌🏼
This is such a traditional gold channel i love it!!!
Dan is the best, how many times does he hole out during instructional videos 👏
So basically, get rid of the 60. Jokes aside, very good video!
Thanks as always Dan. Question please. Do you advocate using fatter grips on wedges and the 52* in particular?
Every single golfer should be watching these videos
Thanks…so many great tips..
Doing great Dan ! Have a great vacation
Thank God I found you i bought your book in amazon
Very useful again- Thanks
Am I going blind or is this blurry and hard to see the ball?
Love where it went in since the very first shot he took😂 hands down the great master of the short game 🙏from Bangkok
This is just golden 😅
Mistake 7 on our 7th hole has a pond filled with balls. I will have to watch this video again as several of=those balls are mine!
“Oh it’s gone in the hole”
If that was me I’d still be celebrating
Awesome video Dan
Thanks for the advice my short game was terrible yesterday 😂
For the 60 yards in, how do you control distance with 52 and 56 degree knowing if you hit it too hard it would be over the green? Is there any practice drills or ways of getting yardage more accurate with a lower lofted club when hitting softer shots under 100 yards?
I must say, you have helped me SO MUCH with my bunker play.
Dan is the only instructor to casually sink chip ins in every video
Dan can you do one video where you demonstrate all 3 of your releases at the dams time. You always say which release you are using but it’s hard to see the keys to each one.
Thanks, Dan.
Outstanding vid man. Thanks. It really helps knowing that we need to switch certain clubs for the various ball locations. Versus trying to full swing the wrong club. That's a poor habit of mine. Much appreciated!
Thanks Dan Always a great watch 👏👌
As a high handicapper, this is a bit like a Sunday footballer looking at premier league training tips.
I keep my gapwedge in my hand. My sand wedge in the bag. And my lob wedge in the garage.
Superb tips, thanks Dan!
For someone who is struggling with the short game at the moment,this instruction video has some great information.
fantastic, clear coaching Dan, thank you! I love way you drop in "oh look, it's gone in…" as if it's an afterthought 🤣
3 releases has helped me more than any other single thing I’ve done for my game. Thank you Dan.
Like Dan says, if you grip the club too tight, there's no give in the club face. It's like when a footballer (soccer player) receives a quick pass. He takes the sting out of it by relaxing his foot and allowing the ball to knock his foot back to take the speed off the ball.
Great video lesson, thanks
