My buddy is a golf genius. No matter how many strokes it takes him to put the ball in the hole, he writes down one more than I took. Shaved 15 strokes off his game overnight.

There is literally not an episode Matty boom boom doesn't have me laughing my ass off. And all that while still giving great advice. Best golf channel by a MILE.

[@FindingScratch]

Can we please get some merch that says “Club Confidential “ or “Confidential Club” something along those lines. Maybe a bucket hat or t shirt with that phrase on it. I’d love that so much! You’re hands down my favorite KZbin golf channel! Keep it up!

[@horn6]

I love how you’re so confidential with your shots!

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

Jack Nicholson loves it too!!

[@Roberto-bd9fq]

I think it's confidentiality..

[@danielnilsson430]

Honestly mate your videos have helped so much. I'm a 20ish Handicapper (been 19 through to 24), and hadn't broken 90 - got close a few times, but it always eluded me. Today was the day - hit an 86 at my course which is a real bastard of a course. Legit just kept thinking about what club felt most confidential as I stood over ever shot - backed up and changed a couple of times when the confidential-ness wasn't there. Still left a lot of shots out there - some silly missed putts and a couple of messed up short shots towards the end of the round - but man, felt like a baus - can't wait to have a hit again.

I am a golf genius and your leaf alignment trick reminded me one reason why. Syzygy. Not only is that a really high scoring scrabble word, it is also the perfect alignment of three celestial bodies, AND they key to my aiming.

[@foxtree4255]

I want to engrave Syzygy on my clubs now. Love that word in conjunction with golf. Genius!

[@Tom-B292-S3]

I'm going to use that word next time and piss off everyone haha

[@BobHanson]

I started playing again last year after a 10 year pause. And even then I was never very good. I broke 100 only a few times. I started taking things serious since starting up again. I found your channel a few months ago and following your approach I am not only in the low 90s consistently but I broke 90 (86) for the first time ever. Whadda playa! Whadda a life. Your advice has completely changed my approach to the game and course.

[@damiancosta2588]

Well doen on breaking 90! What worked for me was spending as much time on the practise greens as I did on the range. Also a bit of chipping and bunker stuff goes a heckuva long way to better scrambling eggs.

[@MatthewLoughton]

Thanks for spreading the inspiring golf advice curated from Jack Nickolson and Eldrick Woods

[@ssjackson5400]

I think you misspoke when you said Jack Nicholson, did you instead mean Phil Micklaus?

[@GolfSidekick]

Phil Nicholson is the left handed legend you’re thinking of

[@AfroNinja115]

Steven Ballesteros is a true golf genie

[@crankin7662]

A ball in play is worth 2 balls in the bush. It's Genius!

[@TeezerDriz]

Excellent advice Mattie boomboom. I often use a 3 hybrid off the tee, 180-200yards and 80% on fairways. Only lose 1 ball a round now, was 9 balls 3 years ago coz of Driver scattergun.

[@ChalrieD]

Got to scratch a few years back, lived on the chipping and putting green, and played the game very much like Golf Sidekick, practically identical. Course management and being in tune with how your game is on that given moment and day is just the best way to play the game period.

[@tedwyberanec8518]

So after playing this game over 50 years, (62 years old) I believe based on this video, I have officially become a “golf genius”. Since I’ve been watching your videos, my mindset has become much more focused and I’m now playing the best golf of my life. I’ve incorporated all of these 13 mindsets into my game and didn’t even realize it until I watched! Granted, stopping drinking beer on the course may have had an impact, but playing to my strengths and managing the course has been phenomenal. If I could only putt better I would be a 2 handicap. Thanks Matty boom boom!

[@knutmagnuserlandsen9891]

[@Deperdussin1910]

The aiming advice starting at 5:15 is solid gold 👍.

Distance isn't everything. Who won the Masters? Byron DeChambles or Scottish Souffle? I rest my case.

[@kendob9642]

Scottie souffle still longer than most pros 👌🏾

[@GolfSidekick]

PGA Tour driving distance averages are calculated on 2 drives per round. No one on there cares about 320 in the rough They would take 280 in the fairway everyday

[@Weshopwizard]

Titties to the target may be the best golf advice I’ve ever heard. Thanks playa!!!

[@mileseey7158]

Fantastic video, as always! Really appreciated the straightforward breakdown of what makes a golfer not just good, but smart. The tips on course management and knowing one's actual distances instead of chasing those one-off perfect shots are pure gold. It’s refreshing to see advice that focuses on playing smart instead of just hard. This really helps in shifting perspective towards a more strategic approach to the game. Thanks for sharing your insights and keep the great content coming!

[@UncommonProfessor]

I love Jack Nicholson's Golf Channel, and yours as well!

[@joshuabartlett9026]

I have to say that I don't enjoy watching your content because you teach me something new. I love your content because you affirm my mindset and strategies around the game are pointing me in the right direction which make me more confident in my playing. Confidence in the process was what i needed and you continue to provide it. Thank you!

[@onin24eagle9]

"know the true distance for each of your clubs". Reminds me of a question someone asked John Daly. "What's the most common mistake you see amatuers make?". He answered immediately without even thinking about it. "They don't take enough club on approach shots". In other words, they're going off the distance they hit the perfect shot and not their average distance and they end up short too often.

[@marksimpson2321]

I know why a lot of people think blasting balls as far as they can helps: because it's much harder to practice your short game as errors stand out far more so it's harder to excuse!

[@Jbelly624]

Lessons for sure. If you haven’t yet, get them. Took me from a 25 handicap down to a 6.

I think the playas that follow this channel are the ones that are actually playing golf, whereas the people watching let’s say Good good are more so tuning in for the content, if that makes sense, in the last year I’ve really thrown away the ego in my game, and know that some days you just don’t got it, but important on those days to just keep playing your game and play the game you got on that day. I’ve broken par one time before but know I could easily shoot a mid 90 round Anyways happy your posting again

Why do something completely different in practice…?

why’s that

[@GolfSidekick]

I think he means, find the distance in practice then bring smoothness to the course. You will prove to yourself in the practice facility that you have great distance. At the course, you’ll know that you don’t need all of it, all the time. rather that you have it in reserve.

I like how around the 2 min mark, you purposely shanked your 5w into the water. Funny thing is that even though you did that likely on purpose, it’s actually the more probable result for most golfers and especially if they wait a while for the green they’ll never hit to clear 😂 I go for my share of par 5’s but not when there’s trouble looming and only when I know a shank will still be an okay layup.

[@thehairygolfer]

Many years ago I played with a short hitting 21 handicapper. He asked me what club I hit from 150 yards. I said 7 iron. My carry was roughly 154 yards at that time. He said he also hit 7 iron from 150 yards. Except his carry was about 120 yards, he needed a big bounce and a lot of roll to get to the front edge. I guess he loves playing out of front bunkers. I never said a word rather than spoil his day with facts.
