Surprised no one is making a bigger deal out of you getting Sanovabicci published in Golf Digest not once, but twice. Legendary! But they really should have mentioned you are actually the top Lithuanian golfer on TH-cam.
Canada here. Really enjoy your videos. The perfect mix of golf's essentials; reality based strategies and a sense of humour. These videos should make anyone's game better, and more enjoyable! Can't wait for the snow to melt. Thank you.
Hi Matt, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. It has changed my game so very much. My son and I watch you everyday and we are preaching your teaching to our fellow members. It’s such a great way to play. I wish you tremendous success and I would be happy to continue to support you 110%.. Incidentally, I have noticed in the past couple of days, other channels have been using your format. I have called them out and they get very defensive. Ty JT😊
Great advice - I'm 27 handicap in UK - Now play with 10 clubs only. Your tips work. I have GIOTG on my bag & dont hit more than 180 yards with driver. Glad I found you..
Matt. Thank you so much for telling me about the red tiger (had to look it up) rangefinder. This is the first I've heard of it. It is life-changing information.
I just bought 2 Red Tigers. One for me and a christmas present for my nephew. Amazon was US $93 - $10 coupon. Amazing. It shoots better than any I've ever tried. 300, 400, 500 yards, no problem, mai pen rai. Not that I need 500 yards.
Another year of great videos! The learn-to-putt video was very useful and I'm trying to use what I learned when I remember. Looking forward to more awesome products from Waddaplaya Golf. Thanks and Happy New Year from Toronto, Canada.
I find this type of stuff so useful. Thanks as always for breaking down some fundamentals. Makes you realize how easy it is to overlook the parts of the game we can attempt to control.
I am very excited to go into the golfing New Year with your course management, toe-down chipping and putting strategies, and Danielle Grooves' 3 releases technique! Bring on a new level of golfing enjoyment! Thank you, Matt...have a great new year! 🥃
The shots I need to work on are chips to within 6 feet (not hitting very many greens in reg), and hitting the ball in the direction I want it to go so I hit more greens in reg.
Only thing you could argue is missing is the 15 yard greenside bunker shot... with a GIOTG mindset, ignoring the pin. Tag-team with good lag putting and you're usually down in 3. Card saver, and makes approaches less intimidating, which frees up that iron swing. Great practice tips in this video.
Some excellent shot advice Mnr Sanovabicci! I do not play enough to have this level of awareness. 1st game on Friday. Let's see how much I can remember and apply....
Interesting advise on the punch out. I personally preach and swear by hybrids for escape. They are magic. I can change the height of my hybrid from 3 feet off the ground to a soft 9 iron flight with ease. I can hit a 60 yard hook or slice on command with them. The hybrid is a real Swiss army knife, and I think people should learn how to create unorthodox shots with it because it is so easy and so consistent once you learn.
Theres nothing special about a hybrid, you can learn to do this same thing with literally any club. You just chose to practice unorthodox shots with a hybrid. Every club is a swiss army knife (potentially).
@truthseeker5447 hybrids have a curved face, rails on the sole to allow for better contact on tough lies, larger sweet spot, easier to achieve smash factor. I could go on. Hybrids are exceptionally easy to hit compared to other clubs and this is well known. Your comment is largely worthless and fails to account for the fact that ease of use is the main factor in play.
I never knew Matt’s last name until this video posted. I looked up Matthew Sonnovabicci and it turns out he is actually from Zimbabwe and he is wanted on international cocaine trafficking charges in three countries. We have all been deceived.
The Red Tiger range finder is a great deal => works well too. When used in conjunction with a Waddaplaya bucket hat, it guarantees you will hit the green.
Thank you for your insightful videos and practical advice. I found your strategies valuable as an experienced single HCP player. Wishing you continued success and excellent health in 2025!
Matty is a genius! I usually play around 90, sometimes I break it, sometimes I don’t. Last summer, I played a round with 7i and less only, shot an 81 and didn’t lose a single ball!
I tried 2 break 80 last season and my 2 last rounds were both 82..I got trippel bogie on the same hole, a water hole..Funny thing is, there was foggy one day and i couldnt see anything, so i teed of with a wedge. than a 9i, than a wedge and a putt, and i made par🤣😂 i Should have stick to that tactic, but its to tempting 2 pick up the Big Dawg haha
I've gotten to the point where I straight up use a Pitching wedge off the first tee just to get those jitters out on this one course because its such an ugly starting hole.
Nice mention Matt. Now, is Sanovabicci really your last name. Growing up in a strong Italian heritage area, that sounds very much like a play on Son of a B****. I laughed when I saw it. 9:15
To me, the most overlooked thing about this video is the location of closet, and the dressing room, for all the clothing changes. Also, where the hell is the makeup mirror located? BTW. This is a no ego question.
How much money do you make off the red tiger sales because I was sold. Loving mine and it helped me with my game. It doesn’t work in foggy weather though. Don’t think any of them do.

I DID IT!!! Just scored my first 79!!!! Had a few scares but stuck to the plan and crossed, finally crossed, the line!
Playing golf in January... I need to move.

