LETS GO!!! By far the best short game coach around! I’m so glad we finally got a lengthy video of instruction! Thank you Dan

These videos Dan produces are incredible.

Dan, I’m a former D-1 golfer and still play to a +3 in my 30s. I’ve been an exceptional ball striker and an average short game player, albeit a pretty good putter. I have read your book and taken your ideas to my practice chipping green. You are a most talented instructor and I eagerly watch all of your posts. I’ll research your site to seek opportunities to meet you. Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us!

Have to say, for UK players this is one of the best instuction videos I've seen. Please keep them coming!

Everything looks so easy and effortless when you demonstrate 👌🙏 great videos

A short game masterclass for winter golf! Thank you Dan!

How you picked the ball up with the club was awesome!

Here in Iowa with 25” of snow on the ground, this is my short game adjustment: buy golfball sized nerf balls, place a rubber backed rug on the floor in the garage, watch Dan’s videos then go to garage to practice Dan’s instruction. My chipping and pitching has improved significantly over the last month. It really is awesome to be able to watch a video and step out into the garage and try it. Thanks Dan.

Dan's video with Rick Sheils took 4 off my HCI this year. such a great coach even through the screen.

63 yrs young and have been a plus or low handicap since my teens. Historically was considered an excellent chipper and pitcher of the golf ball. Was pretty creative and rarely struggled with low points or ball first contact. Assorted things took me from the game for a while and have been back at it for 7-8 years and my wedge/short game has been horrendous nearly to the point that I won’t practice it so I don’t get depressed. In spots that I used to regularly chip in I now put so I’m not chunking or blading them and completely ruining a decent round. I’ve watched a few short game guys and you’ve really impressed me. As simple as it looks for me doing it on the course has been a struggle. I know practice makes perfect but probably need a lobotomy to get rid of all the negatives thoughts and images.

Not only did Dan tell us what to do like others, then he went and did it. Dan is a Genius. I will watch this over and over again. Billy

Probably the best winter golf (bad lies and wet conditions) video on the internet. Many thanks!

Thank you for a very comprehensive short game winter video. All we need is you to caddy for us & advise for each shot. I did NOT realise that there were so many options. You made it look so easy without any poor shots. You must have practised a great deal to master all those shots. I have subscribed.

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading these videos, Dan. You made me like golf again!

This is so full of useful insights and instruction. Thanks Dan. Love these longer-form videos. This'll save me from spending all winter at the practice ground getting frustrated practicing release 3s!

Thank you! These videos coupled with your book thru dedication, disciplined work (the 3 D's) is indeed great valuable knowledge. I would recommend to any golfer to buy your book.

I agree excellent teaching video full of little nuggets of techniques mixed together with plenty of common sense. Really enjoying watching them

Brilliant advice. Wet conditions are really tricky. Firm sand also is a mystery for many. Thank you.

The confidence in these strikes and different options is incredible. Said it before but can’t recommend his book enough. It’s excellent

This advice is perfect for anyone playing golf in Glasgow in summer as the weather is just like winter, wet and muddy.

Best Dan Grieve video yet! Absolute gold. Thanks Dan.

I’m watching this video over and over again, trying to memorize everything… What stands out incredibly, is that DG is one of the very few (i put Adam of Porzak golf, along with him) YT coaches, able to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

Seriously awesome, thanx Dan, love the shorts but these longer videos with your insight is just priceless. Loved the book as well, BTW-its my Bible now! Take it with me whenever I go practice! 😅

Master teacher. Incredible ability as a coach and short game magician.

As someone who dreads upslope chips, seeing Dan effortlessly hit three in a row makes me super excited to go try that technique right away. Great video!

Dan Thanks for your instruction, toke to the course today. After 18 holes ,when pitching to the green or chiping .Hit ten out of eighteen green. I'll can watching your videos. And working on my short game.thanks again!!

Best Master class on winter condition well done

Dan the short game wizard! What I would give to have some of your control round the green. Absolutely amazing. Thanks and keep posting.

