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 beâŠto 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 CZcams 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 donât know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isnât as flexible as it once was or youâve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are Iâve 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 upâŠa lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
Iâve 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 gameâŠLETS GO TO WORK!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.
I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.
We look at 3 things:
1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing - Sport
I watch every Saturday yet don't get overwhelmed with swing thoughts because you always keep it simple. More importantly, these tips work. Thanks again Danny.
Really kind Graham, means a lot đ
I love the idea of using a lazy smooth swing to achieve a decent pitch. Fantastic instruction as usual have a great weekend Mark
Thanks, you too Mark
Another great video Danny. What I like is the simplicity of your lessons. Many golfers, including myself tend to worry how to play this type of shot, but your advice takes away the anxiety and enables me to play these chip shots with more confidence. Thank you once again.
You are very welcome Don
Just won low gross in my golf league this week, thanks to YOU Danny! Iâve learned so much from your lessons that I feel like Iâm finally swinging correctly after all these years - THANK YOU!â€ïž
As always thanks Danny, It took me 20 years to figure that out! I hope everyone appreciates this information! it's a great reinforcement! for pitching and chipping
Really kind thank you
Enjoy how you always tell what club you have. So many instructors fail to mention which club they are using from the distance. Thanks friend!!!!!! Keep up the excellent work!
Really kind thank you
Thanks Danny, you nailed it when you said you developed a 'feel technique'
Hope it helps Matt
Your pitching and chipping lessons have improved my short game so much. I have to adjust the club choice for distance, since I'm a lady, but now I'm always on the green or just off it. A huge improvement for me.
I was a power swinger and now I'm a calm swinger on to the green.
Thatâs wonderful to hear Leah
Love pitching n chipping vlogs. They are such smooth golf strokes. Cheers Danny
Thank you Stuey
Hi Danny, brings back a lot of memorys watching you practice, I haven't played for about 30 years but you are giving me inspriation to get out there again. Chgipping and Pitching all comes down to FEEL without the FEEL for the Short Game Golf will be a real Struggle. Love it
Do it, would love to hear that you have got back playing
@@DanielMaude Yes, I started playing in 1974 aged 12 with my brother and father, loved it. Got down to a 7 handicap back in the day not so supple these days though. Technology has moved on so far these days with the equipment even Swing Analysis and Range Finders. I'll have to try my local Driving Range, to see if my body is still up to it today, I'll let you know how it goes.
Great video. Iâm decent at chipping and pitching and find feeling the shot works best for me. Another great example of your mantra of functional swing. Do what works for you. Overthinking messes us all up.
It really does Colin
Thanks Danny, another great practical video. I was having issues with hitting my irons this week so I revisited one of your previous videos and hey presto problem solved. Itâs like having access to a golferâs reference library, amazing resource đâłïž
Great to hear! Really happy to help
You're a great teacher Danny.
"Calmness" - perfectly put.
A relatively gentle but still fully-committed swing. As per flop shots, for example.
Easier said than done of course! - especially under pressure...
Thank you đ
Danny, your videos are so helpful! This one, again, is pure gold! đA huge THANK YOU from Germany!
1.26 million views Danny!! Well done!!! It seems as though Iâm not the only one who thinks youâre the best teacher (including great guy), on the internet!! Congratulations many times over. Loved this video too by the way, it really makes sense. Iâve struggled with this for years. Like Iâve said before, itâs too bad I couldnât watch you 30 years ago.
So kind of you Leroy
Love your videos and just wanted to say thank you, theyâre really helping me to play the game and enjoy it so much more with growing confidence, as I say - thank you so much đđ»
Wonderful to hear
genial erklÀrt und die eingeblendeten Details, wie der genaue Treffpunkt des Balles, sind sehr hilfreich
@gil4you really appreciate your comments. Thank you đđ»
Great stuff Danny! I donât use the clock system either but my short game really improved once I practiced how far all my wedges flew from an easy, connected rib/chest high swing. Once I figured that out, it was simply a matter of pulling the right club for the right distance. Easy Peasy!
Absolutely đ
Sometimes the best instructional videos are the ones that don't have a lot of instructions.... just like this one.
