Curing the yips and developing finesse! Dan talks short game with Me and My Golf

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks for having us on the channel Dan. Ive been working on the high, soft one. Thanks

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Enjoyed it guys

[@fryalogue]

I grew up playing golf alongside Jordan Spieth. I emulated his chipping method - like Phil, Jordan gets pretty steep in the short game and tries to cover the ball. I never mastered it, and it gave me significant problems. Then I came across Dan and his teaching methods. Life changing. Softened everything up. Thank you. ❤

[@stephenpickering3300]

Jordon amd Phil are outliers who are amazing at controlling their low point which results in great contact. Us mere mortals and most tour pros don't have that ability and need to use the bounce better for a larger margin of error

[@thejoker7323]

I grew up playing with Tiger Woods, so there.

[@haroldb6773]

Never happened

[@RichardDarcy-q2g]

Interesting mate. I too are blaming a very good golfer for my poor chipping. Trying to emulate good players is not always the way.

[@fryalogue]

@@stephenpickering3300 it would have been nice to know that at 13… wouldn’t have wasted 16 years of my life thinking that’s the best way to chip lol

[@stevemazzilli4006]

I could listen to Dan all day discuss short game! He is like the Messiah!

[@DJOverpar]

Piers’s 3/4 lengths should not be allowed anywhere near a golf course.

Every video I pick something up to take to the course, thanks for helping my journey Dan

[@keithdonovan4822]

Dan teaches what I see great club players do...thanks for the help.

[@Micker375]

+1 golfer who’s had the chipping woes for about 8 years now ever since an old coach tried to get me chipping like Jason Day. Dan you’ve transformed my chipping - chipping like I did when I was a junior. Not afraid to use the wrists!! Thanks Dan, Thanks KZbin!

[@pjpredhomme7699]

I am curious - you say you ran into trouble trying to emulate Jason Day - which I assume you mean completely dead hands - no wrist hinging . That in itself would not create the problem you describe especially if you are as good of a player as you are . do you think it might be grip pressure . He does not emphasis much in the way of hinging - he certainly does not require your hands to be as inactive as Jason Day . If you watch JD closely - he is very fundamentally sound and he controls the speed of the club with his turn - pretty much exactly like Dan G says.

[@Micker375]

@@pjpredhomme7699 hey thanks for the comment. Let me start off by saying I think JD has a fantastic short game - he has mastered that action - which is little or no wrist hinge, ball forward, certain attack angle but the key being the fact he moves his body in the right way and turns beautifully. For his style to work there is a lot that needs to work in sync. I guess I never mastered all aspects which meant I was very inconsistent, it always felt like hard work and one or two things technically where off which lead to thins and chunks - once that happens then your confidence goes - yips. My back swing also became very short because I wasn’t really breaking my wrists or turning correctly. Which led to handle lean and thus thins and chunks! As a kid I didn’t know anything other than chipping with your wrists - and I was great, didn’t think about anything. My bunker play is great and always has been - because again bunker play is all wrists and you don’t have to be perfect with the strike. My hands are active through the ball (or at least feel active) with my irons and driver and I find it easier now having them active with chipping - at least with the releases anyway!

[@juliusvizgirdas1850]

Love it , so informative. Like your comment about how important is mental side in golf . Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, experience and knowledge

[@pauldalby8549]

And now Aaron has won on the PGA tour 🎉🎉

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes, amazing win. So happy.

[@geoffredrup9616]

I preferred them when they wore the same clothing. To be serious, Andy & Piers were probably the first I followed on YT. Then Danny Maude. You and Erica Larkin. Erica unlocked the key to my long game. I have always had a good short game due to how my brain is wired (creative) but you have improved on this which is why I recommend you to anyone I play with.

