In the last 3 months I've gone from a 21 handicap to a 13 simply by following this young man's advice. It took 65 years for me to find this wisdom from someone much younger than me. Another life lesson. Excellent.
Sidekick you have a very unique place in the TH-cam ecosystem, everyone else is copying each other with scrambles, spin the wheel, break series etc. but you are on a lone crusade to help people really understand what it takes to play the game well and in a very entertaining way. Much appreciated.
Matty you are the high handicap whisperer! I started golf 6 months ago and went from a 24 handicap to a 14 handicap in the last 3 months from seeing a coach, watching as many of your videos as I can find and practicing as much possible! Shooting 81-86 consistently now and loving golf!!! Keep up the good work brother!!! God bless
@@MilkismybeverageI feel you with the driver! Some days it’s an absolute weapon and other days it’s the bane of my existence. I’ve got an old 7 wood that’s 200 yards with a push draw no matter how bad I’m striking the ball that day! Yep we definitely are on the same track! Keep it up and I’ll see you at scratch!
@@nathanialcollier1784 @Milkismybeverage - can I recommend to you both the Mini Driver. I purchased the taylormade BRNR. I find so many more fairways. And it still generates Power. Get fit though. Try different shafts with it
I'm thinking about the mini driver too. I'm looking at the Callaway model because I play an epic max driver. Like the other posters in this thread I like to use a high lofted fairway wood too. I had a 3w that never outperformed my 5w off the deck and wasn't any more accurate off the tee than the driver. I took Matt's advice and took a lesson vs just figuring it out myself. The instructor said I didn't have the swing speed to make 3w work. He ran the numbers with me and figured out I hit 3w 2/10 times well (215 yds average). I hit 5w 8/10 times well (200 average). I.e. 430yds vs 1600yds. He explained a lot of amateurs dont hit 3w well and dont see accuracy advantages either. I took Matt's advice again and just pulled it out of the bag because it was a major distraction. I'm thinking about filling the spot in the bag with the mini driver, or a 7w.
Started watching the Brofessor 4 years ago during Covid when I got into golf and was trying to break 100. Have shot 73 three times this year all thanks to practice and playing true to this man’s style
At this point, I am not even thinking about golf. "After you solve this problem, there is a myriad of problems waiting." This, this is life, it is what makes life so difficult but amazing at the same time. We are constantly solving another problem. It's only when we don't have another problem to solve that we find ourselves bored. Maybe this is why golf is the perfect masochistic sport.
This is the best TH-cam video I have ever watched! Not just golf......life. Golf and life. I'm going to watch this every single day. Thank you so much!
Needed this video today playa! Yesterday, I went for a quick 9 holes and took the gf, I was tired and fatigued for a number of reasons and found my decision making was off - but mainly I was feeling uncharacteristically frustrated at my bad shots. My gf helps me reframe in those times, she watches your videos along with me - she’s my Golfsidekick-sidekick!
Dr. Matt. I have included some of your under 90 tips in my game. On top I put on my beautiful Waddaplayer shirt. All together with sunny weather , little wind and a fantastic mood I was able to achieve a great result. I was so relieved and thanked you in my mind. Please keep cracking and support the Waddaplayer community with your wise words. Honestly, your tips are worth pure money. Regards from Germany. AL
10 weeks since I picked up the 7i in my first coaching lesson + watching golfsidekick, I broke 100; Shot 98 today. Swing coaching lessons, toe down chipping drills, pitching and putting drills, but especially the mental game;.....very easy day today. Waddacoach, Waddamentor. Thank you sir. Be well.
Using your break 90 tips, I shot my lowest round of the year last weekend and it maybe could have been my lowest round ever if the skies hadn't opened up and poured torrential rain on the last two holes (I ended up 3 putting on both of those holes because the greens were soaked and I realized I never learned or practiced putting in the wet). I focused on hitting to my shot shape and exploited the clubs I hit the best (for me, my 8 iron and 52 degree). I did the math at every tee box to figure out how to get within 150 (for my 8 iron) or 80-100 (for my 52) for my 'free throw'. This opened up loads more opportunities to putt for birdie or two putt for par/bogey. Turns out I only needed to hit driver 2 or 3 times the entire round and I probably could have left it in the bag for the entire round. Nearly broke 85 for the first time and while I made a few mistakes and mishits here and there, I still had a blast and shot the lowest score that day from our friend group (except from the scratch golfer in our midst with that shot a 74 lol). Thanks a ton for your content and your advice! It's so hard to find a good youtube personality who has both expertise and relatability. That goes a long way for my golfing IQ and I'm grateful your content isn't just strictly peddling overly-abstracted, technical swing advice that typically doesn't apply to the average golfer.
