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 KZhead 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!

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
I’ve been playing golf for 40 years, but am learning so much from Danny, brilliant!
Really happy to hear that Jason
So is his Dad! 🙌
Nothing compares to a good teacher, especially with golf.
I’ve been golfing for 40 minutes and haven’t learned anything! I’ll report back after this video
me too!! He makes it so easy to understand!!
Just what I needed. Thank you! I always seem to find myself in this range, probably due to being short on my 2nd shot. Going to practice this tomorrow!
Super helpful with not only the swing but navigating that wedge range on the course. Thanks Danny!
Another gem! Thank you! On the topic of bunkers - using your tips I have improved, but today I had a horrible thinned shot, now I’m back to “knees knocking before bunker attempts.
Thanks! I have benefitted tremendously from your lessons. You have an amazing skill to simplify instructions. Keep up the good work…
Love all these tips. This is a really good one for me. I have a lot of these shots and tend to thin them more than not. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!
Danny, this was a great lesson. Such a difficult shot and requires so much confidence.
I've been watching your videos for several years. I love your approach to instruction of a very difficult game. I also remember from your original video with Mr. Cowens that in the course of the pitch shot telling yourself that "you're just messing about." Let the club fall, pressure down, get the body out of the way, and you're just messing about. Somehow, that message relaxes the body and the mind if you're just 'messing about.' Thanks Danny!
I first saw another video by Danny with the same technique a few months ago and have been using it since then. It really works and my mates have commented on it a few times when we've played. A really nice and good looking technique to learn. I always use this. Thanks Danny!
I've only just seen this - absolutely brilliant. Thank you Danny.
I really enjoy your visualizations Danny. Thank you for making them easy to understand and simple to take to the range or the course to practice.
My pleasure Ryan, really happy to help
Any golfers who learn golf from KZhead! This is a 1000$ lesson or program! This will set your swing in right and easy way! Thanks a ton Danny !
Really happy to help, thanks for the feedback
Hi Danny, my pitching has been poor lately so, as always, I took your advice about getting the left shoulder out of the way. It felt really positive and I realised that I would get a much better strike right through the bag if I used this tip. So, I took it to the course as my swing thought for the day and struck the ball much better from driver through to wedge. Brilliant. Still lost my match, but a definite improvement. It's no surprise to me that your now World No 1 golf instructor online. IMHO, the GOAT!
Yes, yes, yes! Loved the videos you did with Pete on greenside work. I love that you identified that you were using all the shots here with the 56* wedge. I have settled on the 54* for this work and use much of what you are discussing here to rehearse the shots. I am fortunate enough to have "zones" in my yard "and my neighbors'" to hit to that allow for designated distances. Hence, I am able to know how much momentum I need to have with the wedge to get the ball to drop, roll and stop. The lead and trail arm drills are the bomb and help coordinate a true fluid feel to the swing. Have had a number of fellow players of late talk about how fluid my pitch swing is and there is nothing like that clean, crisp sound of the ball coming off the face of the club flying to the target and coming to a stop at "kick-in" distance from the pin. Great lesson as always....
Hey Danny! Just wanted to give you a massive thanks! You have completely changed my chipping and pitching this year. It has even translated to my putter. My short game confidence is sky high and has never been better. The concept of "letting the club drop" and having some rhythm and pop to the swing, like a throw or toss, has been a game changer for me. You have a great way of explaining and simplifying things. I have 4 chip ins this year! After only having 1 for decades! Keep the great videos coming!
Brilliant well done Wesstelzer 🙌
I can't believe how easy this was to do, it gives you so much confidence, I can now focus on where I want the ball to go, rather worrying about making the shot, thanks Danny.
That’s brilliant to hear, thanks for sharing
Danny! You are an amazing teacher, lucid & generous in sharing everything without holding back... you will become one of the best known golf teachers of our life time.. thank you once again
Thanks so much for your support Thomas, really appreciate it
Correct! This is a fantastic video as was the one with Pete Cowan - has improved my pitching enormously. Making these videos lessons every week must involve A lot of work for which we are most grateful thanks again. Mark
Really appreciate that Mark
Mark its unbelievable how this affected my first round after some practicing always afraid to use my 60 degree but had so many 1 putts of from 10-40 meters it cannot be coincidence as I never managed this before.
