This strategy is definitely the way for a hacker like me. I've left the ego behind; * Stopped spraying the Mickleson-esque drives teed 4 inches off the ground, accepted that if I want to keep it in play, 170-200 yards is good. * Taken numerous 3-woods off the tees on holes where wind/camber is going to put my sliced driver in trouble. * Accepted that off the deck I cant consistently hit further than 150 yards and broken 250 yard approaches into two consistent 8/9/PW irons. * Done everything I can to leave my trusted 110 yard PW into the greens. * Finally broken 90. Bravo playa's!

[@bradtyler206]

Good message Bause, for those of us that get hung up on stats…nothing more satisfying than missing the green, then chipping in for the birdski, or tap in par….Anda adalah bos 👍🏻

[@duffer0309]

Thanks for posting this video. I have a friend that has an insane short game. I’ve seen him shoot even par over 9 holes with 9 putts several times. My philosophy is have tight dispersion with your irons and know how far they go. If you do that and pick the right targets you’ll get your share of GIR, but if you miss you’ll have an easy up/down.

[@scottcross3252]

100% , never heard of Bob until one of your last vids ... Then got a second book ...no practice on the course but this mentality in the book is golden ..in putting alone!!

[@m.taylor7025]

​@@silvermediastudio you have to open the face up on those wedges and let the bounce and grind do the work. You just have to avoid hitting it thin and it's actually a really forgiving shot...even hitting 2-3 inches behind the ball, the sole interacts with the turf more like a wood than an iron once that leading edge is out of the way. No divot or small divot, high flight but not a lot of spin. Try it.

[@azy83]

Nice, Playa! I felt that satisfaction at seeing that last putt go in. I haven't been out on a real course yet but have been putting in time at some indoor simulators and have gotten a degree of optimism for this season. I find the toe down chipping method which I learned from your videos extremely helpful. Cheers!

I always look forward to Stimp Daddy's videos :) Scoring better is all about eliminating doubles and triples (aka big numbers) from appearing on your scorecard, in order to do that, I'm learning how to miss better and it's trending in the right direction. I have also been working on my practice putts by following Stimp Daddy's advice about holing a lot of 1 foot putts, then moving onto 2 footers, 3 footers and so on

[@jonmullenax3173]

Your vids are the best instruction on the WWW...always check in to watch one before heading out for a round..of duffing!!

[@bigfatolly1482]

Great video . I've been beating myself up over distance for a while as I'm a real short hitter with all clubs. I played with some better players though and they didn't hit many GIR. What set them apart from me (25 HCP) was more consistent ball striking and decent pitching, chipping and putting. That's what I'm trying to improve from now on,

[@maximilian_6561]

You’re right Matty Boom Boom… I’ve reviewed my lower rounds in the GHIN app and have found that I’ve shot some of my lower rounds with below average GIR for me. It’s all about the up and downs.

[@thehairygolfer]

As a 5/6 handicap my aim is always to be better than 50% at everything. 8 out of 14 fairways, 10 out of 18 greens, 5 out of 8 up and downs. Obviously it never works out like that but that is my target.

[@thehairygolfer]

@@silvermediastudio I miss greens with my irons. Had a problem last year with my take away making me leave the ball out to the right a bit. If you play a tree lined course getting out of trouble and making a par is not a given. My biggest problem is lack of time and a place to practice. Always loved hitting my own balls off grass rather than range balls off a rock hard mat. After getting a wrist injury doing that and missing 11 weeks of golf I don't think I can commit to the shot when hitting off mats. That's my thoughts anyway.

[@joshpeterson7241]

Yesterday, I played one of my worst 9 hole rounds on a course I was familiar with and I also hit more greens in regulation than I ever had before. I hit twice as many greens while shooting 8 shots worse than I did last time I played this course. Hitting greens in regulation is good but isn't always nessesary to improve scores. Great video!

[@leospaceman2976]

From 1 to 2 GIRs?

[@stuartdavidson8239]

Always great advice... thankyou very much! I just played the front 9 at my local course (par 35) Only hit driver twice and shot 35. Honestly i felt more in control of my game and the confidence i got from that was ace.. thanks again mate

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes sir. Confidence and comfort = control and the most fun

[@andrewcarter7503]

At my local recycling centre, there's always a collection of old golf clubs. Mostly rubbish, the occasional good one. I buy one now and again. If it works i keep it, if not i drop it back next time i go. By works, i mean works for me. At our level, consistency and confidence are more important than a manufacturer's claim of an extra 4 yards distance. So far a 7 wood and a 52 degree wedge are in the bag. Can't even remember the brand. They cost £2 each. I've probably spent £10 on clubs I've returned. Next trip, I'll look out for a ladies' driver 🙂.

[@danielhowell167]

Confident swings and conservative targets is the way to play good (and relaxing) golf. That said, there are very few times I’m playing and the correct conservative target is intentionally away from the green on my approach. The only times I’d ever consider something like that is if I’m outside of comfortable range and have a forced carry to the green or I have a terrible lie. Most of the time I’m aiming to the center of the green or to one half, or at the most extreme, one third of the green if I really need to avoid trouble - but almost never to a lay up zone unless I’ve put myself in a bad position off the tee. If you’re consistently aiming away from the green on approach shots due to calculated risks you need to play more forward tees.

[@williamwest7313]

Aiming to safe spots over and over will actually teach you to be more accurate than you would think. Then when you know you can miss well, you start taking on more and more of the green. Being aggressive to those safe targets

[@Makkaer1111]

[@chubs7182]

Matt - curious what your advice would be for practicing without being able to practice short game or on grass. I'm a low 80s shooter, and everywhere around me is only mat driving ranges and no short game practice areas. Hitting off a mat and not being able to practice short game is killing my ability to consistently strike the ball better (turf interaction) and practice 100 yards & in. Getting up and down is a lot more terrifying for me than getting the ball in play.

[@GolfSidekick]

[@sacpike]

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

To be a scratch golfer you need to average 12 greens per round. The biggest key though is NEVER short siding yourself which means you always plan ahead to make sure if you miss your approach shot that you still have plenty of green to work with. That's the key to getting better at golf...that and spending 80% of your time working on short game.

[@jamesklapetzky8633]

So Basically it's about playing SMART GOLF by playing to your distances and clubs strength? I actually did this on 2 Par 3s on a golf course last month in that missing long was better than going in the bunker on both holes. Scored a bogey on both holes when usually I take a 6 or 7 because of trying to hit the green.

[@jaautre7482]

​@@GolfSidekickI'm coming back to the game after an 8 year break I've mostly been shooting in the mid 90's to low 100's. Today I played away from the pin on every hole and I shot an 83. Striking the ball better than normal helped but I've been plagued by snowmen and following your advice was key in limiting me to only one double bogie and nothing worse.

[@kevinogill6726]

The theory is a bit misleading. You say a 10 handicap hits only "two more greens than a 20 handicap but going from four to six is a 50 percent increase in greens in regulation. A 50 percent increase or decrease in any aspect of golf is substantial; 50 percent more putts made, 50 percent more fairways hit, etc. A 50 percent increase in driver distance, for example, would take a 200-yard carry all the way to a 300-yard carry, Yes, manage the misses, but don't disregard 50 percent more greens in regulation

[@GolfSidekick]

Percentage change and absolute values are very different concepts. It should be obvious but it appears to have escaped you. This misuse of percentages is a common propagandizing technique. To show percentages without the absolute numbers and the reality of how to get to those changes is dishonest. Or are you just trolling? Can be confusing with this level of stupid whether you are trying to sound smart and failing, or genuinely joking. Extremely midwit
