I live in Finland so the golf season is only about 6 months long, but now that the season is kicking off I am once again (like last season) starting to binge your videos. Keep up the great work!
Just started watching this channel, I subbed immediately. You explain the decision making process and mental side of the game so well, while being extremely entertaining and hitting some great shots too. Love watching your videos, keep them coming!
Getting fitted for my driver and then putting my ego aside and just hitting smart shots instead of trying to make hero shots, shaved my strokes from 104 to 89. I still struggle with approach shots and distance but you can save a lot of strokes just by not trying to do too much.
I was a seldom golfer before retiring at 53 when I decided to take it seriously. At the time I was shooting in the 90s. Best lesson I learned from my course pro was to watch myself and other high handicappers and notice how often they are short of the pin. With other course management tools I was regularly in the mid 80s and within three years was in the high 70s.......
Liked the video. Entertaining and informative. Especially like the shot-tracker. I am an old, decrepit, broken down golfer of 72 years. I can remember the days when I "broke the numbers": 100, 90, 80, par, sub-par. And I've learned a little bit during this trip through the numbers. I've learned that the wonderful thing about breaking those higher numbers is that you can improve quickly and dramatically. And you can do this with no lessons; it doesn't require a good grip or any technical thoughts or lessons. Simply spend most of your warm-up and practice time on or around the practice putting green.
Matthew Kelly Hey Matt, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. I love that they are “golf instruction” in the sense of mechanics, but the mental approach to the game. This is so important because it’s nearly impossible to execute a good golf shot (much less several in a row) when you’re feeling frustrated, angry, or unconfident. It’s been great watching your journey as well as those of others on the channel that are not pros or scratch golfers, but just regular people that want to enjoy the game and find ways to improve. This year I finally broke 90 and more importantly, I’m enjoying the game more, even when I’m not having a good round. Your videos were a huge part of that! I’m still learning to put my ego aside, but you’ve helped me realize that being able to get out and play is a blessing, and there’s no point in investing the time if it’s not going to be enjoyable. Thanks for the videos and I hope you keep making lots of them!
@@GolfSidekick If JMac shortens his swing (stops wrapping the shaft behind his neck like John Daly) he'd be way more accurate because he'd square the club face up more frequently. My 2-cents. I enjoy watching these videos, learning course management is a great way to simply enjoy the game more.
So glad I found your videos. This is the mindset I need to develop, put way too much pressure on myself to play like I’m a pro. Bogey player here I come!
Your narration abilities are great. I really enjoy learning the mental side of the game from someone that can recognize where others are in their journey and offer smart strategies for improvement. Subscribed!
Awesome stuff sir! GIOTG - Get It On The Green - so absolutely simple but such amazing advice, I have to consistently tell myself that while playing. I went from a 21 capper to 17 this year just by leaving ego in the car and only making shots I know thanks to this mad scientist!! :) And that was with some poor putting which is the work I'm doing this winter (ruler drill before bed).
Well done! It's good to see how much better JMac has gotten. He's going to beat you one day, ha ha. I play with two different groups and the one with better players definitely shows you where the path of improvement lies. Short game and consistency. Here's a few reasons I really like this channel: 1. High production values. Holding the camera steady isn't that hard, is it? Apparently it is for many other channels. 2. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Golf is supposed to be fun. Death match golf just isn't fun for me. 3. Real humans, playing real golf, warts and all. 4. Less swing technical analysis, more mental. Keep up the good work.
Thanks playa, that is the aim of the channel. No confusing bollocks, just some stuff we can all use and improve with. I hop to reach more subscribers this year and induct them into the Way of the Playa Hall of Fame and work with them to have more fun and control their games better out there
Perfection. The details about the whole and club, label showing distance to the pin, shading showing area to aim and to not aim for, shot tracer and commentary. All in all perfection. I'm an improving 100 strokes player and will try and get down to 90 this year. Thanks for the help 🏌🏻♀️🏌🏻♀️🏌🏻♀️⛳
graeme maguire hey boyfriend. Good luck playa and look at the back catalog of videos. There are lots of helpful things. More breaking 100 and 90 videos coming this year
GOD DAMN! Best golf creator on TH-cam. I have never felt as good about myself as I do after watching one of your videos. Currently at a 19 handicap and just dropping every round. I can feel my first sub 90 round coming soon. "Not good or bad, just where I am in my journey" So fucking simple.
Watching your vids the last couple weeks inspired me to apply your strategies. I will say, they do work. I went from shooting mid to high 90's to shaving off nearly 10 strokes per round. My last two rounds were 89 and 86 respectively! With a little more consistency with my driver plus getting closer to the pin on my green shots, I feel 70s are within reach.
Wow, one of the best "instruction-video" I have seen for a long time. Yes, I fully agree with your tips: Commitment and reduce putting to two strokes. It helped me going from high 90-ies to high 80-ies. Keep it up.
I am loving these real world insights. I need to improve my game by 4 shots this year to get to single figures and have found some improvement potential in my short game recently. I am also taking lessons through the winter. Can't wait until the new season, I will be ready.
Barring the pinned divot comment, just checked out this channel for the first time and really enjoyed the content. Very useful course thinking for a newer amateur player like myself. Thanks for taking me through the thoughts and clubs as you worked around that beautiful course!
