![The BIGGEST Mistake Amateur Golfers Make... [SILVERROCK GOLF COURSE]](/img/n.gif)
I think my takeaway is that you were driving pretty well in this round, so the "aggressive" play was just getting you a couple clubs closer; but for those of us with much higher handicaps, the misses will be much bigger, so when it comes to risk vs reward, there could be much higher risk in hitting driver or going for hero-shots. As I continue to try to bring my handicap down, I know the difference in my scores would be much bigger than one stroke, so I'll continue to play with my head and rely much less on my swing... course management rarely fails while my swing often does.
exactly - this is the kind of nuanced thinking I am proud to have in my comments. thank you
@@GolfSidekick Thanks... like I said, with my swing, I need to think more!
Agree with you too. This course has a lot of room for high #s for those that want to grip it and rip it. Been using the WOTP system for about a month or so and it's really taken the stress off the game and made it enjoyable--especially when I'm in the middle of the fairway watching others look in the rough and woods for their ball(s). lol
Yeah, he should do this again but left-handed
This is the number one golf channel on TH-cam.
easily
Just wait until I launch my channel. Matty will still be number 1.
Excellent work with the flagstick Playa! I think that’s the best putting you’ve ever had on video.😎
Your swing and putting has been money coming off your injury. You must feel very refreshed.
I think you learned about swinging freely and how it can control your driver more than trying to force your driver into a specific spot
13:43 The "conservative" flop shot? 😂 Great shot though, haha.
I am a 16 handicap and I can totally relate to what you said. Some people think you are playing a high risk shot when you are actually not and sometimes it can even be the other way around.
I basically always play with people who are not nearly hitting it as far as I do, so they go off their own yardages and think, "Oh, 250 yards to the beginning of the water? Of course I am going ot hit driver here." At the same time I cannot even hit my 3-hybrid, because it could reach the water. On the other hand there are holes which have a huge 100 yard wide fairway between a carry distance of 270 and 320 yards, which is perfect for my driving distance. I could basically hook or slice it 50 yards each direction and still hit the fairway which can even make the driver a low risk club sometimes. For my swing speed and my handicap the conservative play usually is the better choice, because it eliminates the quadruple bogey factor. I noticed that on Par 5s I tend to hit driver more often to have a chance to reach the green in 2, which feels great, but can easily end in a disaster.
“You’re not going to make many of these puts” *proceeds to drain both*
Sweet Baus... thanks
Your massive advantage in length gives you the options, hitting 4i further than a lot of peoples driver is a game changer
My brother, confidentiality means secret.
Confident means sure of yourself.
Use "confidence" not confidentiality.
💪🏽
He's joking when he says confidential...
I am 66 and was a decent 7 hdc. about 30 yrs ago. I quit golf for a while and now am playing again. For a bit I was obsessed with getting my old swing back and watched several instruction vids. After watching yours I now see my errored ways. Golf should be fun again without trying to recapture the past. You have inspired me to just go be a "playa" and enjoy the game. The days of competing and stressing are over for me! Thank you for your videos and I will continue to have fun and learn from your suggestions!
“… dog in the race … horse in the fight …”. You’re a blast, Mattie Boom-Boom.
With your help good sir I broke 80 yesterday. Thank you spare time legend
well done playa
i gave you the key
you found the lock
i accept 98% of the credit only
@@GolfSidekick I shot 97 today. Will you take responsibility? Titties to the hole. I went high and I cried
@@josephdaou5421 no sir i wasn’t even in the vicinity
@@GolfSidekick😂
4 iron is much more exciting than driver for me. Driver either slices, duck hooks or goes pretty much straight, but 4 iron might do anything.
Till you get Old. then a hybrid is the Only Way...
Matt, you keep hitting it out of the park with these videos. This highlighted what I’ve been thinking about. If you can’t comfortably reach the green if you are confident in yourself, you are probably going to score about the same with any club you are confidential with. And the biggest difference between a good round and a bad round is going to be your mental attitude.
I’m probably the opposite of most everyone. My confidential club off the tee is my driver. For some reason I’m not confidential off the tee with other clubs. So what do I do when I can’t hit a full driver. I just hit a 3/4 driver into the middle of the fairway.
Exactly playa. Beast Mode
The risk of aggressive golf is MUCH higher for a weekend hacker.... and still: most of us choose that option!!!! 😂
I don’t give a shit which one you play just pick your best shots and play. I LOVE your channel, since I started watching I swear to you my scores have come down. I actually parred 8 out of 9 a week ago. You showing us all its a lot to with mentality. Appreciate you Legend!
While I need to play conservatively, it seems that Matt has grown confidential with the Driver and is holding back for our sakes. Thank you for your service, sir!
