There is so much wisdom condensed in these short videos. Thank you Dan!

A seasonal video series is a great idea on how ground conditions effect changes. Great content. Thanks Dan.

The lessons are top tier and great for every type of golfer.. But the action is just poetry in motion, just pure and utter beauty to behold!

I love to see the contrast of the suboptimal shot with the best shot. Keep up the good work

The difference Dan's tips and advice have made to my short game is incredible. Thank you!

Hi dan i bought your book some months ago. Found myself improving somewhat but in a way did get a little worse because i hadn't either understood all the key positions or commit fully to it. The videos filled in perfectly my knowledge of each release and were a perfect complement to the book. Now i cant wait to get around the greens where before i dreaded shortgame. I always recommend your stuff to anyone who asks or is searching for something. Thanks for generously giving so much to the golfing community, i hope you get rewarded to the full. ✌️ Luke Australia

The trick is to get the FORM of each Release (setup and technique) in the beginning - and this can be accomplished on the Range even off a Mat for R1 and R2. I use a short Rubber Tee that raises the Ball about Two Grooves for R3. Focus on your Target Landing Spots - anything on the Range - a Depression, Different Color of the Grass, a Shadow, or even a Ball sitting out there. Once you have FORM, then you can learn POWER Control with various Clubs/Wedges because when playing - The overall Situation will be continually varying just as Dan demonstrated here.

Dan is the GOAT 🐐

I love the videos and bought the book. I just need to commit and practice. The biggest improvement for me was identifying the lie and using the proper club. I’m on the way now. Thanks Dan

Absolute master class on short game.

I’ll remember for our summer conditions - just starting winter here in Perth Australia!

So glad he’s showing a Texas wedge too🤙

Huge thanks to Dan and his team. Love it. 😊

So grateful for this continuing education. I've made many notes and lists. Now, I have to find the time to go practice. Dan's book is so valuable if you want to begin to learn the short game.

The toe down/across pitch from sketchy lies is phenomenally effective! I can’t believe how softly the ball comes out!

Don't underestimate the benefit of having clubs that suit / are fitted to you. Been playing for many years and had a category one handicap for most of that. Short game has oscilated between fantastic and shocking. Two days ago I tried wedges that are better fitted to me (as in longer than std, as I'm just shy of six-three). What a transformation from "how's this going to go?", to clipping shot after shot off the baked surfaces making 'that' sound. Having the right sized club has negated the need for stacks of compensatory moves, turning was should be simple into a miasma of extraneous moves, increasing variables, managed only by good hand-eye coordination and lots of practice.

Dan, you are my hero. When I stumbled upon your channel months ago you it confirmed what I was intuitively doing in my short game, adding a bit of very welcome structure. My short game always more than compensated for my approach game in my handicap bracket (thank you Shot Scope) Thanks to your tips I switched to a low bounce high lofted wedge and that only improved my short game (a S23 58 degree X grind, except for muddy winter rounds when I pack a rather blunt high bounce 60 degree). As "the Jack of all Trades shot" wedge I use a 54 degree (I know you don't fancy those much but it works for me :-) )

What a great video, so insightful! Thanks Dan you are the best

Absolute top tier golf advice. Remarkable DG 👏 You’re enhancing my golf knowledge every time I watch your vids. Thanks.

Excellent as always. Thank you Dan. My first full summer post your book and it’s really improved my skill, options with shots and just as importantly confidence. Broke 80 for the first time as current course with numerous good recovery shots.

Superb content it really is. I've been hammering through the videos and collaborations. I've ordered the book looking forward to reading it and putting these lessons into practice.

Thank you Mr Grieve….you’re a master giving a master class…..

Great video as always, some of the best educational content on KZread. Top Work!

This is awesome content and can't wait to try out. So well explained and easy to follow. Tks Dan

Thanks for the free tips coach!

A great reminder about assesing lies and conditions thanks again.

On a serious note - another great masterpiece of a video 👍

Dan, thanks for these videos - BTW your book... the best thing my kids have ever bought me!

I need to finish watching the video yeh. You answered everything on my first question. Awesome lessons.

fantastic insight in to how small tweaks can change the outcome of shots. Great video Dan.

