I'm a 12 handicap and my buddy is a 4. His short game and bunker play are far superior to mine and his ballstriking much more consistent on average as you would expect. There are days that I beat him, and that is when I'm hitting all of my stock yardages and tons of fairways and greens with solid putting and typically those days I break 80 or am right around it while his game is a bit off in turn. I would say the best way to lower your handicap is to practice a lot especially your stock full shots with every club so it's automatic and simple once you hit that groove on the course. Short game is important but if you are not blessed with much touch or have the chip yips just focus on getting your ball on the green when you miss your approach the safest way you know how with a given club and two-putt bogey at worst. Aim away from bunkers if your bunker game is shaky, including on your drive. Leave yourself around 100 yards out on layup shots and short par 4s to get a full shot in. Aim with margin of error on the drive and approaches to the fattest areas with consideration to your natural shot shape. Manage the course and recovery shots in a realistic way to your game. Always be aware of speed vs. line on the greens and accept that bogey is not always a bad score...it's about saving strokes not and blowing up to doubles, triples, or worse. In essence, always play to your strengths while putting some thought into the highest percentage way to play the course based on those strengths and that will breed confidence to help drop that handicap lower when you are clicking out there.
Awesome video. I was a 16 handicap for a long time for a lot of the reasons sidekick talks about to much thinking between shots I couldn't hit or aiming for the pin instead of just hitting it to the center of the green. I now have gotten my handicap down to a 9 with a lot of practice first and foremost. Course management is big aiming points are big ALIGNMENT is crucial to hitting your target pick a spot 40 yards or so in front of you then to the spot where your target is pre shot routine playing with confidence to minimize some of the bad shots because they are going to happen we all try to emulate what we see on tv when we watch the pros and it's never going to happen play your game your strengths and build off that
Something I notice between how Matt and Mo play pitch shots (brought on by watching the first hole here): Mo has much less hand involvement that enables better striking.
Would love to know more about you. It makes me want to watch more when I get to know the content creator. Maybe some things like your age, how did you get to be in the country, how did you start golfing and maybe what age etc..do you do anything else for money.? Thanks for the great content. I really enjoy it.
Watching this think the main difference between a 15 handicap and a single digit handicap is the game inside PW range. (assuming a 15 handicap keeps ball in play)
I'm not certain, but I think what he is saying is if the head does hit square, you get some hook with your loft. the loft will push it up because of loft and left because the error.
used to play cricket, field hockey at provincial level. 100m sprinting, once could run a 100m in 10:50-10:60 Dabbled in squash Now, just the gym and golf - will add something new in 2023
@@GolfSidekick awesome! I was going to guess at cricket. Squash is my main sport. I think any kind of racket/ball sport definitely helps give a head start in golf. Although I still find it easier to hit a moving ball than a still one! 😁
Good golf is basically minimising the severity of and number of terrible shots. A good shot (except a great putt ) rarely shaves a shot off. A bad shot slmost always adds 1 + on...
All you need to know about swing weight...it all depends on how you personally react to a club that is either heavier, lighter or a standard s/weight. The one that you can swing fastest and still get a consistent flight is the one for you. Like most things in golf... it's totally subjective and loaded with caveats! 😉👍
cut the equivalent expense out of your life to allow once a week golf usually it is alcohol, mind-altering substances, processed junk foods, expensive meals and coffee, subscriptions to pointless stuff like netflix and subscriptions to stuff you forgot about
@@gregorycampbell9386 Personally i find if i just take the clubs in the backyard once a day during spring and summer, swing 'em around a bit and then maybe chip into a target I can keep the "feel" going in between rounds and show up more confident when i play! Learned from Matty how the way you think truly impacts your game, he couldn't be more spot on. But also, cut out the BS and enable yourself to play. Maybe play cheap courses @ twilight and play a few balls if possible. I've also been known to show up to courses to use the practice greens for 45 min and leave.