[@arslanmughal243]

Probably the best short game convention and content!! 👏👍

[@kirkjones2024]

Love that. Great video guys. I really enjoyed your Three Releases book Dan! I actually read it twice in Crete drinking some rum, whilst enjoying some relaxation in the sun and watching full coverage of The Open🤣 Thank you and cheers 🥃👌🏻

[@timmcgrath9708]

This is a great session. Andy is such a great low ego guy. Lets it all happen in front of him.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Tim. This was all about Piers' experience and allowing Dan to work his magic. 👍🏻

[@guapodallas]

It’s a process and the techniques and mindsets that Dan teaches so well are transformative. Well explained and easy to put into practice. Fantastic,,,,!

[@ianpentz3340]

After 6 years of yips and almost giving up golf, Dan you’ve cured the Y….. ( refuse to use the word) Gary Player said ince you have it, you’ll never get ride of it, can’t wait to see him again and tell him. Dale Hayes was I think 3 years European tour champion, he got the Y……. and it killed his career. Equipment with grinds and bounce certain helps our game. I now call is yes not Y……. as problem is solved. Thanks from an old codger that’s been playing for 50 years. I’m back to single handicap and no more grumpy when I come home 😂 happy golfer happy wife. 😊

[@Nodrog269]

Love this channel, master class old school is true school. Does what it does on the tin, a short game teaching to boost confidence to add another tool to the golf bag . Well done bro . Nod UK

[@bassmasta9117]

Love the vids Dan. I have become a master of the bump and run, but I am struggling with these higher lofted shots. One day I'll get the hang of it!

[@matthale9550]

My first thought when putting or chipping is relax, then soften the grip then pick the landing spot then maintain the path through contact to my landing spot

[@michaeltumen8574]

Great teaching video. I found it difficult to view the position of the left wrist Dan was recommending. Is the left wrist cupped or bowed? Is the position maintained throughout the swing in the release 2 & 3? Thank you!!

[@stevenchampion8137]

Lovely videos. Nice to be able to implement bits from various coaches. This really is a great facility too. Was treated to an hour on it last week.

[@simondowell5627]

Extremely helpful gents, thank you so much 🙏

[@michaelfogg4267]

You've really helped my short game, I really didn't have a clue to start with and i would avoid the practice area as I didn't want to embarrass myself but I'm now able to hit different shots and I don't dread playing shots from round the green anymore. Thanks 👍

What I wouldn’t give to play a course that looks as pristine as where you guys are! My local course has such shaggy rough just a few feet off the green collars. But I’ve been working on my chips with release 1, 2 and 3 positions and it’s made such a difference in both my confidence and results around the greens. Thanks so much!! 🏌🏻‍♂️

[@jfair79]

I was amazed as to the difference playing around with releases and the no thumbs grip. One hour on the practice ground and it was a total game changer

[@leecorcoran6174]

Another fantastic video ⛳️👍

[@Jits25]

Quality stuff once again

[@charlieprott4334]

the tip about the sound and duffing it on purpose might have just changed the game for me. forces you to use the bounce correctly and release the clubhead. genius

[@POJ92]

Hey Dan, how do you figure out how hard to hit a shot around the greens? Is it just practice and experience or is it something you can work on with a drill of some kind? My problem is distance control, not so much the shot itself. Thanks :)

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

I focus on a Landing Target when I Practice Release 2 and 3 at the Range. A Ball sitting in the Grass, a different colored Spot, a Shadow. I mix it up, 2 or 3 Balls and then switch Target. I Practice on mats that have a little give, so I will sometimes use a short Tee that raises the Ball about 2 Grooves above the Mat for Release 3.

@@DanGrieveGolf I understand Dan as a long time resident of Monte Rei I love to see the right pitching spin into the greens but I have often wondered how some compromise for people who don’t practice 2/3 times a week might keep the two games better aligned ?

Everyone is obsessed with face angle etc, with a good pair of hands you can control the loft as much as you want.....shut the club face and try flop it, see how much face control your hands will learn

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Disagree, of course yes you can make the face do what you want. I can hit just about any shot from any face position but it’s easier to not have to manipulate it.