I can use the "Hardpan" R1 variation in the "dust covered concrete" Bunkers I usually find playing in Southern California. I can use it and clear a chest high face with my 58°. With a half inch to an inch of Sand, what Dan demonstrated works WELL. 😊

Thank you! Recent book purchaser and was a tough time to develop 3 releases in very firm turf conditions. These adaptations will help.

The Lie will determine the choice of Release. R1 can be played almost anytime. The Lie indicates whether you want R2 or R3. The Overall Situation will tell you to choose either R1 vs. R2 / OR choose R1 vs. R3 This is what Dan refers to as "Golf IQ" IT becomes a combination of Understanding, Imagination, and Practice. I will use a Short Rubber Tee on Mats - that raises the Ball about Two Grooves - to Practice R3. (This is the same Tee I use for Fairway Woods and Iron Tee Shot Practice)

great tips again

so good!!

thank you dan ,,,,

Currently can’t get away from a locked lead arm. Helps me control low point so much easier and strikes are much crisper. I do try, because occasionally, I get on really well and love the 3 release system. I don’t know what happens but it just goes and the locked lead arm is my safety blanket lol

Interestingly, I have just been reading a putting book that suggests using your chipping set-up for long puts - think R1. I'm looking forward to giving it a go particularly for those fairway lies.

Great video with very good alternatives with chipping. Of all those situations where could or would you use a hybrid or maybe fairway wood.

Great video …. Would love to see you on a links course on the run up to the Open 👍🏻

I would love some short game tips on links style courses in the summer ❤️❤️

Awesome stuff, Dan! I have read your book and Im really enjoying playing around with different lofts and releases now. Mini-release 2 is hereby added to the collection. Is the shot out of the deep rough similar to a bunker shot? Looks like it, but I’m not sure I’m catching all the details here.

Is it really as easy as you make it appear Dan? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ll do my best to remember what you teach and apply it to my game. 👍

Dan's Book, "3 Releases" is a great investment.

Legend

Great video! Next one a links one?

ADIDAS LOOKING GOOD

Thank you so much, Dan. In regard to the "standard ball" in the rough, you do a release 2 with the open club face. Question 1: when you say that you "swing across", do you mean that you do this follow through where you put the club in "the holster" which is similar to a release 3? Question 2: In the book, you mention a rather steep angle of attack, and hit 1-2 inches behind the ball. Was it more a release 1 or is it the same release 2?

We need to see Dan Grieve over 18 holes!!

15:00 For that last shot in deep lush rough, what about handle very high and putt-chip with just the toe of day a 52 wedge? Holding tight of course…

Hi Dan, great video! Love how it incurages to be more creative arround the greens. Just one question. During the face on camera shots. Is your camera straight in front of you, or just a touch behind. I would like to know because your ball position looks so much more towards your back foot than I would think. Especialy when trying to use the bounce. Would love to know. Kind regards Guus

29:19 next year love to see if a sports psychologist will help. Loads of pros have one and we always say golf mentally stuff so why not battle that part of the game!

You don’t need a sports psychologist. Just get good technically and it takes care of the rest.

Can you show us the shot when the green keeper has mown the lawn super tight and the ground is firm. I find that club can rebound off the turf via the bounce and knife the ball.

@apaulmcdonough2170

Look for Dan's variations of R1 strokes for Tight Lies and Hardpan. There's one in this very Video

Tremendous. That is all.

I do have a question. I've read the book and watched a lot of videos and I've never seen Dan recommend chipping with an open face (outside of the lob shot). But we do see a fair amount of tour pros chipping with an open face. When, if ever, would it be appropriate to do so and what is the tradeoff of an open face chip versus something like a release 2?

Can you advise on thick rough greenside when the grass is growing into ?

This is very helpful. I see these lies all the time recently. I'm plagued with 3-putts. I've been thinking recently about 1-putt, 1.5 putt, and 2-putt zones around the pin. I'm thinking that my 1-putt zone is a 3-foot circle, and my 1.5-putt zone is a bulge out to 6 feet below the hole if the green is sloped, plus or minus 45 degrees from directly below the hole. My 2-putt zone is anywhere within 30 feet of the 1 or 1.5 foot zone. Question: shouldn't the thinking outside the 2-putt zone be to get it anywhere inside the 2-putt zone, and the thinking inside the 2-putt zone to go high and slow (if there is a high side) to trickle it down to the hole from the high side and to at least get it inside the 1 or 1.5 putt zone? The shape of the 3-stroke zone near the hole depends on the lies around the green, e.g. if there is a hardpan area, a trap, pine needles, etc. - most of these things require local knowledge, but they can add a stroke to an otherwise good approach shot, and should be planned for. Working backward from there, you would ideally put yourself in a good position to hit your approach into the 2-putt zone with minimum risk. IYHO, should we be thinking about stroke zones like this, or am I just over-thinking it?