We all golf for fun. No one watching these videos is a pro golfer. So, do you have fun playing boring and scoring, or do you have fun playing aggressively and maybe having an amazing day, or more than likely blowups? It's personal choice. If your only metric of fun is to score low at any cost, then playing boring. I like to play both ways. Mix it up. Sometimes, I like to just go out there and bomb away, try to shape the ball like Bubba and play high risk golf. It's a past time, not a job. People need to relax. Also, could you all play a bit quicker and stop taking 10 minutes to clear the green acting like your putts are worth a spot in the Masters? No one cares about your 20 handicap.
Thank you.
Okay we need the rick shiels match now
him & not a scratch golfer. He's really good too and is all about fundamentals
He would kill Rick😂
@@sultan450 i’m imagining him playing the ‘time to live’ theme at the end while rick abandons his driver
He would batter rick 😂
I like conservative aggressive. Just got to know what you can do and not being afraid to do what you can do. If you can't play the shot play conservative. Then go get some help to learn how to do it.
That Rick Shiels v Sergio Garcia comment!!! 12:28
Talking about rick shiels. It will be amazing to see these two guys play a round together
You lost me when you said “someone who is confident” what did you mean by that?
i meant confidential i am sorry sir
NICE PUTTING! To me, Conservative golf is not hitting a 4 iron/hybrid off the tee all the time. Conservative golf is not boring. What is boring is hitting a Driver into a fairway bunker or OB or into the water. Who likes making bogies and double bogeys all the time? That's boring. Making pars is not boring. Conservative golf can be hitting Driver (Green Light) or hitting 3 wood or 2 hybrid (Yellow Light). If the hole is not very long it certainly makes sense to lay up and hit a full wedge into the green rather than hitting a driver to an awkward distance of 50 yards to the hole for your approach shot. PGA Pro Michael Block has a good video out where he hits Driver off the tee on a Par 5, then hits a 9 iron for his second shot to 100 yards from the green, short of bunkers and creeks. Then he hits his bread/butter Lob Wedge approach from 100 yards out and makes Eagle 3 (sinks the lob wedge) when his goal was birdie 4. He says you never know what might happen when you play it smart. You see far to many PGA Tour pros going for the green in 2 on par 5's only to end up in the lake or an awkward greenside bunker position. To me, Conservative golf is going for the green in regulation, not going for the green in 1 less than regulation (i.e. going for the green on the drive on a Par 4, and going for the green in 2 on a Par 5).
I am proud to say, because of your videos, I have mastered the aggressive missionary position.
I prefer the bIG DOG . Doggie drive...
6 months in and just starting to get solid in my ball striking. Dont carry a driver. Go to off the tee is 5 wood. Love the course management instruction. Hoping to break 90 in the next 6 months. Cheers!
I'd really like to see this exact format left handed (with a bit more practice) as i think there'd be a lot more unreliability in the aggressive shots which is probably closer to my game 😅
I’ll do it
@@GolfSidekick let's gooooooo ❤️
Please remake this video guiding a high (but relatively consistent) handicapper making similar play decisions
Done that ages ago. Nowadays i don’t have the time
@@GolfSidekick scouring to watch! Thanks Baus!
Sorry new viewer here, are you using the word confidential like that on purpose?
yes sir on porpoise
@@GolfSidekick sounds good, subscribed!
Totally love al this 'confidential' golf information. :-) Small question, you've probably answered somewhere already: what kind of 7 wood are you using? Thanks for everything mate!
Hey Mattie BB. I noticed that on several of you aggressive T offs you were blocking yourself out by where you were teeing up the ball. I caddied at a course where we had a number of holes with overhanging tees and bushes by the tee box and often we would help the members by making them aware of where they teed up. A couple of yards can matter a ton. Love your content brother.
Yeah usually but the distances to the obstacles is too close to make much difference on these certain holes- I have tried but too close to me
@@GolfSidekick I here you. But it just rang a bell with my past experiences with higher handicappers. Peace
Love this side by side comparison Mattie BB! It would be neat to see a 1 vs 1 competition with one player hitting all aggressive shots and the other playing conservatively and see who wins! You have helped me take 4 strokes off my game in a year!! Thank you for that 🎉
It’s not a great comparison in damp tropical conditions because the course is effectively wider. Try this Matty on Scottish Links and the aggressive player would run out of balls!!! 🏴confidential boyfriends🏴
Liberals vs conservatives... Very political Playa.
Those libs always preventing us from scoring!
New collab with Ben Shapiro? Donald Trump?
conservative everytime lowers scores, If you can hit the driver consistently and not many amatuers can then go for it. I dropped my avg score by 12 strokes by taking the driver and 4 iron out of bag, carry 5 and 7 wood. sure l only hit the 5 wood like 220 but l am in the middle of the fairway and on most par 4s l have 150 to 180 in. comfortable 7 iron or 7 wood on the green or just short easy pitch and one or two puts done .
