Dan - I bought your book couple of days ago, but must say this is the best video I’ve ever seen on you-tube regarding real scenarios we face on the course. Absolutely brilliant library of shots to learn from. Thank you.
what i love most about dan's video's is everytime time he does a demo of a hard shot, he explains all the issues with it, then just nails after saying how low percentage it is
Great video Dan. I find the important thing with a bad lie is to set your expectations accordingly. If it's a tough shot, then getting it on the green is a good result for most amateur golfers like myself.
Since following you dan I genuinely enjoy my short game practice so much more. A lot of people preach "don't follow or listen to UA-cam golf lessons" etc. They may hold some truth but not when it comes to ol' Grievesy short game. Superb pal, absolutely superb.
What a useful video! You have the gift of explaining, what I think is a complex game, using practical, clear instructions. When you watch some of the great tour golfers explaining how to play the short game, they often assume that average golfers have the same skill-set as them. Of course we don’t have the luxury of thousands of hours of practice plus breathtaking talent. You teach us how to use the skill level at our disposal.
I wish I had seen the backhand tip a few days ago.. then the poor tree I was up against wouldnt have a chunk of bark missing from me trying leftie 😂 you are a wizard, sir!
Pure content! Bryson did a really cool video similar to this about how to get out of tricky situations but this here is just on another level altogether.
I’ve seen dans vids around, more of his shorts but recently just dove in his catalog and been working on some releases when I have time. I’m actually super excited when I’ve missed greens lately. I’ve always been able to play different shots around the green but it’s trial and error, like I’m capable and pull it off half the time 😂 but Dan breaking it down for us and gives us the understanding of what need to happen to play each shot is changing the game. I’ve got a release 2.5 that just one bounce and stops that is nasty. Actually might be getting carried away with it because I just wanna hit it over and over again😂. The big back swing and the club just fallin just feels like forever and then you hear the clip of the ball. When done Dan. Love from hawaii!!!
Love it. Love the attitude this promotes. Every bad shot leads to a fun challenge IMHO, even more so if the lie is difficult. Dan how would you play a full swing approach from a Divot? Many people complain and want a rule change on this :)
Super impressive as usual. I just wonder Dan … there is clear logic in your decision making for each situation. From club selection to improvised release. I feel that a big part of the challenge is being able to make those decisions. I just wonder if there are some basic rules, or a simple process you could identify that simplified this? Maybe wishful thinking… but worth asking 😅
Just got back from playing in North Carolina on tight, sandy, grass with grain lies. I tried release 1 2 3 nothing worked. I don't think I have the right equipment for that. Ground rock hard, no way to slide the club under
Fantastic coaching as usual Dan but your cameraman…??!!!….not a lot of use, I’m afraid. For example - at 8.35 Dan is showing where to hit the ball on the face of the club, in a reverse shot, where a tree is to the left - what can we see…???… no further down than Dan’s waist!! His videos are chock-a-block with the same awful camera work, unfortunately. We can’t see what he’s talking about a lot of the time. Sorry but Dan deserves better.
Just got his book ,havent started it yet…i assumed it would have a good portion dedicated to bad (or all /situations) lies etc.. are you saying its only on releases? Which yeah, duh, its called 3 releases . But i just ass-u-me(d) lies and situations would be included….or may e wishful thinking as im 50/50 rough/sand or fringe /fairway 😬🤷🏼♂️👍🏼✌️
Love it Dan, you breed shed loads of confidence, can't wait to practise these alongside the stuff I'm gleaning from your excellent book which I highly recommend to anyone & everyone who's into golf! Wishing you a very jolly festive period.
@DanGrieveGolf - You are without a doubt, the best short game coach out there. You have helped me shave a number of strokes off my handicap. A request if I may - “Can you do a video on techniques for hitting out of fairway bunkers? Just like the short game, there is a lot of contradictory information out there. And, I could use some simple clear instruction on that!” Thanks!
Another excellent video Dan. I have just gotten your book, such a departure from what I have been taught, trying to master release one at the moment, hit some fairly decent chips yesterday. I must say the book and these videos with your 'system', have brought a lot of fun to the green side. Keep up the great work, thanks.
Dan love your channel and learn a lot. I’d love to see some videos where you showcase your talent, fun chipping challenges or games against your self or other top players? Just an idea
I was one of those that commented on tight lie and one particular short with perfect lie on carpet like grass. Love your content, watched the shorts over and over. You're a brilliant short game coach.
Been using the phil mickelson "Hinge and hold" this past year and it's affective for some shots once you practice it a lot. But over the course of a week I've been playing your release 2 and it's unbelievable how it's unlocked a whole new level of my short game and soft landing and spin I never could pull off before
WOW, what a master class and a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for taking the time to make this/show us, and to provide it on UA-cam for FREE!! This video will be noted for the ages!!
I have been watching UA-cam videos since they started unfortunately I just discovered your videos .I practice your technique and it has change my short game tremendously even though I hade a good short game prior now I have a PRO SHORT GAME wish I had found you sooner, but I'm glad I found you, 😎,, (Footjoy size 15),,,Thanks
Excellent video. I started playing with nothing longer than a 7i in the winter and I’m finding the 7 hybrid to be a really versatile club. Especially in bump and runs.
Great video Dan, these are the situations that everyone gets into, but rarely practices, so all of this is extremely valuable information, thank you kindly sir. 👌🏽
Superb, as always. Your videos, combined with your book, are without doubt, responsible for getting my first & second round under gross 80 this year. Thank you, Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy New Year 🎄😊👍
Wow you are awesome. Thank you for the guide to practice it helped so much. Can you please do a video on bunkers that have heavy wet compacted sand on green side bunkers and some with chest height lips to get over? Please. Love you videos mate Please keep them coming
Dude ! The back hand shot next t😂o the tree tho 👏🏼👏🏼 reminds me of tiger under the bush lft handed w rgt hand club , def gonna practice a few of these things flex on the boys around the green ⛳️
Lol, every one of those lies is what I typically encounter - it's standard lie, not a bad lie (bad lie is rocky/gravelly dirt) I tried Dan's standard techniques but was constantly duffing and resorted back to high loft, ball far back in my stance - as Dan shows here. Maybe if I played good courses, I could play Dan's techniques. But I'm too cheap😂
Great again Dan. Really helpful. Would love to see a video about pitches A1,A2 and A3 when you get a chance....Ive practised these and they are transformative
Great vid, what I take from this as an amateur player is the mentality, when you're in a tough position recognize it and know that just being on the green is a great outcome. You're not a pro, you're not going to score like one. Really nice examples in here. Thanks!
Your videos are pure gold Dan, teaching not only technique in a simple way but also how to play different shots... very often we make bad shots because we don't analyse enough conditions and come with a one fits for all shot which clearly does not work
Great video but I struggle off fairway lies and tee boxes Dan. So ‘challenging’ lies are horrendous to me. Planning on turning pro next season to make some cash so welcome any tips. 🤪
How often would you replace your wedges. My wedges are about 20 yrs old, I can still get them to spin a bit but struggle a bit when not much green to work with. Cheers
One miss judged distance in all those low percentage greenside shots when id taken all his strokes on just one of those (joking /exaggerating, but not by as much as i wish i was ) such an amazing talent
Dan - I bought your book couple of days ago, but must say this is the best video I’ve ever seen on you-tube regarding real scenarios we face on the course. Absolutely brilliant library of shots to learn from. Thank you.
Great video that’s miles more relevant to our amateur scores than a million full swing videos.
Thanks much for the tips!
what i love most about dan's video's is everytime time he does a demo of a hard shot, he explains all the issues with it, then just nails after saying how low percentage it is
the backhand from beside the tree was ridiculous
Dan is a short game wizard. Wish he lived closer so I could get some lessons from you. Thanks for the great videos.
Great video Dan. I find the important thing with a bad lie is to set your expectations accordingly. If it's a tough shot, then getting it on the green is a good result for most amateur golfers like myself.

