The Top-5 Short Game Mistakes!

I'm impressed, not only can he teach and improve his students, he can execute the shots on demand. I bought his book.

[@marcoliverschulze4]

I got his book, helped me a lot!!! Wish I could find something similiar for irons and driver…..

[@georgejung5429]

A good read?

[@juliusvizgirdas1850]

No one will say they waisted time by watching your videos. 1000 times Brilliant, huge thanks for your work.

[@rk-ez6ch]

Dan is the ONLY PERSON I listen to and watch for short game play!!!! Incredible!!

[@dougm659]

Once upon a time, Dave Pelz was the king of short game instruction and made a fortune in the process of selling books and coaching pros like Payne Stewart. The trouble with him was that his books and approach are extremely detailed and complex….Dan, by contrast, boils it all down to simple basics and is thus far more effective and practical for us hackers to employ….top coach!

[@1golfer2another]

True! and Pelz charged super high fees. Dan's the man!

[@RuthlessBourne]

Think of it like a "fork" lol

[@user-ct3er1rw6f]

A real gem of a training video. You are wonderfully generous with your time for us all. And we’ll always keep coming back for more to reinforce what you teach. Thank you, Dan. You are the MAN!

[@DL-my5ot]

wonderful and kind comment ... and I fully agree

[@mpolokengmampana366]

I came across your channel yesterday. I watched 3 of your videos and applied your teachings in my practice session today. I'm not exaggerating when I say my chipping improved immediately. I absolutely love your content, Dan. You have literally changed my chipping game overnight.

[@timchamberlain5858]

These longer videos have been fantastic! I could listen to Dan talk about short game for hours.

[@stefan-t--]

There has not been a larger reduction to my scoring average in a shorter period of time than fully embracing the dan grieve short game mindset, this video is incredible as are all the rest. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@ronburgundy8174]

Dan, have to say, I've seen many of your other videos and you are an incredible coach! The short game is where it's at and is the difference between a final good golf score and bad score. You actually make me want to practice the short game way more than just shwacking balls on the range. Kudos!

[@alanyoung5783]

Brilliantly explained drills, lie, land, loft, makes perfect sense. Just lots of practice on the execution. Thanks Dan.

[@danreed2189]

I am a beginner golfer, and you are my short-game guru, Dan. I may watch videos from other KZbinrs, but I always, ALWAYS relate what I viewed to what you have taught me. I am lucky to have many opportunities to practice your teachings, which have made an enormous difference in my golf game. When I am pitching or chipping, before the shot, I tell myself, "Just trust your technique." I immediately feel confident and usually perform pretty well. Also, with every video of yours I watch, I glean new information, so keep up the great work!

[@commonman317]

Yet again, very grateful for Dan's instructional videos. I have the book, and made checklists for all 3 of the releases. In the very few times I had a chance to practice them, I noticed some improvements already. As a beginner, it is a nice feeling when I hit a great shot while following these techniques. Thank You.

[@robjones3420]

Brilliant coach, makes understanding it so easy and breaks things down to the basic elements. No click bait just good honest experience

[@DonAl9114]

Thank you so much. The way you explain each different shot is just amazing. I like the technical approach. It helps to understand the club selection and the swing to be used. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊🇩🇪

[@Dweebus84]

Dan’s ability to communicate such an intricate part of the game so simply really speaks to his mastery. Using his book and these videos in conjunction with each other has improved my short game leaps and bounds in a very short amount of time. I am very grateful to have found Dan on this platform!! Thank you SO much for all that you do, sir!!

[@andrewsheppard2404]

Read Dan's short game book and it transformed my short game in one week. He is an incredible coach. Thanks Dan.

[@derekunderwood3356]

I need that book!

[@rw5591]

Great tips here, right on the money. I don’t know a single digit handicap golfer that only uses 1 club around the greens. Understanding the lie is everything and will set you up for success.

[@Natenezz12]

Some of the best short game instruction that I've ever seen. I'm buying his book.

[@EverydayBroC10]

From the USA and book owner: Dan your videos and textbook have helped me tremendously and I want to say thank you. You just have a way of connecting in simplicity. I don't miss a single one.

[@Automation_Control_Tuning]

Great tips! No gimmicks or click bait. Thank you for your help !

