3 Golf Shots that will Lower Your Scores Around the Green

[@gvonseeger]

I am 74 years old and play 3 times a week with practice sessions mixed in. I have read and watched countless videos from known and unknows and taken 3-4 day golf clinics. I can honestly say that Danny's golf instructions are clear, concise and informative. Very well communicated and demonstrated. Keeping it simple and clear produces results. Thanks Danny for keeping it simple to follow and informative to train us.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you very kind 😁

[@losova7543]

Wish I could afford to play 3-4 times a week plus practice sessions in-between but I don't have deep pockets for all that.

[@gregfreehauf7103]

It’s called retirement!

[@cameroncollings2375]

He is obviously retired at 74 and memberships are not that expensive keep your thoughts to yourself you troll

[@FS_outdoors]

Get a part time job at a course. Free rounds and free range ​@@losova7543

[@bigtony2441]

Watched this earlier today and then just got back from range. I tried this down there as it’s such a poor part of my game but after trying and practicing that swing technique with arm close to body I instantly see the difference. And I for once actually felt comfortable and like I had control with my chip shots. Got a game tomorrow and now looking forward to being 20 yards out from green instead of dreading it..THANKS Danny

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Tony, thanks for sharing

[@rolirolster]

I recommend all of Danny's chipping videos. His techniques have completely changed my game, in fact got a birdie chip on a par 3, from ten yards out yesterday 😁

[@NickolaiVolkov]

Yo! I know it was a year ago, but I'm interested to know - how did that game go for ya, Tony?

[@psrpete]

One of the best teachers and most relatable teachers on the internet!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support

[@zahrazidaneasrulhafiz159]

Totally agree

[@marybethblend4446]

Agree!!!

[@johngoodpasture7832]

The art of golf is played 50 yards and in. That’s where you win or lose or have a good day or note. Keep these coming Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely John

[@paullineberry7380]

5 chip in birdies since I started using your techniques around the green a few months back and I’m giving you all the credit. Consequently, having those shorter par putts are keeping my scores lower. Thanks again Danny!!!🙏🏻

[@DanielMaude]

Brilliant Paul, well done

[@BucsDucs99]

I haven't had a chance to try to put these videos to use, but having watched a lot of golf videos from a lot of instructors, the way Danny is able to contextualize things in a really easy way is extremely impressive. I feel like the way Danny is teaching this stuff sticks in my brain much better than most.

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind, happy to help

[@btrain4122]

Genuinely tried these when required today without practice and they worked. Such simple explanations and description. Well done and thank you. Never scored lower than 120 and got 97 today. Keep up the good work!

[@michaeljbrennan3728]

Watched this video last night just before bedtime. I did not have a chance to practice the second and third shots in this video. I had already put the first one in my game from another video. Put the flop and lob shots into play today. They helped me save par three times. The chip shot helped me birdie the hardest hole on my home course. Shot a 82 (lowest score in the past 3 seasons) six shots lower than yesterday. Your videos along with a lesson from a pro a few months ago have helped my game improve. Thanks for the great instruction. Please keep up the great work on your videos.

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Michael, really happy to help

[@jankoenig3737]

Danny Maude I have been watching studying and practicing using your videos as my foundation for practice and play since the beginning of the Pandemic. At age 67 with a hip replacement shot 82 from the regular men’s tees last week, carding my second career hole in one and kick in birdie for my lowest score in four years. I know I can shoot in the 70s again with a little more practice and play keep up the excellent instruction, your a brilliant teacher so I nominate you as a true Professor of Golf!

[@user-xq5dh8fv2i]

There wasn't the advantage of internet and KZbin when i was in my teens, growing up we just swung a club everyday until you became proficient. Its been 30yrs since i swung a club until recently in my early 50s, i decided it was time to rekindle my love of golf again. Bombarded with so many teaching videos its easy to become burnt-out with all the unrelatable styles. It took me a few weeks to stumble across Danny's videos and instantly felt at ease with his enthusiasm and friendly manner in which he comes across. I suffer with anxiety and my head noise gets the better of me at times, but watching these drills actually sinks in, giving me clarity when i need it most. You've a great way of making the watcher feel involved, and engaged in your teaching technique Danny. I've a long way to go to get my confidence back, to where I'm relaxed and able to find consistency again in my game, but your technique of simplifying and breaking down each shot to a basic form, is something that will help me get closer to the fairways and greens in a lot less shots than it currently does. Thank you for making the time to help so many others enjoy they're golf 🙏

[@alexkyp9147]

Followed your advice - 8 iron - saved me 3 to 4 shots today - thanks heaps from Melbourne Australia

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Alex

[@pocketduces]

Danny thanks for consuming all of my morning today. I was so distracted from your video that I quit doing what Im doing and heading over to my local course to give this a try. You're awesome my man, keep up the great tips and love your simple explanation. Now I have to go explain to my wife why Im going to the course. Thanks a lot, Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Love it, this game is addictive

[@JK-cv9jf]

My favorite KZbin golf instructor, because he makes things more simple and relates golf swings to sports that I've played all my life. Has helped my swing become loose and easy instead of one that involved clenching my teeth and butt muscles.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great J K, thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@BobTaile]

You have a great way of not only teaching how to play a shot - but why. This greatly assists the learning process for beginners. Thank you

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help, thank you

[@chrisrabak4104]

very thorough, thank you

[@songyop]

I really like these around-the-green shots lessons!