Hope it helps
I really like these videos with things you can take directly to the course. I would rather play than practice. This distance, around 50 yards, has been my nemesis lately, I think these tips will help.
Love to hear how you get on
Thanks DM. As usual some gr8 tips n drills.
Cheers from Tasmania
Thanks so much Joseph
Hogan said the same thing about striking it on a certain groove. Of course he never missed a green, but still. Great video Danny, as always. Thank you.
Thank you đ
thanks coach...sometimes i get in my head too much with short chips...great thought process to make it easier...now i just need to work on better control for my 100-200 yard shots
You can do it
There it was again, easy as that. Your videos are getting better every time Danny. Nice little technical tricks. Stay good buddy
And you Rick, the sun is finally shining đđ
Pitching from 50 to 80 yards is the biggest hole in my game. I'm looking looking for a pitch and one put to make par. Pitch and two puts is a rare success. Most common is to miss the green with the pitch, another stroke to get to the green from a really difficult chip or bunker shot plus two puts leaving with me yet another double bogie.
I've tried the clock system but the key issue I have is anxiety about uncertainty which leads to snatched shots or slow duffs. So everything you say in this video is a source of hope. Stop the mechanics and build the feel. Playing squash and badminton years ago, one of my point winning shots was the drop shot - all feel. So as you suggest I'll redevelop that lost skill for golf. Thanks for this reminder.
Absolutely, building feel and club head awareness will really help
Sounds just like me Ian
This video is for advanced players its not easy. I do this instead. I just narrow my stance more and more and choke down on club more and more as I get closer to the pin. Backswing also shortens naturally, you just dont feel like swinging hard once you are more and more narrow and gripping down. Otherwise my swing is same as full one. And the less I think about it, with this simple setup, the feel takes over and results in solid shots. Just to give an idea, my feet get close like his only when I am around the green inside 30 yards for chipping. Also he doesnt choke down which I think isnt easy for average golfers.
Well I was misunderstood then. When I say all summer, I just mean my usual once a week session would be either range or short practice area which means thats 2-3 times a month. I went 1 once a week max to short practice. Thats how it is for your casual amateur who works. And it is advanced in that its another type of swing to add to the bag. Maybe its easy for you who does this for a living but its not easy for casual like me.
From 50 to 80 yards you're not going to get up and down very often. The best in the world are not getting up and down from that distance very often.
I've improved a lot since I started using less loft to pitch with, pw or gw rather than 56° just try to get it on the green close enough to 2 putt. You'll make the odd putt from distance and get the odd one really close.
I shoot around the 90 mark and can shoot mod 80s at times and I barely hit greens in reg.
So Brilliant, yet so simple! Thanks Danny!
Glad you liked it Paul
Great stuff Danny!! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Hi Danny. I don't do calm when chipping or pitching for this sort of distance! But will now practice this 'calm' method. Seems so simple while I tend to complicate the action. Thanks again Danny.
You can do it John
Thanks Danny excellent instruction.
Thanks for the support Mike
A club member reminded me not to look at too many coaches, as this can become confusing! You explain things better than most Danny cheers đ»
Really appreciate that đ
Another simple lesson with more good stuff. Thanks Danny. Staywell-Russ
Thanks so much Russ
Another great video! Thank you! đđâ€ïž
Really kind Chaly thank you
Great tips and awesome video, Danny!! Love the cool new golf ball closeup shots! You've helped me improve my game so much that I finally beat my friends. Thank you, Danny!!!
You are very welcome đ
Cracking video Danny thanks I do this even down to 8 iron everyone thinks it has t be 58
Absolutely Jon
Great video as always! Can you please share with me when I'm suppose to hinge my hands. Many trainers of mine over MANY years have different opinions on when to hinge my hands but none of them have worked for me. I'm a senior golfer with chronic pain in my back, neck and elsewhere. I love to play golf but I'm at an infliction point whether or not I can continue to play due to my poor play. I've watched everyone of your videos and have learned a lot but my game is in a major setback mode presently. Thank you very much!
Thx Danny. It seems to me that working on this aspect of the game would lend itself nicely to establishing swing rhythm. If you agree, maybe a future episode that would take this weekâs lesson and build upon it for full swing rhythm?
