You're killing it man. You go out and help people learn better ways to PLAY golf. Not endless technical tips that they wont understand or wont know how to apply on the course. These types of tips you've been giving can teach people how to COMPARTMENTALIZE and shoot lower scores.
I love the feel of your videos. It is like being out on the course with a buddy / a friend....just a chat and some fun with some easy to understand tips! Love it! Thanx mate!
Teaching my son, really been driving home that setup/alignment is 80% of the answer. If setup is bad it’s tough to make a good swing. If alignment is bad chances are a good swing wasted because the ball isn’t going where you want it to go. When we are just out practicing I’ll often place a tee on the ground pointing at the ideal target line for him to line up with. He was surprised by how much better he played, that his misses weren’t bad off line.
Yet another video of very practical advice. I had been doing the grass/divot trick for years, but had never picked targets off the ground until this past season. My mind was focused completely on the ground in front of the ball. The mental shift of trying to hit a target off in the distance and off the ground was a game changer and has helped greatly in committing to the shot.
I’ve been binging these videos getting ready for the season to really start here. I’ve been hovering between 12-15 handicap for the last 2 years. Really trying to get down to that single digit
Since I’ve been aligning the ball for my drives and putts my game has really improved. When putting I align the ball and step back and check with the ball still marked, then quickly adjust if needed. Great advice Matty! Thanks for your channel, you have changed the way I think about golf.
Matty your vids have me and the boys shooting lower and having a lot more fun. Your swing lesson vids saved a playa’s sanity and his clubs from getting thrown off a cliff. For real, cause that playa is me. I’m back on the road to breaking 80
This is such a good video. I don't think I've seen anyone give alignment as thorough an explanation anywhere with as many specific examples. TY for this. As a 23 Handicap, it's always great to see how a low Handicap playa goes about playing the game. Thanks for sharing your processes
Perfecto! I use both hi and low alignment aids...near and far too! Anything that increases confidence will increase commitment... and a committed shot is always better. Cheers Matt!
Thank you !! Been a huge fan since I started golfing a year and a half ago. I gotta say thanks to your guidance I was finally able to shoot under 100 for the first time just a few days ago. Haha then I proceeded to break my leg playing soccer yesterday but atleast I finally made it happen right on time after watching your break 100 tutorials haha. A few more months and hopefully I will be getting back into it and enjoying the game again ! Much Love ❤
pure gold as always my man. your fans want more crazy travel challenges like you did before around thailand. also, it would be great if you listed the golf course where you film the video each time so we can go there too. thanks, buddy.
Really useful tips! The thing I struggled the most on my first round saturday was body alignement. I felt like Bdog when you were stopping him before his shots because his body was aiming at the parking lot instead of the flag...any tips on that regard would be amazing!
Great and practical advise. I can confirm that these really do work as have been doing this for a couple of years. This kind of things is what golfers really need to know rather than lots of swing mechanics stuff! Thanks Playa in Chief!
Not realizing I had piss poor alignment was the biggest roadblock to improving for me. Once I had intention with where I was aimed and ensuring my feet and club face lined up with that, it was like a night and day shift. From duff-slicing (30 yards forward, 10-20 yards to the left) every shot to consistently hitting pure shots to within 10-15 yards laterally of my target. Even when I don't hit it pure, my misses go straight and still go 50-60% of a full shot.
Great comment. I started using his 2 foot putts drill. I can do it for 20-30 minutes and not get bored. I am so much better from 3-6 feet because of it
It would be nice if you could do a course that starts from brand new player and progresses down the line. You've given a lot of help for me and I just want to say, thank you.
I need this reminder everytime i step into the tee box. I'm the worst for paralysis by analysis and then just forgetting the small things that matter most during my round.
Great stuff as usual baus. But if we could see a little bit more about "hit the logo here to fade, hit it here to draw" with some more images, I think it'd be helpful.
Matt, is the oil can Birddog putter going to be restocked anytime soon? When are the new waddaplaya shorts going to be released? Really enjoy you content! TY!
Hey playa. Bird dog was limited and won’t be back but there’ll be similar items soon. Also limited runs off under 100 pieces. Shorts and trousers should be here over May (shorts) and June (trousers)
I’ve been trying this for awhile but I struggle with getting my stance aligned as when you stand over the ball the alignment looks wrong. Can do a vid on the feet position after you have lined up the ball to target..
Line up club face to target then line up your feet to parallel train tracks. The best way to line up your feet is with an alignment stick between your toes and the ball, running parallel with your feet and target.
Female caddies are really ubiquitous around Thailand etc., Those are usually the ladies you see in his videos. And I believe the lovely blonde lady is part of his production team, she's filmed a few videos with him now and it is great to have the extra camera angles, she's doing a good job for the channel with that.

