I am 73 and have been teaching golf in Northern California for more than 45 years. I like your style of teaching and demonstrating the 80 yard shot. You have a direct and no nonsense approach which I really enjoy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I watched this vid , Top 5 Tips for the 80 Yard Golf Shot, about 6 months ago. I've been practicing it ever since, and it literally "turned my game around". I've found I have this shot about 6 or 7 times a round. I'm now confident with it. I am saving 4 or 5 shots a round!! Thanks MSG!!
When faced with the 80yd shot a lot of times I'll decide to play it safe and layup to something like 35yds. Sometimes I'll decide to skull it 160yds over the green. Rarely do I decide to hit on the green.
This guy adds a great deal of enthusiasm and a bit of humour but he certainly knows his stuff , absolute pearls of golfing wisdom , thanks keep them coming.
This is one of the most helpful golf videos I have ever watched. Perfect this simple swing- you can use it on every single club in your bag. It will not maximize distance, but if you master this shot, you can be hitting greens from 150-180 yards with confidence. Take a little more club, simple 60% controlled swing- beautiful. Thank you Matt!!!
I know this video is old but I hope people watch this video I like to thank you @mrshortgame I watch your 100 yard 80 yards and 60 yards videos and I must say wow what a difference I always had issues from this distance in golf I’m a low 80s player but after watching your videos my last 4 rounds 77-78-78-79 thanks again MrSG👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 sent this video out to all my buddy’s
I needed this, the 80-100 shot has been killing me lately. Trying to take full swings and getting me into a lot of trouble ! I will work on this one! Thanks 🙏🏼
FANTASTIC lesson! You make learning fun. Your style makes me as a learner feel less anxiety regarding these kind of shots. Shots that trouble most average golfers like me. Bravo to your style of coaching! Bravo to your tips and knowledge! "THANK YOU!!!"
Your Videos are the best golf instruction videos I ever seen. You literally break down the entire shot and/ or training session step 2 step, from top to bottom. Super legit man. Thank you for the help
I have watched many of your videos in the past 9 Months, from pitching ,to short games, or on how to hit your irons, im playing my best golf in 15 years, your videos and how you come across are a game changer!!!!you are the real deal thank you.
Another great video. This could also apply to hitting in the wind. Club up, smoother stroke, keeps the spin down and keep the club low. Love your videos.
the weight forward is the best tip i have seen for wedge shots on the internet. This video and another one said it. It pretty much fixed my wedge shots
Mr. Short Game, you have made a huge difference in my game, from driver to putter. The boyz are handing me cash more often than not at the end of the round. Thanks!
My sentiments exactly... I don't I dropped like 10 strokes for real in my games from the driver video. I owe Mr Short game some dough now... Ur an amazing teacher and I've more from u without u seeing my swing then teachers that have seen me in person and I have paid... Thanks a bunch
Can’t believe there aren’t more subscribers on this channel. By far the best instructional stuff that is easy to apply and works. Everything I have ever tried from here actually works and works well. Love the content hands down best golf channel out there.
Man what a great video. I almost ruined my swing by starting out with videos that teach you to strike down on the ball and forward shaft lean and all that crap. It really almost made me think I could never get better. Keep posting the simple videos!!
From the short grass, each tip is such a good reminder, especially #3 (keeping it shallow). For us that have played in soft & wet conditions, and have come down a bit too steep [with a mid/low bounce grind], we know that super-fun outcome.
Great tips Matt. I used your tips yesterday at a challenging (6083, 70.4/133) golf course that I played for the first time. I was successful on at lease 80% of my approach shots that saved me a lot of strokes. Thank you so much for your excellent, down to earth, instruction!
Practised this for the first time today, work to be done, but went very well. Instant solid feel when I got it right. I even went up to a 9 iron for 100 yards. I think this is the way to go, crazy trying to hit full wedges, too easy to lose control. Really like this one, many thanks
I use this shot a whole lot...as I have a bad left knee. Most of my iron shots are hit this way...it helps me make good contact with the ball without putting a lot of stress on my left side. I may use an 8 iron from 120 yards...but I hit it low, under the wind we always seem to deal with in central Texas...and accurate. From inside 100 yards, I use my Gap Wedge...or even my 9 iron if I am in the rough, which I call my "Baby 9 iron" shot. It's low, accurate, and over the years it's become one of my money making shots! Great advice...people...go practice it on the range...you'll save shots using this technique...and find yourself putting for birdies more often!!
Needing this video after watching your driver tips videos, after playing a round where my confidence and performance with the driver was the best ive ever had, i realized i need alot of work on approach shots
Like most peeps I have watched a few golf instruction videos in my time but this guy is just the best, I love the way he breaks things down into building blocks and he is actually interesting..... you know when you you were at school there was always one teacher that inspired you, well I am truly inspired! Some peeps have it and this chap is just got his on style, what charming presenter...ten out of 10
Buddy I found your channel years ago when you instructed from the chicken coop ! I always need to come back to your videos from this epoch in time to get back my short game and it works for me .

