Found your videos recently. Today played front 9, having already decided what would be an acceptable score. All tee shots were at least 1 club less than I’d usually go for, all transport or approach shots was 1 club more with an easy swing. I had the most stress free 9 holes, shot 1 under my hcp par and enjoyed the hell out of it. “Drop the ego, play the position and realize what a good score is.” Awesome advice.

[@primetime8137]

You have a fantastic way of explaining technique that makes it easy to understand, thanks for your videos, all the best from Scotland.

[@paulday5722]

"When you combine position chasing with ego dropping you get great scores". A lot of wisdom in one sentence. So many guys are obsessed with smashing it a mile they are usually recovering from bad lies on their second shot. Play under control and let the game be easy.

[@steveoutdoors23]

Hey Matt thx so much for your excellent and refreshing instruction! I have been golfing for 51 years and am not only a player, but also a student of the golf swing,and the game. So much instruction is influenced by the professional golfer’s game which 99% of us cannot relate to. Your instruction is clear, concise, and practical for the us 99%ers who just want to enjoy the game more and not become a professional golfer. Just wanted to pass along my appreciation to you!

Most immediate impact of the 5, if you want to break 80 or 5 shots better than your best score! is putting distance control. Easy method, find a flat putt on practice green around 25ft,3 or 4 balls hold your follow through as you watch the ball roll,try and connect your brain/senses! to the roll of the ball Advanced do the same right hand only or with eyes shut!

[@itsyaboi3254]

This is just video I needed for my specific golf game and mentality out there

[@NickSssss11]

“And every now and then a blind squirrel finds its acorn” I love that saying. Huge ups to the info on avoiding 3 putts! Distance control has become huge for me while putting because if I know I can’t putt in 1 I can at least put myself close enough to the hole to make that second putt. The key is shaving off strokes in the right places and in turn lowering your score through each hole. Another thing is to play courses more than once, you get used to the feel, conditions, and greens of the course and become a more knowledgeable players on said course. :)

[@doubleRprodutions]

I can testify that this attitude improves your golf. Right at the end of last season, I followed the way of the playa and shot the best round ever. The best thing about dropping the ego, is you lose far less balls and end up in way less bunkers.

@11:13. The maintenance people that punch a cup in the ground ⛳ they are supposed to "pat down" around the hole after the holes made, if they don't do this they causes a lip to stick up around the cup so every time you putt it goes like a toilet bowl flush when you try to putt it in..

[@biron81]

Damn. I'm surprised this Golf Messiah has not been crucified. I play off HC21. I started on HC28 2 years ago. Followed Golfsidekick matra and lessons. Cut scores down massively. Being that high HC, playing in club competitions that mostly have stabelford scoring, Golfsidekicks mantra makes scoring in those competitions really effective and to be honest, very easy. This video is no different to playing HC1 golf or HC21. You have made a massive impact mate. Met several West Aussie golfers randomly in WA that have been touched by your golf brain. Cheers mate

Just the way of the playa. You are a certified BAUS and a gentleman. Thank you for deepening and broadening my love of golf. Without your outlook on the game I doubt I ever would have been able to play like this. My ego has been set aside and I feel free.

How many woods in your bag and what’s your layout. I’m a 3 hc Considering the 7 wood option over a 4 iron but I already have a 3 hybrid in… that goes 225 carry. Can stretch it out to a 250 shot on a dry day. 4 iron is a 210-215 carry club but it’s the only club in my bag I don’t flush every time for whatever reason. 7 wood similar?

[@marksimpson2321]

Zen level golf advice from Matty B. I have a question: why are certain clubs go to clubs ? Obviously the driver is harder to hit well than a 7 wood for example but is this because you have spent much longer on the range practising with the 7 wood? I was a 28-35 hacker wiyh occasional +14 rounds but if my swing went EVERYTHING went. That said i never had lessons. :(

[@GolfSidekick]

7 wood because it looks like the first wood I could ever hit properly - a 5 wood persimmon Jeanette Byrd Slaz 6 iron because it was the longest iron I could hit without slicing it back when i was 13. 4 iron came later I don't know why i got good with 2,3,4 irons. Your swing never really 'went' - your timing probably went. If you've never had lessons, you probably work on timing because fundamentals aren't there...much like me. Your swing is actully consistent but it's relying on timing which is the inconsistent part.