Yas you understand it 100% playa! Less grift more mind set shift

Playa in chief with wise words once again 👌🏴⛳
Love the caddie doing a sneaky backswing practice while you're chatting.

Yeah I've lined up with divots for years but but never tried to pick a visualization for the landing area

Try less! Learn about yourself more.
Relax.
It will come up you.

Glad to help playa
Great advice, as always. Using something closer to the ball aligned with the target has helped me tremendously since I started doing it.

Confidence is one of the key things needed in golf

More genius thinking! 😮 thank you sir yet again!
the old knee crack at 8:21 lol, I feel that
😂 OK ... backtracked to hear it. 😂🤙🏻
Another Awesome Video Matty.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to be fair, probably the best video of all time
This video quality is so crispy in definition, I could see the people waving back at us through the windows. 👍
Really useful tips!

I hear you playa. Alignment is key. Sometimes our bodies and mind don’t align
Jack is the greatest. This is his simple set up for alignment. 60 years ago.
Great tips. I’m definitely going to look at divots differently. I like your style.
Great and practical advise. I can confirm that these really do work as have been doing this for a couple of years. This kind of things is what golfers really need to know rather than lots of swing
mechanics stuff! Thanks Playa in Chief!
Thanks playa. Spreading the good news
Waddaplaya sporting the matching hat.
Nice! 👍
I immediately click like, no matter what content !
Spot on when you say alignment is overlooked Playa! Another great video!!
Thanks playa. Glad you enjoyed it
Great advice. But the highlight of the video is the beautiful camera lady! 😉
Like a bizauzi 🔥
Love the videos recently very helpful for beginner/intermediate like me
Thanks for tuning in playa. Here for all the beginners intermediates and beyond. More to come playa
@@GolfSidekick you're the one and only playa in chief. Can't wait for the next one. Come back to USA and do a meet and greet!

1ft putt is fantastic drill. You’re spot on, you want to practice the ball going into the hole. You don’t want to practice missing putts.

I need a cheat sheet to remember this. I get on course amnesia so bad.

@davefiver I've considered writing key notes on the back of my glove haha
That’s how I cheated in exams
Great video PIC

Go try out first. You’ll auto adjust
Matt, is the oil can Birddog putter going to be restocked anytime soon?
When are the new waddaplaya shorts going to be released?
Really enjoy you content! TY!
Hey playa. Bird dog was limited and won’t be back but there’ll be similar items soon. Also limited runs off under 100 pieces.
Shorts and trousers should be here over May (shorts) and June (trousers)
What irons are you playing? Takomo looks like. what model?

Do I need a bucket had to perfectly align my shots?
I think so
I’ve been trying this for awhile but I struggle with getting my stance aligned as when you stand over the ball the alignment looks wrong. Can do a vid on the feet position after you have lined up the ball to target..

@@GolfSidekick could only dream of being spoiled like that. But those masks would have to go
@@odyoddeller they are actually on the way to surgery after the round - they are all doctors
@@GolfSidekick no good. I like my doctors male and moustached

The only reason I'm watching is because of Teski
I think I'd have done a second take on that first shot lmao. That was not aimed very well....
4:35…. Your a hell of a golfer but your no Messi
When you get to be my age, no matter what methods you use, the balls just will not align.
Haha lols