[@DanielMaude]

hope they help

[@ginge5168]

Just forwarded to my brother he needs this, I am sure he will be thanking you mr Maude, great video as always 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️

[@DanielMaude]

Fingers crossed! Thank you

[@kevinspencer8036]

Great instruction on such important shots. Particularly like the chip and run 8 iron demonstration, a go to shot onto the green.

[@toddlittle926]

Your teaching delivery is simple and understandable, without over complicating tecniques

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Todd

[@courtneyroy270]

Dan Dan your the man, confidence sometimes let's us down, believing we can make the shot, I often find when we think of a bad shot, guess what. Nice to see you dan

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Courtney

[@trevorpathak6886]

Once again Danny your skill to bridge the mind of the Coach to the Pupil has been achieved. A complex movement simply explained and executed to perfection. I’ve had some really excellent coaches over past 10 years, none has achieved the ability to get my swing to behave naturally and fire the club head through the ball with accuracy and power. Thank you. 🙏🏾👏🏾

[@alexandrews4161]

Great lesson Danny. Technique definitely, confidence is the mindset

[@DanielMaude]

so true Alex

[@AranDollay]

I like this video. A fine simplification of my “around the green” armoury. Much appreciated!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s really kind, so happy to help

[@747Durango]

This is such a great, concise breakdown and demonstration of three shots all golfers must have. I am going to watch this 100 times until I get confident with all 3. I use my 8 iron a LOT. The other two are not so easy. I have the MOST trouble on tight lies. Very tough and nervy.

[@paullineberry7380]

Thanks Danny, for another great video. I took these 3 shots to the range today and was amazed at how simple they were to execute. I even had a guy come up to me on the chipping green and asked for a tip on what to do. Of course, I referred him to your video. Great stuff. Thanks again!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Paul, thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@jaylevzi7293]

I always thought you had to trap the ball to get the backspin!!!! Explains why I never got backspin ! LOL thank you Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, this is ok for full shots off the fairway because you have lots of club head speed. For short shots we need to keep the speed but increase the loft

[@alyoon6590]

Great tips! Just went over these with my 10 years old daughter and she got them all. She’ll be adding them to her quiver of shots. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome 👏

[@anmfoyezurrahman8662]

Always a pleasure to watch Danny. Grt guy, helping us all.

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind thank you

[@HIblue187]

Today, I practiced the golf tip of striking the ball over a Sand Trap. It works! I even dropped the club by it’s own weight and let the club do the work. Thank you, Danny.

[@MrMukesht]

Yes great master class Danny. I tried chipping using your teaching, wow what a difference and so much easier. Thank you again Danny. May you keep giving honest and great training

[@DanielMaude]

Always, thanks for the support

[@MrRichardHinds]

Great video. I've not been concentrating on shot 2 and 3 recently - time to get back in the garden to have a go 😊

I just got on and tried these now. Changed my chipping. I was going to give up golf for a while I was feeling that bad. Thanks!

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing Jason, well done

[@brendanmackinney5440]

Hi Danny, I've no idea if you see the comments from older videos but I know you love feedback so I thought I'd let you know that in my nett 2 under medal round at the weekend I parred the 18th after finding myself next to the green with a bunker between me and the pin cut about 4 yards on. I've watched this video a few times and have been out practicing the shots around our short game area so when I walked up to the ball and took a look I had the confidence to take the shot on, as I lined up I had your voice in my head making sure I got the right set up to play the 'flop'. An excellent up and 4ft putt down later the par was secured. Thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

How good is that Brendan? Congratulations. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

[@gregreid8348]

As you mentioned in the video, you have to be fully committed to your swing when playing the lob shot in order to execute it properly. Great tips! Thanks.

[@jmochnacs]

you did it again and again! always bringing light to me!

[@DanielMaude]

Really happy to help Javier

[@paullineberry7380]

Chipped in for birdie today, using your technique. Short game is a ton better. Thanks Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

thats awesome Paul, well done

[@VGA2F]

Just tried all three shots a few times today in actual play. The 2nd and 3rd shot can confirm made a huge impact on my game. The 3rd one really is a “just believe in it” shot. I could not get the first hit correctly, but I’ll keep on practicing.

[@DanielMaude]

You can do it Andrew

[@Willie-t5409]

Great lesson Danny - best words ever "fully commit to the shot". These are my three fave shots to work on around the house - I have three "holes" cut in the yard for my grandson to play to (roughly 20 to 25 yards apart). I can play each and have some semblance of real course action. Nothing like be near GIR and knowing that I have the shot to get the ball close to the hole for a shot a par.

