7 Habits of Highly Effective Golfers

[@michaelhattens1464]

You only got A DOUBLE on the 6th. It is stroke index 4 and you only got two shots (1.7 hcp) when your started the round. That an extra shot on hole 4 and 12. Therefore you can post a 75 with a differential of 3.2 and therefore your HCP will be lowered to 1.5. Thank you for a great series, that have extented a lot of visits to a certain room. Cheers

By far the most helpful channel on youtube. Started watching you 9 months ago when I first picked up a club, hit an 89 last week and have been staying low since. Feel like I think completely different about golf than all my mates thanks to you. Thanks playa!

[@GolfSidekick]

Absolute saváge!

[@Fishinpro322]

Matt has been a big fan of your channel for a while but I’ve have have an issue I have to be honest with you about. Not sure if others have had the same problem but often times when I’m trying to absorb the way of the playa, I’m constantly finding myself distracted by your good looks and smooth accent. I know it may not be intentional, but it is very distracting, and takes away from the content. I know you wear the bucket hat to try to offset this effect but it is still a distraction. appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos I just wish I could get more out of them. Thanks all the best!

[@douglasgardner4004]

Love seeing the good and the bad shots. Your thought process is super helpful.

[@Tmoney_KOM]

Thanks Matty! Truly appreciate your channel and way of playing the game. Since I’ve found your channel, my game has completely changed and improved for the better. Started the breaking 100 series, then breaking 90 series in the last 2 years, I’ve gone from scoring 105ish to 95ish to last week my personal best 84. Can’t thank you enough. 2 years shooting in the 100’s to in the 80’s. Thanks Playa!

[@GolfSidekick]

Well done playa - 105 to 84 is no joke. What was the biggest difference to your game?

[@Tmoney_KOM]

Biggest difference is having a plan. I’ve watched many of your vids and worked on having 175yd club 150yd club and so on…let go of the ego and trying to mash. It’s seemed to fall into place fairly quickly! Thank you so much. It’s really has made a difference! Stress free…I know what you mean. It makes a huge difference.

Matt, I've really been enjoying your common sense, "everyman" content. In particular, I don't know if dealing with an obstinate fart has ever been addressed by other KZbin golfers. A much overlooked aspect of golf. Keep up the good work

[@GolfSidekick]

Sir you just have to pinch your bum hole, pray and hit. And if you pull your leg hair then it distracts from the impending scheisse

Matt your Scotland series has to be literally the most riveting golf KZbin series ever created.

Amazing to see how much you have adjusted to the harsh conditions of Links golf in Scotland in 'summer'. That low punched approach shot really has become your best shot and worked so well today. Putting great as ever and shooting some very impressive scores in very trying conditions. Well done.

[@ChrisWestcott-fk8ys]

Matt, you’re hilarious, genuine, and a pretty fantastic putter! You’re absolutely correct; great, fun, low(ish) scoring golf is playing to your ability! Don’t hero drive, understand who you are as a player, and playing to your strengths is so fun! Thanks for your channel, it’ll be fun watching you hopefully for years to come!

[@GolfSidekick]

Thanks playa. Years to come might be a stretch but i will promise for weeks to come and revise in a few weeks

[@duffer0309]

Another great video. To all the people that say hit driver every time I think this is a great video. With the wing you missed a lot of fairways. With a driver you would probably been OB or have a lost ball at least 3 times. One thing I’ve found is that when I tell myself I’m due to make a putt it never goes in. I’m a believer in getting the ball on the green ASAP, but I was a little surprised you took it that low on 18 over the water. Your putting speed from wsy off the green is unbelievable!

[@GolfSidekick]

18 chip was a slight error lol but it worked!!! The fescue around the greens is very pure on these courses. Sometimes i get lucky too

[@thea-team6439]

Mattie, I'm sorry for your struggles here, but it's great to see that you're human. This round reminds me of some of my recent rounds, and your advice about lies is just spot on. I took a double on 18 in my last tournament because I failed to properly adjust for a poor lie off the tee ... and it's probably going to cost me some bucks as a result. Thanks for all your amazing videos, you are truly the Yoda of the golf boyfriends.

Found this channel recently, just played my first round following the way of the playa. I put the driver away after two bad shots and took 4i off the rest of the tees. I hit almost every fairway and shot 5 strokes lower than my best round this season.

[@GolfSidekick]

Easy game

[@somerandomguy706]

That bunker was pure comedy.

[@Heathcliff_1600]

Love your stuff Matt, thanks for the video! I hope you’ve enjoyed your trip! Within my first year of playing I’m breaking 100 consistently and getting closer to be a sub 90 shooter. Golf has really helped me reconnect with old friends and strengthen the relationship with my dad. I can’t thank you enough!

[@GolfSidekick]

That’s what it’s all about nice

[@danielowen5889]

Just do what I did. Watch breaking 90 like 30 times. Listen to breaking 80 while sleeping.. I still have not broken 80.. 82 this past summer was my best.. best of luck.. Oh, 7 wood helped a ton.

[@dahoop5933]

I played great today using your tips, then I took out my driver & lost a ball. Kept driver to work through it, dropped 4 shots over 3 holes. Put driver away & back to playing well again. Driverless golf is a thing, next round I might try not using it at all - maybe 2 holes max.

[@dustinreed8161]

3:13 first time ive seen a putt from a tee box to a green

[@chunkz1187]

just to add to point 2 about no youtube swing fixes: I saw a pro for a lesson and told him i wanted to fix my slice because i always smash the ball, particularly driver, way out to the right; after hitting 5 balls he told me that i don't slice the ball because of my swing type but i was convinced i sliced the ball due to the result of the ball going right. The result of the ball blocking right was happening because i leave the club face open on impact not because i come across the ball in the downswing but i would never have known that through youtube diagnosis which i watched for the longest time trying different things that never worked because I didn't know what the actual problem was that a pro could see after 5 balls hit.

[@RaymondJames-y7v]

slicing is primarily a problem of having the club face open to the swing path(if the face and path are in alignment the ball goes straight, but it could be straight right or left!). fix the face and you pretty much fix the slice. then you work on the next issue.
