    ABOUT DANNY
    -----------------------
    Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
    I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
    On UA-cam and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
    Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
    I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

    Danny, you have been my coach for the past 3 years. I am 73 and I shot 73 the other day (3 birdies last 4 holes). My handicap has gone from 17 down to 12. Thank you!!!

      Just played with 2 men in their 80’s. Both beat me by 10 strokes. They consistently hit the ball right down the middle for 150 to 175. They had a great short game. I was shocked. I’ve been playing 52 years. I was Goliath off the tee box but they slayed me to pieces after that. It was embarrassing. I hope i never see them again.

    Hi mate. I'm 53 yrs old.
    After 15 yrs away from the game and then playing a couple of rounds that made me remember why I stopped playing I found this drill. It has helped me so much. I find your vidoes really easy to watch and understand. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge.

    Thank you Danny. I am 70 and have been golfing for about 30 years. In all that time I do not remember anyone that simplifies the game as well as you do... all the while without oversimplifying it. The things you suggest work. Work tomorrow as well as today. Your suggestions are more than just quick fixes. Your suggestions have staying power for they are more than just tips. They are by their nature holistic. Very well thought out. Maybe we will see you on a Senior Tour someday. Good work young man, good work.

    I honestly feel bad I've watched countless videos of yours in the last 2 days and not paying you for it. This video helped my swing SO much!!!! I just got back into the game 2 months ago after 5 years and no matter what i was doing i wasn't getting my old power back. Did these drills and watch several of your videos. Went to the driving range and it was like magic. Thank you Danny!!!

    Hi Danny, Your take away drill seemed so simple and basic. My iron play isn't the worst, but not exactly great either. Went out on the course, last evening, and decided to try your take away method. About an 90% success rate; iron shots that went where they were supposed to go. Brilliant drill. Thanks!

    Danny, many thanks for this. I’ve always had a very active right hand and I’ve always faded the ball, unsurprisingly. I’ve had some terrible golf lessons over the years and none of them have picked up my clockwise forearm rotation on my right forearm. This has made an IMMEDIATE impact and I’m confident I can now break 80. Cheers

    I think this vid is GOLD. In life there are so many situations where you pretty much have a fundamental understanding about something but you can’t explain it. YOU JUST SUCCINCTLY EXPLAINED THAT THING AND MADE IT SIMPLE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. This kinda makes me think of the funny anecdote. Someone is challenged to define pornography. He quips, I can’t define it but I know it when I see it. Well, I think you managed to define a proper takeaway that most people can’t do effectively. And you put your finger on a KEY that can easily be recalled. Thank you Danny.

    I can’t say enough about how much this video has helped my golf swing and literally connected the dots of so many other aspects of my horrible over the top swing! I have been struggling with my take away forever. I was always convinced it was the root cause of my over the top swing but just could never figure out what the correct take away and backswing should be like. . I have had several teaching pros tell me my take away needed to be corrected and provided various drills and feels but nothing had changed. This video is so simple to understand and really illustrated to me how to execute a proper take away and backswing. What I also discovered in doing the take away and backswing drill correctly was my limited physical capability to make a full turn. Before i was just turning my shoulders thinking i was doing it correctly and taking club inside every time. Thanks for making something that is overcomplicated so simple to understand and execute!

    I played a lot in the 90s. Stopped around 2007. Started playing again in 2020. Now I’m addicted all over. I was around a 10-11 Hdcp back then and just took a lesson from a pro to fix a few new issues. I’m 48 now and can’t hit 300 yards anymore but it was more than just that. It didn’t feel right. He told me a take away trick very much like this (and tempo of course being the SINGLE MOST important thing - slow down!). This has changed my swing back to a powerful and accurate one. Great video.

    Danny about 10 years ago I had been playing golf for about 12 years with a consistent slice and one day I noticed that at the very beginning (about the first inch) of my take away the club head was slightly drifting away from my body. I then started concentrating taking the club head straight back away from the ball and have been hitting the ball dead straight ever since. So I personally found the take away to be the single most important game improvement to my game.

My biggest problem is consistency in my timing and so I am slapping at he ball. Just need to slow down and take a few more practice swings before I hit.

    Thanks for the videos. I started with your driver takeaway and the right hand down focus makes sense to me and I plan to see if it is something that works for me. When I came to this video I expected some reinforcement of that technique but you said nothing about it. Not sure why. Anyway, the other thing I noticed in this was your left wrist posture where it seem to be more concave than today's players. But when I look at your club head position it doesn't look open so maybe your wrist is flatter than it appears. I'm 70 years old and striking my irons better than I ever have simply because I learned how to keep the clubface more closed and strike it cleanly. It was a tip from a former PGA pro to think 'watch down' and it completely changed my iron play. I think it is an instinctive move to concave your wrist because it's a more powerful position but you don't realize it opens the clubface. Also people tend to thing of the clubhead moving like a kitchen door where it makes a 180 arc through the swing. Start closed and stay closed produces more effortless power.
    Now I have to figure out how to master the longer clubs like fairway woods.
    I'm looking forward to reviewing all of your videos as I like your way of explaining things.

    This game is so frustrating Danny for all us armatures out here, just when you think you have mastered it, your next game is like living a nightmare ! Today after looking at your video last night I started off really well for the first four holes, then started to slice the ball a bit which I have not done for many a year, only to find that my left hand placement on the grip of the club had moved ever so slightly!
    By the 14 th I was back hitting the ball with a slight fade and scored well! The placement of the left thumb has got me thinking after today's game, so maybe you could elaborate this further to other golfers out here in how important the left hand grip is!
    Thanks Danny - you really are helping us guy's out here! Your smiling videos and tuition are a joy to watch!

My buddy who is an excellent golfer and good teacher was desperately trying to teach me to stop doing that the last few weeks (lol) but I was not getting it for some reason. This video finally made it click for me and my first round out, far fewer chunks and inconsistent, terrible shots. Going to spend a good amount of time watching other videos and hopefully gleaning some info to correct other faults in my swing. Cheers.

    Mahalo Braddha Dan. As I used to tell my (now 10 years old daughter) easy-peesy-chicken-squeezie. Seriously though, and I think I speak for a lot of guys my age (53) and just now learning the game. We've forgotten what we learned when we we played little league in the 1970s. Good hitting and pitching was the result of basic muscle movement -- muscle memory. I mean anyone can pick up a bat and swing it, but great hitters -- like great golfers -- are very efficient in their movements. We all started not trying to hit home runs or throw 90 mph. My coaches wanted easy contact, open the hips, the bat would slightly lag and come around with power. Same as pitching -- throw strikes -- and use your body as one big lever. You can do neither if your body does not move in motion like golf. Basics basics basics. I'd rather strike the ball well, consistently now and increase power as my swing become more efficient than kill the ball 10% of the time and go 300 yards like a lot of these young guys. Cheers.

    Hi Danny,
    I used to set up to the ball and place the club. Then I would check if my hands are okay, then my feet, waggle the club, check the target again, look down at my hands, another look at the target, make sure my hands weren’t too tight, then swing. That would take about thirty seconds. Now what I do is....ball in correct position, don’t ground the club, look at target and say, ‘down (meaning ‘ground’) and hit’ - from the time I ‘ground’ the club and say ‘down and hit’ takes about four/five seconds - no time to get any nonsense in my head and WHAT a difference it has made to my ball striking, unbelievable! By using this method I am tension free completely - its like getting out of a self imposed ‘jail’ - love your videos.
