Very helpful for people like me that don't play on Bermuda unless they take a golf holiday somewhere warm and are suddenly confronted with Bermuda. It's weird that grass can grow sideways. I've done it all: the instant stop, and even completely fluffing it going fully under and through on a lie that was on top of a thick airy patch.
Its a common grass in Mississippi. At least 90% of the courses have Bermuda from tee to greens. Can also hurt your feelings when the grain is heavy on the greens.
Now you tell me lol. Took me hours on the practice green to figure this out. Your instruction has helped my short game. Now that I’ve been working on this a while seems like every time I pick up your book I pick up on something useful. Thanks.
I really needed this ty. I'm playing Monte Rei in a few weeks. Last time I played on Bermuda grass was Dubai and my iron shots and chipping from the rough was horrendous
You couldn't have timed this better Dan as I'm down in South Africa at the moment and have been really struggling trying to play release 1.The other thing I find is you have to be super aggressive with every shot because 99% of the time come up well short. Many Thanks.
Green side rough in Portugal absolutely destroyed me last year. Quinto Do Lago especially. I'm not a confident short game player back home so had no chance over there lol
Love your content Dan. Maybe you could take a mid-high handicapper with you on these trips, and I can show you how to hit 200 yards with a 60° out of the burmuda 😂 ⛳️ 🏌️♂️
Hardpan allows you to "Spin the Ball" so "lots of Height" is unnecessary. All you need is 12 inches above Anything between you and the Green to guarantee clearing the obstacle.
I can't wait for the next video! I never thought of the types of grass that are out there in the world. I guess I have the same type of grass in Brittany, France as you have in the UK. Certainly not a Bermuda gras. Which one is it, I wonder? 🧐
Hi Dan. This is Tony saying hello from Riverside California. I have benefited a lot from your three releases as I am planning to get your book. One question. I have the releases for my wedges, but what release should I use for my driver and irons. Thanks so much in advance!!! 😀 ⛳️
If that tight lie is into the grain, "use your normal shot" is not good advice. I know you are the expert, but still. BTW I just bought your book and really like the straightforward method. The #2 release has already tremendously improved my short game. Back to the original point, I'd love to see a video on chipping into the grain on bermuda. The only things that work for me are raising the heel off the ground, or using a putter or hybrid.
Surprised didn’t discuss grain… figured that would be lie assessment 1a on Bermuda. tight lie on an ever so slight uphill into the grain - no thank you
I get your point Dan, but when you demonstrate that release 1 isn't gonna work from the back foot, at least don't stab 2 inches behind the ball... I guess you would get a decent result from that lie with that shot...
Dan, it looks like you are gripping your wedges like a putter for these shots? I know some tour players that do this also. I guess for a little more control?
Dan, It looks to me that playing on Bermuda all the time is going to influence your short game technique and players who are used to it are going to have problems evolving a short game for bent grass and also the other way round. I can see that happening with players who play the Asian tour and rock up in Europe and the other way round. The snag you get on Bermuda grass has to be factored in and will get in you on a sub conscious level if you play it a lot and it is going to be difficult to adjust to when playing on bent grass and the techniques are different also.
Dan, when you release, it almost means braking with the arms/shoulders and letting the wrist break and come around? Right? I have trouble with trying to move the grip into the belt buckle or hip.
Hi Dan, great info as always thank you. Just wondering what your grip pressure is like in the thick stuff? Do you grip tighter than you would on a tight lie?
Yes. I grip the club slightly tighter in my left hand (as a right handed golfer) to help stop the face turning over when the ball is deeper in the rough
Dan do you think it is possible to get the same kind of tight accuracy and consistency chipping from Bermuda grass as you can from bent grass? I have always found it much more difficult getting up and down from Bermuda and made hitting the green more important. Watching this video although you played the chips well you were not getting them as close as you do when demonstrating on your home course. What do the stats say about this question?
@@DanGrieveGolf That is what I found when playing in Thailand, the shot that caused me the most problems was the short side chip where I would hit it long to a back pin having very little green to work with and in most cases chipping into a downslope on a short shot shot.. I could be no more than 12 to 15 feet away from the pin and I would not get up and down., grain on the green also made it much more complex it was not just the rough.
Pretty sure he was with the grain on the tight lie shot, which is super easy and what he said is sufficient. Into the grain Bermuda is completely different animal and he did not even touch that topic.
I think he was into based on the divot but clipped it off nice. 8i is the play. Into the grain Bermuda on a tight lie is tricky. Especially to a close pin. Way to easy to grab and just move the ball a foot. Crazy.
That’s how you play it, bump and run hitting ball first. Grain is irrelevant when you can hit ball first. You just can’t do it when ball’s sat down in Bermuda because you can’t avoid the grass behind it even if your low point is perfect.

