The Dan Grieve Short Game Practice Routine!

[@ShelbyMerchantMusic]

Dan we don’t deserve you! I love the fact that none of your content is click bait. It’s all great genuine and honest content. You’ve changed the game for so many people. Thank you 🙏 ⛳️

[@joeytraer532]

I agree, always had issues with blading and diffing chips all my 20 years of golf. After the video of 3 releases i’m consistant around the greens and i have a totaly different golf game

[@kevinfan8477]

With every video Dan gets more and more bundled up 😂 Just bought your book Dan, super excited to dive into it!

[@rob.b3293]

It a great book. Release 1 is so reliable and is need at the courses I play. The other two releases have really sharped up as well. Enjoy

[@neilpearce]

Oh crap yeah, I keep forgetting I have the book 🤣

[@AceEnt-mk1nl]

I like the traditional bobble hat rather than boring beanie. Oh and the book's great.

[@carsonkubicki1770]

He would practice in any weather to help his fellow man or woman improve their short game!

[@macca721nu]

By far the easiest instructions to follow for an average golfer. If I could get this sort of clear instruction for my driver I would surely be a better player 😅

[@malthuswasright]

These short game shots are what will really get your handicap lower. That and putting.

[@stefanzietara9509]

I’m delighted to see this practise session and how it’s structured, especially during UK winter months. Thank you Dan. 👍

Best tip I’ve picked up is the “shoulder tilt”. THANK YOU Dan❤

[@oc1625]

Me too and I think I've realised that the excessive tilt is affecting my irons too

[@bawilliams6950]

Same here great tip! I have to be aware of that all the time in my setup now too

[@E_z_3]

Dan, THANK YOU for these amazing videos! You break down the chipping game so damn well, I made a 27yrd chip in birdie last week because of your tips. I have recommended you to everyone I know. My confidence is at an all time high around the greens! 🙏🏽

[@whaleshark2625]

Dan is literally the short game Father Christmas. I've had the book for almost a year now and this content is amazingly effective at reinforcing and clarifying the techniques.

[@fishingotheradventuresonke7996]

There are not enough superlatives to describe these videos. Thanks Dan for taking the time make them, it is greatly appreciated. If there are any of you watching these videos that haven’t bought Dan’s book I would highly recommend it, the combination of both has improved my short game beyond belief. 🏌️‍♂️👍

[@coreygardner8424]

Thanks Dan is probably enough, all we can see is ur feet hanging outa his butt after that sentence 😂

[@davehill5539]

Has become the fun and interesting and challenging part of golf. Was mystical pre-Dan

Since I have been following the Release3 method, I have regularly chipped it in my last few rounds. Fantastic advice. Thank you.

Dan you are a awesome you can walk it as well as talk it great instruction changed my game completely

[@rishipoddar8506]

I love the short game and it is also the strongest part of my game. This video has clarified on the finer points on follow through for me. Thank you Dan for such a clear, concise video.

[@adambolton2836]

Marvelous video. Your book + your videos+ frequent practice= lower scores. Thanks for posting and the "how to practice" and analyze yourself videos are the best.

[@elginclemons3540]

Dan has completely changed how chip and pitch and it was been a great transition. Dan thank you for share you wisdom.

Very good tuition your chipping seem impeccable

I am a great driver of the ball but my short game sucks 2025 will be the year of short game practise tnx to you Dan I am inspired to learn how to better my game .

[@juanhunglow2220]

The best short game out there practicing…….. says it all really. Reiterates what Gary Player famously said “ The more I practice the luckier I get”

[@RobertKritsberg]

I've had the chipping yips for a long time. Went out yesterday, chipped 6 times and got up and down 3 times. Thank you for an easy setup and swing system. Finally feel like I can start to chip with some confidence.

[@ExcelBaller]

Shot 73 at a new course today, as a 4 index I usually play around mid to high 70s - my short game had improved so much thinking thru the lie, the club, and the release, and leaving the lob wedge in the bag. If you haven’t gotten the book you should definitely give it a read. Thanks Dan!

[@NYcomposer]

Another super helpful video from the short game wizard. Thank you, Dan

[@Michael-bi9ll]

I’m grateful for coming across your channel, I hated the sand wedge before, today I made my first birdie and parred 2 more holes in the 9 holes I played, scored my best score today also.. very happy

[@p4fizzle]

Nice one!

Really helpful on the technique on these shots. Working around the body with the club. Bravo!

[@UpDownGolf]

Really enjoyed that Dan. Big fan of that pressure practice segment at the end. I'll be including that in future 👍 Cheers!

[@joeyclark3995]

Super insightful video on how to have a quality short game practice session in a short amount of time.

