Age 50, what a blessing! I’m 56, athletic yet still sore most mornings.
Every time I feel a little whiny about my aging, I think of friends that are no longer here and didn’t have the pleasure of “growing old”.
Constant and never ending improvement!
Absolutely love your channel!
Love the new series. I want to see everything from practice to chiropractor to tournaments. It would be great to just experience it with you from the highs to the lows. A mix of video length would be great!
Wonderful. To aim high can only result in two outcomes: you succeed or you fail. Either way, you’ve grown. Excellent news.
The longer the videos, the better! Matt I love all of your content as a new golfer/TH-cam lover. It’s a good mix of the clog lifestyle I love seeing and learning about golf.
Man seriously you’ve got this and thank you for sharing the journey with us, you’re an inspiration.
Love the fact you are chasing your dream and bringing us along, I want to see your growing pains and then the ahh ha moment when it all comes together, keep up the hard work and achieve your dream!!!
I like when he said he was 50 he almost choked haha. I love your videos so much, I know you can do it!
You are living "our" dream brother. Just committing to this goal is a win already. The guys on TV say it all the time, patience and belief. This is the hardest freaking game in the WORLD. Proud of ya!!
Sooooo excited about this process and to see you succeed. I, for one, am interested in seeing all of it; the good, the bad and the ugly. My preference is for longer videos. I just seem to enjoy more of MSG in my life.
Regardless of the outcome the journey will change your life either way, maybe you succeed and maybe you won’t, it’s the journey not the destination!
If you qualify for a event I’ll fly over there and show some support! Always wanted to go to the states anyways!
Sending support from Australia
Really excited to see your journey. Seeing how you invest your time to improve would be great content. Most of us dont have 4-6 hours a day, but we could consolidate that down to fill our own pratice time. Good luck!
Love podcast and regular channel. The way you talk(not being boring), and if course your teaching technique is what drew me to and keeps on your channel. Great stuff.
Show everything! Video length around 10 minutes plus is always good. Great to be along for this ride. Always wondered what it would take to qualify for something like this and what leads to even getting in a qualifier. Thanks for sharing
Get the doubt out of your head, and go for it, all the way ! The only thing holding you back is you. Go get it ! You are a great Golfer.
Props for putting yourself out there. It is not easy to go public with a big challenge that you know you may not succeed in. Have no idea if it will help you but one thing I have learned through my time of trying to challenge myself is that Discipline is greater than Motivation!!! Motivation will fail you when things get tuff. Discipline will allow you to dig deeper. Good luck!!!
I would love to see you start playing some competitive matches where you put your swing under pressure whether it’s a money game or a mini tour event. I like that your changes are minimal because that seems doable. So for content, less range, more matches! You did a good job explaining how good you have to be to compete by saying you need to play at a +5. That’s what it takes! Good luck.
Welcome to the journey. You’re much further ahead. Hope to see you in the next couple years. Good luck and keep grinding.
Analyze and adjust… where have I heard that one before? 🤔😂
Excited to watch this journey!
Your so right about that bit of encouragement from a teacher or coach. I can't stand it when instructors try to draw an uncrossable line between you and "pros". Pros started somewhere too.
Can't wait to watch your journey. You can do it!
Matt, I would love to see a few videos on your nutrition and workouts. Thanks for the content and best of luck!
so crazy...I needed this video..see you out there.
If you don’t try you’ll regret it. I’m 62 and there’s things I wish I would have done that now I have serious regret. As far as your practice find what’s comfortable for you. Don’t get worn out on practice. Your a excellent golfer to begin with. As far as me being a scratch golfer that’s a good one
Man, I have that same issue on crossing the line at the top. I have tried all sorts of stuff to fix it. I even tried changing my posture but probably just didn't spend enough time with it. Going pro is something I thought about doing back in the day. I was getting pretty decent in my late teens, early 20's and then chose to chase something else. I wish I had the skills/money to do what you're doing now. We are the same age too!
You can do it Matt. Just believe in yourself. Have fun and will enjoy following your adventure.
Im trying to figure this out too, keep up the hard work. Im trying to find backers so I can train more. I got 4 years till I can go to school.
Glad you recovered from your 1st practice session, Matt. My vote is: Short Videos, Like to see all the Drills you are implementing (I love how you practice putting, chipping and your bunker game). Keep grinding, brother!
Good luck Matt, we are rooting for you!
Your a great golfer man! You can totally do it and who cares what others or nay sayers may say. You had the courage to put yourself out there to take on this challenge when the majority of the world would never do it/this. Good luck!
Great stuff Mat I need a chiropractor
I’m 67 of all the golf tubers you are the
Most honest and the best I’m sure you
Will do it we are all gunning for you
To represent us
I keep trying to get one of your hats
But always out of stock Amazon uk
Would be nice to see you practicing different types of shot shapes and what you are doing to improve the control of the ball. Being able to stand behind the ball and be confident you can produce a certain shape (curve left right low high etc) must be so comforting on some of the hardest courses in the world and all the sticky situations you can find yourself in.