Danny has become my go-to guy for simple tips and setup techniques. His style of presenting works perfectly for me. Thanks, Dan, great stuff as always.
Thank you Thaddeus 😁
I'm just getting into golf. This channel is a blessing
Wow, the one arm drill feels wonderful. Gives me good rhythm and the divot is consistent after the ball. Love the video!
Amazing to hear!
Danny you have a true gift!!! Every teaching video is so clear and helpful
That’s really kind, thanks so much for taking the time to feedback
Danny, Thanks a lot for another incredible but easy way to play this shot. There are literally so many videos on this, but nothing beats simplicity I guess. This is yet another one of those numerous videos of yours I’ve seen and learnt. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
Thank you Raj 😁
Great stuff Danny. I've tried it and it works. You manage to convey the key principles in a practical and straightforward way. You're inspirational.
That’s really kind, thanks for sharing your progress
Another great video Danny, thank you. Such an important part of the game, to help us save some shots. I can get close to the green in regulation, then the chipping/pitching nerves kick in. Thanks once again for the great content.
Thanks David 😁
Great video. I’ve been hitting full shots like I shoot in the 70’s, but my chipping and the 30-80 yard shots like I shoot over 100. I like your video and will give it a try.
Brilliant as always, Danny, by far the best golf coach out there, and I've watched them all! Thank you so much for your content!
Really kind of you to say David,
Great video Danny! Every question that came to mind while watching this, was almost immediately answered!
Thank you Bob!
You are the greatest host around on KZhead!! The way you explain things to us is just so good and learns us so much in an understandable yet professional way! Keep it up!
Really kind thank you
Best coach on the net Danny, really well explained again... Thanks
I've been struggling with my short game for DECADES, and I've tried tons of changes in the past to no avail. I just employed these tips yesterday on the course and saw a substantial improvement! Now I just need to get to the range and commit them to muscle memory... If my pitching/chipping continues on the new path I just started, then my overall scores will vastly improve, along with my love for the game. Thanks for breaking it down so simply, Danny! This was the first video of yours I've seen, but you earned a new subscriber with it.
Hope your short game is improving Elliott
Excellent drill Danny, thanks for helping us average golfers improve
My pleasure, I love it
Thank you for this, this range has been what I've struggled with the most so far this season. Couldn't have come at a better time!
Love to hear how you get on
Thanks, Danny - as usual very well delivered tip - just one question you didn’t mention whether the weight should be more on the lead leg which I thought was usual in chipping and I assume with ensuring level shoulders that weight is equally balanced? Thanks again.
I love the way you describe the feel. Like you are giving the club some some rhythm and how you are getting good contact. I will try to put this into contact, the energy is there.
Thank you Lyndon 😁
Thanks for another thoughtful and insightful video, Danny. I like the way you have made your own interpretation of what Pete Cowen teaches and made it assimilable for ordinary golfers. Having had a few hours to practise the takeaways of this, I now have my own interpretation. I found that concentrating on allowing the club to fall where it wants to - using natural forces, in Cowenese - has transformed my strike and consistency throughout the short game (bunker shots included). I found that by doing nothing to impede or manipulate the club's motion coming through the ball, I moved out the way without trying. To get the feeling of this consistently, swinging with the lead hand only first as you suggest really helps. Having struggled round the greens for a number of years, I'm now really excited about the upcoming season. Thanks again.
That’s wonderful to hear Adrian, well done
I recently bought a 56 degree and this makes so much sense thanks for some perspective on this
Another excellent lesson for me and many of my friends who follow Danny. Thank you.
Pleasure, really happy to help
I really love your golf tips. I am a high handicap golfer and want to improve my game . I found that I take your tips to the driving range and that reinforces what your teaching . Thanks so much
Awesome to hear Mark well done
THE best youtube instructor I have come across yet. You can't imagine how valuable this stuff is for me. Just shot my life best 90 the other weekend after starting my golf journey shooting in the 120+ when It began a couple years ago. After lots of range time and applying some of the knowledge I found on this channel (and others) the game feels almost easy some days haha. It feels like free mini lessons. Next stop is the 80s so keep this stuff coming.
