How to Break 80 Non Stop - The 4-6-8 Method

[@DShew24]

I just broke 85 for the first time Friday. Applied so much of your course management. I only get to play a full 18 about once a month but I have gone from breaking 100 to breaking 85 over the course of 3 rounds. “If you think it’s boring, you don’t like scoring” is absolutely true.

[@GolfSidekick]

85 as a once a month golfer is like 65 for someone playing everyday playa. Waddaman.

[@eoinm5758]

Buddy honestly every time I've broken 85 which is only a handful of times has always been after going on a binge of his videos

[@scottlandb6579]

I broke 90 (80 something) a few months ago, I’m back in the 100’s again so disappointing

[@lunamotocross]

After two years of taking golf seriously, I finally broke 80 for the first time this past Saturday with a 79!! It was thanks to watching you for the past year baus. I was a playa all day, with smart, comfy golf and not thinking about my score ever. It was a lotta confidance alllll day pardner

[@tim5749]

Congrats!!! I broke 90 for the first time after watching the playa in chief for the past couple of months. I hope my 79 round score is coming soon!

[@GolfSidekick]

Well done legend. 79 almost as satisfying as 69

[@lunamotocross]

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Good advice every time. I finally did the Google maps analysis of my regular course. I spent several sessions mapping it out on a A4 blown up score card map from the copier. Every key yardage mark for staying out of trouble was plotted. I also snuck in some much-needed time at the ranch here chipping and half iron shots work. I am going to maximize decision making more than I have in the past. I now have an electronic range finder. I have practiced with it as well. I have not shared this with the guys in my foursome. I will NOT be buying any beer when we are finished playing. Thanks for your videos.

[@GolfSidekick]

Sir please let us know how you progress. Hopefully you enjoy the process and adapt the strategy as you see what works and what doesn;t. THis is the way of the playa and you are a confidential BAUS

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

@@GolfSidekick I will do it! I have a plan. As needed it will get adjusted. Your video about the water, out of bounds, trees/woods, deep sand off the tee made too much sense to ignore. Success and improvement must have a plan. Work the plan, evaluate, wash rinse, repeat. I retired the driver. It is a problem child. I get decent returns on the 3W, tighter dispersion. Makes too much sense as does the 5W, 7W or an iron from the tee. I play this weekend. We will see.

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

@@GolfSidekick So far, so good. Three rounds with my group and my highest score was 89, but I had an 85, and a 87. One big adjustment. A par 5 that has trees left and right out to 200 then opens up. Was hitting 7W. Changing to 5W. I hit it plenty straight and it goes further. More putting practice is needed.

[@randyk8919]

Thanks Matty! I went and broke 80 for the first time. Your advice helped tremendously.

[@GolfSidekick]

You savage! Why did you have to go and do that!

You are encouraging me to start thinking 85 84.... Love your work. Thanks

[@duffer0309]

Was waiting for this video. I think it’s a better approach than 6-6-6. I’m averaging 78 and your advice is spot on. There are 4-6 par 4’s that are difficult for me to hit in regulation. A bogey on these holes is ok (there are three in the front and my goal is one par), but I’ll aim to avoid a double. There’s a tough par 3 and thinking about it, I play as a 3.5. I tend to look at is par is great, bogey is ok. Thanks for these videos.

[@GolfSidekick]

i bet seeing those tough par 4's as par 4.5 brings the ceiling down

[@duffer0309]

@@GolfSidekick the three long par 4’s (unless I hit a perfect drive I can’t reach) are averaging about 4.8 shots). So if I par one of 3 (my goal) it’s 4.7 strokes. The bad part is the pins are set so that to of the three are back pins on same day so even if I get close I have a longer chip. The other hole is a raised green with a carry over a bunker. So even with a good drive I can’t run the ball onto the green and don’t have carry over the bunker.

[@nagendravenkaswamy2605]

[@benjaminherbert8569]

Hadn't got close my PB of 87 in five years, then accidentally shot an 81 last week. Just the one birdie on 18, just the one double bogey. Such an enjoyable round leaning on my 5 wood off the tee and chaining together stress free pars and bogeys. Didn't look at my score until I got to the clubhouse, whadda lovely surprise.

What is your opinion on the following swing techniques taught on youtube- " the single (moe norman) plane swing" and " the easiest swing in golf"? For context im a 52 year old man who returned to golf after 15/16 year sabaatical. Im a 31 hc ( i didnt have one in previous golf career) and have a back issue. Thats why i ask question. Im trying the single plane. I dont know if its right for me. I seem to have developed a stiff neck but i dont know if thats swing related. I know the conventional swing(or my version) was tough on my back. All golf pros i have met seem to only teach conventional way. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thks

[@GolfSidekick]

You have answered your own question. I don’t know anything about your swing and what’s good for your body and you don’t either. That is precisely the reason to stop emulating stuff online that we don’t know whether it applies to us or not. It’s all click bait to get views for as revenue. They are not trying to help you. They know it too. At 31hc, the knowledge of the swing is around 0% so in-person help which takes into account your mobility and ability is key. Look for an instructor older than 40 years of age who comes highly recommended by others you may know. Don’t go to young guys. Your perception of pros and conventional vs special is misplaced. There is no conventional and there is no special that applies to us. A good pro helps you swing YOUR best. Usually older guys specifically 40-60 years old. Who have been around the block.

trust your brain to automaticaly do the physics (because it does). That is the reason you don't plunge your hand into boiling water and can find the handle in space and time of the pot. It's the reason you don't break your fingers smashing them into the car door when you reach for the handle. It's the same with golf. Your brain has worked out the physics.

I enjoy your content. The FLAW IN YOUR ANALYSIS, is always the same thing, you dont consider that most golfers are not reliable enough to avoid duffs and miscues. Most golfers can be guaranteed to hit the green from 100 yds and in. Most golfers don't hit 14 drives without a few VERY WAYWARD HITS OR TOTAL MISCUES. You are relaible and know you don't duff.

[@901pics]

As a 35 year tennis professional I HAVE to say this guy is easily one of the best instructors I have ever watched and "LISTENED" too. He clearly says "get instructional help" (and offers online option) if you don't have the appropriate skill for the video you are watching. This channel does not focus on many of the hundreds of instructional nuances and techniques needed in golf...instead it focuses on how to strategically plan your way around your deficiencies and around the obstacles the course engineers put in your way.....as the old time greats preached(jack and bobby).

[@901pics]

If you listen, he also recommends getting in better shape to play at the level you espire too. Your comments is a stinky windy. It's all in good fun!
