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:

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've said it before Danny so easy to understand, when I slip back into the bad habits, which we all do, just check the video to refresh,thanks keep it going
Thanks Chris đ
Danny is my North Star
I save them to a playlist. I watch several a week as I go out and practice just to keep the feels good and the rythem smooth. Whenever I have an issue I'm feeling I have the videos cataloged and I can immediately correct the issue.
why does your right foot go further back than your left ? It looks like it is half a foot back â@@DanielMaude
Danny, after 5 years of coming to the game, Iâve hit thousands of balls at the range, watched videos, read books and had lessons with Proâs, - heck, one of my best golf buddies is a Pro, but you have helped me find different âthe keys to the castleâ at least 3 times, over this period! Well, you just did it again!! And this time is major! - My driver!! Even though my drives range from 260-280 yards, my consistency is pathetic, from round to round, or even tee to tee, as of late. Apparently I have been coming over-the-top this entire time. The visualization you gave me, on this present video, was a lightbulb moment for me! So once again, I headed to the range, the next day, and BINGO!! I was hitting the net, at the end of the range, 15-20 feet high! To put this in perspective, the farthest yardage marker is 250 yards, so the back net is 50 yards past that. So basically, my drive was carrying further than my longest average roll-out!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Where is your School located? I am very interested in a one-on-one!
I spent my career as a teacher in public schools. The best teachers had the wonderful combination of complete knowledge of the subject and care for their students. You are part of that select group. Thank you.
Very kind thank you Michael đ
Seriously, you're the best youtube coach! All your tips have helped me so much lower my scores. I've been a player my whole life, but your videos have really helped me take the next step towards actual great play i can be proud of. Keep up the good work đ
Thatâs wonderful to hear, thanks for taking the time to share
Agreed
In my Wednesday golf round this week, I was consistently pushing my drives straight into the trees lining the right side of the fairways. I absolutely slipped back into my old bad habit of an open clubface on my in-to-out swing path. Your lesson today was unbelievably timely and helpful. Thank you, Danny!
Well done Jeff! Appreciate the support đđ
Danny is the best! He cares so deeply about his work. That you can feel him just willing you to get better!
Iâm so glad you say that. I really love what I do
All makes marvellous sense. You are so good knowing your audience and teaching in language we can all understand. Wish a lot of speakers would do the same!!
Thank you!
Hello Danny, Im a new sub - not sure how i've never seen any of your videos over the past 10+ years that i've been playing but im so glad that i finally i did. I've had some physical issues crop up in the past 2-3 years that have really wreaked a ton of havoc on my game. I watched a video last week where you were explaining how to swing your driver with your feet together to "feel" your balance or lack there of. Just by taking that time to slow everything down and feel my balance and rhythm- i shot my best round in probably 2 years. These videos are full of extremely useful information for amateurs like myself. Just wanted to share that and thank you for your help!!
Thatâs amazing to hear Paul, welcome to our community. Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback
Another piece to the puzzle. And another big thankyou Danny. As you know, I've been following as a fan for quite a while and you have helped my game immensely. I can neither thank you enough or recommend you to others enough. Pure legend Danny. Cheers.
Very welcome Stuart and thank you for your support đ
Danny this might be your best video yet! Such a simple explanation on some very key complex parts of swing that we tend to overlook. Iâve been playing over 45 years and still struggle with putting it all together. Your tip #4 hit it home for me. Canât wait to try it! Youâre the best!!
Thank you John! Let me know how you get on đ
Well done Danny đ đ
Something you said really resonated with me. I have a pretty good understanding of swing mechanics, thanks in part to your previous videos. In trying to change from a soft fade to a draw Iâve ended up with a big slice and it was driving me crazy. What you said about face control really hit home. I was so preoccupied about swinging from low on the inside I was leaving my face open. Quick trip to the range this afternoon and Iâm now hitting it better than ever. Bravo Danny. Thanks for the great content.
I stopped carrying a driver years ago because I couldn't hit it. Just got a new set of woods (and irons) and it was the same old issues. Slice, top, pull hook... I was making better contact but the results were inconsistent. After watching this video I hit the range today. Sure I had a few slices, but 90% of the time I made solid contact. Towards the end of my session even my mishits were straight with a slight draw, and I was consistently over 200 yards. Not bad for a 70 yr old. Thanks Danny!