Great lesson, I really needed it. I was struggling a lot with that distance in my short game.
Watched this mid-week. Played the medal today and hit six of these 80yds approach shots during my round without practising it. Won the comp in difficult conditions. This used to be a shot I struggled with. Your a good coach and its appreciated.
Hi..thanks for the tips especially with taking the club behind you. I was taking the club almost straight up which really through off the ball flight direction. It worked for me, thanks again, Mike
Great tips for reducing strokes! BTY, I have that exact same Mizuno stand bag with some forged JXP 919's in it. Live those clubs! I am also fortunate to have a very large yard with a 60-yard hitting area, so I will use your instructions and dial it back a bit. Great video, Sir!
I appreciate all the improvements in my Golf game that are directly related with your teaching. My scores keep on getting lower. Thank you! you´re unique!
Just loved your 5 tips for the 80 yard shot, shall practice this excellent instruction and look forward to taking it to the course the next time I play. Thanks and Cheers, Rod.
I really like your approach to the game and teaching. You're upbeat, encouraging and have a sense of humor. I love the advice in this video. HOWEVER, a challenge we all have is feel vs real. You make a thoughtful and deliberate effort to show the short length of swing necessary for this shot. You demonstrate where your hands should NOT be (high) compared to where they should be (about waist high) with more club. But if you look at your actual swing when you demonstrated the shot, you, like most of us, you went well beyond the practice swing. Maybe 3/4 for you, but it was easily a full swing for most players. I wish I could post a screenshot of the two different positions to show the difference. Just some constructive criticism. I'd love to see a follow up video where you challenge yourself to really hit that abbreviated swing. I'm positive you can do it. That in and of itself is a great lesson for most golfers. Cheers!
Arthur Bekerman tried your 80 yard tip at the range and took it to the course ... maaaaannnnn!!!! Thank thank you .. I now have more confidence in my short game
Started watching after seeing you on Golfholics and have to say I’m really enjoying your instructional videos and your energy is a joy..keep it up..good job 👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Thanks Mr. Short Game , I've been working on my game for well over 30 years and this is good stuff you are sending us , and us golfers need to remember that if we want to Improve , remember this , ( You Only GET Out Of This Game What You Put INTO It ) thanks again .
Love your videos. They're great for average/decent golfers like me. Plus, your videos remind me of the old Blue's Clues show that I watched with my daughter!
First time I have watched your feed, but I am really impressed by your swing and teaching style. Some of what you said I already do, but I will add the rest. I enjoyed your lesson. Low hands and 70% on front foot. These will be trialed. Thanks D.
Another great video. This distance is one I find difficult and have been standing open and cutting the ball up. This looks like a much more consistent technique.
This is great! I recently improved my driver and long mid irons to a whole other level but my game inside of 100 yards which used to be what I would fall back on with bad drives bad irons has just left me. I realize what swing I use for those other irons I used to struggle with does not work on the wedges.. I consistently hit my 9 iron 125 to 135, but my sand gap and PW are all over the place. No consistently at all. What I after watching this is I am better of clubbing up like you said. 90 Yards is my full swing SW with good contact. Lately because I have no confidence in my wedge came I have been using a Gap wedge on those shots and more often than not hit it short or hit it long. I think a better play now is just go to PW and just not hit it hard. That whole thing about clubbing up makes so much sense now. Thanks
This video helped me win a tournament yesterday... it is so important to tune your wedge shots, yet not a shot you would typically practice at the range... very helpful video! Thanks!
Matt, long time subscriber here. Been with you since the beginning. You've always put out great content and this is no exception. Keep up the great work, brother.
Great video! ... I'm struggling with my pitch shots and want to learn this technique of keeping hands low and turning hips. Taking more club makes sense!
Awesome video, can't wait to practice and commit to this 80m strategy. My playing buddies are going to be super envious when I stick it close every time.
Another solid video here Matt! I struggle with that distance all the time. Between this and the Hybrid video from last week, your batting .1000% my man!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Hit a decent drive the other day...when I went to play my 80 yard shot I started to hear Matt's pumping music in my head.. absolutely hilarious. Hit a good wedge and escaped with a par! Thanks Matt :)
Great energy and motivational style. I like the concept of choosing one club more for control and keeping the weight stable left for shorter shots. I do all pitches same style with little movement and 90-120y with the 3/4 Swing approach. Thanks for your videos.
I absolutely enjoy your enthusiasm I only wish I could play a round of golf with you. I am not a good golfer at all. I'm a 25 handicap but your enthusiasm is definitely on point keep it up buddy.
This is Fantastic!
I can’t wait to screw it up entirely tomorrow on the Range
remember think high. high scores, win game!