Definitely needed to hear this. I’m about a year in to golf and love it, but after listening to this I’m pretty confident I’ll benefit most from working on this over any other aspect of the game.
Congrats on creating a perfect blend of Marriott/Nilsson, Rotella and Watzlawick. And thanks for reminding me of things I used to know but somehow forgot due to losing awareness.
This was either the best or the worst video of yours to smoke weed before hand. I'm still figuring that out. Your point about how who you are off the course affects how you play golf; rather, who you are as a person is who you are as a golfer. For me, I am patient, but I get angry in my everyday life at small things. It's something I've tried to actively work on for the past couple of years, and when I started watching you, you made a similar point to this on youtube or it was when you were on the podcast "The Off Brand Golf Show". Even though I had worked on being less angry/frustrated at things, and made progress at it, the golf course brought it back full force. After one particularly bad round, I was so angry I never wanted to play golf again. I beleive a couple days later I stumbled on one of your videos for the first time, and it really opened my eyes. I rememeber I shot the best score of my life just days after watching your videos. I try every round to occupy Zen mode, be fully conscious, and to not get angry at anything. Which leads to my favorite line of this video, is that you can't get mad like you're a PGA pro because you don't practice like one, you don't practice 5 hours a day. As you say, "you don't deserve to even be that angry". If I top a ball after drinking two beers and practicing zero, I can't really be that angry huh? It happens. Funny enough, I always hit my best shots after a bad shot. I can't tell you how many times I've topped the ball on my tee shot to 50 yards, and I pull out the 3 iron and crank it 230-240 yards. It's turned into my best club lol. But I am so mindful and fully in the moment when I pull out that 3 iron. I think this feeling is why I always have a good shot after a bad one. Thanks for making us all better golfers but even more so making us better people while you're at it. What a playa.
Bruh. You spoke at 7 minutes in. I started my journey in golf in July. 2 months in, I've broke 100 once already. You are HIM. Only channel I watch on TH-cam. You are the goat of controlling your own mind. Thanks playa. 💥
Was excited to travel and play at a really nice course this week. I had been looking forward to this for months! So Io and behold if i didn't have the best warmup session of my life, then proceed to absolutely embarrassed myself on the first tee. I legitimately looked like I'd never played before! But i remembered all the previous Matty videos about the pre shot routine, releasing the previous shot from your mind, and envisioning your shot. I still played the worst round in recent memory, but i BATTLED the entire time and had a blast! I feel much better about that round than any of my easy and smooth rounds.
I have been watching your channel because I'm learning to play golf (at 62 after sort of playing for a while) and your approach has helped me understand and improve my game. Today, I heard the metaphor more than the instruction and really needed it. I've got some work to do. Thanks for your help
Thanks Matti Boom-Boom! The bit about practice on the sim not transferring to the course really resonated with me. I realized my pre shot on the sim vs on the course is wildly different. Thanks for the homework!
Great video. Thank you. I am with you. Trying to work on my personal messy life. Papers on the kitchen counter. Work area can be cleaner etc. etc. You just pushed me to clean sh*t up and bring a clear mind to the golf course. You da baus!
These are great tips, my pre shot routine was shabby to non existent. I will work hard at getting something comfortable in my pre shot set up, and try to work harder on my mental game. This was great food for the mind!! THANKS!
Appreciate the YYYY how concept Matt. I learned that in school but I bet a lot of people do not understand that this is the way to solve a problem and come up with a solution. Enjoy your channel Matt keep up the good work!
The 28yrs I spent in the Army impressed upon me that I was getting paid to find solutions. That is a gem you shared there. You convinced me to use the range finder. Wow. Yes, I have a good eye for distances, however, the accuracy of the range finder? It has tightened up my "known" average distances in practice. I shoot the distance I want to hit, pick the right club while playing, and there we go. From another video, you convinced me to enjoy the game more by going ahead and play the old man tees! That was a big pill to swallow. The pride inside can be a killer. No longer. I cannot smack the long ball any longer. I now own it, play the old man tees, and I am so much more relaxed and happier. Thanks, my friend. I am back down to a new 16 handicap and have not been there in a LONG time. My goal is to bring it down some more.
Just got back from a terrible round and found out about your channel after googling "I'm getting worse at golf". This video just kind of snapped me out of a lot of negative shit on the course and in life. Going to try my best to keep the attitude you're talking about in the video and incorporate it into my life and game. Great video, thanks a lot.
