Except that sometimes it does make u think about the swing a little more than u should. But still great tips. Keep it up.

Best golf instruction on KZbin. My pitching and chipping have improved so much from your last two videos and I’m sure this will help tons as well. Thank you so much Danny!

Ive played golf for many years. Had a bad accident and almost a 15 year period i didn't play. It was beyond frustrating going to the golf course and shooting over 100.... when i used to shoot high 60s low 70s and on a bad day high 70s. it was extremely frustrating because i knew how fun golf is when you can start to have confidence on the course.... Well long story short i was absolutely lost and found danny and his videos im back shooting in the 80s and enjoying myself again. Be careful on KZbin alot of people will tell you do this or do that but i can honestly say danny is one of the VERY few KZbin golf instructors i can say is teaching you correct golf video after video. This man is a absolute gift to the game of golf. Wishing all my fellow golfers low scores and those "oh-oh " shots you make or almost make and i wish you nothing but "wait is that my ball"? On the green?😂😂😂

[@albaromane]

@@DanielMaude since the session with your Dad I have been driving 240 yards quite frequently.

[@antonyeaton7992]

Danny, can I get you to cover long-range bunker shots, please. Something like +150m shots. Where do you stand and the ball position to hit lofted shots and long shots to run onto the green? As always, sincere thanks from Brisbane, Australia.

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Antony, play long bunker shots from 150m exactly like you would off the fairway. What makes them difficult is there is: 1. A poorly struck shot will immediately get punished out of sand unlike off the fairway where you might get away with it 2. There is often a lip on the bunker and depending how close you are to the lip will determine how far you can advance the ball.

[@antonyeaton7992]

@@DanielMaude many thanks as always.

[@Prophecy23JC]

Oh, also, I noticed that you play the ball further back than I always see it recommended. Even when you are showing the normal/fluffier sand shot. Typically you hear to play it off the lead heel. You have it not much forward of center. Where you would play a full swing shot. Part of it might be the camera angle, but it definitely seems further back than typical. 2:23 for a reference

[@wilfriedkostbahn7681]

Great. You make it look so easy- and it does work indeed.

Got a 2 minute lesson from an 80 year old friend of my dads on the course one day years ago. I holed out the first try and I've loved the bunker ever since. I need to work on reading what's under my feet better. That's where I fail most often.

[@DanielMaude]

Hope this helps you Holmer ⛳️

[@robertkanchuk1677]

Great tips Danny for bunker shots. I noticed that your handle position is more up and down, than hands forward, with a shaft lean. I think that is the key to better bunker shots. Thanks Danny

[@mattcristino9804]

I wasn't aware of digging deeper into hard sand to push the ball out. I'm generally ok with playing out of bunkers except if I am close to the lip of the bunker and I sometimes hit into it with the ball rolling back in. As always enjoy your tutorial and look forward to the next. Take care and have a great week.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Matt 😁

[@kennethwood3984]

[@keithriley9643]

Thanks Danny. Will you be doing something on more difficult lies? I mean plugged, close to the front wall and close to the back wall. We have some seriously steep bunkers, where the green is well above your head. Many players pick up after their fourth or fifth failed attempt!

Wet and compacted sand has been my nemesis for years. I'm fine out of soft fluffy Florida sand. I've never seen a tip like this. I use my 56 normally unless I'm closer to the lip then use the 60. Looking forward to trying this out and possibly fixing one part of my game. Thanks Danny!!

@@DanielMaude Thanks Danny. I am having a lot of success with this (thank God!) and I now feel more confident in bunkers (especially shallow or medium height ones).

Hi Danny, again a very good video. I really like the image of the spade on soft or hard ground i.e. soft or hard bunker conditions. That really helps.

Great tips as usual thanks Danny. Can’t wait to try them out as my bunker play is erratic and these should bring more consistency. Our course often has hard sand base in bunkers especially in winter. Would the tips work for hard sand when you end up close to a high lip and need a high ball flight? Also have you done lessons on playing long shots out of fairway bunkers. I struggle to get ball first contact. Cheers.

Your simple, easy-to-remember swing thoughts are the best on KZbin! Although Phil Mickelson's hinge-and-hold chipping videos are a close second :) Thanks Danny!

[@eriklastname8157]

I got a serious case of the yips after watching Phil's video. So bad I gave up the game for a few years. Full swings were fine but the short ones I felt like I got tasered on my downswing. After getting back into the game I put in the work to get over it, but still had debilitating anxiety over the ball on pitches. Eventually diagnosed some mistakes (dragging hands through, and a little to around the body - butt of club pointing way outside body) and these videos reinforced and added to my concept of a proper swing and helped paint a fuller picture. Still miss sometimes, but make a lot more good ones and now have a bit of confidence over the ball. Much appreciated Danny.
