I broke 80 for the first time last week. Feels good playa. I can directly credit your 3x6 (6 groups of 3 holes) system as a huge reason why. Forever grateful 🙏🏻
Biggest change for my game was concentrating on my game, not the other people i play with. Stopped really comparing my game to theirs. Next change was no hero shots or shots that had a 50% chance of success. This changed my game. I now ask on every shot: what do i want to do? Can i do it? Did i achieve what i wanted to do? If not, why did i not?
^ this is huge. One of the reasons I decide to walk when I can because I focus way more on my own game and not the person I'm riding in the cart with, etc...
Broke 90 this past week and a half 4 times with a low of 84. I’ve found that zero swing thoughts , trust in myself and everything has come together. Thank you, Matt.
I rarely comment but I shot my best round ever today and I think a lot of it was because of your videos. I’ve always struggled with course management and letting ego get in the way. I shot an almost stress free 2 under today and can’t believe it. Thanks for the content !
I wish I had discovered the way of the Playa sooner. Found you a couple days ago and got a good laugh at your nickname Matty Boom Boom. That is also my nickname lol. Listened to a few of the Sacred lectures and played my best round in 24 years today. Finally broke 100 again with a 94!
This is gold stuff for me personally. Once I started planning the hole backwards golf seemed to get easier. Ever been on a par 5 and your second shot you want to put to the 100 yard stake? And you basically hit the stake? No pressure, no trying to kill it, none of that, just hitting the golf ball to that open area of fairway 100 yard stake. Easy life and I like 100 yard in. I LIKE. YOU may not, but I do. Much better than trying to smash something hit it fat and end up 60 yards out. I'd take 100 over 60 any day and I'm sure LOTS of golfers would say the same. I thought Bee Yaus was Lithuanian personally :)
I played 18 yesterday and shot an 80 thanks to your great teaching about par as a construct. I picked the hardest 9 holes and played for bogey then shot par and had birdie looks on the rest! Thank you so much for the great videos
Playa, these topics + a bit of Q&A would make a great podcast. I often find myself walking around my apartment with earphones in just taking in this gospel.
Played Ranpark's Firethorn course Sunday 3rd July. on Par 5 second hole I saw a planted feather on the tee box. Proceeded to make up and down for par. Then I remembered par was a social construct. #respect
Mattski, these whiteboard videos are my favorite! The whole playlist goes on repeat at my house frequently during the week. Like 25% of the views probably come from me lol. Love them.
I have tried this system in 2 weeks. And I got my best score 73 (+1) at home course (previous best score 77 and average around 85) Last Saturday, I won “Best Gross Overall” with 74 (+2) on the other course. Many thanks for introducing me this system. My next target to make average below 80 (recently 81)
love this system and series! combining it with either the lying zero or +1 on every hole, a non stupid tee shot (5i for me), and a mindful short game and putting practice i can already feel how my scores are lowering and now i am shooting on the low 90s on a good day and on the high 90s on a bad one. sub90 is yet to be reached but i can feel it close! i got myself a good set of forgiving game improvement irons and a mallet putter with an oversized grip this year, plus some wedges that weren’t from the 1990s. right now i am going to the range exclusively with my putter, 52, 56 and pw to practice my green game, chipping and pitching, commiting to my short game so as to break 90 consistently soon, since my tee shot and 2nd shot are quite consistent for now. i really feel as if the key is within 120 yds, so that is my focus. thank you matt for this! golf is so much more enjoyable now (even more so with my cosmic playa polo and bucket hat)
You need to make a book, your teaching is great. Also would love to see all teaching videos put into a big 1, 2 or 3 hour video so I could listen like a podcast.
I always get a chuckle out of folks who say my SC200+ is useless because it isn't a GC Quad or Trackman. It gives me plenty accurate enough data (especially outdoors where I use it 90% of the time) and has helped a lot dialing in wedges. Thanks to that little monitor I have about three dead on distances with each wedge so from 100 yds in I'm getting very comfy.
I usually note how many three-putts or worse after a round. I also use a very broad statistic I call a "wasted shot" which is a catch all for all shots that are mishits and lead me to not hit in green/fairway in regulation. I noticed over three rounds where I scored -4 , E, +5 that my best round had the fewest threeputts, and the most wasted shots and that my worst round had the most three putts and fewest wasted shots, and the even round was inbetween those in terms of those stats. Led me to practice more putting
Taking your cue I surveyed the home course from space and delimited the Approach Zone (AZ) for each hole Low stress territory the size of Arizona & within range of any one of the favzies And in the event of an untoward event, I marked the spots for The EZChip as well We’re going to Arizona Playa BA
Breaking barriers comes from practice which’s builds confidence and taking that confidence to the course. Believe in yourself and never talk down on yourself. You can do it.
I also have a Swing Caddie Sc300i but it seems extremely conservative with my distances, especially with my irons. If I use the club according to Sc300i on the course, I end up in the forest behind the green. I mostly have to take almost 2 clubs less. Not sure if its just my weird swing..
Matt, I struggle with Wedge Partial. When I start practicing Wedge Parcial, I start thinking about what I’m supposed to be doing that my body forgets to turn and shank city. I can be doing fine for 25 shots then boom, can’t hit another ball the rest of the day. I have some at home putting drills that have absolutely changed my putting. We could build a library of drills.