Last year I placed 27 of 38 in my league's presidents cup. This year I'm currently 2 of 40 and only 4.5 points behind first (I missed a game due to travel for work, I had to go to Hawaii and it was horrible ;) I'm hitting better and smarter than ever and I can already see myself holding the trophy this year. I will take it. Thanks Matt!
Best videos I've seen by a guy in a rooster shirt! Excellent way of thinking Brofessor!! Your golf game absolutely mirrors ur life😊 It took a lot of time n practice n focus... using so many of your mental tips! Now when I play if I hit 80yrd duff drive...laugh😂... pull out 7wood...gd thots on green 2 putt par...easy game!
I always think low and slow in the backswing. That one works every time. And he's right about the putting, I putt really well because I can see in my minds eye the ball going into the hole on the right line at the right speed. And l practice a lot.
Thank you, golf is alot more enjoyable to get in a zone of opportunity. I have watched this video and others that you have produced. It has helped my game immensely. More fun to play now. IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED PROFESSOR MATT OF GOLF! That is a compliment that is well deserved for all your hard work. Have a very Blessed Day,
100 percent 30 percent of the time. All joking aside your videos are absolutely top notch. Your latest putting video totally, I mean totally changed my short game into the beastest mode of my gamr. You have reshaped my game and given me the knowledge that I will be breaking 90 anyday soon. My quiver has all the arrows I need already.
It's so nice seeing Dr. Bob Rotella's philosophies being reshaped and taught to the younger generation. Every golfer from brand new to tour pro could benefit from it. Keep on keepin' on Matty!
That range finder is the key to shooting better. Knowing how far to the pin gives you the confidence to swing the club. I'm nailing the green 150 yards out. Now just need to get closer to the pin and improve my putting. And my driving swing tends to fall off by the 5th hole because my body gets into an iron swing. But I'll get there. I got the potential to get under 90 by the end of the season here in Chicago. But if I don't, I'll be in a good position to get there next year. I entered a trackman league for the winter to keep a bit fresh. Cheers
@@Doggepe yeah. My drive was to blame. I just shot an 84 today. Would have gone lower if I took the lesser yardage with my 5 iron than trying to hero shot it with a 3 hybrid.
Thank you Dr. Boom Boom. I love golf because like life and business it’s one challenge after another. One problem to be solved after another. Only people in cemeteries don’t have problems. Keep up the great work and maybe do a rendition of Viva La Vida. PS - What did the daddy tomato say to the slow child tomato? Ketchup!!
5th round of golf in the last 3 months. Never properly payed before. 106 with 2x 4putts and 2lost balls. I have my favourite clubs 3 or 4clubs. Consistent 150+yard club. Putting is what it's letting me down, but I can feel the system working! Before season is over I'll be sub 99
Great video as normal, im less of a quick study but your videos have taken me from from breaking 100 to trying to break 80, while my friends are still trying to break 100! They say its because I practice more, but I keep telling them its because I listen more lol. That said do you aways wear the FOOD hat before or after the POO'D hat?? or are they status hats?
Sometimes because i don’t have the camera there so the routine is very rushed. I’d need to play extended periods without the camera to develop apre shot routine again
"Going on a mental vacation" I like that phrase lol Slowing down your mind in between a bad shot and walking to the next shot is a great routine I suggest everyone does.
Good tip about the think and play box! I’m thinking too much just before hitting the ball. Do you still recommend a practice swing then? Because that might also make u think again..
Hi Matty. Can i ask you, what is a bad round of golf for you? For me it's when i begin to get indout og my sving, and i try to fix it on the course. Otherwise all rounds are god, if i make 28 points or 42.....ofcourse i'm a bit more happy if its 42 ;-)
Bad round is when i am tired. A bad round is when i dont want to play. A bad round is when i think about something in the swing. It’s hard to do but its best to avoid thinking about a swing mechanic.
I've fully incorporated the Matty Boom Boom school of thought into my golf game. My issue is I haven't hit enough balls yet. I still don't have a stock shot or stock shot shape or a club I'm fully confidential with every single swing of that club. Right now I'm sitting around 35% of the time the ball hooks. 35% it slices. 15% of the time it goes straight. Then 15% it's a thin or fat. So when I golf I try to pick a straight line with enough space to accommodate my ball if it goes left or right or straight. Currently sitting at a 32 handicap. I need more reps. I have to hit more balls. I haven't hit enough balls yet to golf better.
Just keep playing knowing with time you will get better. Enjoy the process. It takes reps to develop muscle memory. In no time you will be breaking 100 every round. Then the sky is the limit!