I think that would be a great idea John
Thanks Danny. Straight to the course on Monday.
Have fun Brian
Awesome Danny!!! Cheers from California
You are very welcome John
Love this vid! Short game has always been a strong part of my game, but a lot of it came from choking down low and feel. Now that I understand what you've shared, I'm feeling even more confident, and possibly don't have to crouch and use even less physical effort. Can't wait to take this to the range and then the course. Cheers
Thank you Doug! Keep me updated with how you get on đ
Another very useful lesson! Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you Danny! CHEERS
You are very welcome
Most instructional videos have the ball on a flat lie. Help needed with the ball above or below my feet.
Or in a divot in the first cut.
I play on courses where you almost NEVER have a flat lie and stance. So: agreed!
As always just great content think most of use make things harder when it comes to chipping; Just purchased a training mat to practice. Just 20-30 mins a day will transform your chipping & lower your score. Thank you Danny.
It will indeed Garry
This for my practice session tomorrow đđ» Want to try and lose the feeling of hitting the ball hard from inside 80 yards and to do this, will try taking more club. 80 yards for me is a pretty full 52* so might try an easy PW. Thanks !
Love to hear how it goes đ
My bounce is what is aimed at the front divot, the closer to the face toe means less spin. Trajectory is influenced by ball position on ground, and body angle, tip or not but fixed.
Seems to work for all ground iron shots, even 1 iron..đ
Very shorts shots with height and/or spin, splash sand or flop are easier with bounce contact under the ball.
Love these videos as explains basics so well and simply. On different slopes and ball above feet etc do we just adjust our shoulders and spine please? Thanks, Danny.
Thatâs exactly it.
Well done Danny đ đ
Thank you Roy
Hi Danny, great video - thanks. I assume you don't read comments from older videos so I hope I can get your attention here. You released a really good video on August 19th labeled "World's #1 Coach Reveals EASIEST Way To Hit Driver Straight" - can you elaborate on that downwards movement and perhaps talk a little bit about the sequence with iron shots as well? That video really resonated with me, and I've looked through your other videos, but you don't seem to talk too much about it elsewhere.
I know you talk a lot about the 45 degree arc, but the downwards motion with arms, combined with a pivot did wonders for my swing. I hope you can make a future video about it.
Cheers
What specifically were you wanting to know?
Is there something that youâd like to improve with the driver l?
@@DanielMaude I just wonder if that type of thinking (lifting arms, splashing the paint etc) can be applied to iron shots as well? I just enjoyed that specific video and the swing thought of firing the arms down and then "splashing the paint" resonated with my driver swing - I'm looking for something similar for iron swings as well
Very Very good Master class đź
Thank you very much
Danny⊠can you do a video on uphill and downhill lies. The downhill lies especially kill me on the course đ ⊠thank you for the content!
Absolutely Matt
I think that's my problem. I'm anything but calm. Tense and terrified would be a more accurate description. I guess is practice practice and more practice. Thanks Danny.
Itâs is certainly practice but use these tips to measure and give your practice feedback
Terry Cork
As I have said before this is what I really need. I lose shots around the green.
Love to hear how you get on Terry. Howâs everything going?
This is the weakest part of my game. As soon as the sun comes up here in a couple of hours, I'm off to the park to get to work on it, thanks to your tips. Thanks Danny.
You got this! Have fun Mark
Thanks!
Thatâs really kind thank you
Mr. Maude, Iâve been using a putter chipper with great success. Do you like those?
Think they are fine. Limited because they really only produce one flight with little spin but they are fine if you just want the ball to pop up and release
How come all Dannyâs tips/lessons are seemingly common sense that dont make me feel like i have to change everything ?đŹđâïžđđŒ
đ really happy to help
Hi Danny, great video as always! Iâd love to see a video that talks about head dipping in the backswing and some tips! Thank you!
Thanks Jason will look to cover this topic soon đ
Thanks Danny Iâll get the dogs off the lawn and get some practice in. PW and 9 iron for me, I canât hit a 58 degree 60 yards at full tilt let alone smoothly đ.