I have come to realize how different people (golfers) are. If I don't break 90, it is always, without question, an issue in ball striking. As soon as I am within 120 of the green, all issues go away. I have never finished a round thinking "if I only had putted better today" or "if I only had come out of that bunker in 1", no , it's always just "damn why didn't I find the ball in that rough" and essentially lost balls. I can leave my driver at home, it doesn't matter, I can snap hook a 6 iron off the tee into the OB with similiar frequency. I have really smooth feel for the ball and club as long as I swing below 45mph, after that all bets are off, I will hook it 280 into the next village on bad days. But my best buddie plays like a robot until he is 120 of the green and then, depending on the day, anything can happen. People and their struggles are really different I think. Looking at my stats from the last 10 rounds, it's pretty clear that my whole handicap is just an artifact of lost balls. If I recalculate my scores with "free mulligans of the tee", my hcp would be closer to 0 than to 14. I need no help in my short game. I have just no idea how to stop losing 6-8 balls per round. And this goes to show the difference, give another 14 hcp free mulligans and they will probably not turn into scratch golfers, they would benefit more from some relief around the green.
Loved the vid. Shows me I need to get my headspace right, worry about my games and learn to course manage myself better. Top vid, very basic but great tips. Thanks guys.
I washed your video last night and went to go play today, didn’t get a scorecard and just played my game and hitting clubs I felt comfortable with. Played with 2 better players and came in 2nd place with an 83 best score ever. Thanks for the video.
I played my first ever round of virtual golf yesterday. Hasn’t taken a full swing in 3 months and didn’t stretch. Not feeling to great the day after lol.
@@HankTheTank23 some of us live in countries with cold winters and snow so yes there are golf bars with the best simulators and booze that operates through the winter! It's a good bit of fun but if you go more than 20 tines ite worth to invest in your own garage simmy like I did paid 6000 for the setup and did a lot of the work myself but I do weekend and monthly tournaments with 10 lads. 50 on weekends 100 on the monthly winner takes 80% 20% stays with the house. End of winter season we do one big tournaments 200 buy in that takes two weeks as it's four rounds 2 guys get cut every round. Final round is a foursome ( they can play individually or together if they're golf partners ) lowest score wins 1500 and the prize pack ( last year I did 150$ gift card to golf town & a dozen prov1s plus you keep the kings course trophy for the season. Second gets money back rest stays with the house. Byob.
Love the simple but important advice! Thank you for a simple plan that can help anyone be more mindful of the shots to play rather than trying to force too high skill level concepts that are beyond that players abilities.
i can watch you, jmac, brian, and t'ski play all day - these are all such gold - please find a way where you all can commit the rest of your life to traveling the world playing golf together and posting dope playa vids :) k thnx :P
My golf game has been interesting. I rarely go to the range or the putting green before I tee off, my buddies and I prioritize on speed over our scores haha on a bad day I’ll shoot 100 and on a good day I’ll shoot 85 or so. One day I played 9 by myself and just focused on low stress golf and other principles I find on your channel and I shot 37 that day. Whatta day thank you Matt
Just signed up to a club so I'm joining at 28 handicap until I've 3 cards in and will need to start playing from the whites. Keep up the quality vids bro.
Oh, it's easy for you because....well, I'm not sure, but I'm a very bitter person, so I have to assume there must be something. Maybe the butterfly effect coupled with trade winds. Good stuff Matt. You're spot on about indecision and commitment. I've lost track of the amount of times I've addressed the ball not sure if I have the right club in my hand with the end result of, usually, some sort of duff shot.
I think a large part of improving your scores is being able to play to your strengths on the course and defending against weaknesses. If you have great touch, play closer to the green. If you don't, manage the course and keep full-shots in your hand. Continue to practice on your weaknesses until you have enough confidence to bring them onto the course. Another thing I've noticed that has helped me bring my handicap from an 16 to a 5 over the past 3 seasons is not chasing a score. I can start a round with back-to-back double bogeys and not be rattled because I know that I can make those strokes back over the course of the round. I feel like too many golfers get in their heads after a mistake or bad bounce and begin to play outside of themselves.
9:47. The 2nd shot on a Par 5 is the most overdone shot in golf - you just need to advance a reasonable distance like he does here. Great advice like this from Matt has made my game the most enjoyable it's ever been, and I've been playing since the early 1970's! Love also the shot at 13:54, the high handicapper flop - a riot!!!
10:48 That 7 iron bump and run was so money. Most high handicappers would never think about taking a longer club there. Those type of shots can keep the larger scores away
JMac was playing on greens here a clear 2 feet faster than any green he is used to in Malaysia, where most courses run below 9 on the stimp. usually 8 to 8.5 That's one hell of an adjustment for most mid to high handicappers
Should have included Teaski: "...and breaking 100." BTW, make sure to tell her that I subscribed to her channel, and for this 90s shooter, it's baus. Happy New Year to you all.
Statistically you're better off hitting a longer club as close to the green as possible vice laying up to a full swing club distance. See James Sieckmann video. Pros love half wedges. In addition to eliminating 3-putts, also avoid 2-chips (chunks and skulls). These add many strokes a round. So learn to chip it close. Last advice: on approach shots, hit one longer club than your distance and swing easy. You'll hit more greens, make more pars and birds. Cheers!
This is a very nice video. Well done, well commented, good sound, nice music (and good mix). And: as always, the secret lies in the short game. It is practically all I practice, actually. The course you played on looked really nice, by the way, and quite challenging bunker landscapes..
Short game and course management. A player that can break 90 but not 80 generally keeps the ball in play most of time but when they miss the green in regulation they struggle to get up and down. A player that consistently breaks 80 but not quite scratch will miss their share of greens but often they are able to chip on and one putt to save more pars. They are also good at managing their misses to avoid big numbers on the scorecard.
JMAC's ham fisted putting grip is his putting problem. No flow in that stroke. 100% agree on course management being the best way to improve strokes on your game. great video. Looks like you guys have great fun! JMAC could easily shoot 80. He plays pretty smart overall.