Well done Tom! Thanks for taking the time to share đ
Thank you,Danny, another great lesson. I often push and/or hook my drives, so I will definitely try your suggestions. I think alignment is also a factor, so I will work on that too. I particularly want to thank you for your previous lesson on bunker play with your Dad. The ideas you shared have helped my bunker play
immensely. I often get it close first time, and, because I have a consistent method (courtesy of you), bunkers have lost their "fear factor". I greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you againâïž
Step #5 is particularly illuminating for me. I know that one of my big problems in golf is that I am naturally a back foot / back spin player in sport (e.g. table tennis) but my 'natural swing' causes a slice in golf. I just did your step #5 for the first time and noticed that the position that felt most comfortable for me with my eyes closed had the club face open. I now have a drill that can help me feel the correct position and get used to that. Thank you.
Took this to the range yesterday, had the best range session with driver I have ever had, 80% in my target zone, normally i would prob hit 30% with no confidence at all, the steps allowed me to create a set up process and then the focus of hitting the inside lower quadrant gave me a consistent focus. One thing i added was the head cover in front of the ball at 45% to the right, the thought was to get my hands to aim at the head cover, this helped with my over the top. Now to take it to the course :) Thanks Danny.
I found like many others that Danny has a way that explains and relates too so many golfers, look forward the you videos each week
Thank you Malcolm đ
Taking this to the course tomorrow, can't wait to see how much it helps. I've already gotten leaps and bounds better at driver this year with previous videos, but still don't have the confidence in the club yet. But your explanation of where to strike the ball off the tee helps me feel more confident already!
Best of luck!
Great video thank you for the helpful tips Danny I watch all of your videos, my game has definitely increased doing so.
My pleasure Robert, happy to help
Very helpful Danny!
Superb as always Danny. Thanks John
You are very welcome John
Utterly fantastic elementary breakdown of the mechanics and physics of what is happening. Love the simplicity!!!
Thank you đ
Fantastic content! Thanks for this lesson đđ»ââïž
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is fantastic!! I cannot wait to try these 5 steps at the range, then apply it to the next time on the course. Great visuals as always
Thank you Braddinger đ
Thank you again, that's really useful
You're very welcome!
Brilliant episode thank you
Thanks Ralph!
Great stuff! Thanks, Danny!
My pleasure!
Danny, youâre the best coach on youtube period. The passion is Gordon Ramsay level
Another great video Danny, thank you!
Pleasure Fitz
Another cracking lesson. Focussing on small targets on the ball and in the distance just works with the driver. Thanks Danny.
Thanks John!
As usual another great video Danny⊠Canât wait to use some of these this afternoon!!!
Thanks David let me know how you get on!
Great lesson! Tempo is SO important! I see so many guys playing with herky jerky backswings and inconsistent strikes. Iâm still finding my way, but that swing thought of âeasy swingâ is a big part of finding that good contact. Thanks for all you share Danny! đđ»đđ»ââïž
Great video Dan. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Dave
Great video Danny, all your videos are so well done! Thank you!
Thank you Cyle đ
Great vid, thank you, Danny!
Thank you Bill!
Absolutly love thĂšse tips
Really happy to help Gary
Once again these are tips I've heard before but I love that expression keeping the clubface calm. Thanks again Danny.
Thanks for the support Graham
@@DanielMaude You are more than welcome. My Saturday mornings always start with a cup of tea and a Danny Maude coaching video đđïž
Just what I needed. Will be putting into practice on the course Monday
Have fun Craig
Another great video, great basic steps to take to the range and practice! Thanks
Thank you Alb!
So helpful Danny, thank you đ
Pleasure Blaze
Thank you for another very clear, helpful video.
Excellent & clear explanation.
Now all we have to do is DO IT.
Easier said than done.
Happy to help Alan!
Danny thanks a bunch have a great weekend
Thank you Garry!
Brilliant as usual Danny cheers
Really kind Mick thank you
Great explanation, Danny! Took it to the field and it worked (sometimes) ...
Well done đđ
Great video again danny
Thank you!
Great lesson (well five mini lessons) - much to be gleaned in these basic steps on understanding how club path AND face to path are so interrelatedâŠ..interestingly enough in recent rounds Iâve adopted the first three as part of my regular pre-shot routine and this video confirms Iâm on the better path as Iâm averaging around 9 of 14 fairways hit (and the misses are either just a yard or so off - not wildly in the weeds or woods). It has translated into my iron play by allowing me to work toward âpredictableâ shot shapingâŠ.solid, very solidâŠ.keep âem coming to us âsoccerâ folk on this side of the pondâŠ
Thank you Willie! Appreciate the support đ
Danny, Great video explaining the feel aspect of the clubs. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you again for all that you do and even the responses you send back. It means a lot.....
