How to get out of Trouble around the green!

[@cjchief011]

what i love most about dan's video's is everytime time he does a demo of a hard shot, he explains all the issues with it, then just nails after saying how low percentage it is

[@peterroberts6044]

the backhand from beside the tree was ridiculous

[@Ricky_rickito]

You are the master, Dan! You should do a second book focused on every lie combination...

[@rolirolster]

What's his first book called please?

[@Ricky_rickito]

@@rolirolster The Three Releases

[@rolirolster]

@@Ricky_rickito Awesome, thanks, looks like I've got another Christmas prezzie 😊

[@Ricky_rickito]

@@rolirolster it's one of the best! Good luck buddy

[@vicpnut1]

Just got his book ,havent started it yet…i assumed it would have a good portion dedicated to bad (or all /situations) lies etc.. are you saying its only on releases? Which yeah, duh, its called 3 releases . But i just ass-u-me(d) lies and situations would be included….or may e wishful thinking as im 50/50 rough/sand or fringe /fairway 😬🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏼✌️

[@pastapetey]

Great video that’s miles more relevant to our amateur scores than a million full swing videos. Thanks much for the tips!

[@bedeashby6323]

Dan - I bought your book couple of days ago, but must say this is the best video I’ve ever seen on you-tube regarding real scenarios we face on the course. Absolutely brilliant library of shots to learn from. Thank you.

[@danreed2189]

What I like best about your teaching Dan, is the consistent messages about course management. Your comments ring so true for amateur golfers. I think differently on the course because of you and play much more consistently as a result. The constant message is that golf is an ever-changing puzzle. Play smart to be successful!

[@truthvenum5468]

I was one of those that commented on tight lie and one particular short with perfect lie on carpet like grass. Love your content, watched the shorts over and over. You're a brilliant short game coach.

[@100torresm]

Dan is a short game wizard. Wish he lived closer so I could get some lessons from you. Thanks for the great videos.

[@chetanchothani8608]

@DanGrieveGolf - You are without a doubt, the best short game coach out there. You have helped me shave a number of strokes off my handicap. A request if I may - “Can you do a video on techniques for hitting out of fairway bunkers? Just like the short game, there is a lot of contradictory information out there. And, I could use some simple clear instruction on that!” Thanks!

[@stevewa03]

A master of all shots! Such a great teacher. Love these videos Dan!!

[@WilleyCorp]

That one leg in the Bunker shot was spot on, Very informative video, the toughest lie I often face is a 25 yard shot on total dry, bare ground with a bunker in front of a short side pin, learning and practicing release one has definitely helped but getting all the factors correct is rough lol

[@av3675]

You are the Jedi mate. I mean that. Thousands of chipping videos out there but youre actually on another level with intuition and feel

[@jzbendy2780]

I wish I had seen the backhand tip a few days ago.. then the poor tree I was up against wouldnt have a chunk of bark missing from me trying leftie 😂 you are a wizard, sir!

[@bryancasdorph]

Very helpful. I have at least one of these shots every round I play.

[@hanklittleton8288]

Been using the phil mickelson "Hinge and hold" this past year and it's affective for some shots once you practice it a lot. But over the course of a week I've been playing your release 2 and it's unbelievable how it's unlocked a whole new level of my short game and soft landing and spin I never could pull off before

[@juanhunglow2220]

Ditto! Loving the short game at the moment, after years of yips!

[@dollarbillclinton4327]

I have been watching KZbin videos since they started unfortunately I just discovered your videos .I practice your technique and it has change my short game tremendously even though I hade a good short game prior now I have a PRO SHORT GAME wish I had found you sooner, but I'm glad I found you, 😎,, (Footjoy size 15),,,Thanks

[@justjames9550]

You are the master! With all your videos I am playing so much better

[@davidvesseur]

WOW, what a master class and a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for taking the time to make this/show us, and to provide it on KZbin for FREE!! This video will be noted for the ages!!

[@silviobracone4981]

Your videos are pure gold Dan, teaching not only technique in a simple way but also how to play different shots... very often we make bad shots because we don't analyse enough conditions and come with a one fits for all shot which clearly does not work

[@HBHS16]

Excellent. This is the stuff nobody teaches ❤

[@adrianhillary7300]

Another excellent video Dan. I have just gotten your book, such a departure from what I have been taught, trying to master release one at the moment, hit some fairly decent chips yesterday. I must say the book and these videos with your 'system', have brought a lot of fun to the green side. Keep up the great work, thanks.

[@stu7803]

Great book and videos, you have opened up a whole new world for my short game. Brilliant!

[@lokigolf]

Since following you dan I genuinely enjoy my short game practice so much more. A lot of people preach "don't follow or listen to KZbin golf lessons" etc. They may hold some truth but not when it comes to ol' Grievesy short game. Superb pal, absolutely superb.

[@jamesweston4403]

Great video Dan. I find the important thing with a bad lie is to set your expectations accordingly. If it's a tough shot, then getting it on the green is a good result for most amateur golfers like myself.

[@richardcharlesworth6069]

One of the best videos you've done! Thank you!