How did you get the ball tracking on your video? Did you use Trackman or Flightscope? I would love to be able to do that for my personal round on course..
Course management is the biggest way to lower scores. I can hit 300yd drives, 180yd 7 irons, and im decent at putting, but a lot of times i try to get cute with some shots so im always in the 80s. No doubt in my mind if I worked on course management (with the help of properly fitted clubs at some point) I could be a consistent 70s player.
If you ever want to compare a 80 vs a 110 I’m always available
Lol, same
if you ever want to compare an 80 vs a 190's shooter I'm always available.
This comment caught me off guard lmfaooo😭💪
I immediately shaved 10 strokes off my handicap by not playing the last 4 holes. Now I can just focus on drinking from hole 15-18. 🤣⛳🥃
That is possibly the best way to get your score down, will try it.
Genius
If that only shaved off 10 strokes you should have kept playing!
You smart

Thnks playa, that's what it's all about. Well done on breaking 90 and keep enjoying - the after effect of enjoyment is lower scores like a true playa

Lovely playa!
Jmac is killing it!👍🏻🏌️♂️
think he put up an 82 the other day like a deadly baus
Love the simple but important advice! Thank you for a simple plan that can help anyone be more mindful of the shots to play rather than trying to force too high skill level concepts that are beyond that players abilities.
Thanks playa. Brilliant observation and in a nutshell that’s the game I’m preaching
The high handicap flop shot!! OMG too funny
I was praying so hard that he would make the 6 footer for par on the one where he played the ol' lazer bank shot.
The high handicapper flopshot. Fantastic! 😂👍🏻👍🏻
And the „Guten Tag“ was well pronounced.

Great video! Just another reason why short game is so crucial.
Have some fun, such an important mindset!

JMAC is straight beast out there! Much improved!
10:48 That 7 iron bump and run was so money. Most high handicappers would never think about taking a longer club there. Those type of shots can keep the larger scores away
Good to see you both using centre shaft putters Matt. JMac's putting stroke needs some work but his game has come on miles. Great video as usual!
JMac was playing on greens here a clear 2 feet faster than any green he is used to in Malaysia, where most courses run below 9 on the stimp. usually 8 to 8.5
That's one hell of an adjustment for most mid to high handicappers
As always, a great video. Positive golf is fun golf.

