How to Break 70 on a New Course as an Amateur

Contact/email: [e-mail] for collaboration/partnership opportunities
This is how I played to break 70 on a course I had never played before. There were some wayward shots in the beginning and as usual, no range to warm up on.

I took what I learned from Mo. I rejected what i could not gel with. I gelled with what i liked. I played within myself and accepted my game as it was. I learned to just hit my long irons and have longer approaches into the greens.
I got much better inside pitching wedge range. That was the ultimate goal of the trip so I was happy to get that done.

Stay away and remove people from your life the same way I do to negative people. Anyone comments about the length of the course, how easy the course is, any of that - they get blocked. I suggest you do the same with people in your life who belittle your achievements. Only cowards would tear another person down who achieves something however small that thing appears to other people.
To some people, those small accomplishments are huge for the achievers. And when zooming out, you see that that small accomplishment is BEYOND ANYTHING THE COWARD has ever achieved himself.
When I see people commenting or sending messages to me that they broke 80 but the course was ONLY 6,200 yards, or was only 6,000 yards, I feel bad for them because they diminish their achievement. Or when people say they broke 90 on a course but it was par 70. There is no caveat. You achieve what you achieve and I am thrilled for you.
Anyone who has ever achieved anything will recognize achievers. There is a minority of people who do achieve anything and will be able to recognize you and your accomplishments. Those are your people. The other majority who tear you down, or condescend or get sarcastic about what you've done....leave them behind. Find the block button, and use it in real life.!
Life is too short, Waddalife. Fill it with beautiful people and beautiful experiences. Waddaday.

You know you are an addict to Matt's content, when you are on the course, playing - and when you get to putt, the celebration song from the video starts playing in your head.

Or you step up to the driver, damn tuba,still my fav is... Absolutely Stunning!

[@markfitzpatrick360]

Mo’s little noise when you hit a good shot hahaha

[@lucascaryk6952]

Watching Matt’s videos have been such a game changer for me. I broke 100 today! (shot 96)

[@djbreal87]

A year ago my best round of 18 was 132, and just 2 days ago I shot 102, and today im hoping to break 100. Its been a journey, but like you, these videos have really helped me with my thought process in playing.

[@djbreal87]

Update. I broke 100, and have been playing golf 3 days a week, and am averaging 90-95. Hoping to break 90 this week.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

@@djbreal87 wow,, nice work!

[@djbreal87]

@@PNW_Sportbike_Life Update! Best round now is 86, but I feel Im def hitting a plateau. Without proper lessons not sure how much better I can do. My consistency is much improved, and regularly am shooting in the low to mid 90s. Would love to get to scratch golfer levels of play, but I am a LONG way off from that.

[@wuest1717]

That's the old Tiger strategy. You can talk or complain about your shot all you want but pick an imaginary line out in front of you and when you cross it you never think of that shot again. It's a brilliant way to get around the course.

[@djdh89]

I like when you hit a good shot Mo says "hoohoo"!

[@mattgarber8947]

What a great video. Intense action on 5, dragonfly tracer, backing away to save a shot, and a beautifully composed final putt. An all-time classic!

[@GolfSidekick]

Dragon Fly stole the show

[@wileyNth]

@@GolfSidekick Dragonflies in multiple videos I've noticed when slowing down playback and was wondering when they'd make their debut. Another editing genius move is the "WOOO!" in Jump Higher almost always happens just before a putt rolls in the hole. But the big picture of golf is even better - plan back from the hole, hit shots you like, GIOTG, get tee shot in play, and much more. I'm personally planning my practice time on

[@pzazzcreativemedia7205]

"just hit the ball Roy'... another classic line there ha.. well done

[@jacobmccain8082]

I thought I was the only one who caught that. Well done indeed!

[@lollipophugo]

Whenever I hit a "safe shot" poorly and start thinking "oh I should have just hit driver" to counter this I think about where my ball would be if I had hit the same bad shot with it - 99% of the time it would be 70m further into trouble. This has helped me stop following up a bad tee shot on one hole with a bad one on the next, a bad shot normally formed by a poor decision and not so much poor technique. Love your videos mate.

[@PipeaStripeGolf]

ProMo: "I think your handicap is better than me" High praise from the man. Also, I like the homemade pink hanky deadcat. The audio is nice!

[@Shaxra59]

You played so well, Mo must have got fed up saying 'what a shot' so often. Fantastic to watch someone playing that good.

[@tommythammavongkeo1577]

[@mikemccoy4716]

Had a “way of the playa” moment today. Hit a weak drive on a par 5 that’s normally reachable in 2. Instead of hitting a 3 wood on my 2nd shot, I laid up to 100 yards, stuck the wedge close, then made the putt for birdskie. I could hear the music playing in the background!

[@mishaketchell2706]

I love watching these. Terrific video, makes me want to play. One thing I've noticed is that Matt very rarely misses short putts but his approach to them is very casual. You would never see a pro do some of the little tap ins with a wedge of the back of a putter. But watching Matt's overall game it seem he is a very good putter and his relaxed attitude helps him (less jabbing and pulling and blocking and stressing).

[@GolfSidekick]

Perhaps changes if there is something on the line. But mostly I just don't really care in general until after the round then I go, WHAT WAS I THINKING MISSING A 2 FOOTER WITH THE BACK OF THE 3 IRON!

Love seeing you in the ol' stomping grounds and talkin' sense you learned. Those shots around the green add up. Playas, do not compromise. If you have to tell the caddie to go get the right stick. I played today and it came up twice. Once I compromised. Hit wrong club. HIT it shite. Next time I got the right club. Hit it close. Be your own playa!