[@tanderson9115]

Thank you Dan. Wonderful tips, you’ve helped my short game. Love your attitude the most.

[@sonny2480]

Top tier, cheers Dan

[@paulsillence3]

Thanks Dan. These vids help a lot.

[@lukethegooner]

Great vid, what I take from this as an amateur player is the mentality, when you're in a tough position recognize it and know that just being on the green is a great outcome. You're not a pro, you're not going to score like one. Really nice examples in here. Thanks!

[@kjaer_me]

Awesome tips thank you Dan 🤩

[@matthewmcgrane2459]

Brilliant content Dan ,make it look effortless 👋👋👋

[@pathunter6043]

I like your process of judging the lie of the ball and then selecting the club and swing action. Simple moves well put. Thanks.

[@bazabollox]

Love it Dan, you breed shed loads of confidence, can't wait to practise these alongside the stuff I'm gleaning from your excellent book which I highly recommend to anyone & everyone who's into golf! Wishing you a very jolly festive period.

[@boabbysixkiller]

Excellent content and instruction as always.

[@rupertsherwood6549]

What a useful video! You have the gift of explaining, what I think is a complex game, using practical, clear instructions. When you watch some of the great tour golfers explaining how to play the short game, they often assume that average golfers have the same skill-set as them. Of course we don’t have the luxury of thousands of hours of practice plus breathtaking talent. You teach us how to use the skill level at our disposal.

[@goldenbear8696]

Very well said. Totally agree.

[@Golfnutter]

Great video - thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!

[@Blaaww1]

I’ve seen dans vids around, more of his shorts but recently just dove in his catalog and been working on some releases when I have time. I’m actually super excited when I’ve missed greens lately. I’ve always been able to play different shots around the green but it’s trial and error, like I’m capable and pull it off half the time 😂 but Dan breaking it down for us and gives us the understanding of what need to happen to play each shot is changing the game. I’ve got a release 2.5 that just one bounce and stops that is nasty. Actually might be getting carried away with it because I just wanna hit it over and over again😂. The big back swing and the club just fallin just feels like forever and then you hear the clip of the ball. When done Dan. Love from hawaii!!!

[@fishingotheradventuresonke7996]

Superb, as always. Your videos, combined with your book, are without doubt, responsible for getting my first & second round under gross 80 this year. Thank you, Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy New Year 🎄😊👍

[@davidcheung2907]

Brilliant tips Dan. Thanks

[@quietlivingman3361]

Video should be called - Dan Showing off! Excellent video. Also all shots basically required you to hinge and short or no release.

[@The-OC]

Great video Dan, these are the situations that everyone gets into, but rarely practices, so all of this is extremely valuable information, thank you kindly sir. 👌🏽

[@davidvolbeda7900]

Pure content! Bryson did a really cool video similar to this about how to get out of tricky situations but this here is just on another level altogether.

[@krestwoodb]

Thank you. Your videos have made my short game so much fun on the course and in practice. Amazing information and techniques.

[@gregd9991]

This video was extremely helpful. Used a few of these shots today during my round to save par. Thanks for the content!

[@samuelchoisamchoi714]

Master class!!! What a gift for FREE!

[@jayjay1drum1skate]

Dan love your channel and learn a lot. I’d love to see some videos where you showcase your talent, fun chipping challenges or games against your self or other top players? Just an idea

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Yes all planned. Not much fun in the winter though!

[@neilcampion5265]

Excellent video. I started playing with nothing longer than a 7i in the winter and I’m finding the 7 hybrid to be a really versatile club. Especially in bump and runs.

[@BruceBusby]

Whether you think you can or you think you can't... you're right!

[@bertmj23]

Fantastic tutorial

[@mattweir5522]

Great again Dan. Really helpful. Would love to see a video about pitches A1,A2 and A3 when you get a chance....Ive practised these and they are transformative

[@jordanskates1231]

I was not ready for that tree shot. I was thinking go lefty. May make this my new technique for all chips

[@andrewcharlton9310]

Wow you are awesome. Thank you for the guide to practice it helped so much. Can you please do a video on bunkers that have heavy wet compacted sand on green side bunkers and some with chest height lips to get over? Please. Love you videos mate Please keep them coming

[@vinrxx]

I look forward to practicing. Merry Christmas

[@briangastaldi6136]

BRAVO!!! Wish more people would watch your videos instead of rolling their ball or improving their lie! 😂

[@hakanpalmgren882]

Great as always to hear you explain various conditions! Helps a lot! Happy holidays!

[@samn7361]

Dan, the people need a course vlog. We want to see the king of swing get around one time!

[@mikebats2105]

Yes, I would love to see Dan take on the youtube golfers.

[@JiKimbo]

Great video Dan. Have a merry Christmas!

[@rickylee3161]

It’s like magic… brilliant

[@peterfrost7031]

Brilliant thanks Dan

[@Yesman10]

All the best Dan, nice one

[@huddwah]

Love it. Love the attitude this promotes. Every bad shot leads to a fun challenge IMHO, even more so if the lie is difficult. Dan how would you play a full swing approach from a Divot? Many people complain and want a rule change on this :)

[@darrenclarke161]

Dans the man a short game maestro 🏌️‍♂️👌🏼

[@aliciapastorsanz]

Super precious video!!! So so useful!! The shots you made!!! Wowww ;-))

[@FiftyLibros]

I would appreciate an indication of the hand pressure, from 0 to 10. Thank you, Dan, great content!