Brilliant Ansel well done 👍
Best thing I ever found for pitching was to feel "dead hands" - hit different lengths and flights with different clubs and back swing lengths, but my last thought for all of them is "dead hands". I think that thought and feel is giving me the same thing you're referring to in this video - just feeling the club drop and let the momentum take care of things as I turn my chest to the target. Still need to practice a LOT more and get the distances dialled in, but the times I've spent a little time on this I've been pleasantly surprised how easy it is to get consistency - now I love playing 30-80 yard shots (even if they don't always go to plan ...but that's golf for you 😉)
Super video - Danny explains everything so clearly and keeps the instruction simple.
Thank you 😁
This video has been a game changer for me, that 30 -80 yard distance has been a real struggle for me but not anymore. Thank-You Danny! Off to search for a driver video now.
Awesome, look forward to hearing how you get on
Thanks Danny, really struggle with this distance. Never sure whether to pitch or bump n run these shots. I give it a go 👍
Try it Colin and if you have any questions just come back here and ask away
Hi Danny, Very well explained and something that was pointed out to me a few years ago. You are spot on with your lesson. The circle you demonstrate is key to hitting better shots and like many of your subscribers you have helped improve my game immensely. Enjoy your week!
Thank you Matt hope you do too 👍
What not watching the coronation! No golf instruction is way more important, cheers Danny. Another gem used it on coronation day with total success, and that’s a first.
Naaa, I’ve just come back from another practice session 😁
Cheers Danny I’ve been trying your takeaway drill complete game changer Keep up the great content 💥💥
This lesson has really helped me. Still working out how much momentum is needed for different distances, and experimenting with different wedges (lower bounce for tight lies) to avoid thin shots.
Thanks Jerome 😁
Hi Danny, your videos have really improved my golf especially chipping around the green. Scoring as began to come down and i am being more consistent.
Amazing to hear Jeff, well done
Danny - this has been my issue for ages. GREAT video - I either come up short or run the green and off the back - glad I found your video’s.
9😊
Thanks again Danny, I’ll be warming up with this today before my round. Of course I’ll be there early😀
Have fun Arnold
Great lesson Danny. No dissociation and letting the club dropping gave me immediate results. Thanx !
Awesome to hear
Danny you are by far the best youtube instructor that I know of in this platform.
Really kind of you to feedback. Always doing my best to help
Been working this lesson in the yard the last few days!! Made a huge difference, Thank you Danny!!
Brilliant to hear Phil
Me too, I even cut some grass to get different shots and I made a small mud pit for that difficult shot on the short.
My short game has improved 10x fold since I've been learning from Danny and his Peter Cowen series. Without fail, I learn something new every time I come back and watch them again.
Amazing to hear
Just what I was working on yesterday and looks just like the help I need, thanks Danny
Love to hear how it goes Graham
Yes definitely helps improve my consistency, thanks
One to take with me on to the course today! I definitely try to force things too much so will see how I get on! Thanks for sharing
Love to hear how you get on Lee
@@DanielMaude the only part of my game which was remotely consistent - quite a few nice shots feeling much more relaxed in the swing. Thanks! I’m pretty new to golf and I’m quite inconsistent off the tee. Am I overthinking / do you have a video on tee shots at all not using the driver? Thanks!
Most aspects of my game are finally coming together but this is what i need the most work on. Thanks for the tips!
No problem Bryce 😁
Thanks Danny for another great video. Your video with Pete Cowan helped me a lot around the greens and this one is a great summary.
That’s great to hear Eva
Omg what a great drill it helped my ball contact and also my tempo for the shot and to get my body out of the way .. awesome stuff Danny
That’s awesome Ian
Another great video but my comment here is a general one and this is that you, Danny Maude, have improved my golf game. The quality of my swing and the results I’m getting since I started to watch and incorporate your videos has improved. I guess everyone learns in different ways, but the way you explain and demonstrate the various techniques required to play well (and thus enjoy the game more) really works for me. Thank you for what you do.