15:41 That backswing is enormous.
What an awesome course!
Superb
Statistically you're better off hitting a longer club as close to the green as possible vice laying up to a full swing club distance. See James Sieckmann video. Pros love half wedges. In addition to eliminating 3-putts, also avoid 2-chips (chunks and skulls). These add many strokes a round. So learn to chip it close. Last advice: on approach shots, hit one longer club than your distance and swing easy. You'll hit more greens, make more pars and birds. Cheers!
Why did dude perfect link me here
That's my question bro
Because they want peopl to be enlightened
Course looks awesome. I'm a beginner. This was a fun video to watch.
Find someone that loves you like JMac loves his hybrid!
Jmac doesn’t look at the ball when putting! Not seen this approach before... he’s obviously improving so keep up the good work 👍⛳️
Awesome video.
I agree 100% it's all about enjoying the game and having fun
Yes man! You get it!
He's spot on at the end of the video. No one cares if you shoot 72 or 102 as long as you're keeping up and fun to play with.
Why did dude perfect send me here? What’s the announcement
me too
Big Announcement Is They're Trying To Shoot An 80 After The Covids Disappear From The Courses
@@CousinSqueeze LOL
@@GolfSidekick 😉 Good Video Though! I Watched It! And Subscribed
mustve been a mistake
Awesome progress for J-mac! Gives me hope for this coming summer.
Fantastic video, thank you for breaking it down!
Thanks for taking the time Playa
course looks amazing
This is a very nice video. Well done, well commented, good sound, nice music (and good mix). And: as always, the secret lies in the short game. It is practically all I practice, actually. The course you played on looked really nice, by the way, and quite challenging bunker landscapes..
JMac is a certified BAUS playa!!!! What is the putter JMac is using? I really like to look of the centre shafted and fancy trying one out.
One of the Odyssey White Hot range. The thing is so sweet

Really enjoy your channel and great content! Thanks
Dude Perfect Trying To Shoot An 80 This Summer In Golf... Big Video I Suppose 😂😂
Short game and course management. A player that can break 90 but not 80 generally keeps the ball in play most of time but when they miss the green in regulation they struggle to get up and down. A player that consistently breaks 80 but not quite scratch will miss their share of greens but often they are able to chip on and one putt to save more pars. They are also good at managing their misses to avoid big numbers on the scorecard.
Golf as in life: commit to a plan, and if it sucks, get a new plan. I love this video!
Loved the high-handicapper flop shot. Executed like a baus ... whataplaya
WOTP is growing on you J-Mac. That hybrid is worth a try at almost every tee. 💪🏻☀️😎
Would've been. Cracked it's face about a week ago. 😣
Oh that was the club you cracked?! Saw your post on FB. Hopefully you find a better than satisfactory replacement. Nice to see your improvement J-Mac!
Golfed today and was my first time breaking 90! Shot an 85 :)
Waddaman! Excellent achievement playa
100% agree with putting ego aside and play your game to your strengths, ego is a mind game that is easily played
JMAC is legit bruh #waddacoach
JMAC's ham fisted putting grip is his putting problem. No flow in that stroke. 100% agree on course management being the best way to improve strokes on your game. great video. Looks like you guys have great fun! JMAC could easily shoot 80. He plays pretty smart overall.
JMac was playing on greens here a clear 2 feet faster than any green he is used to in Malaysia, where most courses run below 9 on the stimp. usually 8 to 8.5
That's one hell of an adjustment for most mid to high handicappers
How did you get the ball tracking on your video? Did you use Trackman or Flightscope? I would love to be able to do that for my personal round on course..
Lots of great course management tips Matt!! Great golf vlog and that course looks so sweet!! Happy New Year's too!!
Not too bad considering there was a major drought there!
JMAC!!!
IF, you ever come to Australia give us a shout would love to have a hit with you! Well done J-MAC! Game looking good!
Same goes for if you're ever in Johor Bahru
J Mac For sure ✌🏼
J Mac I’m specifically in Melbourne. Great sand belt courses 😉
Epic! Brother in law is moving to Aus in the next couple years, so I'm sure to be visiting sometime in the future.
Love it, let's jam
Course management is the biggest way to lower scores. I can hit 300yd drives, 180yd 7 irons, and im decent at putting, but a lot of times i try to get cute with some shots so im always in the 80s. No doubt in my mind if I worked on course management (with the help of properly fitted clubs at some point) I could be a consistent 70s player.
what are you using for ball tracking? and for sure his putting hurt his game but was fun to watch
Jmac has improved alot. The way of the playa
He is a keen follower
Nice job with this. It helps alot
J-Mac playing a brand these days! Great to see
JMac is a brand
What a great video. Love the info
Great work J Mac, come along so much it's fantastic to watch.