[@WheelzUp410]

Dude ! The back hand shot next t😂o the tree tho 👏🏼👏🏼 reminds me of tiger under the bush lft handed w rgt hand club , def gonna practice a few of these things flex on the boys around the green ⛳️

[@krhfly99]

Great video👏🏼👏🏼

[@Daveyho-ev8kf]

Great content Dan! Can you show us 'worse' lies, like buried in thick links rough? and borderline unplayables?

[@stuartrichardson9775]

Incredible short game skills… would love to see a match against Rick Shiels, Peter Finch or Jimmy Bullard

[@djr113]

Great video

[@kevinfan8477]

That backwards one handed chip was absolutely FILTHY

[@martinwilliams4759]

Fantastic stuff

[@aniaggarwal]

very valuable tips

[@dsfbsdfv]

What a wizard! Merry Xmas Danny!

[@mufc778]

i turned off after that backhand one near the tree 😂😂😂😂 outrageous that

[@maykwiese1]

Great explanations! The camera more often right in front would help to see the position of the ball.

[@paulmarjoram2258]

Great video but I struggle off fairway lies and tee boxes Dan. So ‘challenging’ lies are horrendous to me. Planning on turning pro next season to make some cash so welcome any tips. 🤪

[@jkaner62]

Brilliant!

[@joachimwestedahl5900]

Great video just like your previous

[@quoostonator]

Super impressive as usual. I just wonder Dan … there is clear logic in your decision making for each situation. From club selection to improvised release. I feel that a big part of the challenge is being able to make those decisions. I just wonder if there are some basic rules, or a simple process you could identify that simplified this? Maybe wishful thinking… but worth asking 😅

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Yes all in my book.

[@xXJaycopterXx]

Hi Dan. Love your videos. What spec do you got on your wedges? Would be cool do know :)

[@Pauld616]

Your book should be delivered by S Claus on the 25th 🤞

[@Chnips66]

HI Dan ! Nice video. How would you play a chip with sandy lie (not bunker) but grass with a relatively soft sandy lie under it ? thx

[@michaelrood2751]

🐐

[@jw228w]

Thanks Dan what are your thoughts about raising heel of club slightly on challenging lies? John

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Yes there’s a few videos of me teaching this.

[@Warzig1]

Do you ever turn the toe of the club down when trying to hit a plugged ball out of the bunker or is heel first more reliable?

[@ShockSlice]

Wish there was one about fluffy lies with the ball sitting up

[@manishupadhyay1025]

Dan...i have seen in some past videos that you use the TaylorMade high toe wedge...are all your wedges high toe?

[@opowarrior]

How often would you replace your wedges. My wedges are about 20 yrs old, I can still get them to spin a bit but struggle a bit when not much green to work with. Cheers

[@JohanSchmidt]

I struggle with longer bunker shot on uphill lie and where ball is above my feet - could you show that please?

[@charlesmccormick2625]

Maybe I’m not that bad a striker but a lesser thinker in best club/swing choice?

[@jamesthomas-pd9bj]

For a release No. 1, what’s the difference between hinge and hold and a small amount hinge with a normal release No. 1?

[@vicpnut1]

OMG, THAT FIRST SAND SHOT1

[@vicpnut1]

….and the 2nd 😂

[@vicpnut1]

…the reverse one handed…just ridiculous skill hitting these perfectly first try

[@vicpnut1]

Think i saw my ball in the “ferns”with Dan 😜😬

[@vicpnut1]

One miss judged distance in all those low percentage greenside shots when id taken all his strokes on just one of those (joking /exaggerating, but not by as much as i wish i was ) such an amazing talent

[@Paul-yz8jy]

Gold

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Lol, every one of those lies is what I typically encounter - it's standard lie, not a bad lie (bad lie is rocky/gravelly dirt) I tried Dan's standard techniques but was constantly duffing and resorted back to high loft, ball far back in my stance - as Dan shows here. Maybe if I played good courses, I could play Dan's techniques. But I'm too cheap😂

[@anx00750]

Utter masterclass

[@bgoggin88]

Just got back from playing in North Carolina on tight, sandy, grass with grain lies. I tried release 1 2 3 nothing worked. I don't think I have the right equipment for that. Ground rock hard, no way to slide the club under

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Yes as I always say you need to read the lie first.

[@sahilp17]

Dan I need an hour long video with you and a student solely on release 2. PLEASE HELP ME

[@215DS]

Come on Philadelphia and do some in person lessons. My short game could certainly use some work

[@DjBustaBust]

why deloft a club around the green? Would it not be easier to just grab the correct loft you want to work with?

[@DanGrieveGolf]

Some lies require a sharper leading edge which is only achieved by turning a higher lofted club down

[@DjBustaBust]

@@DanGrieveGolf amazing thought!! Thank you for this