I have not been this excited about a golf series…Ever!!!…. Good luck Matt. Don’t say “I’m gonna try”… say “ I’m going to do it”
we'll be rooting for ya!
Definitely want to see more of your nutrition and workout routines.
Thanks for sharing bro. This is awesome.
Male, age 80, golfer since age 14, 10 handicap from the seniors teen's, lowest score this year 76. Northern golfer. I just love your latest series. I wish you all the luck in the world in your quest to achieve our card. Would love to see video of your Journey, but don't let the process of filming disrupt your concentration, in the moment decision making. Looking forward to seeing on the TV. The 18th hole, last pairing, six footer for a birdie to win. Good luck!!!
Seeing you work on your swing changes is great because it showcases that it is not easy and there is no magical method that everyone can do instantly. It takes work. One thing I would like to see once you're dialed in is the planning and prep for a course. We all hear that having a plan is key but we rarely see it in action beyond "this is the plan for the current shot". Course management is a huge part of the mental game and trusting/committing/executing on that plan is tough. Example: your plan says hit a 4 iron off the tee and have the safe longer approach in, but your little devil on your shoulder says, "smoke the driver, you've carried 290 before..." I think it would be interesting to hear your plan for a hole and then see you execute that plan.
Keep pressing. You got this
I love to see you try. I don’t think you will be able to make, but it is fun to see the process. Sorry to rain on your parade🙁
show us everything! this is inspiring for sure!
Buona fortuna Matt. Not going to be easy but you can't achieve the goal if you don't try. We'll all be rooting for you.
You can do this Matt! Work your ass off and you will!
Matt like I said before listen to your coach. Stay positive. I use to watch Scott Parel here around Augusta in all the Amateur events. He worked his butt off and now look at him on the Champions Tour. You can do it.
Seeing everything and as long as possible would be awesome! :)
Motivation and inspiration 🚀🚀🚀
You can do it. Stop the lessons because you hit it plenty. Work from 150 in and get solid there!
I enjoyed the lesson with your coach.
Would love to see you play 9 again with him with you
Remember…you got this!!!
I have a bad back too. Check out upper cervical chiropractic. Works wonders. No cracking or popping.
I am sure you are more fit than A LOT of the senior tour guys. Only thing I think you might need to work on is the endurance to mentally make it through 18 holes. Your game is there but to step into each and every shot, especially after a bad shot, and stay focused and committed to the shot will be the challenge. I know you got this and can definitely understand what you need to do.
Good luck hope u make it!
Good luck!!!
One thing I think that would be interesting is as you make progress in a specific area that you are working on, make a video comparing older video to newer video highlighting the specific things that you've improved/worked on.
Would like to see you meal plan and hydration plan..Thanks Matt.. I'll be watching..
Interested in your fitness training and diet. You are an inspiration to simply be better using work and dedication.
I want to see it all. I would like to do the same thing, but my handicap is only a 4 right now. So I have a long ways to go.
Its great to have goals and dreams!
I'm rocking with you!
Matt, I think it would be so cool for you to do a podcast episode about allllll the etiquette rules. I know you do the "cheating" episodes, but I think it would be cool to see the more well known etiquette rules and maybe some Tour Pro rules that you will need to know and would be cool for us to know also! That could be a series video or a juicy long video
Love the content. Keep grinding, that swing will come around. Head up! :)
Having a H.I. of 1.0, it's going to be EXTREMELY difficult, but I'm excited to watch the effort...I'm sure it will be good content.
👍
Good luck in your quest
I'm curious about your golf background. I think I heard you mention you played college level.
What is the furthest you tried to take your game when younger.
Talk about the mental aspect of dealing with this goal…we all struggle with that.
play good. you excel at what's very important. go for it. you can do it. it's 90% mental and the rest is in your head. (haha)
You could have easily played in the first LIV event. With your of level of play you would have beaten 75% of the field! (and yes I looked at the scoring in London)
Love this challenge and believe you can do this! Go Matt!!!
I mean anyone can do it, but the road for golf is soooo hard since it's hyper competitive.
Still, I wish you the best of luck and work hard. Let's see you get there 💕 from 🇦🇺
Go for it...
Not sure I could be so regimented about a schedule. Life has to many fluid factors that alter things. The short game practice will pay off. 100 yards in.
This is a great series. I believe that 4 to 6 hours a day practice alone will get you to a plus handicap. Add good instruction and your natural talent and you will win a senior tour event.
Matt is probably a +4 right now. Needs to be +8 to be a "stick".
A +8 can go to a hard course 74 rated and shoot 66 once in five tries. Matt can shoot 70 once in five easily.
