Shot 85 the other day. (My lowest score by two strokes.) Terrible front 9 (score wise) but wasn't hitting the ball that bad. Just kept my head in it, because I am a playa, and the confidentiality soared. Tied my best 9 hole score ever on the back 9 and went home a happy man!

Number 16 is so important. I was a 24 handicap and recently started to play hickory golf clubs. I can't recommend this enough. It forces you to swing smooth and easy (otherwise you risk breaking them). The effect this had on my modern gam was massive. I'm now a 19 handicap and falling. I'm playing courses I've never played before and shooting low 90s to mid 80s by swinging smooth. It's helped a lot.

I feel like my potential is starting to show itself like I’m getting closer and closer to breaking 80 now. I think golf is just a journey, and we need to accept our scores are going to be all over the place and it’s a loooooong process. We playas must always be students of the game. Even the playa in chief is not a master, he is a student as well: a MASTER student. A good quote from the best teacher I ever had: “I chose to be a teacher because I always wanted to be a student”. I think the wisdom there applies to all aspects of our lives, including golf.

@@marvinbluedorn3321I am also in my second year playing, am off a 12 handicap. Shot an 84 today because I couldn't putt for shit on our hollow tined greens 😤. The difference between a sub 90 and low 80 round is such a low margin, I had 5 birdie putts today and ended up with 5's on a few of them, snap hooked my driver on one of the par 5's, 3 off the tee for a 7. The worst thing you can do in golf is to chase a particular score, you have to play and just let it happen, as soon as you know you're about to score well it seems to go to pieces! I am a much longer hitter than my playing partners, being 30 years younger helps 😂, it can be painful to hit it 80 yards further off the tee and still end up with the same score, but it just goes to show that no matter how you get there you've got to keep it together on that green. Best advice I would give to someone trying to break 90 is to work exclusively on your short game, being able to square the club face is A1 in this game, the amount of people who align right and hit with an open face swinging left must be incredibly high, I did the same thing until I realised what was happening. Hitting punch shots to start with will teach you how to square the face at impact, once you've got that down your scores will start to tumble. Good luck for the future 👌

Pretty sure that’s on the easier side of things. But it’s a suburban neighborhood course so it’s very narrow, tree lined and greens are small and protected. Was built in the late 1950s so greens have a lot of slope in areas. I swear hole 1 is at 5-6% slope in areas. Anyway, hope you’re enjoying yourself with the game as much as I am!

My point is: we don’t play enough. Period. We don’t have the time to practice. Period. If you can get it around the green in 2-3 shots you can play great golf by working on that short game. All you need is 20 ft on grass at a park or your side yard or your back yard and you can practice chipping and pitching.

it's wild to me how much I've learned from Matt and adjusted my game to it, even though I'm improving. For example, the discussion of the ball going right->left or left->right on uphill/downhill slopes. Because he mentioned that, I've learned that actually doesn't apply to my swing. Whenever I'm on either of those slopes, my shots go straight as an arrow. But, because I've watched enough videos and he's called it out. I know to understand that my shots go straight in those scenarios.

Having watched hours & hours of KZbin golf "educational" content for the last 6 weeks, shooting +19 & +22 over my local front 9 the last few days I found this video last night, implemented the tips. Played 18 holes today. Shot 88. 88. Can't beleive it tbh, 3 putts finished within an inch, hit a 50foot putt, maybe a fluke, but I was 100% aiming at the hole and it only saved a par, but still, was awesome. 2 bump and runs lipped the cup. Not trying to get the green in 2 was such a massive change, but ultimately actually got me so much closer, or put me in a much better position when I did get on the green. My 7/9i are my best clubs to hit. So utilising these put me in much better positions. Sacked off my 3H ans 3W as I just can't hit them, stuck to a 3/5i if I needed a little more distance or to keep the ball lower. (I've only got odd number irons, as I've only just started and built a bag from Facebook MP) All my other full rounds finished at 101, 100, 102, 101 so I knew I could break 100 on a good day. But taking all these tips on board helped dramatically today. Already counting the days till my next 18.

My daughter is doing junior golf lessons using the Operation 36 model, and when they go out to the course the "tee box" is setup 25 yards from the hole. It stays there until they can shoot 36 or better over 9 holes. The tee box then moves back incrementally every time they can successfully shoot 36 or better from the designated spot.

