Been following the way of the playa. Was so satisfying yesterday when all 3 in my 4-some hit driver, all missed the fairway (2 into the other fairway, 1 lost a ball into the trees) and I hit the "safe" 7-wood and ended up left side of the fairway, 98 yards out. Got questioned why I didn't hit driver and answered, results speak for themselves, didn't need to hit driver, play the whole, play from the green back. Hit the GIR and two put for par, shot my lowest 9 holes with a 44 that included three, three putts!
So weird seeing u without the bucket hat
Twinbrother actor
I dont like this much change
You beat me to this comment. So weird. Agreed.
He gone Hollywood on us
I have been watching your videos for several years now and I can say that it has been the single best thing to ever happen to my golf game. I have played for over 30 years . I was struggling bad and trying everything under the sun. Finally after getting my temper out of the way and losing my ego did I finally go from in the 100's to the 80's in just a few months and actually shot in the high 70's a few times last year. Wadda teacher!!!
Beast mode
Your videos have completely changed my game. I tell everyone I play with to watch your channel. I went from mid 90’s to low 80’s in several months, and can’t believe how simple it was to improve. Mostly cut back on making stupid decisions.
Great to hear playa. It’s the decision making that sometimes crushes us
One of the most valuable things I've learned from The Baus is how to better manage my expectations and keep my ego in check. I would always play expecting to shoot at or near my absolute best scores and would get furious with myself when I mostly didn't get close to my best.
He's helped me see how unrealistic these expectations are. No golfer on the planet can play their A game consistently.
I started playing golf again this summer at age 60 and watching your videos have been such an encouragement.
As the self taught golfer. He is saying the truth 😊😊.
Your insight and relaxed approach have allowed me to enjoy a sport that I've loved, but used to find frustrating. Now I just love it. Peace on the course has allowed me to just have fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now i take my 4 iron off the tee and consistently either out drive or out position my playing partners instead of slicing my driver into the woods. Your videos and mentality has taken around 8 strokes off my score. Broke 50 for the first time this weekend. Shot a 49 par 36! Thanks for everything boyfriend
I went back to only playing with 5 clubs after creeping back up over 100 after getting close to breaking 90 (92) and went from losing ~6-12 balls a round to having only lost 3 balls in the last 2 rounds and I shot 98-> then 96. I'm hoping to get even closer to 90 this weekend. I hit my 4 hybrid off the tee and it's ALWAYS in play and it goes ~205. Epic. My other clubs are- 6i, 8i, pw, sw + putter.
Hey Matt. Sure you hear this all the time but much of what you teach is applicable for everybody. My son plays college golf and I’m an 8 h’cap and mentally what you say works and helps a broad range on players and not just high handicappers. We both watch all you produce. Thx.
I agree. I’m an 8 handicap and all of Matty’s sayings keep in in the game.
This may be the video I send people to on Reddit. Is it going to be in sacred lectures playlist?
I needed this reset. Back to basics and swingtweaks. I got a hitting station with an R10 in my garage. I am finally getting to the point where my ball flight is respectably consistent. I never realized how much I was swaying off the ball until swingtweaks showed me!
Hey Bruce! Glad we could help! Swaying is hard to spot yourself but once you see it... you can't unsee it. :)
Nice Brucey
Matt I love the new hat setup with normal billed caps
My new name Bill Cap
I bought a load of cheap balls, I only use those now, noticed that I really got used to putting with them . I find if I use a lot of different balls they all react a little different on the greens. Not really good enough to notice a difference on the longer shots, but a consistent putting ball has helped me.
Hey Matty (aka Baus!). Loving your recent content. Round today was exactly a hundo so didn't break the magic 100 today but... was really pleased that I played smart all the way and know where I could easily shave shots on another day. Good club selection, no just trying to hit it as far as possible, playing to GIOTG rather than pin hunting and playing to my par target not the course one.
Keep putting out the great vids
Shooting in the mid to low 80's the last two months and having more fun than ever. Your videos are a great asset to the golf community and have helped me tremendously. Thank you!
I watch dozens of technique golf youtubers... 99.9% of which I don't implement, they're just interesting. But there is only one Playa in Chief who teaches how to play golf (not how to play golf swing). Actually there are a couple others... Genevieve Ling and Brian Fitzgerald who are into strategic mindful golf. But Matt, you have taught so many people the WOTP, thanks so much for all you've given us. Think I'll plant some feathers tomorrow :)
Thank you so much for your golfing videos as I am now playing to the way you describe, and my handicap is coming down ... please keep up the good work as I will keep following
Outstanding advice on how to manage your game on a golf course. 👍🏾
I really the way you come across and explain different situations, I have been playing quite a lot of years and still find you way of teaching very informative lol r&g x
Thank you Matt, I need your words of advice to keep me grounded!