Should be fun, but those guys are on another level! Many pros don’t practice that much. They just play a ton. No need to be a range rat!
Watch a TH-cam video of Magills big 3. You won’t need to see your chiropractor again after a month. I would also like to see you practice without earphones. Learn to focus without them. Look forward to watching this entire journey Matt
you certainly have the game, i think if you practiced like a pro you'd give anyone a run for their money on your day. best of luck.
Need to see what the daily schedule of a Senior Tour pro looks like.
Good luck, but your odds are very long, as they say on the promo's all the time" those guys are good"!
Challenge matches with other really good players. This would also help your focus for going pro.
I'd like to see you play 4/5 holes, then try again same holes but with no driver, play like your games off!!! so protecting your plays. Get a score grinding it out...
First, good for you and I wish you well. Second, you should hire someone to do the video, editing, ect. I really want you to accomplish your golf goals.
I mentioned it on your other channel: You need a mental coach, they help a lot.
WE WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING!!!
I just want to see you talk to the camera about golf and various aspects of the game. Time should be at least 10 min up to 30 min. You can show some short game clips of you playing as well. Thanks.
We want to see the whole process
PGA Players walk onto a Muni and shoot 64 on a bad day. You have to ask yourself if that is you. They not only have the skills to shoot 64 in a friendly, but can shoot 65 when there is $3,000 on the line and 66 when Johnny Miller is telling the world that you get stuck at times and your chipping needs work.
Also, play your swing.
Yes, I think you have a legit shot. The way you hit the ball and you don't look 50.
Matt
There is nothing harder then trying something different. Realize your new at tournament golf. Realize there are no mulligans.
That being said, all you can do is try and relax, play inside your self. Of All the no pro Golfers on TH-cam you have
The best swing
The best putting
The best attitude
The best self humor
Does this mean your going to succeed, he'll no. But it does mean you have a great chance.
Go out have fun, enjoy the drama and the stress that comes with it.
I raced pro- motocross in the early 80's and I can tell you it's scary, it's stressful to line up next to factory riders.
Once the gate dropped it just became just another race. Yep I got my butt handed to me almost every week. But in the end I made some life long friends, I grew as a person, and bottom line, I had the time of my life.
No one can take this from you, so go take on the world.
Best of luck👍😎
We are all behind you and pulling for your success.
Shower/steam at pga courses!
No, but have the time and $ , go for it!
I would like to see more videos of you playing rounds with scores etc. Practice videos will get boring quickly, and I would think you should be playing 18 everyday anyway.
I love everything about golf but particularly like to watch every shot in a round.
Here’s the REAL deal, that nobody has touched on! Go to a course that has the Monday Qualifier for a PGA Tour or Champions Tour, go to the back tees, if you play 2 days and average 64-66, you have a small chance in the actual qualifier.
And NO, not everyone can get to scratch. Most don’t have the mental capacity to deal with the highs and lows of the game!
My club hosts Korn Ferry 2nd Stage, my old club just hosted the Champions Tour Final stage, won by Rob Labritz, who just finished 4th at the US Senior Open.
Let the Nay Sayers motivate you.
You have to take YOUR shot !
You should get a match with the Good Good dudes.
Im greedy. I want to see every bit of it ! lol
Tell us: what in your bag (your D, Wds, H, Irs, Ws, n P). Also share what shafts n grips you are using and ball you like to play. How often you use your simulator. What is the at home putting practice mat you have.
Also, anytime you want to come down to West Palm Beach, I can treat you to a round.
If you practice Mon-Fri, then maybe you can do vids on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. In those videos you can mention how Tuesday and Thursday went.
I can appreciate full practice videos and full tournament videos of each shot to show how your round goes.
I just watched the 2nd practice going pro video. Growing pains! It's all part of it, but makes you better. Gotta have hard days.
Need to have intention spent with your time on and off the course. Quantity is not quality. Each shot you are hitting needs to have intention, not just mindlessly hitting over and over.
These are all just my opinions of course and every one has there own way of doing things, just my two cents!
I'm for you and think you can do it and it would be awesome if you were able to make an event close to Dallas. I would come out and support!
You’re an old wrestler. Dig deep. It’s a mindset.
All
What state do you live in ? What success have you had in amateur state tournaments ?
No LIV offer?
👍🏼❗️
I love your channel. I started watching going into this golf season because I had been away from the game for a few years and needed help getting my swing back. Your positivity and simple approach are the main reasons why I watch EVERY video you release. This new series is really interesting and it’s fantastic. But here’s what I think, you seem like your forcing yourself to do it. I completely believe you can do it! I know you know that too, but you should enjoy the process. You’re making a huge swing change, slow your swing down and find the center of the face. The speed will come back as you get more comfortable. I can’t wait to see your progress!