Couldn't agree more well said
I totally agree with Ian here, too. The pure focus on dynamic moves that you teach with simplified drills and your sturdy explanations (by this I mean the focus on feel, action and effects rather than plain physical laws) make all the difference to me.
Thank you Ian very kind 😁
When I was in my teens, I naturally was able to hit pitching shots within 100 yards consistently without any instruction. It was easily the strongest part of my game. When I hit my twenties, one summer I suddenly got the yips between 20-100 yards and to this day I still haven't fully shaken them. The information and tips you've shared have really helped me diagnose my pitching and the things I am doing wrong out of fear to compensate.Watching you hit those pitch shots, while explaining the rythm and shoulder positioning, brought back memories of the satisfying feeling you get after hitting a clean, effortless pitch shot without even thinking twice about it! Thank you!
I have the yips as well. I'll try this!
Thanks Alex hope it helps you 😁
As you stated, think of the rhythm as a throwing motion of the ball towards the hole to help control distance. Works for me.
Danny, great lesson that illustrates -and explains - the Pete Cowen short pitching method so well. The short game stuff with Pete on your website is pound for pound the best pitching/bunker/chipping teaching ever. A peerless Yorkshire double act. As you approach a million subscribers can I say thanks for the work that goes into this teaching of this quality. Take a bow 👏👏👏
Thank you John very kind 😁
Took this out to the course last Sunday evening and took my time over the drills. On third 55 yards out hit three balls to 5, 8 and 12 feet. Walked in and had a beer. Top, top teaching this.
Just came from the range after watching this video. It really helps! I will save this video and watch it again and again. thank you!
Thanks Jesse 😁
You have transformed my short game. I either had a big flop shot or a squeezy chip as my options. But when you described how to glide the club and bruise the ground that just clicked and it is my go to thought for those 20-70 yard shots.
Wonderful to hear Justin
Great video Danny will try this out , like the rhythmic side of this using the forces of density of the instrument wedge being used . I thought my chipping pitching was ok but didn’t practice for a few weeks . Hit some brilliant irons then messed up the pitch about 50 yards away . Feel like I have to start again . I’m going to put the alignment stick under my arm as a guide as you have shown . I imagine a lot of the weight is going on the front door still
The fact that you are noting what club you're using is the best thing I've seen yet!!!
Thanks for the feedback
That's a great lesson Danny, I think it's also important to keep the head still through the swing
Yes although I don’t mind the head moving slightly up to allow the club to drop
I just discovered few weeks ago your channel. On each new round, I tried to work on one or two drills (chipping at this time) Massive improvement I have to admit. Now lI need to get better consistency. But definitely, your drills are helping me. Thanks Danny from Lyon
Fantastic!
Great vid! Pulls the all the Pete Cowen ideas together into a comprehensive view. Mr. Cowen always refers to natural forces, I always guested he was talking about using gravity to accelerate the club head while the golfers body (left shoulder?) becomes the center of the arc for centrapetal force. You just demonstrated his ideas. Really great.
Thank you 😁
Danny, you are a good master. Personally, I have benefited from your video. Thank you very much
That was pure gold for me cheers Danny 👌🏌🏽
Pleasure Paul, all the best
Fantastic Explanation. I can't wait to go practice this. Thank you!!
Thanks Huntington! Enjoy👍
🎉 cheers Danny, thank you. Really helpful. I appreciate you. One day I will video my application of one of your lessons.
Love to see that Stacy
this is a very relaxed way of chipping i really enjoyed another one of your video,s i will take this with me to the course today. thanks.
Thanks Paul!
So good to watch and learn. Thanks once again Danny.
Pleasure Pauline, all the best
lovely, amazing and beautiful tip. Thanks , will try this out definitely, had been struggling with this
Hope it helps you Kamran 👍
@chrisryan and you Danny are by a distance the two best coaches/ describers/ orators about golf improvement techniques on YT. Simple, clear and in layman’s terms instructions for the majority of golfers, but also little nuggets for top end amateurs alike.👍👏🎓
Really kind Jamie, Chris is awesome
Danny you are a champion. Pitching has always been my nemesis on the golf course and I think a very accomplished player once said the game begins at 70metres. Cheers
Pleasure Peter, happy to help
Thank you. Something I’m working on trying to improve at the moment. I’m needing more consistency.
