18 Laws to Drop Your Handicap to 18

[@leomartino8783]

I love how you get your caddie’s in the sponsorship recordings too. I would love to know what they think during these moments

[@GolfSidekick]

They wrote the script

Mattie Boom Boom! This is my game exactly. I started watching your vids, playing smarter and from the correct tees, and I am enjoying golf like never before. Thanks so much, Playa!

[@kobilee9504]

Thanks for teaching us playa, just started in july and already down to a 19 handicap thanks to you

[@GdSA15]

So my son Kyle wrote his invite list for his 8th birthday party, golf theme of course. Being the fan he is, you made the list together with some no namers like Tiger Woods, John Rahm and Rick Shiels😂. A birthday shout out in one of your upcoming videos would make his day! Shot playa. G from SA

[@speaker54312]

Matt, thank you very much for these tips. Started playing last summer (American) and just shot under 100 for first time ever, then did it again the next time I played. Having more fun than ever

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice playa. Welcome to the bright side of the road

[@867goose]

i appreciate ya Playa!!! my goal is to be in the low 90s high 80s this next summer! watching your instruction and working on what you say i feel i should get there soon!!

[@Timo-0070]

If buddying golfers followed your advice they would fast track their handicaps for sure! It’s those tips that decrease tension and increase confidence 👌

[@metalheads-golf]

Yeps, ... with my 18.9 hcp at the moment ... most things are in the system. I do quite a lot of practice rounds and then I deviate as some things need to be practiced. When score would be goal 1 ... then ... of course "this is the way". 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

You are a submarine my friend..... your ceiling is no where near 18 🤘😎🤘

[@raptorracing09]

stress free golf indeed. great advice. dropped my handicap 3 shots by doing this

[@heydeereman1040]

Using your course management and playing weekly in 2022, I went from mid 90s to low 80s. Only played once in 2023 but ready to get into the 70s in 2024.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

Another unbelievably simple video that is phenomenally helpful. I'm definitely guilty of number 17. I'm way too worried about the distance.

[@Thirapat.J]

Long live Golf Sidekick, thank you.

[@alanshuffill4380]

The way of the playa works for me Matty boom boom , down from over 110 2 years ago to best 78 on par 69 my local club ,average 85 to 88 ,no drama don t look at score ,practice putting using wedge made me improve greatly ,still so much to learn but thank you playa in chief .🙂👍

[@tobree1]

I actually did shoot 83 for 41 stabelford points this week using the Playa method. Had 1 DB, 5 pars and 12 bogeys. Probably left 3 points out there too! Thanks Playa for the simple golf tips. -laying the course rather than letting the course and ego play me really works.

[@Brolicherbs]

14:11 I could listen to that sound all day

[@tonyzlatar3237]

Matt , great video , 18 handicap my self , your tips work great and landing more pars then ever , weekend just gone , 11 pars 7 pars , comp round easy 😊

[@cbr8206]

Please tell me the cooking show is coming back! Love that.

[@Shift2375]

Thanks for the tips. I'm confident that they will help me to lower my scores. Now, should I share this post with my golf buds, or should I keep it confidential? 😉😁

[@r.m.3731]

I commented recently about breaking 100 for the first time this year. Today, I did it again but went even lower (97 to 94). This philosophy really, truly works.

[@hsnelgrove71]

Hi Matt, Just wondering for your rounds in Scotland, if you preplanned your rounds? Did you google earth the courses and put together any yardage books? Thanks Playa!

[@kakimotoK20]

This was nice, it made me want to go play. I don't play conservative. When I was much newer to golf, if my driver was acting up sometimes I tried pulling out a 5 iron instead and would proceed to still go in the woods but much shorter. I think things like that (trying to play conservative but ending up in worse shape) kept me from trying to play safe. But ya know, I never did it for more than one shot at a time lol. I'm just now realizing, from this video, that if I PRACTICED playing safe I'd probably get better at it. Looking forward to trying this, hope I don't forget by the time it warms up.

[@GolfSidekick]

you will find the balance between conservative and aggressive as you begin thinking in a new way you will combine both to suit yourself and drop to a single figure handicap

[@kakimotoK20]

@@GolfSidekick I didn’t say it, but that balance is the whole reason I’m excited to learn how to play conservative. You’re pretty good at this sensei role

[@jamesbrewster733]

Today I was walking to work and saw the strangest thing. A feather on the foot path was moving, at a closer look it was an ant carrying it. I thought to myself, how good is it that the ant has taken up golf. And that he got the memo " plant feathers, grow birdies." Made my day

[@leonvandenberg6534]

It’s the hand gestures that keep me laughing as well as CONFIDENTIAL!!!! I’ve never played golf but was always interested. Seeing these strats, I feel CONFIDENTIAL that this is the way to play social. Hoping to have a lot of future dropsies into the hole than shaves (like those found at a maternity ward😂😂😂😂😂) Keep it up mate- I subscribed and liked the vids and hoping for more videos- maybe of other related golf stuff off the course.

"If you don't have a hundred-yard shot, you really need to see a pro" The funniest line in the video!

[@DannyBoy-jy1kq]

Some absolutely brilliant tips. I’ve took them all on board. Can’t wait to get to the first tee. Pick up my 5 iron and my inner voice to call me a coward shoot 110 and drive every drive out of bounds 🤣👌🏻

Hey bru. Could you explain what you mean by 5,800 and 6,400 in relation to tees?

[@GolfSidekick]

Check the length of the course at the end of the scorecard It wil tell you how long the course is for those tees. Follow this link and look at the yellow column: most golfers should be playing the yellows on this course total 6,235 yards thegolfschool.co.uk/golf-scorecards/

[@marksimpson2321]

The great Jacckk Nikaelsenn and Paul.Hogan botj repeatedly talk(ed) about planning where to hit shots.

The correct term is confidence not confidentiality. You shoot the shot w/confidence. Love the videos.

All good advice untill you get to the golf course and then your ego takes over. "Must.. use .. driver on .. tight tree lined par 4 .. paid for it, ...must go for .. tucked pin only 160 m .. did it once .... before." "AArgh 95 again, .. need to watch...boom .. boom some more."

[@Shreveinator]

You know the word is “confidently “ not “confidentially “ ? Confidential means “private or secret” so I doubt if you mean you want a secret shot. Otherwise I like the content and concepts.

[@GolfSidekick]

are you 100% percent curtain?

[@overover..]

To make this realistic, you should be sensible, lay up in front of the water, then chunk the next 2 into the water, wish you'd just gone for it from the outset, then still try to play 90

[@GolfSidekick]

no that would be pointless if people do not understand nuance, then that is up to them. I appeal to high and low IQ, not midwits

[@guycanuk]

Do you think of 'Ball/Turf'? Your irons are 10 yards longer than mine. Cheers ...🏌⛳