[@robmoore2625]

I have just purchased a hardcopy of your book on Amazon as a birthday gift to myself. I'm looking forward to it! Your videos are so great. I am watching each one carefully. Thank you 🙏

[@Blazermichel]

I just got into golf since I was a kid and your system is absolutely beautiful. It made me fall in love with chipping and I am already excelling. Thank you Dan! Please keep the content coming.

[@scottvice6424]

Brilliant! Your book is excellent. Enjoy your sincere, clear instruction. Compliments from a 33 year PGA coaching professional in the US.

[@psyWAR1988]

Yea, Dan is a beast. I appreciate his artful ability in short game. Could watch all day.

[@ajrangar]

Started golf last year! And I owe you a lot for the improvement I ve seen in my short game! Thanks Dan for this amazing session!

[@DonAl9114]

Dan. Your videos give me so much of motivation to work harder on my short game. The way you explain each different shot is extremely good. Thank you again and hope we see more from you. Stay well. 😊😊. AL 🇩🇪

[@paultaylor5502]

This is amazing, I played off +3 in the day and thought my short game was decent, nah, workmanlike but nothing more. This site is brilliant and insightful, keep up the great work.

[@Neil83f]

Absolutely tops in training and simple delivery. Much love and regards for your videos Dan. 🙏

[@anthonygale5151]

A great video but I have one suggestion and 0:31 that would be to show split screen of the down line perspective and at the same time the face on perspective. Face on will give the length of swing and finish and down the line shows posture, body rotation and resulting ball flight.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Quite simply a must watch video! 18 handicap golfer who struggled for years, all I ever wanted was a repeatable technique to trust! I now have 2 absolute go tos, possibly a third although I haven't got the confidence to nail that option yet! Thanks Dan, in my save list

[@carloliver5687]

Thanks for your time. Dan, I am looking forward to using your techniques.🎉

[@joethompson8147]

Tremendous work. Very clear explanation.

[@kenhenley3904]

I started watching your videos early this Spring and bought your book and I have had more chip-ins and more up and downs as well as more saves from the sand this year already than probably the last five years combined! Thank you! Oh how I wish I had run across this info sooner and really quite simple too!

[@rayclark8919]

Just great stuff. Thanks so much for the great instruction. I’m a former PGA member and got my amateur status back. Short game is where it’s at and your knowledge is so incredibly helpful.

[@masnidu]

One of the best short game lessons, thanks for sharing 👍

[@johncraw356]

Found out about Dan from the Mark Immelman podcast "On the Mark". Wow what a wealth of knowledge. I help teach a local high school team and we are definitely going to be putting into practice the three releases. Thank you so much

I've read the book and putting it into practice. It's making a huge difference to my short game. My long game is not good ATM, but still managed to par the back 9 because of my short game keeps bailing me out. Thanks Dan

[@alancrombie8484]

Just fantastic, Dan. So clear & your commentary on your 'feels' really helps. Thanks so much for this video.

[@jacobr4558]

Thank you thank you thank you Dan! Your instruction and your book are absolute game changers! It is so amazing how you can take something so complex and make it palatable and make it actionable. Instantly changed my short game and I was already pretty well along with understanding but you gave me a lot of structure. In my opinion you are exactly what a teaching professional should be. I mean that in the most complimentary way possible you epitomize what teaching truly is. I'm sure it's taken you a lot of time and effort to make all of this seem so simple and I thank you.

[@pauldalby8549]

First class Dan. Good way to spend productive time in cold weather

[@jdubs9922]

Your videos are great! Never seen the 3 releases before. Can't wait to start practicing them when the snow melts.

Thanks Dan! Really helpful! Great book also that’s really helped my game. Australia ❤

The thumbs off stops me from flinching. Been struggling with chip yips for years. Can wait to get to the practice green to keep working on this. Thanks Dan.

Great practice session. Covers all releases and the sand. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@frankpugh68]

good video, thanks. I am really focusing on my short game this year. I realized how much of a difference it makes. Thanks again for the videos and the great discussion that comes along with the demonstrations.

[@railroller]

Great video Dan. Your pressure game will be added to my routine immediately! I like to keep a running competition between hole outs and shots that finish off the green. Please practice reading the green. On my very steep practice green, I drill on trying to leave a six inch putt coming straight up the hill. Brad Faxon advises one to locate that spot as soon as possible. I see so many golfers practicing wedges who hit an uphill shot a bit long and left and think they hit a good shot. They three putt from that position on the golf course and then blame their putting.

[@jrodd0077]

Dan, I’m watching every vid i can find of you on YT and just picked up your book. Im now going to short game area first 🤣 Ty

[@seanmurtagh4644]

Unbelievable video Dan. Looking forward to more insights and improving my short game!