Of all of the golf video’s on TH-cam, you have the best going away. I am not going to shoot under par by watching an 8 minute video! Most of the video’s are hogwash! Here is an example of what you do right, Matt. I hardly ever used my 4 or 5 iron because I never hit them well. Now I do hit them well. Why? Because I don’t hit them as hard as I used to. Your advice to swing easy has helped me immensely, now I use my 3 hybrid, 4 iron and 5 iron all the time because I swing easy and hit good shots. Lastly, your video’s are the only that I know of that recommend golf course management. Using an 8 iron or a 9 iron even when you are 170 yards out make sense because you won’t hit the ball into a sand trap or into the water. In other words avoidance can and does pay dividends! Many thanks!
That’s the truth
Superb channel!!
Thanks!
Exelent advise. Love the videos.
Another awesome video, packed with great advice 👊😎
Love it, thanks Matt. Great hat , going to grab one now I think..
dude ur making the world a better place. this mindful approach can spill over to all other areas of my life if i allow it. but im telling u there’s a few people that i go to for spiritual type stuff that are reliable u know ur gona get useful stuff and it’s eckhart tolle ram das llewelyn vaughn lee shunyamurti father spyridon and you. bottom line is i want what you have. your calm, comfortable in your own skin and i duno man i just appreciate it.
gotta remember that downhill putting tip.
I seem to forget some of these things when I’m on the green 😅
Love this! Just shared with my playa friends trying to play superhero. 🙏
Do you have any advice for practicing in the winter indoors when it’s cold and snowy outside
Hey Matt. Why does the club off the tee need to be confidential?
Great video. Thanks for creating the content:)
I've done a few leg kick swings in my golf career.
Thanks Matt, Well said.
I think both score and distance improve when you stop trying to improve them. Improve the underlying fundamentals and just let the score/distance be a measure. Trying to swing hard to crush one or trying to force a hero shot for a better score just makes them both worse. Better to just treat them as a measure and focus on making the best swing you can make.
waddaplaya great vid as always thank!
whaddavideo!! the best in the bizness
From my experience, coaching is cheaper and more effective than shiny new clubs.
Which GPS watch measures carry distance? From what I understand it tracks the total distance?
Good stuff 😊
Been 4 years back into golf and simply put, I am just not improving and am pretty down about it and wondering if I should hang the clubs up. It is very expensive and time consuming and if I can’t improve and have fun then what’s the point. Example, played 18 a couple of days ago on a pretty challenging very hilly course - teed off on the 10th, par 4 hole set on a high hill, fairway out to about 220 with a hard dog leg left and the green about 120 down and up a slope with woods and down behind the green. I hit a 5 iron off the tee, as you taught me, no drivers just looking to set myself up with a good lie and shot 2, perfect right down the middle of the fairway looking directly at the green. I set up and then chunk it, it dribbles down about 30 yards right into the only bush to the left of the fairway. I was just sad. Who does that? I had a nice lie in the fairway, straight down look, and I punch it into the only obstruction out there. I was so embarrassed in front of the guys they paired me with. I love your video’s and your approach to the game, actually yours are the only golfing videos I watch anymore. I plan on doing the swing tweak assessment, then moving up to the tee box that is up by the ladies tees, and working on just punching out of the rough areas back into the fairway. Thank you.
Much better with the cap 😅
When you say hit your highest confidential shot do you mean highest confidence shot?

Vamos, Jugadores
This may be the video I attach to my Reddit responses to people looking for help breaking 100. Is it going to be in the sacred lectures Playlist
Nice dvv
What’s a realistic expectation for someone that only plays once a week or twice in a 3 week period?
shoot 120s is probably okay
What kind of balls would you recommend for someone who shoots in the high 80s and hits their driver 250?
Srixon soft feel
Kirkland signature
AAA grade used pro v
Normal hat Matty is taking some time to adjust to
When you coming back to USA?
See results of next election
Usga says to take your 5 iron/hybrid carry number and times it by 36. So in my case i take 170 x36 get sround 6200 yrds...
I’d say multiply by 160 rather to be sure
@@GolfSidekick that would be 5700 yds? im a solid 12 from the whites which are roughly 6200 yds. xd
@@1976axerhand Solid 12 is what we love for betterball comps.
matty i broke 90 3 times this year
usually shoot low 90s
16.5 hdcp
but distance is a non issue for me
can drive 275-290yds
3 wd 235
5 iron 205
9 iron 153
pw 135 .. etc
should i still play whites or move to blues? whites can be a bit short but im not sure
Give it a try. You might find that your scores start the same or improve
If u r truly hitting those distances and still 16hcp, focus on the short game. Play forward and work with irons.
@@badebw yes
Will do.
Still missing lots of greens under 150 yds and 3 putting. Only. Playing 2 years
Second hand balls or pick-ups, thats the answer
Cheap balls is a big one. when I started I would get a bucket of range balls and filled my bag 😂
1000% me too hashtag
Where is your bucket hat?
the ball cap is throwing me off
New, cheaper balls are better than old, yellowish branded balls
You have missed the point bit i forgive you
"Mistakesand"- An old japanese word for landing in a bunker, probably
Caddie no good
I like your videos but CONFIDENTIAL DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS, STOP USING IT INCORRECTLY.

OUTBURST!!!!!
You need a short arse hitter like me in your videos. You do the talking and I'll play.
I don’t think I have ever seen your ears.