[@hothamandfauri]

As a 30 handicap golfer who struggles to break 100. (Only done it once). I struggle the most to just make clean contact. On my bad holes and bad days I hit behind the ball and chunk the grass. When I hit the ball clean, I can usually get my clubs to perform well and do what I want them too. But when I'm chunking grass, my ball is unpredictable. My putting is also a big problem. I have had many times where I am putting for par or even birdie. However I then three putt or four putt and totally ruin an otherwise well played hole.

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes sir. The difference between 30 and 1 is nearly two shots a hole. Usually mis hits that cause big problems. And 3-4 putts. Lessons help

[@joseph-ow1hf]

I gave up golf 10 years ago. You're making me want to give it a go again.

[@thehairygolfer]

Length is nothing without direction. You have both. Plus you can chip and putt which makes you deadly. Length is a huge reward. Being able to hit a 4 iron on a tight par 4 and have a short club in instead of the rest of us having to hit driver to get to that short club position is such an advantage.

[@GolfSidekick]

it helps when the temperature is 30° +

[@gotchugarrosh6825]

Well, but @GolfSidekick Matt made clear since years that individual club choice should relate to confidence, which comes from consistency as well as accuracy. Leaving ego beside for most golfers is the biggy here, I guess. As a lady baus, I took my medicine and focussed on practicing up @ downs. Also went back to my irons (incl. 4Iron) and wohoo. My hcp is now down from 20 to 16 in 2023. Will play my woods in 2024 and am looking forward to further development. 😊

[@GolfSidekick]

@@gotchugarrosh6825 for shorter hitters, the best thing in the world is learning to hit the hybrids and woods like a baus or honorary baus. thats how didi became a 8 handicap like a beast

@@GolfSidekick Sure does. Our courses have been closed for months due to rain. I've played 9 holes since November. I bet I can't break 110 right now if I could find a course that was open.

[@itsmrsimplicity6195]

You are a crazy good short putt putter!! Saves tons of strokes

[@GolfSidekick]

In the top 35%

[@ross798]

The putting advice is something I always see people forgetting. On a flat 20 footer, you will see people miss left or right by less than a foot, sometimes less than 6 inches, but they are 5 feet long or short. As I alway say, the hole is round, walk up to that 5 foot past the hole shot and now imagine if someone missed five feet to the left or right, you would think they had no clue what they are doing. Yet if it misses by half an inch and rolls 6 feet past the hole, we act like "just missed it". Those who really practice speed control still miss putts, but rarely do they miss the next putt.

[@GolfSidekick]

yes sir - give me 2 feet left or right of the hole perfect pace over any putter that licks the rim and finishes 5 foot past, any day of the week, twice on sundays

[@JustinWallman]

Matt, I like draw bias swing. It appears your takeaway is more catered to the inside. Is there truth to that or am I seeing it wrong?

[@carsonjewett3349]

Another thing I saw on ball striking is that some pros don't swing their hands any faster on clubs as they get longer (for long irons), they just let the length of the club swing the head faster. Hand speed stays the same as a wedge approach shot, mechanics stay simple

[@GolfSidekick]

never thought about it but then i never even knew people could or did swing their hands faster. never heard of it

[@EvanThomas]

I wish I had your confidential on the golf course.

[@wsgjm-rh6rg]

im a little bette than a 0 so same ball park as you......thinking of a 5 on a par 5 is insane aren't we trying to play par 5's 1-4 under depending how many there are?

[@GolfSidekick]

Depends on the par 5. But usually 1-2 under i am happy with. Some days thats a SW in hand on all four par 5s. You have a par 5 550 yards cut into 3 by water - 5 is good. Par 5 500 yards with a big downslope, 4 is expected. Another par 5 limiting your drive to 255 max leaving a 250-260 yarder over water, with no space? 5 is good. The 4s will come. Forcing 4s makes 6s. The point is make is that an expert makes 5. Even as a 1 handicap im not an expert. So 5 is fine. It’s not my ideal but it’s fine