Very well said. Totally agree.
I wish I had seen the backhand tip a few days ago.. then the poor tree I was up against wouldnt have a chunk of bark missing from me trying leftie 😂 you are a wizard, sir!
One of the best videos you've done! Thank you!
I like your process of judging the lie of the ball and then selecting the club and swing action. Simple moves well put. Thanks.
Very helpful. I have at least one of these shots every round I play.
Brilliant content Dan ,make it look effortless 👋👋👋
Pure content! Bryson did a really cool video similar to this about how to get out of tricky situations but this here is just on another level altogether.
Awesome tips thank you Dan 🤩

Fantastic tutorial
Great as always to hear you explain various conditions! Helps a lot! Happy holidays!
Great video Dan. Have a merry Christmas!
That backwards one handed chip was absolutely FILTHY
I was not ready for that tree shot. I was thinking go lefty. May make this my new technique for all chips
Love it. Love the attitude this promotes. Every bad shot leads to a fun challenge IMHO, even more so if the lie is difficult.
Dan how would you play a full swing approach from a Divot? Many people complain and want a rule change on this :)
I look forward to practicing. Merry Christmas
All the best Dan, nice one
What a wizard! Merry Xmas Danny!
Great content Dan! Can you show us 'worse' lies, like buried in thick links rough? and borderline unplayables?
Fantastic stuff
Hi Dan. Love your videos. What spec do you got on your wedges? Would be cool do know :)
🐐
Super impressive as usual. I just wonder Dan … there is clear logic in your decision making for each situation. From club selection to improvised release. I feel that a big part of the challenge is being able to make those decisions. I just wonder if there are some basic rules, or a simple process you could identify that simplified this?
Maybe wishful thinking… but worth asking 😅
Yes all in my book.
Utter masterclass
Thanks Dan
what are your thoughts about raising heel of club slightly on challenging lies?
John
Yes there’s a few videos of me teaching this.
Do you ever turn the toe of the club down when trying to hit a plugged ball out of the bunker or is heel first more reliable?
Gold
Come on Philadelphia and do some in person lessons. My short game could certainly use some work
Just got back from playing in North Carolina on tight, sandy, grass with grain lies. I tried release 1 2 3 nothing worked. I don't think I have the right equipment for that. Ground rock hard, no way to slide the club under
Yes as I always say you need to read the lie first.
Fantastic coaching as usual Dan but your cameraman…??!!!….not a lot of use, I’m afraid. For example - at 8.35 Dan is showing where to hit the ball on the face of the club, in a reverse shot, where a tree is to the left - what can we see…???… no further down than Dan’s waist!!