@@jeremyharris5176 have to start practicing more. They're opening indoor trakman powered sim businesses across our city so I'll have to go multiply times a week during the winter. Get ready for next spring
"when you hit the ball it's the accumulation of everything you've done up to that point" Can't remember where I heard or read that but I thought that was the most profound statement.
@@GolfSidekick ha! This mythical Scottish pro/philosopher from a book called Golf in the Kingdom. Amazing work you are doing!!! I really can’t thank you enough. Totally changed my game. Shot 78 today (7 stroke PR), couldn’t break 90 a year ago.

Props to you for being able to take and implement advice from someone regardless of their age relative to you. Real sign of maturity.
Sidekick you have a very unique place in the TH-cam ecosystem, everyone else is copying each other with scrambles, spin the wheel, break series etc. but you are on a lone crusade to help people really understand what it takes to play the game well and in a very entertaining way. Much appreciated.
Correct sir. Its because they’re boring golfers first and creatives second.

@@nathanialcollier1784 @Milkismybeverage - can I recommend to you both the Mini Driver. I purchased the taylormade BRNR. I find so many more fairways. And it still generates Power. Get fit though. Try different shafts with it

2 sec into the vid and the GOOD diss cap is hilarious lol😂
90% of the game is half mental
Yogi Berra said it's 90% mental, and the rest is in your head.
Hahah😂
60% of the time it works everytime
100% of golf is 100% mental 100% of the time!
So 45%?
Love the idea of imprinting a good shot visualization over the actual bad shot. I probably need to practice this on the range too.
Congrats on creating a perfect blend of Marriott/Nilsson, Rotella and Watzlawick. And thanks for reminding me of things I used to know but somehow forgot due to losing awareness.
Thanks Matty …words of wisdom. I've dropped down to a single digit handicap following your advice. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦. MikeR.

It might be a delusion saying you're the best putter in the world, but you are the best putter on TH-cam.
It’s not delusional. It’s confidential.
This has been the year of expectations meeting practice for me... still not breaking 40... but the plan is working.. Thank you Baus....

I always think low and slow in the backswing. That one works every time. And he's right about the putting, I putt really well because I can see in my minds eye the ball going into the hole on the right line at the right speed. And l practice a lot.
Wow, for me, this is one of your best video’s! Thank you very much!
Thank you, golf is alot more enjoyable to get in a zone of opportunity. I have watched this video and others that you have produced. It has helped my game immensely. More fun to play now. IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED PROFESSOR MATT OF GOLF! That is a compliment that is well deserved for all your hard work. Have a very Blessed Day,
You are my favourite you tube helper I've learner many things from you and am putting them in to practise 💪
Golf sidekick the Daily Lama of golf. Great work your lordship
Matty Boom Boom! The BOAT of the mental golf game. Love you brother. Still waiting for the next sweepstakes. 😉
Possibly Matt’s best video yet
My son doesn’t even play golf and I’m still going to recommend this video to him. Good work!!
Laughing right to the end. Great stuff. You are the Rory McAvoy of TH-cam.
100 percent 30 percent of the time. All joking aside your videos are absolutely top notch. Your latest putting video totally, I mean totally changed my short game into the beastest mode of my gamr. You have reshaped my game and given me the knowledge that I will be breaking 90 anyday soon. My quiver has all the arrows I need already.
It's so nice seeing Dr. Bob Rotella's philosophies being reshaped and taught to the younger generation. Every golfer from brand new to tour pro could benefit from it. Keep on keepin' on Matty!
That range finder is the key to shooting better. Knowing how far to the pin gives you the confidence to swing the club. I'm nailing the green 150 yards out. Now just need to get closer to the pin and improve my putting. And my driving swing tends to fall off by the 5th hole because my body gets into an iron swing. But I'll get there. I got the potential to get under 90 by the end of the season here in Chicago. But if I don't, I'll be in a good position to get there next year. I entered a trackman league for the winter to keep a bit fresh. Cheers
If you are nailing the green from 150 and in and not breaking 90 you have other things to work on than getting closer to the pin from 150
@@Doggepe yeah. My drive was to blame. I just shot an 84 today. Would have gone lower if I took the lesser yardage with my 5 iron than trying to hero shot it with a 3 hybrid.
Mr. Boomboom, you're a great speaker and a deep thinker.
Thank you Dr. Boom Boom. I love golf because like life and business it’s one challenge after another. One problem to be solved after another. Only people in cemeteries don’t have problems.
Keep up the great work and maybe do a rendition of Viva La Vida.
PS - What did the daddy tomato say to the slow child tomato? Ketchup!!
Great golf / life advice
Yay fresh sacred lecture content🎉 thank you sensai of golf ❤
Great points, keeping it real! Thanks Matt, awesome.