I feel like I know you. 😂😂😂😂😂

That’s funny but we all do it!
Lay up? Why not putt it :)
Thinking your way around the course.
This guy adds a great deal of enthusiasm and a bit of humour but he certainly knows his stuff , absolute pearls of golfing wisdom , thanks keep them coming.
I've been working on this shot for YEARS. Watched this video yesterday and finally (finally!) nailed it. Thanks dude.

Really like your humor while simplifying what you have to do. You are a great teacher and enjoy your methods.
Another good video. Thankfully MSG had an extra cup of coffee!
Your presentation method is getting into next level. I enjoy these videos and I learn a lot. Master class. Swing low...to go low.
Your my favorite instructor. I watch a lot of instructional golf videos on this channel and your the best. Thank you for doing them!
I know this video is old but I hope people watch this video I like to thank you @mrshortgame I watch your 100 yard 80 yards and 60 yards videos and I must say wow what a difference I always had issues from this distance in golf I’m a low 80s player but after watching your videos my last 4 rounds 77-78-78-79 thanks again MrSG👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 sent this video out to all my buddy’s

Matt thank you for reviving my game with the pushing hands out on backswing no more fat iron shots I'm in love with golf again!
Awesome! Mr. ShortGame, there hasn´t been one video that you are clear, precise and with a well rounded communication.
the weight forward is the best tip i have seen for wedge shots on the internet. This video and another one said it. It pretty much fixed my wedge shots
Weight forward actually works good for all iron shots.
Mr. Short Game, you have made a huge difference in my game, from driver to putter. The boyz are handing me cash more often than not at the end of the round. Thanks!
My sentiments exactly... I don't I dropped like 10 strokes for real in my games from the driver video. I owe Mr Short game some dough now... Ur an amazing teacher and I've more from u without u seeing my swing then teachers that have seen me in person and I have paid... Thanks a bunch
I have used this with longer shots as well. One of my fave golf videos. When your aim is off sync this is a good way to go.
Can’t believe there aren’t more subscribers on this channel. By far the best instructional stuff that is easy to apply and works. Everything I have ever tried from here actually works and works well. Love the content hands down best golf channel out there.
Got to admit, dig this guys style of teaching.

Bit quirky and hyperactive but good clear advice.
Best instructor, most useful instruction.
you my friend are a fantastic teacher, you make golf a lot more pleasurable.
This is the best golf channel on youtube.
Man what a great video. I almost ruined my swing by starting out with videos that teach you to strike down on the ball and forward shaft lean and all that crap. It really almost made me think I could never get better. Keep posting the simple videos!!
This was likely the most epic tip video I’ve ever seen. Personality is so authentic and real. Big fan already 🤙

SG is the greatest you tube coach on the planet ....Period
Practised this for the first time today, work to be done, but went very well. Instant solid feel when I got it right. I even went up to a 9 iron for 100 yards. I think this is the way to go, crazy trying to hit full wedges, too easy to lose control. Really like this one, many thanks
Like your aggressive approach to learning .... don’t take it that far is gold.... great job .......
This video has helped me more than ALL other videos I've watched! Thank you.
Really connect with your teaching style and tenacity

This is exactly the technique that I started to work on. You've provided great visuals and explanation.
Fantastic, saw the video yesterday, practice today, better of one shot by hole, 90% success, thanks a lot from France.
I appreciate all the improvements in my Golf game that are directly related with your teaching. My scores keep on getting lower. Thank you! you´re unique!
Used your comments today in Orlando FL. Shot an 83 which is about 6 strokes off my normal score. Love all of your videos. Thank you
Just loved your 5 tips for the 80 yard shot, shall practice this excellent instruction and look forward to taking it to the course the next time I play. Thanks and Cheers, Rod.

