3 Releases: The Short Game System: Transform Your Technique & Thinking

This book is an absolute short game, game changer. After having a decent short game for years I suddenly developed short game yips and it nearly ruined golf for me. The techniques and mindsets in this book were an absolute cure. Here's why: -Each shot is explained in detail, but with simple and easy to understand terms; non-technical. -When and why to use each shot is explained in addition to the "how," opening many more options up around the green. -Dan does an amazing job of connoting "feel" for the shots and movements and offers many helpful tips to obtain that feel...something very hard to do in print. For instance, I was struggling with my swing being disconnected from my body...all arms and hands. The thought of "pushing through the left shoulder" to start the backswing immediately improved chest rotation. -Each chapter ends with a short list of the important components of the shot coupled with photos making it VERY easy to take with you to the range or course. I added the checklists as notes on my phone for reference while practicing and it's magical. I recommend this book for ANYONE who golfs...from beginner to plus handicap. And if you want visuals, check out his instrgram feed. Thank you Dan!

I enjoyed all chapters. Before purchase, I had watched many short game videos from Mr. Grieve. Almost felt I should repay him with the book purchase. He was a joy to listen to and learn from the videos and he duplicated this in the book chapters. He is number one a fantastic teacher. I'm not aware of anyone better at teaching the short game. He can hit any shot and I now believe as he states there is no such thing as a bad lie.

Dan is an exceptional communicator, and owning the book is like having a series of expensive private lessons at your fingertips, for the small price of a paperback! My short game has improved dramatically with Dan’s instruction, and yours can too. There is so much great content, in so much detail, that the book will likely become a reference guide you will want to return to again and again.

This is the greatest book I have ever read on the short game. It gives you easy to follow instruction on 3 different releases for almost any situation. This book coupled with his you tube videos, will definitely improve your short game.

I’m a big fan of Dan Grieve and his three releases. I discovered his YouTube videos, which are both instructional and entertaining. I love the guests he features and the way he explains his thought processes on the course. After hearing him mention his book a couple of times, I just had to order it. He’s incredibly clear, and what he shares completely transformed my short game. It went from fair to okay with the occasional flub, and now it’s actually quite good and play with more confidence. I shaved several strokes off my handicap, dropping from a 12 to an 8.5 index almost instantly! Nothing I have ever done (lessons etc) has shaved more stokes in a shorter time than this approach) I hope to meet him someday to thank him personally. I’d love to take a lesson from him, but with an ocean between us, that seems unlikely. Between his book and online videos, he has the power to truly change your short game golfing life. The key to his approach is the setup. You may not be able to swing like Rory or Bryson, but you can certainly set up to the ball as well as they do for a chip shot, and that’s 90% of it in my opinion. Nail your short game setup, and you’ll improve—he shows you how. If you have the right setup, even with a rare miss hit it still gets pretty close. To be honest, this knowledge has earned me far more money in skins games than the book cost, so it essentially paid for itself many times over. I am not a coach, but I had my wife follow his set up for short game and it produced a lot of smiles. Buy this book and watch his videos. This guy is the real deal. Thanks, Dan!

This book was very good. It covered all of the technical elements needed to have a very good short game. It included how to play bunker shots, chipping, pitching, how to practice etc. etc. My one criticism would be that it doesn't really cover confidence. When I play with golfers you can see a lack of confidence before the shot that affects the outcome. I can understand that improved technique will help with confidence but it helps to have some confidence in the first place. Apart from that, this is a good book on the short game.

I couldn’t get out of a trap to save my life. Dan popped up in my insta feed. That sent me here for the book. This is a solid system, well explained - easy to understand and execute. I have a decent bunker game now and consistently gain strokes around the greens.

Great instruction in the short game by a World Renowned instructor. Excellent detailed explanation of 3 different methodology’s for your shortgame. Best I have seen in over 50plus years.

Love the book. Dan is the best short game teacher in the world.

Daniel Grieve is a top PGA Golf Coach and i watch alot of his videos on Youtube. I decided to buy his book "The Three Releases" talking in detail about the short game. It is very detailed,easy to read and with some great illustrations. Highly recommend this book to give structure to everyones short game.🤗👍

I had a lot of inconsistencies with my short game, especially my pitching technique. Dan's system provides a great framework to avoid guessing and instead focus on making a repeatable swing every time. I bought the book to improve my game around the green, but I ended up with a complete short game system I can replicate. Now I know exactly what to practice to build consistency from 90 yards and in.

Easy to read and understand, with illustrations to enhance the learning.

Gamechanging!