While I like Rick Shields' channel, Shields just blasts shots ad close to the green as possible and has DREADFUL course management. It annoys me. The Baus , however, consistently encourages clear course management jack Nicholssen will be proud
Im a 26 handicapper. Trying to become a Playa. Went round 9 over for front 9 today. Few frustrating holes on the way back in but hey, who cares! Came in 23 over. Making progress.
I’m being a pussy I’m to scared to golf with people I don’t know. I’ve literally done everything in life with or without friends, yet golf I just don’t want to do with a 3some I don’t know? It’s fucking crazy and I don’t know how to get over it… I’m a novice golfer and just started at 50 yrs old. Shooting in the 100’s last round with friends 108. I gotta membership at a course, yet to big of a whimp to play with others I don’t know. I just don’t get it.
Confidential- : intended for or restricted to the use of a particular person, group, or class : PRIVATE, SECRET
Hah, Matt, caught you finally using the words confident and confidence properly at 1:36 into the video instead of confidential and confidentiality properly you sly devil! But you still have the confidentiality meter instead of the confidence meter LOL! ❤😊
P.S. Next time you use your confidentiality meter, reverse your colors. Red should me low confidence (danger) and green means you have lots of confidence (confidentiality in your case).
Matty ., I think you need to start playing some rounds in a Kilt...underwear optional...confidentiality is everything !
I'm 65 and can only drive the ball no further than 210. As a result I'm using my driver on 14 of 18 holes.
Not sure when you got into politics, but I'm getting a bit older so I'll vote for your conservative platform.
Question for you Chief, I pointed a gent to your youtube a couple days ago, specifically to the sacred lectures... and I couldn't find them. Just me or did you take those golden lessons down?
Good video Playa! You were smoking those drives that day. Even though aggressive won your comp I get the message, I might get called a ‘pussy’ for the conservative play but it saves my score…
The better you are, the more aggressive you can play, so not surprised that you were lower hitting more aggressive shots. Repeat this video with a 18hc, likely going to see the reverse.
Dear Matty Boom Boom, I have broken 100, and for my next trick I will break 90 this week. Batten down the hatch!
I loved the confidence meter, because I think what players need to learn is that you should play the shot you are confident in. And that confidence needs to be a confidence that you’ll be in a good position. Most golfers are going to have clubs you’re more confident with, and clubs you’re not, you need to make sure to stick to the clubs and shots you’re confident you can hit, and stay in safety
Dooder, all of your quips in your videos crack me the hell up 😂😂
agressive play = chose hero shots = chose stupid shots.
if it works out you get lower scores, if you mess up it can bring you into the triple digits.
New to this channel, who are these people clapping and walking around in jumpsuits?
Matty layin it down lately! Loving all the content. This one gets a gold medal. Keep it comin.
As always, a joy to watch. 100 per cent commitment. Does it get any better 🤔. Naaaa
THANK YOU Matty boy !!! I’ve been asking for this for years!!
Ive seen enough to deduce that you are a kdrama fan. You do the kdrama finger hearts, you say aish, thats all I need to know
Inigo Montoya would like to talk to you about your use of the word "confidential".
Love your videos, just one question though . . .when you say confidentiality do you mean confidence? Confidentiality means something else entirely
No sir those are in fact differential words
7:39 love the equal representation in golf here. doesn't matter if a hole is bisexual, we can love it all the same
Cracks me up the first flop shop on the channel belongs to the Conservative ball
Music is back!
Yea but he threw in a couple of fake outs! That kept us wondering
What are your thoughts on teeing off all the way to one side of the tee box when you're blocked out of the left or right by trees? I feel like you would have given yourself a better angle on holes 4/6 if you teed off all the way to the right. Cheers mate!
Minimal angle to be had on those tees. I know what you mean though. Better when there’s more space on the tee
Wedding cake for the best Golfers...
Glad to have found this channel. I am learning a lot from it.
No horse in the fight, I'm gonna steal that one.
Both strategies work if you can put like the big boss Matt
I think you might have something there about aggressive and conservative, but for me it's for something different. I find it's not just a tee off distance that is important. I find I like to leave my second shot is better for me if it's a full shot rather than trying to manipulate or conjure up a shot that is probably way above my ability. I do agree but for a different reason.
Love it
don't tell anyone about his "confidentiality meter"
Basically the take away from this video is to be a great putter
You actually might be the best putter on TH-cam for real though
I love how much time you put in to helping me! Thanks brother!
