Product Information

It progresses onto topics such as playing from awkward lies, understanding your equipment’s capabilities, and how to practice with intention - thereby increasing golfers’ rate of improvement.

I literally had two 10 minute slots on it with the pro and then my son spotting my fault in execution on the course and now I chip better than a lot of good category 1 golfers. Once you get the hang of it, the chipping game becomes great fun and what these guys teach is much more the way to go.

Besides coaching amateur golfers from far and wide on a one-to-one basis, Dan has helped Tour Players to dozens of wins - including Georgia Hall’s victory at the 2018 Women’s Open Championship. By reading “3 Releases: The Short Game System,” you’ll learn about the three key shots you need around the green – the low-running chip shot, the soft-landing spin shot, and the lob shot. Grieve details the set-up and swing fundamentals needed to execute each shot, along with other specialist shots to add to your repertoire, such as bunker play and pitching. Regarding the "finesse" game (40 yards and in) I really like his concept of breaking down these shots into chip and run, soft landing and flop shots. In 2022 I suffered from "Lob Wedge Addiction" using my 58* wedge 43% of the time (average proximity and up/down 20' and 24%, respectively) whereas it turned out that I was much more effective with a chipper, putter or hybrid in terms of proximity and up/down %. Accordingly, my finesse game for 2023 will be primarily reliant on the chip and run (with various irons as I no longer carry the chipper) and secondarily the soft-landing shot. At this point, I do not plan to spend much time on the flop shot and when I do, it will be using my SW before my LW. As @sjn1 notes, Grieve clearly thinks that the LW is over-used by Ams and states in the book that it should come with the warning "for emergency use only"

Overall, “3 Releases: The Short Game System” is a game-changing book for any golfer looking to improve their short game and overall golf skills. With step-by-step instructions, practical techniques, and a focus on mindset, this book is sure to help you lower your scores and achieve your golfing goals. A: Yes, the book comes with access to online resources, including instructional videos and additional practice drills. Knowing I can get up and down for par or at worse save a bogie takes the pressure of approach shots which then takes the pressure of the tee. I’ve never enjoyed the short game so much. I will say, the longer I watch his stuff on social there are a LOT of specialty shots / variations that are not covered in the book (rightly so). I'm not good enough to worry about that, but a bit eye opening. Also, perhaps it depends on the courses you play somewhat but I find that more often than not, I appreciate having that extra loft.