I’m more interested in learning about what we would “NOT LIKE” to know about you Baus!! Must try one of the majestic burgers at this course!! #waddavegan
5 handicap is average score of 82 Where can you shave 8 shots? Only you know What is a good putter? Not putt count. Tell me more. How many greens do you hit? You need about 9 - where do you miss when you miss? What are you hitting from the tee? Are you allowing 2nd shots at the green? Inside wedge range is where the scratch game is made. Are you a killer inside wedge range (
What would I like to know about the Golf sidekick? Hmm… I got it! What does Matt look like without his hat & sunglasses? Unless of course he’s in the witness protection program!😊
he has a lot of potential but need to get rid of negative thoughts, improve the commitment, play the correct shot in the correct situatiin and two putt maximim he will be a 7 handicap
2 part question: "How did you get so cool, and how can I be as cool as you" ;) Love the content boiiiiiii! But really though, what do/did you do for a living prior to getting this channel going?
Driver on 5? Unlike you, Matt. 7 wood to 54* range and a putt for bird beats Driver into the plantation with awkward punch into the hill followed by chip and (missed) putt. Dr. heal thy self! P. S. I do the same (stupid) thing!
@@GolfSidekick I get it. Mad respect, bro! You don't need me to tell you to lay up short and hit your comfy iron in. I take advice from YOU, not the other way 'round.
I shot 81 on my nemesis course two days before Christmas. Never broke 90 there before. The difference? Your advice about hitting reasonable shots within my capabilities. Hit only one green, but chipped and putt well. All credit to you and your videos, Matt!

@@GolfSidekick butler?, he talks in the first tense, therefore I, me etc, sound awful anyway, sound slike my mothers telephone voice, my wifes an English teacher and thought it strange
I always get a lot of crap for saying this, but I personally never understood the golf handicap. I just always figured the game should be played straight up like pretty much every other game. Like if you jump into a pickup basketball game with guys obviously way better than you then do get the basket lowered a foot for you every time you get possession of the ball? Or is every shot you make worth one point more than the other players? No because that would be stupid. Last time I played 18 holes par 72 with my uncle who is a "16 handicap", I shot an honest 79 and he shot an honest 91, but because of the handicap crap he still brags about beating me 🙄 like what?? Sorry again because I know my whole opinion on handicaps upsets a lot of people, I just wanted to share my view on it...
So basically you want everyone that has a handicap over 10 to stop playing because under your "strange" system they could never win a comp and any plus marker would be virtually unbeatable.. That would also include you not being able to win as shooting 79 would never be good enough to beat plus markers as they tend to mostly shoot under par which is 10 plus shots better then your 79. Golf numbers would die off because that's not how it's supposed to be played as the handicap system is designed to benefit everyone not just a select few. He beat you on handicap and you beat him of scratch that time and the next time could be completely different for both so it can't get any simpler then that.👍
this is why we have 'scratch leagues' so you can all compete shot for shot with people with no handicaps. usually cut off is a 5 handicap the handicap system is one of my favorite things about golf. getting a balance between fairness and competitiveness is difficult. if i want to play shot for shot no handicaps, i just play against a 4 handicap or lower
@@GolfSidekick It's also why there is scratch pennant where you play against an opponent "off the stick" which is generally in different grades but mainly played by single figure golfers. First time I played it I got hammered by a 2 marker who was five under after 12 holes.😳
i will have to cut out speciality coffee drinks which they put condensed milk and sugar into and also bread - can't stop breading i will do it when i want to get shredded mixing bread and fatty meats and lots of butter is not a great combo hamburgers and pizza also too much lately
none of them is a 3 -handicapper.. total BS.. looking at their ball striking i can kick their ass any course any day.. by the way, my handicap is 10ish.

You can find some good deals on the internet many times
Find a 9 hole course around you and they are usually $20-26$ a round. But the driving range is the best place to start out
