Daniel Grieve has released an all-encompassing new book, designed to simplify the short game and create clarity of thought around the greens. Both are a mile ahead of the old Pelz short game bible which is old fashioned in what it teaches and which I found made my game worse when I originally read it. I will say, the longer I watch his stuff on social there are a LOT of specialty shots / variations that are not covered in the book (rightly so).

Then I look at where I need to land the ball and think, "Given where I need to land it, what's the appropriate release and club out of my available choices? If you can find a pro that teaches this method as well then you can’t go wrong but in my experience most teaching professionals in the U. I was a flipper and thinner, and my usual short game miss was setting up the ball in the middle of my stance and flicking a LW blade into its equator. I can yip or duff one now and then as much as the next hacker but at least the 90% of my chips that I don't duff are good, solid shots that get somewhere near the hole.We will then cover Pitching in detail including using Trackman for technical improvements and distance control tests. In the negative bounce situation if the club bottoms out before the ball, it could dig resulting in a chunk, whereas positive bounce will help the club glide into the ball.

Dan Grieve is the head golf professional at the internationally renowned Woburn Golf Club, home of the European Tour's British Masters for many years and 10-time venue for the Women's Open “I was very much a long game player before I met Dan.You will develop a Short Game routine so you learn what shot to play where and how you can 'read the lie' to be able to select the right club and shot choice.

You will learn the 3 Releases you can use around the green to give you versatility in your shot selection and crucially have a clear understanding of what shot to play where. The courses I play at tend to have small greens, heavily guarded and never more of 3ft of fringe before you’re into the thick stuff. Whatever allows you to enjoy the game with less stress and shoot lower scores is really all that matters. I learned old school, ball way back in stance, narrow stance, everything open, with both feet pointed towards target.Whether you are an ambitious club golfer of any level serious about improving or an established Tour Player then Dan will look forward to helping you. Also, perhaps it depends on the courses you play somewhat but I find that more often than not, I appreciate having that extra loft. My chipping is comfortably the weakest part of my game (22 years of chip yips will do that to you), so there is a little bit of anything that might help I'll try. From these techniques he expands into the man complexities but it’s always easy to digest and more importantly actually works in real life!