[@johncraven6367]

Brilliant video reiterating everything you need to be conscious of to produce your best. Thanks again

[@genedalton2712]

Hey Dan just found you on You Tube and a great video this is. I bought your book several months ago and got a LOT out of it. It really helped my short game. After reading the book and applying your techniques my “strokes gained” on the short game, went from a slightly negative number to a slightly positive number. So I got a lot out of it! Thanks for all the help on the short game.

[@lukeokoth]

@DanGrieveGolf, this is amazing content. The freedom your 3 release technique and online coaching has given my game is nothing short of amazing. No longer am I one dimensional in short game but my confidence on the course has also improved knowing I now have the tools to get up & down whenever I miss the green which for a high handicapper like me is quite a lot. Even my short game practice is now more meaningful & structured to the point where I'm not worried whenever I find the practice green at my home course inaccessible. I simply find a quiet spot & chip into a hoop going through the releases as I use my imagination to picture how the ball will most likely react. Rest assured my weekend fourball pairings over the past few rounds have been pleasantly surprised not just because of my length off the tee but also the finesse that comes with the short game. Can't wait for that magical round where every aspect of my game just comes together.... 💯👊

[@ipisca]

Hello dan! I have your book and with the quality of your videos they make a spectacular combo! My short game has improved substantially! thank you very much, saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

[@daniera7635]

Thank you Dan...Yes great reinforcement.. Your 3 Release book has helped my short game & confidence greatly.

[@bmurd45]

Thank you so much for this just covered everything I have done wrong recently. Looking to get my handicap down from 7 and this was short game Gold for me. Lightbulb moment definitely. 🙌

[@Brickktopp]

Dan you are the man , i done the short game school and you transformed my shortgame in a few short hours . Loving the content

[@lyricalgenius23]

I have used a gap wedge for all of these shots and I was so inconsistent. I tried using a 7, 8 and 9 today and practiced for about 2 hours and I was hitting 8 out of 10 shots to within 10 feet (from 60 to 100 feet) and even my worst shots were 13-15 feet and were still make-able. I chipped in or hit it stone dead so many times. These are my favorite videos ever, thank you.

[@sydn53]

Fantastic advice Dan. 👍 Grip pressure & club selection an issue for me.

[@hickorydragon8114]

I absolutely love the idea of making a practice swing or rehearsal shot with the ghost ball. My biggest short coming with my pre-shot routine is making practice swings that are fairly reasonable, but really not envisioning and feeling the shot as if it were real. I think pantomiming the ghost ball will help me with that visualization and imaginative creative process . Thank you for all you have done. Also, I need to be using more eight irons especially when I have an uphill line and a lot of green.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

"Short Shots" are usually the only time I take Practice Swings. I take the First for "Form", if that felt 'Right' then the Second is "Form and Power" - for the Distance to Target Spot. If the Second felt Good, then I play the Shot.

[@eyeone5]

Dan you provide excellent information, unfortunately I am guilty of all the faults . On the good side I recently got your book and now have a direction for improvement. Thank you

[@66stangRh]

I have watched this twice along with the lesson with Rick shiels twice. So good! Thank you so much! I love trying to practice what I learn from your videos. ❤

[@telstar72]

Without doubt the most informative and useful content on YT for golf instruction. Spotted myself 3 outta 5! Off to the practice ground… Thank you DG, much appreciated.

[@richtherealtor1591]

One of the best short game videos I’ve seen in a while. Thank you very much.

[@bennokurvits1420]

Hard to argue with the logic of your approach to this part of the game. Very clear instruction.

[@anandshah71]

Wonderful video I keep on experimenting so this entire week I played all my short game shots with 7 iron and it was wonderful pitch and roll excellent sometimes I get tensed with SW if it tops

[@charlesmccormick2625]

Read “3 Releases” great, colorful, instructional videos on these skills. Don’t see much short game skill commentary among top 6 KZbin golf instructors! You are the trifecta of experience, skill-teach, and pedagogy(getting the signal to students)!

[@ml9316]

I was first introduced to your content on Rick Shiels’ channel as I’m sure thousands of others were. Bought the book and can honestly say that your methods have had the most direct immediate impact on my game of any creator/teacher/coach that I’ve come across. So easy to understand and satisfying when you get it right. Thanks!

[@johnnycasswell7290]

Another great video from Dan - so clear and easy to see what he is teaching and the impact of it. Loving watching his different videos and trying to improve my short game. Practice and reading the book over the winter months will hopefully set me up for next season!👍

[@Luis1958able]

Simply Extraordinary Dan. The best short Game lesson by far. It is your way of aproaching and clearly explaining this part of the game.