Thank you appreciate the support đ
Thanks for this week's lesson Danny. Will take to the range and experiment!
Hope it goes well John đ
you wont be disappointed.
Thanks Danny, I have found your videos really helpful and you explain things very clearly, unlike most American coaching Pros. You have made a great difference to my game.
Thatâs incredibly kind of you Peter
Great video again Danny â€
Thatâs really kind Dirk thank you
This video is outstanding to help someone tune their drive whether you slice or hook. I was hitting a nice draw, but for some reason got into hitting a fade and even pushing it. This instruction on the physics of striking the ball completely got me back to where I was with a slight draw consistently going down the middle of the fairway. Thank you Danny!
Thank you Jay đ
The best I have ever seen đđ
Really happy to help Stanley
Thanks!
Thank you Dave very kind, really appreciate the support đ
As always, excellent video Danny! Can you do a video on not raising your hands at impact. Which comes first, losing posture or raising hands at impact?
I lost 5 balls off the tee on Saturday (my shots were slices and hooks) but on the holes where I did get a chance to go for the green, my short game was great (holes 12 onwards - level par, after Iâd employed the temporary fix of playing as if I were knocking my drives into the wind.
After my round, this video was waiting in my inbox. Shocking timing on your part! đ€Ł
Last night, I took the tips straight on to the course - went out for 7 holes, and 5 out of my 6 drives were absolutely spot-on. The one which wasnât, was the one on #2, which went straight, but had it gently and slightly faded, as Iâd expected, it would have been perfect.
Steps 1-4, Iâve sorted. Just have to work on step 5 now.
Thanks so much. So easy to understand, even I could!
Letâs see what Saturday brings.
One question⊠do you ever tour up North or visit Pete Cowenâs range?
Thatâs awesome to hear Alan, I đŻ get up north as my family are all based around Leeds
@@DanielMaude please let us know if you do any instructing on your travels up here - group or otherwise đ
Fantastic!
Many thanks Gregg
Terry Cork, great points Danny, I tend to hook my drives. The following lesson with the irons needed I very really strike the ball then the turf
Typo that should
Hi Danny, just got my new irons and woods, so fully committed now to getting back on the fairways again. It'll take a bit more practice on the range before I'm ready to tackle being on a course again but things are going well after such a long break. Thank you, your teaching style is what has inspired me to get of my arse and give it a GO again!! All best, Steve
Glad they help Steve đ
Thank you!
Happy to help John!
Great video very useful
Thanks Dan!
Excellent video Danny. Thank you. I have played golf for 20 years and always struggled with a fade/slice with my driver.
I tried taking the driver back slowly today and controlling the club face. Boom - straight down the middle. Let's hope it stays down the middle! đ
Thanks! Keep me updated with how you get on Craig!
Well done Craig!
So simple. Just got new clubs. Driver going right now. This makes so much sense . Thank you
Thank you Fursey!
Terry Cork
Hi. I had to watch this one again, so helpful.
Great vid Danny
Thanks Steve
Great as usual especially that last tip
Thanks Lou đ
Brilliant video for me. In my 70s and hit the ball as far as ever with these swing thoughts - 42 sf today. ! Thanks
Thank you Ann!
Thanks Danny, great tips as usual - I will definitely being taking them to the course this week. I have such a pronounced fade to the right that I recently bought a draw biased driver (which i am yet to try) in an effort to bring it under control. After watching your video, I may just work on my strike with my old neutral driver.
Happy to help Geoff! đ
Hi Danny, Iâm new to the game and these lessons are helping me. Thank you!
@aaronfulton3772 thatâs great. Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it đđ»
The lower quadrant part was a game changer for me. Started using it for my iron shots as well and I got more accuracy there too. Great vid!
Well done Chris!
Great tips!
Happy to help Shaun
Thanks Danny, will try these on Thursday and see if my weak slice improves!
Hope it works well for you đ
I swear your videos get better and better, Dan. Crystal clear instructions and mental pictures. I didn't win last week but I won't sue you as my fault is never warming up and then taking 6 holes before I start playing. Tomorrow, I am hitting 30-40 balls pre-round and marking the golfball as per this video. đ
Thank you Geoff! Very kind đ
Danny great instruction to the perfect swing đđregards Mike
Thank you Mike appreciate the support đ
My local pro has me working on this subject. Your five part video helped me to lock it down. Thanks, Danny
Happy to help Bill!
