I joined the golf team from my school about 3 months ago, not knowing anything about golf. I was really really bad, I started watching your videos and started to improve so much, I can finally hit my driver almost 200 yards when I couldn’t even hit it 2 months ago. My coach just invited me to a varsity tournament earlier this week, and I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you for everything!
Danny, My son just graduated university and asked me to teach him the game of golf; my heart leapt with excitement. Then I realized the challenge before us. Your body of instruction videos along with the content on your website are invaluable to us duffers of all ages. This specific video may be the pinnacle of your teachings for which I am grateful to have as a tool to share in building a love for the game with my son. Thank you more than I can say. Hey Presto BP
The video Danny recommends at the end of this one is really worth a look. Ive just rewatched it and it's had nearly 2 million views. Great for balance.
Great stuff. I used similar process for my range practice this year. Gained crazy distance and impact. When I struggle now I slow down and really try to chip 150 yards. It's really the same as practicing chipping but using my lower body. Its amazing to see my 9iron which used to go 115-130 now go 150-170. Now this was helped with gym work as well. Late in the fall I played a hole where I used to use my 6-7 iron last year and sometimes 5iron. I decided to use my 9iron go to front of green. My 9iron rolled out to 170 and it carried the bunkers and hit green. To carry bunkers is 160 :) can't wait to next year to continue this journey.
Love your videos, one thing that completely changed my swing was realizing a controlled swing goes further and straighter than trying to smash it. It’s hard to see the distance needed and not want to try to crush it, but knowing it’s not necessary has been a game changer.
It's always great to see and hear you have the humility and maturity to give those who inspire you credit for the content you make, Danny. Sadly, I've had younger learners claim my ideas as their own in my industry, and I see this all of the time on social media with younger golf players making content. As a role model, you should be an inspiration to them, too! Brilliant content as always!
A really great video Danny, as a senior golfer coming to the game later in life, currently playing off 25; the idea of good solid, straight, consistent strikes of 150 yards will get me round sub-100 every time. That for me is where I want to be at the moment, then gradually build on that. Always excellent content and advice Danny
Love the content! I have a 9 year old that is loving Golf at the moment, it would be nice to see a video of how to improve junior golfer from ground up, drills, what to focus on etc.
There is no difference in the basics, what ever age. Find sound routines, stick with what works and for Pete’s sake, stop watching a bunch of golf experts, it only add to confusion. Good luck to your 9 year old. And one more thing, help making it fun to play golf, it’s a game for a lifetime.
Brilliant! It's so simple. I will take this out to the range, work on it a bit, and no doubt this will help take a few more strokes off the already 32 that Sir Danny has helped me take off. Keep it simple and have fun is a great approach. Thanks DM.
Wow Danny! What a nice lesson. I have been playing to a 9 handicap from the senior tees. For the last 3 months I have been inconsistent playing +5 more strokes. Swinging too hard. Lack of confidence. I have wanted to reconstruct my swing to get more consistency. I am going to take this lesson to the range and work on getting my swing under control to get better contact. Once I get more comfortable with my contact and distance I will increase my swing speed with more control. Thank you for the great lesson.
Great video today. Can you devote a video to indoor winter drills to get ready for Spring. Golf is pretty much shut down here in Canada and I have moved my net indoors. Need to work on basics. Many Thanks.
I miss Peter Kostis and his golf lessons and commentary. Have you seen his older brilliant swing book, THE INSIDE PATH TO BETTER GOLF. He demonstrates most of the principles you are covering here. A very positive return to the "old school" fundamental golf swing that you advocate. Check it out and love your lessons.
Great work, Danny. You’d make a great pitcher! In Pillar 3 are you using a long iron for such a forward ball position? I thought with a 7 iron, ball goes in middle of stance. You’re kind how you are happy to promote fellow coaches. We’ll never leave you, that’s for sure! Perhaps you can check out Adam Young’s differential practice drills which build skill. They add a new dimension to learning and are fun. Thanks as ever, Danny.
Pillar 3 drill is interesting. I usually do the opposite drill, move the ball far forward, in order to get my body shifting forward well. Do you think these drills would be good in tandem?

Thanks Danny. Where to start with those six pillars! Will start with the grip and move on from there! Thanks again.
Get the ball drawing first and go from there
Brilliant indeed. Can't wait to spend the morning practice on just the Six Pillars. Cheers mate
All the best Mark

Drills are for all ages?

Brilliant reminder - pillar 3 - of what you so generously showed me on one of your range sweeps a few months back. It really worked for me ! 🙏

Amazing video Danny!! You are the best!! Shoutout from Atlanta, Georgia...
Love it. Consistently great content here. Thanks much.
You are very welcome Greg
Good video. Unfortunately, my season is over. Indoor swings are all i can do. Bummer.

Would you play a round with narrow stance on driver Danny
I often start like that if I haven’t warmed up just to get my body and arms more in time
@ best coach on you tube 👍
Hi
Hello
Best coach ever... let's freaking go 🏌️