I Practice Putting from two Distance ranges. 6-8 Feet and 15-25 Feet. Occasionally, I will place 6 of those small plastic "thumbtack" style Ball Marker in a 12/2/4/6/8/10 circle 13 inches from the edge of the Hole. This gives me a 30 inch Diameter Circle. I use this for the 15-25 Foot Practice. The Goal is to get the Ball into the Circle and have it Stop inside the Circle. Success means I have "Tap Ins" of less than a Foot. I can then change my Position to get different Breaks (L to R, R to L) and Speeds (uphill vs. downhill) I only take Two Balls onto the Practice Green. My Goal in Putting - once the Ball is on the Green - is 2 Putts Maximum to Hole Out.

My problem is when I used the bounce - it bounce up into the ball causing clean contact and a sand shot turned into a 50 yard chip🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Can you show the same process but chipping off tight lies. You see, in Western Australia we have a majority of hard fairways especially near the coast line be it Links and unless one trains with consistency at chipping or basically any kind like it to get a consistent strike which I find a challenge although I may use clubs with a bit more bounce such as a 54.

Dan, there is a hole that owns me around home where I find myself 50-60 yards from the green on a 5-6% downhill lie. I try to hit a lofted club played back with shaft perpendicular to the ground & invariably chunk it to the left into thick rough. Today I tried to hit a 7 iron chip & run, maybe better result. What would you advise?

@apaulmcdonough2170

Downhill Lie, think of attempting to hit a low Trajectory Pitch using more Loft. Lots of Weight FORWARD in your Stance with the Ball only 2" inches behind your normal Ball Position for a "Flat 60 Yard Pitch" and Remember with a Downhill Stance Proper Forward Shaft Lean always feels "Excessive". These two thoughts will allow you to be Steep enough for the Downhill Lie.

I live in FL. Like a wet dartboard lol

Dan, are you using a putting style grip when playing the short or the vardon grip?

How many hole outs around the green do you have per round? 4-8? 😂 Thanks for the video, Dan!

Thanks for the video. Looks like you don’t grip down when chipping. What are your thoughts pros and cons of gripping down?

Arms get too long and tight when you grip down too far

Can you you nip it with a 56/12° bounce Cavity back wedge off hard pan? I have a Cleveland 56. Cbx zipcore.

The course that I play the grass around the green is very sticky. If I use soft hand like you suggested, I sank a lot. Any suggestions on these type of grass? How do I adjust?

Hi, Dan. What degree wedge were you using for the sixty five yard shot?

Would you do bunker shots with a 60 or 56 degree.

Pitching advise was interesting. In the US I'm finding summer courses have really hard fairways at that 50ish yard range, really tight lies, and if I try to use the bounce the club just skips along. Would you recommend for those to use more of the "winter" approach, getting that leading edge to hit the ball first?

More an attempt to get the Leading Edge between the Bottom of the Ball and the Ground. Think of kicking a Door Stop along the Floor under the Bottom of the Door. The Bottom of the Door Stop Slides until it makes contact with the Door.

This video is the perfect example of the importance of golf iq

This is why you need to practice practice practice. Get good at loads of shots around the greens, work on each of these rather than whacking 100+ balls at the range get on the practice greens. Over time you will just know what shot to play on course. But takes tame, good luck!

There is one bunker at my course in Australia and the base of it is like concrete. I mean literally a ball sitting on flat concrete. I went to a low bounce wedge and I can get the ball out but its generally just an attempt to get on the putting surface, i have no confidence aiming towards a target or landing area. Would love some advice on how to hit off concrete bunkers 🙏 Edit: i can play confidently from bunkers with small amounts of sand but this bunker even in summer is like hitting off a granite slab