Last year: no birdie, no tip… this year: no eagle, no tip… 👍 👍
Yea but he also said two birdies two tips!
Been binging your videos slime, u might be the realest golf youtuber of all time
bless up homeslice
I think you need a bit of both!! There are holes where you can be aggressive and other for the conservative route!! Like you said it all depends on what one feels comfortable with doing or playing!! Great video Matty Matty Boom Boom!!🏌♂⛳😀👍
I thought you were tatted up for a minute haha
It seems you're a native English speaker. Are you? If so, why do you say "confidential" instead of "confident" Here in the USA, confidential has a different meaning.
Where is the USA? Never heard of it
Why does he say confidential? i think he means confidence
I want this Baus to rock up with only irons and take on Peter Finch, Rick shiels or any TH-cam golfer really...they'd still get smoked.
Not peter finch. He is a great golfer
attack mode is always more fun...
The every day content is beautiful
"Best putter on TH-cam!" YEAH!!
What I wanna know is when are we getting the matching shorts that us common golfers can buy to look even more amazing on the course and have people mesmerized by how amazing the outfit looks and that way they dont see the shank i just hit. Love the videos Baus Matt.
15-16 april maboi
Cheat ! Playing right-handed again. ; )
why does this look like its on a green screen
I'm really digging the tats my boiii
6:29 shouldn’t your confidentiality meter colors be reversed where green is the most confident? Green is go, red is stop.
Yeah but that would take me an hour to make that image so i just stole one online
Yes but, playing on yellow tees 💀
When you say "confidential" do you mean "confident?" Haha. Good content.
I mean ‘in confidence’ playa
Where do I find these tattoo sun sleeves?
What was this course? Looks nice
Conservation is not just for pandas
Love your channel, baus.
Shouldn't the Confidentiality Meter be GREEN for VERY HIGH?
I'm probably being a weenie by saying that, so don't beat me up.
Crazy to think I use to be a 4 handicap in highschool and now I can't even break 90 without breaking a sweat... It's 1000% in between the ears. My confidence with the shots I use to take/pick, visualizing the shot, pre-shot routine has changed. That + I can't hit the ball nearly as far as I use to lol... I hope to break into the single digit hcp soon though!
This is great - I just can't see how to apply it practically on my particular course. It seems that the risk-reward is high on just about every hole. Eg. first - short P4, slight dog-leg left, penalty areas either side of a huge dip in the middle and trees both sides. If you play short, it's a blind shot from a 35 degree slope and possible blocked by the dog-leg.
It goes on from there; there seems to be so few opportunities to play sensibly, without incurring just as much grief. I wish you could see it! Maybe there are chances to apply this wisdom on second or third shots however.
I'll be honest with you mate, I've seen your vids on and off for the last few years now, but never really took much notice.
But I've decided this season I am making a push to break 80. And from watching a few of your vids about breaking 90, breaking 100, breaking 80 and some just about thinking slightly differently, Including this one, I think you have the key I need to achieve my goal.
I've only ever shot 80 once, but it was on a par 70 9 holer with 18 tees, but I pretty much always break 90.
Currently 16 handicap (been as low as 12), but never played more regularly than once a month (sometimes once every two years). 53 years old with long game of a 10 handicap.....but short game of a 25 🤣
Anyway I'll stop talking sh!te........you have my sub.
golfs about havin fun not what you shoot.. unless you in a comp. hit driver off the tees ladys
English lessons are not fun but they really do make a big difference. Invest in a few.
My my, so confidential
Howzit, I just took your suggestions on the front 9 today and pared every hole. It was a pleasure, relaxing and stress free apart from trying to reach par 5 in 2. Scraped a par. Thought about each shot, using the decision box v playing box. Fabulous tips, many thanks 🎉🤗⛳️👌
confidential = confident ..😂
Keep the Rick Shiels jab coming 😂 he was the very golf channel I subbed
I used my driver all round yesterday which I never do. I did it as a test to see if it’s worth it. The issue I have is people use their driver then don’t take the correct penalty. If you lose your ball and drop it 230-250 meters where you’ve lost it it’s a 2 shot penalty for the loss of ball and distance rather than 1 shot penalty. If people played properly their scores would be a lot higher.
Brother, I just want to say thank you. I guess I kind of did things backwards. I watched a bunch of your videos before playing my first round of real golf. I've done scrambles with the guys, but there were always gimmes, mulligans, and anger in the group. I went out by myself and played a very lovely course with the knowledge that I will suck, I will miss, but I will be smart and play to have fun. Playing every single ball where it fell (I did lose a couple to water) I shot a 122 and was so proud of myself. I took a small journal and wrote a few words about every shot I took so that I can see what works. Thanks for bringing some zen into my life.