Perfect for Florida! Thank you!
Reading the lie is a tough skill to cultivate! Your guidance on this is excellent! Thank you-

The only shot I struggled with was thick bermuda, ball sitting high. After watching DAN, I have hit every one perfect.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’m in Australia & these tips are very helpful as most courses here are Bermuda.
No they aren’t!?! 🤔
Ah yea they are
@@justin2475 which courses?

My home track in Southern California are all Bermuda and Cacuya… I had to learn this the hard way after years of playing haha. Thanks Dan
Great tips because Bermuda is so unforgiving. Respect what you have to overcome and not just play the shot! Consistent teaching Dan. Love it!

Playing at villa sol in the Algarve next week so invaluable advice thank you
Thanks Dan, you're a gifted teacher!

Best short game instructor in the business. 🏌️⛳

Dormant Winter Bermuda rough gives me fits when the turf is patchy and soil is hard/muddy underneath.
Brilliant - playing La Manga and exactly the problem - fantastico 👍😊
This is really going to be a game changer. Thanks
Very helpful here in Texas. Perhaps you could go over hard pan shots and high shot off of hard pan.
Hardpan allows you to "Spin the Ball" so "lots of Height" is unnecessary.
All you need is 12 inches above Anything between you and the Green to guarantee clearing the obstacle.
Great video Dan. Just wish i was somewhere warm enough to play on that kind of grass! 😂
Genius you are, thanks so much!
Just what I need for my round this weekend, thanks!!!
Glad to help!
kikuyu is similar, but those dug in ones are just brutal - every lie is seemingly unique!
Great advice, Dan! Now please do Kikuyu! Thanks!
Great info Dan.
Brilliant. Never would have thought that.
Great stuff Dan! Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait for the next video! I never thought of the types of grass that are out there in the world. I guess I have the same type of grass in Brittany, France as you have in the UK. Certainly not a Bermuda gras. Which one is it, I wonder? 🧐
Ask in the "Pro Shop", they will tell you the types of Grasses on the Course.
Thank you very much for this video!
My Man. Thank you
i guess same applies for kikuyu grass...💯
good advice, thanks
Thank you for the great video!
Brilliant, cheers Dan 👏
Great video thanks for the tips

Disagree, but value your opinion. If you have any content on it I’ll gladly watch.
Have to use your bounce into the grain for sure. Well not for sure but for me, I do. Lol. That or toe down like you said.
Please review that tight fairways setup on Bermuda …I seem to get too
Steep or too much leading edge
Surprised didn’t discuss grain… figured that would be lie assessment 1a on Bermuda. tight lie on an ever so slight uphill into the grain - no thank you

You might make the green yes, but if lots of grass behind the ball it will always grab
Trying to find the video where Dan indicates the wedges he uses - loft and grind? Saw it but can’t find now?
I'm making a full RUclips video on this soon!
Dan, it looks like you are gripping your wedges like a putter for these shots?

Quality content, thank you..
Dan, when you release, it almost means braking with the arms/shoulders and letting the wrist break and come around? Right? I have trouble with trying to move the grip into the belt buckle or hip.
How similar to a bunker shot are those 56 or 60 degree shots?
If you don't have the skill to chip you can also use a hybrid and putt it out
what bounce would you recommend for wedges whilst playing out of bermuda?
Dan do you still use light grip pressure as you say a 3 out of 10 in the sticky stuff?
Bit tighter in those lies
Is all the content in the online school/videos youre currently working on...already in your book?
Hi Dan, great info as always thank you. Just wondering what your grip pressure is like in the thick stuff? Do you grip tighter than you would on a tight lie?
Yes. I grip the club slightly tighter in my left hand (as a right handed golfer) to help stop the face turning over when the ball is deeper in the rough

Watching this video although you played the chips well you were not getting them as close as you do when demonstrating on your home course. What do the stats say about this question?
Yes much tougher as you can’t get the same control, will always be a bit of a mystery how they come out.

AWESOME
Bermuda is in thing, but tight fescue against the mowing line…..?
And for a high shot off a tight Bermuda lie? I struggle with this shot, easy to blade it.
On the tight lies bouncing it off the face takes time to get the distance right but key is listen to the sound
Similar to very mossy grass, I'm guessing?
Pretty sure he was with the grain on the tight lie shot, which is super easy and what he said is sufficient. Into the grain Bermuda is completely different animal and he did not even touch that topic.
You reckon you know better than him big boy? Let’s hear it.
You should make your own video explaining how you play such a shot.
I think he was into based on the divot but clipped it off nice. 8i is the play. Into the grain Bermuda on a tight lie is tricky. Especially to a close pin. Way to easy to grab and just move the ball a foot. Crazy.
