      Love seeing my two fav golf youtubers communicating with one another. Got my handicap down to a 7.3 this year. Below 10 for the first time thanks to you both. If you ever make it to CB to play Cabot Cliffs or Cabot Links, let me know, I'd love to watch!

    Matt, just wanted to say thanks for the content. I’ve been playing golf for 45 years and my handicap had inflated from 5 to 12 in recent years, mainly because I was still trying to play like a younger man. Your content made me reconsider my approach to playing and has helped me get back to a 5 this year. I’ve shared your content with friends and one in particular has broken 80 for the first time ever by following your advice. Golf is fun again! Your contributions to the golf community are highly valued. Thank you.

It all came together recently, went from a 34.5 hcp to 26 with one card, won the trophy, net 54, made some of the gimps at the club furious. Pure joy. Aiming for 18 next season. Let’s have it!!!

    I’ve been out of the golf game for about ten years after my game tanked after some lessons. I’ve come back to it as my dad is getting older and it’s all he loves to do. I’ve been watching your videos for weeks and your content is GREAT! I’d grown up just trying to hit the longest club that every shot would allow…and my scores showed it. I’ve learned a new way to approach each hole and find myself wanting to improve again. Wishing you rapid recovery and sending good thoughts your way. Hope to see you keep putting out this helpful material in future.

They always bring me joy, regardless of how you play, because I'm always learning something. I know exactly how you felt at 19:54, I have these same thoughts when I go play in my rec softball league. After not playing for 4 months, we played tonight and I am honestly upset I even went because a previous injury flared up again. I hope your pain subsides soon! Take care of yourself playa!

    Matt, glad to see you back. You have inspired many playas to be better and not stress out or take ourselves too seriously. I played today and hit a par and finished with 2 birdies on a 9 hole course. That is unheard of for me. I may get one par in a total 18 hole round and rarely ever a birdie so today was unusual. Of course, I had my usual double bogeys but I am happy with my overall game. You did that thru your channel and your authenticity. Thank you, playa. I can tell your heart is heavy so will pray for you for whatever you are going thru. Just wanted you to know you are having a real impact in people's life and golf game. I am still trying to break 100. Soon, I think