I appreciate Dan's instruction so much. Not only explaining it very well but no wasting time between shots. If you pay attention it comes to you relatively quick. ⛳🏌️ Thank you Dan Grieve

This is awesome content. You've really stepped up your content. Love this longer video format. Seeing you casually dink three balls consecutively to 2ft is so impressive ❤

One of the best instructional videos ever, absolutely brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you Dan!

One of the most definitive short game lessons!

Perfect for my neck of the woods ! I could watch this before every round and play better. Thank you sir.

I know I’m going to keep referring back to this. Brilliant instruction. 👏

As a California refuge headed towards my first winter as a Missourian this is helpful sir.🙏🏻

I have to say, you are the best presenter/Coach online without doubt. Many presenters waffle a bit too much but, your explaination on each shot is not only to the point but you also give an excellent visual of the shot required. I can say that in my back garden, I'm making fewer errors with my wedges but the problem is, I have to use the other clubs as well. 😅🤣👋👋👋

I am reading your book now and already seeing improvement in the short game. Thanks

The best golf instruction video on youtube. Thank you Dan ❤

I can't believe this channel isn't absolutely blowing up!! Amazing technical advice explained so well - master class!

Dont play anymore, but your videos are beginning to inspire a renaissance! I wish I had access to your knowledge for my short game when I played. Maybe Ill blow the dust off my clubs

I’m a pretty bad bunker player that’s you make so I feel I can out now and it will be good best lesson I have ever seen Thank you tony

Literally the best coach online. Unbelievable stuff.

Very good Dan….very knowledgeable and easy to understand 👌

Excellent Dan. Thank you very much.

@DanGreveGolf I'm serious into golfing for 1 year now. Your short game techniques I've studied and practiced over and over. You've dropped my handicap 6 pts in 1 year and still going down.

excellent topic! winter conditions expose all our short game deficiencies

Dan the best short game coach I’ve ever seen great to watch Tony

That is simply the best short game video I’ve ever seen. So glad I found your RU-vid channel! Can’t wait for more videos. Thank you!

Been really struggling with theses type of shots , brilliant 😊

Absolutely fantastic, you explain shots so well and from all different lies, you make it so easy to practice the techniques and understand what is required from a shot. Love the longer lesson videos, keep them coming.

One of the best short game videos I’ve ever seen. So much great advice 👍

Dan, this is a fantastic video, while there is a lot to take in, it comprehensive and clear, I just need to rerun about 10 times, so it sinks in, I’m going to make practice notes when I go for practice sessions. many thanks

Really clear demonstration and reasoning. Thank you

Pure gold ! Thank you for sharing this. The 3 most important parts of the game are ..short game, short game and ….short game.

This video was stinkin' amazin'. One of the best, in-depth instructional vids I've seen on YT EVER!!!...been through hundreds of short game vids. Dan, this is top shelf. Wow!

he's just too good it's ridiculous

I golf ⛳️ in the States 🇺🇸 in the Pacific Northwest year round. In the winter it rains 🌧️ a lot. This video is sooooo helpful! Learning to improve my golfing IQ 😁. Thanks Dan!

Dan my chipping was gone completely thanks to you it’s back I’m so pleased Tony

I´m exited to see that you are uploading new content! Your short-game videos have helped my game massively! Looking forward to your upcoming videos!!

Fantastic ...always wondered why my bunker shots flew out at a low trajectory in wet conditions.....thanks Dan

Dan, you're an absolute legend! This applies so well to me living in Iceland where our summers are kinda like your winters 😂

Best short game tips ever! Always makes sense! Thanks for sharing Dan!

Great video, Dan. Very helpful for those unable to play in perfect conditions year-round. Thanks!

Best short game coach out there and dare i say I'd put you up against any tour pro on the planet and you would come out on top.......magician.

One word.....Brilliant! Thanks Dan

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for taking the technical aspect of your 3 releases book and show casing them in real world conditions, very helpful in learning how to read the lie and choosing the correct release for the given conditions.

I would hate playing against you Dan! Thank you for the masterclass. 😊

Just what i needed, ta. Shareing this with all my mates.

I could watch dan hit balls all day, so pure.

Simply the best! Thank you!

