When I was young my dad would go on benders, anywhere from three days - two weeks long, we wouldn't see him or hear from him, and you have to realise this was the 80s, no smartphones or tracking chips. I liked my dad when I was young, too young to realise the hideousness of the man. Because of my naivety I would miss him terribly. Later in life I had a dog, very special to me, like my best friend, a truly wondrous companion. We had epic adventures together, he once saved me from a house fire and went back in to save my cat. Well, time took its toll and we had to put poor old Wolfie down, I held him as his life slipped away and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I miss him as much now as I did that day. I tell you these things because as hard as they were at the time they pale into insignificance when compared to how much I have missed your videos and how hard it has been checking TH-cam everyday to see no new uploads. Well, today comes and not only a new video, but one with all the crew, the Player-in-Chief, B-dog, J-mac, and Teaski back together, today is the happiest day of my life, superior even to the birth of my first born child.
Reverae, I'm glad to see that you find the time for things that you enjoy. What I find concerning is the level of importance you place on these videos. What you are doing whether you realize it or not is reaching out for help. I'm not sure what your present situation is, but I implore you to reach out to someone close you can confide in or seek help from a professional. I am truly concerned for your well being and hope you take the next step.

Thank you for the channel and your perspective. It has made golf fun again (understatement) after years of “over trying” and being frustrated. I have gone back and watched almost every video on here. Some more than once. I am on my way to the 80s and can’t wait for my next two hours on the chipping and putting green. I love looking over at the driving range and seeing so many people just banging drive after drive. Searching for something they will continue to chase while the Waddaplayas hone the things that matter. Genuine thanks and please keep doing what you do.
I've been watching your video's for well over a year. Last round I shot was a 83. Best round of my life. That's with a double and a triple on the card. Keep being you.
I've watched this video a half a dozen times and written down so many of these quotes. After a long vacation to regroup, you deliver probably your best work to date. Cheers to the true Playa-In-Chief. You continue to inspire me not just in golf, but in life as well.
Welcome back! I played today. Had an awesome round. Decided not to play driver. Every hole hit a 4 or 5 iron except par 3s. Nearly broke 100. I need to work on my driver, but dang hitting that 5 off the tee so pure was encouraging baby!
Lekker videos, been keeping up with your rebuild on IG. Started 6 months ago and broke 90 the last few rounds. Thank you for the playa way of life, super helpful for beginners as well!!
Happy to see u back. Also still thanking and encouraging your engagement in golf. I enjoyed the comments in description. Apologies for my english but Im french. Hope the best for u and your famille...
I've shot my lowest scores ever this year thanks to your videos and advice! I've learned how to think about golf and life in different ways...Your an inspiration to many! Thanks Baus!
Great to have you back Playa in Chief! What I thought was already pretty Zen is now next level. Mind blown. Can't wait to get out tomorrow for a swing, my game has improved tenfold since I started turning up resplendent in my HUMMINGBIRDIE and nailing some humming birdies 😁 Thanks Playa, best dude on YT for sure 🤙
Boet, I must say, your relaxed “playa” tips have helped so much with changing my perspective on golf. Enjoying every round by thinking less and just being a “playa”. What an absolute legend you are! Keen to jam a round if you’re ever back in SA.💪🏻
I absolutely love this channel, and your videos. I'm a beginner, still trying to break 100, so a lot of this stuff is still too advanced for me, but I love the concept of giving each shot the respect it deserves. It has helped me stop going on "bad luck runs". I still shoot bad shots, but I have stopped letting a bad shot on hole 2 drag me down until hole 5. Thanks, Matt!
I had an embarrassingly awful match the other day, but you know what? I was outside in the sun, playing some golf, and enjoying every opportunity for practice and experience. Your videos have helped me with learning to really just take a step back and focus on enjoying golf again.
Biggest Bruce lee fan here, and practitioner of JKD. You got it spot on! Picking up golf I realized it’s very mental like martial arts and combat sports. Thanks dude!
I started watching your videos 2 months ago and seriously practicing golf, I shot my best round ever today with an 81, and I had a 38 on the front! The way you have taught me to approach a hole is so different and much smarter now, I’ve cut off strokes from my actual practice and from just how I play the course smarter now.
Welcome back, love your channel and life and golf philosophies. I started watching your channel earlier this year and you have taught me to enjoy the game (life) more, and I am the better golfer and person for it.
This channel is the most amazing golf channel I've seen on TH-cam! You are funny, the camera work is 👍, and your spirit is overwhelmingly easy. I'm a subscriber because you know how to put out the good vibes in a frustrating game. Salud.
Great to see you back!! Just want to say that I've learned so much from your vids about how a positive mentality helps both my game and my experience on the golf course. Just broke 80 for the first time in my life yesterday thanks to the way of the playa!
just broke 90 today. had more fun because i played better. played better due in part to watching your videos. thanks so much man. almost feels like a way of life more than just golf. it’s a good day
Dont listen to the haters man, love watching your videos. The positive approach has helped my golf game so much, especially your tips on never giving up on a hole.
Bravo Playa-In-Chief. Potentially relevant Socrates quote: "The secret to change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." Sincere gratitude for "participating" in the journey here.
That Par save on 14 and 15 was magical! Love the vibes man, I had a very rough round yesterday, driver was GREAT, had less than 150 yards every single hole, but my chipping was awful, kept rolling off the greens, 2 putts, bogey and db almost every hole. Towards the end I could really see how my negative emotion starting playing through me. I felt like I never wanted to play again lol. So hopefully when I play again I can remember to embrace the way of the playa even when the unfortunate things happen.
Dude I missed you so much! I love to watch the Chief-Playa! It inspire me to break 80... Still grinding tho... Averaging 82-84... maybe slashing some shots soon. Keep going Matt!
I’m so glad you’re channelling Bruce golf sensai. In any respect intellectually or physically he was one of the greatest people of the 20th Century. Imagine if Bruce played golf. Even Tiger would bow in deference. He would be the Krishnamurti of Golf. Matt you don’t tell us how to play. You show us the way TY.
Good to see you back Playa in Chief! Noticed in one of the comments that they were following your rebuild on IG (assume instagram)... I only saw the one on-course lesson, will you be releasing more on you tube?
Great round! I've been playing some zen golf lately as well, mostly very pure strikes, along with the ocassional, inevitable poeffie. Nobody escapes the tube - not even Bruce Lee
If you think you are or should be a good golfer you are not. You are a golfer, a playa, a boyfriend, a brother, and a son or daughter. There will be hits and misses in all aspects. I appreciate these videos more than you know.
Way of the playa granted me my lowest score of 82! An anomaly maybe, but will be grinding to make that my new normal with the little golf I have left this year!
Thanks for coming back to us.
Yes. Let us give thanks.
Turn of the tide!