I have mental problems with some courses. A few weeks back I played one course and it has always been a tough course for me and before I even started it got in my head. I shot over a 100, my worst score of the season. My next three rounds I played on different courses and went 85, 85, 80. I really need to stop thinking about how I played a course in the past and just hit the ball.
Please bring FUN into the system. The rest is well understood. I am not going to earn money with my game but I want to enjoy the time on the course and have fun.
So, I shot a career round the other day at a fun course. I didn't do anything stupid, hit solid shots and simply executed when it counted. i made my short (under 8ft) putts for 5 birdies and only made one bogey. My driver is solid, but it was my iron play that was crisp and that allowed me to hit some approaches close and make the birdies. The next day, I shot 79 and it felt like an 88 even though i birdies 1 and 17.
posted on instagram but i didnt film that round. I need to sometimes play good golf, so I don't film. When I film, I bet I never make a hole in one again. If I don't film, more will come
Question: I use an app on my phone that also connects to sensors on my clubs to track distances. I have the average distance as well as what the app calls a "smart range" for each club. Now, this helps me on the course, but I have to always keep in mind that apps like that track distance from one shot to the next, which means it's total distance and not carry. I know carry is important, but am not sure how to get good carry numbers without investing more in a launch monitor or paying for time in a fitting bay. Is there any other way to learn, derive, or measure carry distances to better use the data to choose clubs?
Look at your pitch marks whenever you re at your ball. Sometimes you won't see them but look around especially on the green or arou d the green. You can compare and see how much rollout you're getting. On practice rounds, attempt to clear something you are unsur eyou can clear. Hit 2-3 balls and see. If you can't clear it, then you know. If you can, then you know. Experiment and TAKE NOTES
Onward and upward..not accepting one's ability to adapt, change and get better leaves you standing still. As an amateur myself the biggest thing I lose from time to time is the fun factor. When did amateur golf get serious? No doubt we all want to improve our game...all the time, but when does the road to improvement cause the setback. My fault is the disconnect as to why I started playing as a young man. The love of the game. Play on playas.
Stroke gained exists - but it's not the thing you should focus on. You gotta focus on the process (i.e. sharpen your iron game, practice the game inside 150, keeping the ball in play, stay control of things you can control such as decision making and emotion, get the ball on the green regardless of where you are, being fully committed to the shot, and plan your way around the golf course the best to your ability). I've never heard Tiger or Rory talking about getting stroke gained metric to positive, they talk about boring stuffs like taking one shot at the time, staying committed to the golf shot, and keeping the ball in play, this includes reducing damage to bogey (might be par in par 5(s) or inside wedge distance).
In competition just do whatever you got to do to get the ball in the hole... Its amazing what a few hundred bucks will do for someone's ego on the tee.
"Inside wedge range," yes subject to being honest what your own "wedge range," is realistically. For example even though I CAN hit my 58° 100 yards with a max effort swing, if I try to do so consistently it's a loser. At that range I should be taking SW or even a chippy GW. Your "wedge range," is made up of the yardages and clubs and shot combinations that gives you the best chance to GIOTG.
So I have bought in to this philosophy 100% but I'm not really seeing any difference in scoring. That's when I realized I still have 30+ putts per round and on short easy pitches, I'm not getting it close enough, often enough to one putt. Need to work on putts inside 10 feet to get to the next level
GOLF SIDEKICK, I think you should Make a WADDAPLAYA FORUMS so we can all chat with eachother Ill make it, I am a Software engineer if you like.. I think it would be a great community addition
Friend.. I hope I’m not the only one that feels as if your speaking specifically for them and their game. Planting feathers growing birdies baby, ezpzlmnsqze.

I broke 80 for the first time last week. Feels good playa. I can directly credit your 3x6 (6 groups of 3 holes) system as a huge reason why. Forever grateful 🙏🏻
Biggest change for my game was concentrating on my game, not the other people i play with. Stopped really comparing my game to theirs.

Absolutely fantastic video. I really enjoy trying it out tomorrow. Really enjoying your perspective on the mental and course management game.
More of these please they are therapeutic 🙏🏻
Another great video Playa.
Also a dagga plantation and Matrix quotes.
Class.
You be the baus bru.
After saying Wedge parchell I think we both lost it at same time , great stuff . Great advice !
Love that this isn’t about “fixing your swing”. Who’s got time for that? I only play occasionally…these concepts make the game more fun!
Waking up and seeing this uploaded beats Christmas
Spoken like a true baus. Thank you for using the wisdom of Morpheus.... Mind set, focus.. Thank you Matt.

Hit the stress free shot in the moment. Do something drastically different ot what you normally would in that situation

Matt very excited about this, sent you an e-mail. Would love to help with this effort. It has great potential!
Playa can you share the list of practice priorities if you are low on time.
1-4 foot putts
50% 9 iron or PW shots on the range
4-6 foot putts
Chipping 11 ball drill
In that order