[@SM-dv6wi]

Good stuff , I would have putted 80% of the shots you just demonstrated. I’m havin many chipping issues of late.!!!😢

[@michaeloify]

Thanks Dan. Currently have the shanks when pitching so an equivalent video for your pitching technique would go down a treat!

[@golfprodave]

Tiger once said talking about Mo Norman how great it must feel to wake up each day knowing your going to hit it great every time. This must be how Dan feels with his short game.As a fellow golf pro i have learned more from these videos and his book in the past weeks than i have in 50 years of golf.EVERY golfer should read Dans book, Dan is an absolute Genius

[@_ErIc1976]

I’m new to this channel and just want to say thank you 🙏 I can’t wait to go practice

I also have the book but it’s great to see ‘live’ action of the three releases by the author of the book…wish he came up north to give lessons!!

[@philgoss165]

Pure class 👌followed you on instagram dan for a long time..uve changed my short game completely it’s the soft hands let the club drop philosophy u have which is second to none..I was given a good tip out of bunkers the other day..I see a lot of people at times losing their right arm..it becomes detached..so the tip I was given was tuck your sleeve in and hold it under your right armpit..tried some bunkers wow amazing results..swing was so compact..keep ‘em coming 👌👌👌

[@walterwinstanley8502]

All your videos are a joy to watch. I hope I manage to get on one of your golf schools this year.

[@philpugh958]

Brilliant Dan thank you. Thumbs off grip is a great routine though harder than it looks. The pressure routine is something I've done with putting, great idea to add in chipping. Just need the rain to stop!

[@dougm659]

Great guidance as always Dan….I’m also a big fan of the 7-9 iron bump n run shots, low tariff, very reliable compared to spinning lofted shots!

[@sausagembape677]

These are pretty much the best instructional content on KZbin. One major difference is that Dan isn't a bad teacher, anyone who adds PGA to their name is usually useless.

[@The_Madd_Golfer]

Great video! I've had much of the same issue where my trail shoulder gets low in the setup, so I have to consciously set up more level so my club doesn't dig. I've been using your 1, 2, 3 release concept, and it's been great. Thanks for making it so simple to understand and feel.

[@grant2011]

Legend as always, cheers Dan!

[@JiKimbo]

Awesome Dan. I can't wait till some better weather and getting off fairway mats so i can get practicing the three releases properly. 👍

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

The one thing i noticed in the short game with different clubs, ie Callaway DCB, TM 790 and Ping i200, is the way the ball comes off these clubs, its chalk and cheese in the way the ball feels and come off the face. next set of clubs i get will depend a lot on feel, some of the above have absolutely no feel, the best is the Ping but i am sure there are better feeling clubs out there.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

Schedule a Club Fitting for your next set of Irons. If you can get to a Pro Shop or Golf Store that allows you to "Hit Indoors" RESEARCH by trying short Pitches and Chips with any Irons you might be interested in. Find 2 or 3 Models that "Feel Good" for Short Shots and then select those Models to test during your Fitting. 😉

[@michaelmueller6092]

Love these vids. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@JBCharognard]

Fantastic video! I really love this 15-20 min format. It's really helpful. I noted the "holster" tip, which I'm going to focus on next time. You mentioned how you make sure to make the ball fly straight toward the pin. I struggle with the dispersion (both on the left and right). Could you please explain in a next video how you do that for each release, both on the grass and the sand? It would be amazing!

[@robertcornelius8056]

Dan Grieve is the book of answers

[@jafalad]

This is great content, Dan - thank you so much! The technical points are so insightful. I play a short game drill where I chip to 9 nine pins and have to hole out with a putter. I scatter 9 balls around the practice area so bunker shots are included as well. I use the scoring system where up and down is a birdie; anything higher is bogey. Have you demonstrated the chip putt in your videos? This shot saves me so many times. Hole out with a lot too.

[@Ddelsasso]

Ok, finally. This guy knows what he’s doing.

[@snakenation7765]

Absolutely bloody brilliant 👏

[@henryweston8273]

Love the random throwing the ball. I also do that and use a random number generator on my phone to determine which pin i go to :)

[@r.frederick4775]

Love it Dan. 1 day I will have a lesson from you!!! That's a goal!!!

Dan Grieve has changed the way - for the better - amateur golfers approach the short game. Not just a swing tip or two but understanding there are different techniques required for different chips and pitches. Many thanks Dan for helping turn previous weaknesses into strengths and giving golfers new found confidence and lower scores.

[@rihaland2241]

Thank you for the great video 👊

[@dmpt39]

Great teaching videos. In NA, most greens are elevated and chip shots are on uphill lie, leads to chunked or skulled shot too often. Advice