The letting go part of this is super important and something I never really see amateurs doing
Wonderful instruction once again from Danny. Thanks buddy!🙂👍
Pleasure Kenneth, really happy to help
Love it. I will share this with the UG boys. They need this. As you can see from the Shorts video's we all need your tips 😂 Scott ❤️⛳️✌🏼
Awesome, love to hear how you get on
it's crazy how when i start struggling at a certain type of shot from overthinking or fear of a bad shot here you are with a video same day or days later that helps!
Happy to help 😁
A big thing for me with pitch shots is the grip. I think this really emphasizes the idea of letting the club drop naturally. Once I started staying loose with the grip to allow the clubhead to drop in my downswing, this whole technique of pitching became a lot less of a conscious effort and that 50-60 yard shot over a bunker onto the green magically no longer frightens me.
That’s great Paul, thanks for sharing
Id never played before until a month ago when I went with some lads from work. Really enjoyed it brought some clubs and started watching Danny's videos and they've shaved nearly 40 strokes off my first score to what is now a respectable round already. Thank you so much
You must be a natural! That's exciting!
Well done Pricey 👍
Going out for my first round of the season! So excited and I hope I can remember and implement some of the things I've learned from your channel!
Thanks Danny. Always keeps it simple. Great tip and drill. I assume a little more weight on the front foot wouldn’t hurt? Keep up the great content!
always great workable info thanks Danny! soften let the club drop!! is the key.. ty ty ty
Pleasure Sven, all the best
Thank you Danny, great help as always. 😊
Pleasure, hope it helps
Thanks Danny for the tips, it now helps on my short game.😊
Thanks Mohd 😁
Ive played ocasional weekend golf but now at age 70 and retired I am trying to seriously learn the game. Danny's tips are huge value additions.
Thank you Keshav 👍
Danny… Good morning! Thank you for sharing! You are very generous and providing valuable information. You especially have a knack for communicating with clarity. Anxious to incorporate this into my game a round tomorrow. Thanks again.
Love the videos. Definitely the best available. I still struggle with short chips. I can’t slow down my back swing and regularly duff my chips. It’s equivalent to chipping yips. I’ll keep practicing though.
Have you seen this one for chipping Gerry kzhead.info/sun/eJl7gcmpkZ9pqqc/bejne.html
I used this in this morning's round having not practiced it at all. I was always pulling pitches left with great consistency, getting the distance but always left. So I aimed right, and of course they go straight there, missing by the same distance, but on the right. But this morning, it was just that little go-with-it move, the chest turning toward the target through impact that sorted it. Got up and down from 60 yards twice, and would have been 3 times but for missing a 4 footer. Probably more to the point, all 7 of them went to easy 2-putt range, which is a big thing when you're in the low 80s bracket. Shot 81.
Appreciate this video so much; I tend to leave my pitching shots short from being tentative.
If you fully commit to letting the club fall you will then learn how to manage it by moving the body out of the way
I used to thin or top my 56 degr. green side or up to 50 meters. Tried this technique today and all the shots popped up and landed reasonably close to the hole instead of overshooting the green. Thanks Danny, your tips are clear and concise and really help!
Thanks Steve happy to hear it 😁⛳️
I wish this stuff was around when I started playing golf in the mid seventies. Great video
Thank you!
One of your best and one of the best by anyone. When recommending you, it is this video I will use from now on.. Thank you so much for your dedication in making us better
Thank you happy to help !
I love the 5 second drill. Letting the club fall, getting your lead shoulder up back and out of the way allowing momentum to do its thing. My rhythm and distance control are both improving.--
Happy to help Rikkousa 😁
Wow so simple and logical! Thanks Danny
Really kind Paul, thank you
Thanks Danny, will try this today during a practice round
Have fun Chris
Danny is very good, probably one of the most important lessons to bring your scores down.
Thanks David !
