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 KZfaq 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:

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

Your approach to teaching golf is miles ahead of anyone else I have seen on KZfaq. For those of us who don't have tons of free time but can grab a club and work on the muscle memory side of things at 10pm when the kids are in bed this is invaluable. I recommend you to everyone I talk golf with. Keep up the amazing content!

Danny, I hope you'll remember me - I got a lesson from you a while back. I've gotta say, this is the absolute best video I've ever seen as to how the golf swing works, and the differences between driver and every other club. This video eliminates "tips", and illustrates the principles you need to get right for the golf swing to work. It brought a massive "Aha" moment for me. I watched it 3 times already this morning, and I want to make this the base of my game, starting with the set-up, through the swing - I'll work to make this my "mindset" as I come into each shot. I will work on the drill over the winter to insure I come out smokin' in the spring!

Another great lesson Danny. Seen you with the 3 clubs and immediately thought it looked a lot like my Epic Max Driver and Mavrik Max hybrids. Still struggling with the driver but I’ve always treated the 3 wood and hybrids like my irons. I play mine a few inches forward of center and make sure my weight is forward and hitting down at the ball.

Have to say Danny, been a fan of yours for a few years now but this little drill reqlly helped my swing. Took it to the range and just concentrated on drawing the circle. Irons,.hybrid and 3 wood all so much better but the biggest change was driver. Ive been struggling for ages with slices, hooks every shape you can think of. Just concentrated on set up then drawing the circle, absolutely smashing driver diwn the middle of the range, best I've hit the ball in ages, absolute genius and the only warm up and swing thought i need now.... hopefully 😂👍👍

Brilliant Danny. The crucial point here actually is the crushing of the circle. I have massively improved my ball striking by keeping the radius of my swing circle constant throughout the whole motion. Again, watching and listening to your coaching, one can actually hear the clicks in one's head when you've finally got it. Bye now, gotto go practice immediately what you just taught.

Great informative ideas for the golf swing and the illustrated details.These are the most important clubs to help seniors to reach long par 4/5 I myself use these and when you hit them well it does help the score card interesting points is move the low point ahead of the ball to strike ball first does this mean the release point is after the ball ,as versus the driver low point is behind the ball .Also any changes for using hybrid and fairway wood from the tee.As always great coaching from the people’s coach beer up mister .🍻

Just wanted to leave this comment. Last time I played I watched your driver video with a student. I changed my swing to try and create the imaginary circle like this video also shows. I was absolutely belting my driver down the fairway-- like I have never been able to do before. My targeting was not the best but it felt good and something that I could improve on. I have watched a lot of videos on how to hit the clubs and your instruction helped me improve the most to date. Thanks Danny. It made my round a lot of fun.

Early this season I was having such a bad time with the woods, that I took them out of the bag and just hit hybrids and irons. I then found myself off the fairway left and I had to hit a low trajectory shot to avoid tree branches, so I had the ball back in my stance and hit my 4 hybrid, the least lofted option I had. But what happened really surprised me, the ball jumped into the air better than ever before! It barely avoided the branches, but it did show me that my problem was largely due to having the ball too far forward in my stance. I was able to reintroduce my 7 wood and next season I am hoping to bring the 5 back too, using this very technique! If only it were as easy as Danny makes it look!

I’m a senior golfer (70 years) so hopefully not too bad stats wise. Thanks Danny, will keep trying to improve.

LOL I am possessed with anticipation to go try this drill out RIGHT NOW! It seems so logical that I have to try it. Unfortunately, I had a surgeon do a bit of cutting on me last Monday, so I have to wait until next Friday before they''ll even let me pick up a club, let alone swing one. Seriously, the "draw with a pen" drill finally explains the physics behind the operation of the trail arm in the back swing and moves it from an attempt to copy a "good" swing to a blueprint for getting the arms and club in the correct plane to execute the down swing. Can't wait to try this (but of course, I have to wait until the doctor turns me loose).