This really helps my game alot! Been hitting it good off the tee this past week and putting has been decent but chipping around the greens have been a nightmare with these wet and soft conditions. No more! Thank you Dan!

Outstanding!!!!, the videos help explain the book even better, it has cut 5 shots off my h/c this year 20 down to 14.7😁

Thank you Dan, one of the best.

The best shirt game teacher. Thanks Dan!

Absolutely brilliant video 👍👍

Just superb content. I’ll need to watch over and over.

Dan, your short game knowledge is outstanding. Thank you. You could turn an amateur pro like flipping a coin. Great video.

Really useful tips, especially the up slope and bunkers! Such impressive knowledge sharing without being overly technical!

Absolute gold Dan. What I would give to have 5% of your ability round the green. Autumn/Winter golf is just so hard in the UK with all these heavy lies. Thanks so much for the content.

Yesterdays round was awesome, although I missed a good amount of putts (very fast greens), my chip and pitch was as succesful as I have never had in my game, thanks to your tutorial. I reinstate that what you share is truly admirable. I found myself performing with so much more confidence and present to club selection and what I wanted my ball to do. If I would have putted better, let´s put it this way, sinking at least 50% of my birdie and par opportunities I would have ended with high seventies instead of a round of 83. I am a visual person so I learn by seeing, rather than by reading, like it was mentioned in your interview.

This is priceless information. Cheers Dan!

Hi Dan your the First “Short Game Coach” I’ve watched on RU-vid Who is “Brilliant”👍1:- you have a Great short game, 2:-you have the rare ability to show & discuss technique, Just started watching your Videos👍, Would like a short Video Discussing your Release 1,2 etc. which you refer to😁, Think this Winter Video is Brilliant, also think you could discuss the advantages of Winter Rules & the adjustments needed to make to get the best results, Thanks Dan, Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer

this is unreal, thanks Dan.

Very impressed, will be breaking this down and using on course, than you dan

Great insight into winter chipping

Once again, Admirable! Thank you Dan for sharing such a powerful tutorial.

Great video Dan. Your videos here has help my short game tremendously. 😊

Thank you Dan! Your videos are fantastic content. I have dropped from a 18 to a 13 handicap on your advice from your videos and your book. Next time I am in the UK, I am going to try to come take a lesson.

A great use of 23 mins of my time and should help my winter game no end! Some of his examples of bad shots i can see i do so now I can improve them. Another great video from Dan !👍

I have been struggling so much with chunking pitch shots during winter, never thought putting it back in stance would help, if anything thought it would make it worse, thanks so much for the insight Dan cant wait to try this

The video Ive been hoping and waiting for. This is pretty much the conditions were play all season here in northern Sweden so this was fantastic for me to use to build upon all I learned from the book and your channel. Huge thanks! 😊

A short game master class! Brilliant!!!💯

Remarkable stuff Dan. Your book and videos have been a Godsend. The big piece is taking it to the course and executing with wise choice of shot type.

Wow! I did watch your 3 releases with Rick Shields a couple of months ago and have been practicing this with some success. When i am not successful it is often because the lie wasn't appropriate, so thanks to the video. There is a golf course that I frequent which has harder bunkers, not unlike the one here, if not harder wetter bunkers, even in summer. I have been avoiding the bunkers because of poor conditions in them. But now I see a solution - which I will practice. I do plan on picking up a copy of your book on the three releases sometime soon. Thank you again Dan. Craig from Toronto Canada.

Made an immediate difference to my short game on a wet midlands course. Great instruction 👍

This is truly a Master Class! Pure gold Dan! Of course, i‘ll have to watch it about 12 times and take notes but it’ll be worth it shave a few shots in these conditions.

Great addition to your wonderful book! Thank you! I have noticed releases 2 and 3 becoming tricky in Scotland in the last couple of weeks. This was a much-needed refresher.

Brilliant Dan, compliments the 3 releases book perfectly. Would love to see a dry weather one as its summer here in Australia! Keep up the great content

I think chapter 8 is the best chapter of your book. So, so simple. Almost holed a 55 yard shot with the A-1 technique. No thoughts other than setup. Beautiful.