“Align your expectations with your preparations” 🔥 🔥 🔥
I know what you meant …..”align” 👍🏻💪🏻✌🏻
Absolutely golden instruction!
5th round of golf in the last 3 months. Never properly payed before.
106 with 2x 4putts and 2lost balls.
I have my favourite clubs 3 or 4clubs. Consistent 150+yard club. Putting is what it's letting me down, but I can feel the system working! Before season is over I'll be sub 99
Great wisdom shared to improve confidentiality
"Im not good enough to be this angry" that will stick with me from now on ha, love it. Great video 👌
I don’t like that saying. I think it’s inaccurate.
You’re not entitled to be this frustrated
BAUS!! This man has changed my life…way of the playa.
Banger video. Protect this man at all costs
Great video as normal, im less of a quick study but your videos have taken me from from breaking 100 to trying to break 80, while my friends are still trying to break 100! They say its because I practice more, but I keep telling them its because I listen more lol.
That said do you aways wear the FOOD hat before or after the POO'D hat?? or are they status hats?
Delusions work. I believe I can fly! Brilliant bits there
500 videos coming up Matty!
Matty, this was a great video. A++
I needed this. Also, do you find that your routines are thrown off when you start feeling competitive pressure?
Sometimes because i don’t have the camera there so the routine is very rushed. I’d need to play extended periods without the camera to develop apre shot routine again
Winner of a video
"Going on a mental vacation" I like that phrase lol Slowing down your mind in between a bad shot and walking to the next shot is a great routine I suggest everyone does.
Good tip about the think and play box! I’m thinking too much just before hitting the ball.
Do you still recommend a practice swing then? Because that might also make u think again..
If practice swing helps you, use it. If it makes you play worse, bin it
Love that you’re mocking good with that hat.
Is this a golf lesson or a life lesson...either way I love it!
Love these videos
Which irons do you play? What degrees are your wedges?
You are a low key genius.
Prolly the best Matty Boom Boom video I have watched over the years. I dare one of you Fat Shamers to disagree wit’ me.
Love it. Will Teaski be making an appearance?
“I’m a duffer; I’m a fluffer” 😂😂😂
Very nice video.
Hi Matty. Can i ask you, what is a bad round of golf for you? For me it's when i begin to get indout og my sving, and i try to fix it on the course. Otherwise all rounds are god, if i make 28 points or 42.....ofcourse i'm a bit more happy if its 42 ;-)
Bad round is when i am tired. A bad round is when i dont want to play. A bad round is when i think about something in the swing.
It’s hard to do but its best to avoid thinking about a swing mechanic.
Matt - How would you approach being confidential with a 3 hybrid versus not confidential with a driver (18 handicap)?
Hit the 3 hybrid
Work on driver with a pro
I've fully incorporated the Matty Boom Boom school of thought into my golf game. My issue is I haven't hit enough balls yet. I still don't have a stock shot or stock shot shape or a club I'm fully confidential with every single swing of that club. Right now I'm sitting around 35% of the time the ball hooks. 35% it slices. 15% of the time it goes straight. Then 15% it's a thin or fat. So when I golf I try to pick a straight line with enough space to accommodate my ball if it goes left or right or straight. Currently sitting at a 32 handicap. I need more reps. I have to hit more balls. I haven't hit enough balls yet to golf better.
Just keep playing knowing with time you will get better. Enjoy the process. It takes reps to develop muscle memory. In no time you will be breaking 100 every round. Then the sky is the limit!
@@jeremyharris5176 have to start practicing more. They're opening indoor trakman powered sim businesses across our city so I'll have to go multiply times a week during the winter. Get ready for next spring
Look like you could use a Hawaii golf trip brother! 🤙🏾😎
Strong mental!
What’s that support device on ur wrist? Is it to support TFCC injury?
Yeah hurt myself in the gym in December 2023. Only feeling really much better now in September
"when you hit the ball it's the accumulation of everything you've done up to that point"
Can't remember where I heard or read that but I thought that was the most profound statement.
I only drive well when I think hard. I think “low, get inside, hit up”. Is that ok ? Does it count as tempo or too much?
Bro! Are you Shivas Irons? I’ve watched this video like 5 times. Just life wrapped in golf. 👏
whats shivas irons playa?
@@GolfSidekick ha! This mythical Scottish pro/philosopher from a book called Golf in the Kingdom.
Amazing work you are doing!!! I really can’t thank you enough. Totally changed my game. Shot 78 today (7 stroke PR), couldn’t break 90 a year ago.
Where's your bucket hat Matty!!!!
