Dans Summer Release!

Well, another year of Major’s have gone by! The Open Championship was enthralling with the weather playing a big part. The Saturday, with the cold wind and rain made the course play so difficult with the ball not travelling far. Players were having to use 3 woods on Par-3’s and some couldn’t reach the fairway on Par-4’s! I often find amateur golfers do not appreciate how much conditions do dictate how the ball behaves and how much distance playing in cold, damp weather does take off.

Equally in short game, I often get asked how do you play that low spinning shot that checks up by the hole! I’m not sure this shot will actually help you shoot lower scores but it does look good! However, any grass or moisture between blade and ball will always reduce spin, the lie, the moisture and the wind should always be the first things you look at before selecting the club and shot to play. I can’t emphasise how important this Golf IQ side of things is and why I am doing all I can to raise the level of thinking of all golfers.

Talking of Golf IQ, I filmed a short game video with Ian Poulter recently, which is now out on my YouTube channel. Speaking with Ian, who has been one of the best players in the world for so long, just shows how incredibly intelligent these top players are around the greens. He discusses so much about the lie, playing from different grass types and how it affects the bounce and run out. I think you will take a lot from this video both from a technical and mental standpoint.

Finally, as the weather is warming up and the courses are getting firmer and faster, shot and club choice around the greens becomes more important.

When the greens are soft and slow, less loft and more ball speed is important. When they get quicker, consider using more loft and playing a Release-1 with that club. You will notice more check on the ball with the 1st and 2nd bounce before the ball softly runs out.

Enjoy your golf, best, Dan