You are the master, Dan! You should do a second book focused on every lie combination...
What's his first book called please?
@@rolirolster The Three Releases
@@Ricky_rickito Awesome, thanks, looks like I've got another Christmas prezzie 😊
@@rolirolster it's one of the best! Good luck buddy

i turned off after that backhand one near the tree 😂😂😂😂 outrageous that

Ditto! Loving the short game at the moment, after years of yips!
BRAVO!!! Wish more people would watch your videos instead of rolling their ball or improving their lie! 😂
Great video - thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
Great book and videos, you have opened up a whole new world for my short game. Brilliant!
WOW, what a master class and a wealth of knowledge! Thank you for taking the time to make this/show us, and to provide it on UA-cam for FREE!! This video will be noted for the ages!!

Excellent. This is the stuff nobody teaches ❤
HI Dan ! Nice video.
How would you play a chip with sandy lie (not bunker) but grass with a relatively soft sandy lie under it ?
thx
Incredible short game skills… would love to see a match against Rick Shiels, Peter Finch or Jimmy Bullard
Dan, the people need a course vlog. We want to see the king of swing get around one time!
Yes, I would love to see Dan take on the youtube golfers.
You are the master! With all your videos I am playing so much better
Wish there was one about fluffy lies with the ball sitting up
“If I had this lie like here…”
… I’d simply move it 3 inches in any direction. Tigers not out there today, fellas. 😂
Wow you are awesome. Thank you for the guide to practice it helped so much. Can you please do a video on bunkers that have heavy wet compacted sand on green side bunkers and some with chest height lips to get over? Please.
Love you videos mate Please keep them coming
For a release No. 1, what’s the difference between hinge and hold and a small amount hinge with a normal release No. 1?
Dan...i have seen in some past videos that you use the TaylorMade high toe wedge...are all your wedges high toe?
There’s no such thing as a bad lie….repeat after me …..there’s …….😂
I struggle with longer bunker shot on uphill lie and where ball is above my feet - could you show that please?
Maybe I’m not that bad a striker but a lesser thinker in best club/swing choice?
That ferns shot never exist as you would never find the ball 😂
I would appreciate an indication of the hand pressure, from 0 to 10. Thank you, Dan, great content!

Great video👏🏼👏🏼
'Get in'.... 😂
Great video
Dude ! The back hand shot next t😂o the tree tho 👏🏼👏🏼 reminds me of tiger under the bush lft handed w rgt hand club , def gonna practice a few of these things flex on the boys around the green ⛳️

Fantastic video, Dan ! Real Christmas gift! 😀😀Can you do a full bunker video with your release system? Thanks and best wishes for 2024 !!
Great again Dan. Really helpful. Would love to see a video about pitches A1,A2 and A3 when you get a chance....Ive practised these and they are transformative

Thank you. Your videos have made my short game so much fun on the course and in practice. Amazing information and techniques.
This video was extremely helpful. Used a few of these shots today during my round to save par. Thanks for the content!
You are the Jedi mate. I mean that. Thousands of chipping videos out there but youre actually on another level with intuition and feel
Dan I need an hour long video with you and a student solely on release 2. PLEASE HELP ME
Great explanations! The camera more often right in front would help to see the position of the ball.
Brilliant thanks Dan
Your book should be delivered by S Claus on the 25th 🤞
It’s like magic… brilliant
Excellent content and instruction as always.
Great video just like your previous
why deloft a club around the green? Would it not be easier to just grab the correct loft you want to work with?
Some lies require a sharper leading edge which is only achieved by turning a higher lofted club down
@@DanGrieveGolf amazing thought!! Thank you for this
Dans the man a short game maestro 🏌️♂️👌🏼
very valuable tips
Brilliant!
OMG, THAT FIRST SAND SHOT1
….and the 2nd 😂
…the reverse one handed…just ridiculous skill hitting these perfectly first try
Think i saw my ball in the “ferns”with Dan 😜😬
One miss judged distance in all those low percentage greenside shots when id taken all his strokes on just one of those (joking /exaggerating, but not by as much as i wish i was ) such an amazing talent