Set this to a mournful slide guitar and you've got yourself a country music hit.
lol
So good to see a new video...we missed you Zen Master! Hope all is well in your world.

Loved the video and all of the inspiration...personal fave, “if you believe something is impossible, you have made it impossible”

Dude, you look so much better coming through the ball. You're clearing out really well. Almost time for Streamsong 😉
Welcome back, Playa! You've been missed.
Destination vs direction. .... Deep and inspirational. Thank you for all the wisdom.
Good to see you back Baus Playa, we all need those Bruce Lee quotes to stay humble and find our ambition to improve (be it in golf or life) 👊💪
I've shot my lowest scores ever this year thanks to your videos and advice! I've learned how to think about golf and life in different ways...Your an inspiration to many! Thanks Baus!

The 18th hole drive has me in tears lol
Glad to see you’re back!

Good to see you back Matt!

Bought a bucket hat. Hoping it's full of birdies. Love your way. Much to be learned by it. Keep up the way of the Playa, PLAYA.
Dont listen to the haters man, love watching your videos. The positive approach has helped my golf game so much, especially your tips on never giving up on a hole.

Welcome back chief.
Glad you're back Playa. Missed your face.
The Playa is back!
Thanks for the video. Watching has made me want to learn about golf psychology.
Some great words of wisdom on this video. I made some notes.
love the videos man, if by chance you're ever in the states id love to tee it up with the playa-in-chief
That Par save on 14 and 15 was magical!

welcome back chief
Saving par after hitting your drive into the water was so baus
Back from the wilderness! Keeping it authentic as always.
Haters hate, playas play... a.
The rebuild is gonna be epic
I’m so glad you’re channelling Bruce golf sensai. In any respect intellectually or physically he was one of the greatest people of the 20th Century. Imagine if Bruce played golf. Even Tiger would bow in deference. He would be the Krishnamurti of Golf. Matt you don’t tell us how to play. You show us the way TY.
Whatta chip on number 11! Dude that’s crazy good on that ridiculous green!!
Good to see you back Playa in Chief! Noticed in one of the comments that they were following your rebuild on IG (assume instagram)... I only saw the one on-course lesson, will you be releasing more on you tube?
Welcome back 🙏 I'm going all Zen watch me grow bro.
Wadda way of the fist playa... best vid yet my dude 👊🏽💪🏽
The way of the playa took one for the team there Matt, great play though 👍👍👍waddaplaya 🌩🌩
Gotta love it playa . 👊🏻👊🏻🏴🏌🏻
The essence of Jeet Ken do. Very impressive playa in chief.
Hi Matt, did u changed ur swing. It’s more simple and easy. Good boss! 👍👍👍
Great round! I've been playing some zen golf lately as well, mostly very pure strikes, along with the ocassional, inevitable poeffie. Nobody escapes the tube - not even Bruce Lee
The birdie song record scratch at 5:00 was perfect. LOL
That course looks immaculate.
If you think you are or should be a good golfer you are not. You are a golfer, a playa, a boyfriend, a brother, and a son or daughter. There will be hits and misses in all aspects.
I appreciate these videos more than you know.
Holy inspirational quotes, Batman!
Hell yeah man, love it
You had quite a few hole burners!! Nice to see you hitting that driver good too!!
I just love Teaski’s attitude . I wish my gf and my sister is like that
Crushing the driver like a rejuvenated zen Playa!!
Way of the playa granted me my lowest score of 82! An anomaly maybe, but will be grinding to make that my new normal with the little golf I have left this year!
Finally a new video