đ
thank you .
You are very welcome Patrick
I have been using my pitching wedge for such shots
Should I be using my Sand-54 or Gap-52 wedge?
If you c an comfortably flight the ball onto the green then yes
Posture is super important on these little shots, don't rush to admire the results, keep your posture thru impact. Personally, I like to stand open on these "tweener" shots.
Great video Danny - i seem to have an issue with shanking creeping into to my shots around the greens - some tips to prevent this would be great for a future video
The simplest thing to do at first is to focus on hitting the centre of the the club. I know that seems over simplistic but place an alignment stick or club in front of the ball pointing directly at the target. Now simply aim to hit the ball with a square face out of the centre
Danke!
You are very welcome, thatâs really kind thank you
Cool
Great tip Danny, but you need to adjust your carry bag so itâs square across your back mate! Evens the weight out đ§đ
Good point Martin đ
I smash a peg in the ground to practice my strike. Small target. You get used to scraping the top of the tee. Eventually you set the ball down and you know exactly where your low point will be.
Every single part of my chipping has being thought by you đ
Hope itâs helping
That's my wheel house with my pitching wedge because I am a short hitter and my wedge is usually only 100 yards max swing.
Great video Danny. When I slow my swing down with my wedges I start to shank the ball. What could be causing this?
Spray the face with foot powder spray to see if you are hitting it off the toe or the heel. Then simply give yourself the task to hit the centre of the club face.
Just like many others sports your body will learn to figure out how to hit the centre
What bounce should you use please Danny? Here in Australia we can go from hitting off ground that's like concrete to like hitting off jelly within four feet of the same green. I never know whether it's the amount of grass the ball is in that should determine the bounce or whether it's the hardness of the ground under it??
I have been dealing with the shanks with chipping. Any help would be great
Softer hands, smoother finesse creates consistent distant control.
I will pay closer attention to my shots of the distance covered here because it's been potluck with me so far as to whether I get the club under the ball to give it any loft. Weight over the lead leg is an issue.
Thanks Colin let me know how you get on đ
My pitch shots with my 62, 58, 54, 50, and P look lovely in the air: unfortunately they are always about 10-15 yds too short. đ
Sounds like a little longer swing on an additional club
As we have now gone on the summer course, im not realy able to hit most greens in regulationđąold age as shackled me. Like most seniors i need to chip it well to boogy the hole at worst or its the dreded double. I have a nasty habit of, on my backswing pulling my right arm in to may body result a shankđą now i have had 50 years of no real problems but now, i stand over a pitch or chip terrified about the result!! This might just be the answer, ether that or chip one handed đ
Would really love to hear how it goes Dave
Simple but effective great teacher đđżââïž
@sasitaravath8404 thank you so much. I really appreciate your feedback đđ»
I'm so weak a 60-80 yard pitch shot is just a full 54, so no problem here :D
Thatâs fine, the key is whatever works for you
Some golfers can't pitch because they don't know where they're stopping the backswing. They take the club back, but haven't decided where to stop the backswing, so they have no rhythm on the way down.
That is true, thatâs where time practicing your pitch shots come in
Thanks for more helpful info! Curious, are you still giving your wife lessons?

Youâll do your back in carrying your bag like that Danny.
Appreciate the concern Rob, hope you enjoyed the video đ
@@DanielMaudeAlways mate. Top quality content. đȘđŒ
Can a twenty or higher handicap, actually get anything from this?
If I had a fifty eight to sixty degree wedge, to hit it sixty yards, my forward lean, my hands would be six inches to a foot off the ground?
Lets get OMP, to start a fix your swing, contact the ball, and putting video?
Danny...if I hit my 60 degree wedge that easy, my ball would go 30 yards. Even with the full fast swing, I'd never reach the green. What's your hidden secret?
The distance a ball travels is simply down to:
- impact location on face
- loft on the club
- energy applied to ball
You are likely hitting the ground before the ball without realising it.
@@robsengahay5614 đ
Iâ@@DanielMaude
Gerry , I concur . Your club face is likely striking the ground 2 to 3 inches behind the ball . You're likely scooping it bud