[@jarlathbrine7904]

[@emilymcintosh3645]

To the point exactly, you make things easy Dan and for me I like things that are straight forward, the pro at my golf club is far too technical which the average golfer does not need, keep up the videos they are brilliant.

[@timothymoorman7437]

Very well done with a magical touch around the green. A most informative video. Excellent!

Great video Dan I got your book and I will be reading it over and over again,thank you for sharing your experience with us and your valuable time.

[@keithsherwin801]

Something very easy to understand from all your explanations in this Dan. Some stuff, I've been doing naturally but some are light bulb moments! cheers!!

[@Brandon_Balentine]

I just stood up in my office and changed my grip pressure to a "3" and I felt like it was SO MUCH easier to let the club release and the contact on the carpet seemed more consistent than when I've practiced before. Very cool! Thanks!

[@davidwheeler9222]

A true master of the short game,... not only as a teacher but as a player! If you can, get down to Woburn to see him, all of these videos are superb but having Dan look at your game and picking out your individual faults takes your game to another level.

[@LeeMan-q4b]

Awesome content. Can't wait for the putting instructions and book(short game)!

[@Murf1802]

Thank you Dan, love the content, ive been away from golf for a bit , injuries, of course, im thinking back to a few short game instructions ive watched and the main focus was get that ball on the green as fast as possible, not in the Air on the ground and control the roll out, is this way of thinking over now ?? i love what i just watched, completely agree with all the shots hes stated. idk, if i could I'd have 5 wedges in my bag, love the short game aspect of golf, my favorite shot to get to on every hole. Thank you, if anyone can give me a minute.

[@WilleyCorp]

Envisioning my short game shots has definitely lowered my score this year, I just need to get better at envisioning how the ball will come off my 8,9 irons for chips, I am definitely someone that has traditionally just used my 54 around the green because I have confidence in it, but I can see how practicing with other lofts will expand my game, thanks for the video Dan

[@halmstadt]

Fantastic content, thank you. Just ordered your book, can't wait to turn the pages and learn about the short game.

[@ScottDupuy]

Brilliant video Dan. Just read your book and found it enlightening! Thanks a million!

[@ryanalley2446]

Very Insightful, thank you! I'll definitely start working on pitching with my gap and pitching wedge rather than defaulting to the fuller swing with my 56'. The 9/8 iron bump and run/pitch is also a shot I don't play as I struggle to control the distance. I will start working on these to add more versatility to my short game 🙂

[@Learn_then_Share]

Dan has the secret to being amongst the elite coaches. Easy teaching manner. Talking but demonstrating at the same time. A lot of pro golfers talk a lot without much substance.

[@thepizzaguy8955]

All Hail Dan Grieve. Thank you so much for this content. When I watched the video with RS the point about grip pressure completely changed my chipping as well as putting.

[@philipbaddeley9163]

Dan, to me the point you raise about grip pressure is gold but probably extends through the bag. Brilliant interview with Rick after his lesson - you should definitely produce a video based on the book. Like many others on KZbin, I’ve not bought a book on golf instruction for many years but I’ve just ordered yours ! I look forward to “stroking” chips just like you !

The understated reaction to holing that impossible shot with the 9 iron was world class. Awesome.

Fantastic video! I am that player who tries to fit all shots into one club. Going to start working on proper club selection based on conditions. Thank you!

[@BPCost]

Great video and very clear instructions. Thanks. Just one question - mid/high handicappers are notoiously bad at the short game - me included. Are the skills described in this video beyond the abilities of these golfers? Thanks again for the great tips.

[@jamesweston4403]

Great video Dan. I purchased your book in September and I have improved my chipping no end. I have only applied release 1 to my game so far, and it has worked wonders. In my latest round, I managed to get up and down for par 5 times! This turned what was an average ball striking day into a final score that was 5 under my handicap. Getting up and down is slowly becoming one of my favourite parts of golf. I can't wait to apply release 2 and release 3. Keep up the great work 👍

Yo Dan, I'm glad you mentioned variety of shots as first... During this season I have noticed(and heard from people I played with and against) that my short game is semi decent, has lots of variety and I hit the best shots when it's very tough to get close to the hole and when there is really only one option to get it close. I seem to struggle with decision making, commitment and execution when there is a lot possible and the shots are way easier. Do you have any advice?