[@Sachora]

Your content is the absolute best I've ever seen

[@DanielMaude]

Really kind Cory

[@Sachora]

@@DanielMaude I went out on the driving range and hit my irons better than I ever have in my life! You're such a gifted teacher to be able to make such a difference through KZbin alone

[@AG-wr6gv]

Game changer Danny - personally speaking the simple 8 iron tip has definitely shaved 3,4 shots off each round and look forward to implementing the other two regularly.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support Adam

[@jackheck3644]

Brilliant! Practiced this at home and took it to the course over the weekend. I'm positive it saved me a few strokes. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Jack, well done

[@TonyMusgrave]

I watched this twice. The second time through I caught "grip to pocket grip to pocket" for the pitch shot. I think that's a great memory aid while on the course. *** Went to practice these yesterday. It was the first time I've hit multiple, consecutive lob shots without spraying them everywhere. Thank you Danny!

[@chrisgolfer7528]

Certainly need to work on all of these Danny, thank you for the advice.

[@DanielMaude]

pleasure Chris, hope all things are good with you in AUS

[@bobmay3888]

Danny, thanks very much for the videos. Very precise and intuitive (for me). I started golf three years ago (at age 60) and was in the low 100's. I'm now in the mid-80's and hope to break 80 soon. I have to watch each video at least 10 times to fully understand the uniqueness of each situation and the choice of attack but your advice is spot on. The rest is up to me. Thanks again and please keep the videos coming. This video is perfect for me at this point in my journey because I can't get to the green to reliably leave 2 putts.

[@kbrown4ou]

I love practicing and playing flop shots. I just remind myself to keep the shaft upright (to avoid de-lofting the club) and to accelerate thru the ball. The breakthrough moment is when you discover that the more you accelerate thru the ball the more spin you’ll put on the ball and thus the higher and shorter it will go. Not a shot needed very often on the course, but certainly fun to show off with when useful.

[@DanielMaude]

You are so right

[@stuartaitken1570]

Love it Danny! Can't wait to practice all 3, but especially the lob 😁

[@DanielMaude]

You got this! its a fun shot Stuart

[@craigscott3133]

These are great putt savers. One putt instead of two. Two instead of three. Thanks, Danny!

[@user-ct3er1rw6f]

You must have been reading my mind as I’ve been trying to practise these shots in garden all week. Now I know what to do properly! Thx, Danny Boy.

[@DanielMaude]

have fun

I just started playing VR golf, I’ve never played golf in the real world. Your tips are helping me a TON in the VR game. Thank you for your videos.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome, never played VR golf

[@DanielMaude]

Pleasure happy to help 😁

[@nnnnopeitsmelori3073]

I love Oculus Quest 2 VR, I think it’s the only VR you don’t have to have wires hanging from to play. You should look into the VR Golf +. I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinion on it and if it;s a good learning tool. For me, I feel like I can learn the basics without anyone seeing me screw up haha you can also play multi player with others, if I ever get good enough, ie: brave enough, I might play with another person.

[@MrJnholmes1]

Fantastic tips, Danny - love all your lessons but this short game focus will hopefully save shots around the green!

[@markfraser6777]

Thanks Danny. Hope your well. Really enjoyed this lesson. I have practiced the 8i shot for a wee while now and love it. It is one of my go to shots that I’m now starting to enjoy using. I’ve only just recently added a set of wedges to my bag so just starting to get used to them. I’ve noted from this video that I’m playing the ball too far back in my stance when playing wedge shot around green. Thanks again for the tips and looking forward to putting them into play.

[@GolfSpott]

Messing around with this stuff I found out how to control a bit of distance on the flop shots. For closer shots, flip/release early and smack the ground with the bounce of the club. For farther shots, throw the lead arm forward harder/farther depending on how far you need to

[@ben1ngersoll]

Thank you Danny! You keep it simple and I really appreciate that.

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure Ben

[@madweazl]

This made such a huge difference for my buddy and I the last couple weeks. I couldn't chip anything; I always skulled the ball and smashed it further away on the opposite side of the green or I caught it fat and moved it a couple feet. These techniques made a huge difference in my short game and have given me so much more confidence. Literal game changer for me. I'm absolutely dismal (best score thus far has been a 101) but this is probably the most solid portion of my game now.

[@DanielMaude]

Well done Aaron happy to hear the video has helped you 😁

[@slime2686]

So simple. This could really change my game. Thanks Danny. 👍

[@martinstirling7949]

Another great video Danny, thanks alot. I agree with the chip and run technique - get the ball rolling on the green as soon as possible. I only use a lofted wedge from a further distance from the green (unless I have to clear a bunker or other object).

[@frontrunnercgn1290]

Thank you so much - one of the best lessons i've got from you because its so hands-on for the daily round.

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

On the 3rd shot, I tend to treat it like a bunker shot without hitting the sand first. I open the face slightly to help ease the turf interaction and set up aiming a little left of the pin. Usually gets me close without much run out.