You are the best instructor Mr. Shortgame 👍👍👍👍
Such clear and simplified instructions… thank you, you are the best!
I love your vids. People won’t get you unless they watch more, which I would highly recommend. Thanks for ALL your info, cause I watch many.
Can you save some coffee for the rest of us??? Love your energy and the refreshing smart approach.
Good video again. I like to think of this shot as like chunking a pail of water to empty it. It’s a feel kind of thing for me. Thanks for the tip.
Love the music in the background - more like this, please!
Arthur Bekerman tried your 80 yard tip at the range and took it to the course ... maaaaannnnn!!!! Thank thank you .. I now have more confidence in my short game
Love you, Matt. Yes, there are no shortcuts to success. It takes what it takes.
Solid information conveyed clearly and more important,quickly!
Started watching after seeing you on Golfholics and have to say I’m really enjoying your instructional videos and your energy is a joy..keep it up..good job 👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Thanks Mr. Short Game , I've been working on my game for well over 30 years and this is good stuff you are sending us , and us golfers need to remember that if we want to Improve , remember this , ( You Only GET Out Of This Game What You Put INTO It ) thanks again .
Love these tips! Im always thinking that the shots inside 150 yards are precision shots. That means swinging easier for more control.
Love your videos. They're great for average/decent golfers like me. Plus, your videos remind me of the old Blue's Clues show that I watched with my daughter!
What a great lesson! I tried it yesterday and hit consistent great shots. What was hard for me is now easy.
Thank you so much. Just exactly the video I needed right now. Short game tips 👍👍👍
This guy is an awesome coach I coach HS Track and Field,HS and College Rowing and HS Nordic Ski,he knows movement and has a great teaching style.
First time I have watched your feed, but I am really impressed by your swing and teaching style. Some of what you said I already do, but I will add the rest. I enjoyed your lesson. Low hands and 70% on front foot. These will be trialed. Thanks D.
Great lesson. Demonstrating the subtle nuisances that make the difference in consistency the way you do is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Brilliant, thank-you one of the best I've seen and a big help !
Another great video. This distance is one I find difficult and have been standing open and cutting the ball up. This looks like a much more consistent technique.
Another good video Matt ! Thanks for your time to do these videos. My game has improved because of your efforts !
Your big on a shallow approach with a low hands back swing on this and your other videos. Basically just rotate back. This really helps me, thanks!
This is great! I recently improved my driver and long mid irons to a whole other level but my game inside of 100 yards which used to be what I would fall back on with bad drives bad irons has just left me.

Super video Matty boy so rich in proper technique!🙏🏻
This video helped me win a tournament yesterday... it is so important to tune your wedge shots, yet not a shot you would typically practice at the range... very helpful video! Thanks!
Awesome tips to keep the discipline for the shot 🙏
Great teaching, very practical. I like your video a lot, thank you very much
Tremendous video . Really breaking down how to achieve the correct swing for this distance!
Matt, long time subscriber here. Been with you since the beginning. You've always put out great content and this is no exception. Keep up the great work, brother.
I birdied my first time out . Thanks Mr Short Game!
That's the exact distance I'm strugling with. Great video Matt!
I like how this guy explains things and is really into it!
Excellent distillation of the 80 yard pitch
Great video! ... I'm struggling with my pitch shots and want to learn this technique of keeping hands low and turning hips. Taking more club makes sense!
love love the lesson!!!, right to the point, I totally get it, now where do you teach?????? I am a senior and need your kind of teaching! thank you
Awesome video, can't wait to practice and commit to this 80m strategy. My playing buddies are going to be super envious when I stick it close every time.
Good one as usual!!
Can you talk about why you use Volvic 3 and compare it to the Volvic 4 please? Thanks!
Tried this today. Worked out well for me. I’ll keep practicing 🙏🏾
Another solid video here Matt! I struggle with that distance all the time. Between this and the Hybrid video from last week, your batting .1000% my man!!! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for the great tips! On a level any golfer can relate too.
That was one of my best laughs in a while....thanks!
Just tested this on the range 20 in a row dead straight! Thank you!
muchas gracias señor por tus consejos soy nuevo en el deporte y e aprendido mucho de ty gracias
Hit a decent drive the other day...when I went to play my 80 yard shot I started to hear Matt's pumping music in my head.. absolutely hilarious. Hit a good wedge and escaped with a par! Thanks Matt :)
Stroke saving comes from 100 yards in. While you have to get off the teebox, you score from 100 yards in. Excellent tips.
I can’t believe how effective this was. Practiced it and just crushed it on the course using these tips.
This video is absolutely true.
Great energy and motivational style. I like the concept of choosing one club more for control and keeping the weight stable left for shorter shots. I do all pitches same style with little movement and 90-120y with the 3/4 Swing approach. Thanks for your videos.
I absolutely enjoy your enthusiasm I only wish I could play a round of golf with you. I am not a good golfer at all. I'm a 25 handicap but your enthusiasm is definitely on point keep it up buddy.
Great tips sir! It made a difference this past weekend.