Matt. Thank you so much for telling me about the red tiger (had to look it up) rangefinder. This is the first I've heard of it. It is life-changing information.
Just got my RT range finder! Works even better when you find the focus dial!
@openstenosis the pin-locking technology...literally unbeatable
Bold of you to assume i have an 'in play' tee shot in my locker
Right!
😂
I do - 9 iron for the win baby! 😂😂
Putter off the tee for the win 😉
I'd sometimes take a hybrid or fairway wood and just chip it from the tee. Would do me quite a bit of work on some holes, especially on bad days lol

Thanks for the videos over all of the years. They have been both helpful and entertaining.
Happy New Year brother!!
100%
The 10 yard chip/pitch is a wonderful lesson . Thanks
I find this type of stuff so useful. Thanks as always for breaking down some fundamentals. Makes you realize how easy it is to overlook the parts of the game we can attempt to control.
Fuhgettaboutit! Momma Mia! My first round with the birddog and I love the balance. Thank you Matt you are the Most Valuable Playa on TH-cam!
U calling me a dumbski? Ask anybadi, ANYBADI about "Lefty Two Putts" from Mulberry Street!
Red Tiger range finder just came in the mail. You finally got me! Looking forward to using it in a few months. Thanks for the guidance Matthieu!
Thanks Matty for another great video. Keep them coming. Cheers from Australia
Matt is my golf guru!!! Thank you sensei Matt!
I am very excited to go into the golfing New Year with your course management, toe-down chipping and putting strategies, and Danielle Grooves' 3 releases technique! Bring on a new level of golfing enjoyment! Thank you, Matt...have a great new year! 🥃
Whoa. 5:22 color overload. Good tips Matty whilst showing all the new merch :-)
The shots I need to work on are chips to within 6 feet (not hitting very many greens in reg), and hitting the ball in the direction I want it to go so I hit more greens in reg.
Along with some great wedge instruction, Dave Pelz makes a fantastic Carbonara!!!!
Bold assumptions that my local muni course puts the pins on a less than 3% slope
Incredible tips. Thank you!
Another excellent video Head Playa, I already can't wait for next season to try to break 80!! Thank you for a great year of tips & content!!
"Don't be a dildo" had me bust out laughing at my office haha
Brilliant as usual matty. Accomplished golfer you are and instructor

Sannovabicci this is a good video.
#3 is what has helped the most.. 2 iron is my go to.. Thank you Matt
Amazing sunscreen! 😎☀️

Matty Boom-boom morphing into the Joker. That's a hard "G" in GIOTG. Love it.

I love you, Matty boom boom! Happy New Year’s!

Happy New Year Coach
Love the content!
Sanovabicci this was a grrreat video!
I'm a big fan of the caddy you've been working with for the past few months 😂
I've gotten to the point where I straight up use a Pitching wedge off the first tee just to get those jitters out on this one course because its such an ugly starting hole.
Nice, u be back to Driver in notime😂😉
Whattttaaaplayyaaa
For the punch shot, I would try to slice it out to the green and probably end up in the right rough but play for fun 😂
Nice mention Matt. Now, is Sanovabicci really your last name. Growing up in a strong Italian heritage area, that sounds very much like a play on Son of a B****. I laughed when I saw it. 9:15
can bunkers be used as a wood trainer as well?
This guy is some kind of golf and linguistic savant.
Being of Italian descent, I can confirm that GIOTG is a part of the Italian golf lexicon…😉
I didn’t know you were Italian, had my wife read it aloud and waited for it to click 🤣🤣🤣
Yes they can and it is painful when they do. 9:31
Bad green keepers
To me, the most overlooked thing about this video is the location of closet, and the dressing room, for all the clothing changes. Also, where the hell is the makeup mirror located? BTW. This is a no ego question.
In the words of a retired TH-cam Legend Club Pro Guy - My Punch-out Game is Elite 😊
How much money do you make off the red tiger sales because I was sold. Loving mine and it helped me with my game. It doesn’t work in foggy weather though. Don’t think any of them do.
best value ranegfinder and i have tried them ALL - I own about 50
nothing works in fog thats right
That pigeon toed stance looks odd but feels like a game changer
I really like the concept of "Charlie Chaplin" chipping! I'll use that idea.
Boom boom
Everyone but( PAIGE ) 💃 but you already knew that 🤠👍
The tip from previous videos about raising the chin when in a fairway bunker was money! Happy New Year Playa!!!
Good.
How and where is Teaski??
Cant wait to try the Charlie Chaplini chipping method.
A million dollars? Quit lowballin' me bro'.............
Matty boom boom, which golf course is this?
rancho
I don't speak Italian unless it's in italics, had to use subtitles to understand GIOTG. :)
I’ve started going 50% swing and changing clubs instead of trying to learn different pitch shots
Great video! Sent this to my brother in law because he’s a dildo with the short game chipping!
Punching out of trouble is my specialty.
Looks like Ace Frehley giving golf advice lol
I wish those range finders were 120 SA buck, bru, l would buy one today. Maybe even two 😂😂😂😂🤣
Can we a caddy series?
Everyone should stay till the end to watch the putting exercise...
Bro crispy irons out of the bunker…money…
Saying hi to my boss Mark, I know you watch these videos you old dawg
Master these & you'll be single figures.
Think I'll be practicing these shots in 2025, single figures a go-go!
Looked a lot longer than 10 yard chips in the video
NPC
It comes from Italy😂
AIM FOR TEXAS
Wait we have playas NOT playing for a million EVERY weekend?
How many rangefinders can you promote 😂😂
HoW mAnY rAnGeFiNdErS cAn YoU pRoMoTe derpa derpa
Should @Rory McIlroy, learn this putting lesson.😂 bcz he lost many millions than me.
Just found your channel and I feel blessed. Thank you for making golf both fun and simple to improve at 🏌️