Your videos are the best. I just took the lessons from your other driving video where you explained slicing. You had my swing pegged exactly and the explanation on what was happening was just perfect and really helped. At the range this week I hit my first draw:) using your suggestion of visualizing hitting to the right. (here hitting the inside part of the ball) Thank you.
One thing I noticed here is that your back foot seems slightly behind the front, when i did that at the range it helped. I need more practice for sure, but there are times on the course when I could use a bit of a slice (slight dog -leg right) and others a draw, is that something that can be done by adjusting your back foot?
Hey Danny, once again a great summary of many relevant points to hit great. Could you add in one of your next videos fixes and cures or even drills to hit the sweetspot better, please? I would like to learn how to avoid heel strikes, which also cause a slice effect... Thanks, Carola
Great idea đ
Brilliant Danny. I'm going to the range in a couple days. I'll be trying the inside mark on the ball.
Thanks Kenny!
Such a great reminder of the laws of the club face. Face sends, path bends. I definitely can take the control the face step from this one. I have been doing it with irons, but got in a bad habit with driver. Thank you Danny! When can you move to the states! đ
Thank you Jim! Appreciate the support đ
Spin drill fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it
The last 2 minutes was the key tip!!!!!â€âđ„â€âđ„â€âđ„â€âđ„
Happy to help!
Point 5 is interesting, will give it a go, thanks đ
Thanks Graham!
Great Video as alwaysâŠthanks.
Would like to see you do a video on grip and grip pressure.
Thank you Bob!
That course looks utterly beautiful
Thanks itâs Canterbury đ
Perfect timing. I'm going out to play with my boys tomorrow and they will be amazed at how straight (and long) I hit my drives! Thanks. đ
How do you feel about "trigger" moves to start the swing, and are there any you would recommend?
Thanks Danny!!! Dom
Thanks Di!
Hi Danny. Very good tips again, thank you. Can you give more drills on how to develop club face awareness.
Certainly will
Iâm considering planning my next family vacation to the UK so I can sneak away for a couple hours and get a lesson from the best on CZcams. Great lesson Danny!
Brilliant instruction. Do you think itâs necessary to close your stance to effectively hit the inside quadrant of the ball for a draw?
I like the language you use. Word choice makes a big difference in our understanding of the subject!
Thank you!
Thanks coach! i said earlier that your "effortless swing" video made my swing feel very natural, but i hadnt tested it on the range/course yet, only in my garden..Well, yesterday on first tee i smoked the straightest drive ive ever done, followed up by a straight long 6 iron..i fumble the puts tho haha, but after that i made 3 pars in a row, and and after 5 holes i was 4-1 up against my friend, who ALLWAYS beat međ In the end i played worse and got tierd and he beat me tho, but thats not the point, bc last couple times we played, all he been seeing from me are snaphooks and clubs flying lol... this is just the beginning! Rome (my golf) wsnt build in 1 dayđâ Have a great day!
Which exact video are you referring to?đ
â@@frederikmller1753 Hi..well i have worked alot with his diffrent videos, so i cant say its Only 1..but the video i was reffering to was czcams.com/video/9rQkCDG6Lvc/video.htmlsi=1OOaxtoub3BRKK-x

Danny !đđđ
Cheers Phil đ
Just been up the range with my driver after putting it away yesterday on the back 9 due to being all over the shop.
I know these are basics but it's amazing how quickly you can forget/slide away from good practice. Nearly every shot within 10/15 yds of dispersion.
Thanks Danny. You're an alchemist.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to comment đ
@@DanielMaude No problem. It always amazes me how easily i can get away from the basics. I need a backhanded slap off you once a month to set me straight.
Amazing content as usual. My driver is my worst club. Im going to try this even though im getting lessons currently with my driver
Happy to help, let me know how you get on CB đ
Thanks again for simplifying things and helping fix and improve us lesser beings.
Thanks Mel đ
Great video to simplify the âphysicsâ of golf. Love the target on the ball concept, the brain will naturally compensate to hit that target if that is what we tell the brain to do!
This is great Danny I hit a lot of low left shots with my driver can you explain where your hands should be at contact! I feel like mine are too much in front of the ball đ€·đ»ââïž thanks Danny