I’ve been playing consistently for about a year and a half now, I played Saturday and shot my best score ever and it all started last week when I went to the driving range, typically at the range I just get a bucket of balls and swing away but this time I went there with a plan, before every shot I backed off and approached it like I was on the course. I really concentrated on my setup and aim and I could tell it was making a big difference. I took this same approach to my warmup session and then the second thing I did was something you talked about, when it was very unlikely I could make it to the green I didn’t try to get as close as possible but instead used a club I was confident in and layed up to a shot that I had a good chance of making it to the green with. These two things allowed me to shoot a score about ten strokes lower than I usually do. I’m so excited now I was starting to get really frustrated with my game but now I have the passion back. Oh and I have watched several of your videos now and really like them so I finally subscribed to your channel.

I came into golf in my late 30s. I played tennis my entire life so I came in thinking I could just swing away. I could crank a golf ball but had some serious shanks. I got a lot of feedback about how great it was I could hit it so far and nothing fires up the boyfriends like piping a 300 yard drive down the middle. I tried to play regulation golf and just assumed all the blowup holes would just reduce as my swing got more consistent. What I ended up with was a year of frustration, never really getting my score down. I went and saw a coach and learned how to swing easy with tempo. Wish I would have started that way. Now I am always fighting those early developed swing patterns which like to creep up when under pressure. Only golf advice I ever give is see a coach as early as possible.

Smart golf is the way to go. I hit my 7W and 3W much better than driver, very straight and consistent distance. I always hit to about 130-140 yards out from the green because my 9iron and PW are my most accurate irons. On a par 4 350 yards, I would hit 7W 210-220 yards to set myself up to 130-140 yards from the pin. Now I can stick the green with a higher lofted club from the fairway. Smarter play = more pars.

The biggest amateur mistake is not thinking. Too many of us play the same course and use the same clubs every time. Few of use experiment the clubs to see what the alternatives might be. Almost no one changes the tee choice. I recommend changing the tee choice all the time because different tees gives you different looks at the course and should force you to think of different options. High handicappers sleep walk thru a round, giving no thought to club selection, lie, or anything else. An errant ball is always a bad shot, not poor club selection, aiming at the hole when you shouldn’t,etc. Not thinking produces bad shots.

#12 is an essential advice: Without taking one-on-one lessons, YT isn't going to fix your swing. It just ruins it. It also mentally mucks you up.

@conservakid85 Ай бұрын

Exactly. What you think you are doing by following "swing tips" versus what you are actually doing are two completely different things. Feel vs real. Pay for a professional that will have unbiased eyes on your swing with irrefutable data from a launch monitor.

@@conservakid85correct. No one knows what the root cause is. Then they get the wrong fix. Then they implement it wrong. lol!!! Anyone who lucks out, usually that fix lasts 3 weeks then they need a new fix. After 1 year, the swing looks like auntie Annes

Get a lesson and driver you can keep in a play ! I keep having lessons and brought a ping 10k driver with a 1/2 inch off shaft (I’m 6ft) and 12° driver because I still hit down slightly with driver. Fairway finder 😊

With this logic of hitting 3 shots to get on the green (on a par 4) you'll have to nail down your putting to get a bogey with 2 putts. Ie the only way to break 90 with this strat would be to nail down your putting. Great content playa!!

@GolfSidekick Ай бұрын

Yes the only place that is actually EASY to nail down as good as a pro. No one practices it though. They will forever remain in beginner stage then if they never work on it

The most prevalent problem I have is chipping around the green. The grass is very deep at my local courses so it is almost a guaranteed double bogey even if I get a foot off the green in 2

So funny and true. I've had the same core group (8-12) golf buddies for decades. Most of them have shockingly poor course mgmt/decision making skills and they still score in the low 90s consistently.

Really wish guys like you would do situational bunker shots. Sand fundamentals change based on the type of sand (firm, wet, more concrete-like, more beachy, etc) and also the lie in the sand (it's uphill with a huge lip to clear with wet-cement level sand, it's a downhill lie on the far side of the bunker but a huge lip to clear to even get on the green, followed by only 8 feet of green before the pin, with a ridge after so if it goes long you're off the green still, etc) this has been the most frustrating thing about bunkers in my 25 years of playing. It's always different and the standard "hit 1-2 inches behind the ball, confidently, without descellerating" doesn't apply to like 80% of bunker shots on public courses that all have different sand and the design of the bunkers isn't always conducive to the sand they're using.
