What Nobody Tells You About the Short Game - How to Chip Better Before Reaching the Green

[@GhostofEightThoughts]

This guy is the best personality in golf KZbin.

[@krispybowgod9656]

That’s why he was voted Lithuanias top KZbin golfer 10 years in a row

[@GolfSidekick]

You misspelled ‘only’

[@muntjunk-plk3171]

Need him to come play Ron Chopper! He’s just a good playa out of luck

[@mortenhaugan8460]

He is the only personality in KZbin Golf!! Waddaplaya!!!🎉

[@torlefborsting471]

[@rsosa9762]

I laughed so hard when you just holed the 56😂 BOSS!

[@mrautoknut]

As many middle aged golf nuts, I've watched many videos from different 'tubers'. But none IMHO really discuss course management - it's all about golf equipment or swing mechanics. When in fact what you show us is how to think about the course, see the opportunities and understand your best approach is the way to improve your score better. You've helped me think deeply and properly about my game and how to use my modest skills to improve my scores and enjoyment of golf. Thank you. Keep up the excellent content. And I tell all my friends to watch you.

[@stanleyyelnats1313]

I completely agree! I've literally dropped 10 to 15 strokes from my game by LISTENING to what Boss-man says!!!

[@chrislaing8444]

These videos are golden. Your swing and feels will come and go. You need to make sure you’re adapting your strategy along the way, otherwise you’ll keep expecting yourself to do shot’s you simply can’t do. Eradicating unnecessary errors are the fastest way to get better at golf.

[@TheDarwin1564]

I’m also preaching the Gospel of Matty

[@Johnno010]

Excellent point. The irony is that when we take the hyper focus off of the golf swing mechanics, the more relaxed and effective our swing becomes. Thats what’s happening with my game. Fun times!

[@Luke_MoonWalker]

It's a game of strategy, not skill or athleticism. That's why obese 60 year old's can play it well.

Matty boom boom, could you a video on how to approach getting distracted, or playing after getting flustered, maybe emotions from outside of golf, weird interaction with someone then having to swing, idk stuff like that. If that sounds dumb, then nevermind lol.

[@eazyeach1876]

Not dumb at all. A mental video about how to deal with life stuff and still hitting good golf shots would be awesome.

[@Heathcliff_1600]

5:39 One thing I disagree with is not using the 60. 2x a week, practice chipping into a bucket in the backyard for 30 minutes after work, and I think the average bear can develop touch. It’s become my comfort club around the green! Same concept applies for reading like a putt- I just imagine my aim point is that bucket from the backyard and I’m golden. Thank you for your content, man! You have radically improved how I think and play the game. In my second year of golf now and I’m consistently shooting mid 80’s. I cannot thank you enough.

[@jcoleman924]

That female influencer comment had me dying lolol

[@frankpeng2448]

Most of the time, I don't worry about the score. I just play what I envision to be the best shots and take the bogeys and double bogeys, even triple bogeys as they come. This gives me many insights on what to do and not to do. Over time, my scores got better, my techniques got better. I also play more on Pitch & Putt courses to improve the short game. I feel the driving range is only good for warming up, correcting flaws and fine tuning. Then again, hitting off a mat is not realistic. No sure if any of you do the same thing.

[@juiceqc7716]

Nice one Matty BB ... I'm going to take an extra club because I've been having a lot of soya milk in my coffee and I ate too much tofu last night. High quality life advice. Bob Rotella would be proud.

Matty, your channel is the best, most relevant one out there. Your delivery is low key and the content does not fill my head with stuff I cannot do. I've taken about ten shots off my handicap over the 18 months I have been subscribed and following your mantra. Thank you, golf is enjoyable now.

Bro i have been reading articles on your website for 3 years. It how i ended up with my current irons i finally got. I'm on you tube following a golf coach about my swing and game. And its horrible i cant Strick a ball to save my life. Not once did i check to see you have you tube channel and I'm glad i found it because i been in a mental slump. I cant strike my irons nor my driver but one thing i have done for years is always only 2 to 3 put. My buddies add my on there scrambles just for me to do that, lol . I practice more than they do. Hours and hours on the range and gotten no where. So, its time for a swing coach. i chip well when i don't blade it, but my confidentiality is all in my putting lol. I said all this to say thank you for the mental reset...ResPect

[@GolfSidekick]

Following KZbin swing advice will ruin your chances playa. Definitely get an in person coach. You’ll see improvement

[@kevinfraser2482]

Changed my game so much for the better, not hitting the ball better with longer clubs but I've learned I dont need to, place the ball better and play my good clubs more often from better position

[@Master...deBater]

If you struggle with long irons...take a 3 iron only to the range and learn to hit it. All the other irons will feel like wedges! In my youth I struggled to hit anything longer than a 7 iron. In my case I grabbed a 2 iron and hit it until I could draw or fade with it at will...now the longer irons are my favorite clubs. Try it.

@@GolfSidekick, it's simple enough that even I can do it. For chipping: 3 Releases (#1 - toe-down bump & run, #2 - Standard, & #3 - Lob {but only for those who have MASTERED #1 & #2). For Pitching: 3 stance widths (1, 2, or 3 club heads apart), choose bump-&-run or standard release based on preference and let foot spacing determine the length of back swing. No more clock-position. Just use the same swing w/ SW, GW, PW, & 9I to cover 30-100 yards... It's almost like there is a BAUSE in SE Asia giving out this free advice...

[@amarcynuk8]

Being a confident putter is a shockingly good way to be a great putter. If you believe you'll make every single putt you will make more of them. It's crazy. I used to stand over the ball and do practice strokes over and over and I would consistently leave the ball short of the hole. Now I line it up, stand over the ball and visualize the ball doing exactly what I need it to do in order to go in. Then I hit my putt and rake in the dough.

Your "easy chip" just about made me fall off my chair... I do love this approach and need to do it more. I usually think backwards form the green while at the tee, but have been focusing on distances to break up the hole, but not about the possible misses along the way! It should be a simple addition to my course management thinking, just a few more seconds might make a huge difference.

[@johngendron1433]

This approach of always planning, selecting shots, taking what the course presents keeps you engaged all the way through. Then golf is a true break away from everything else, good or not so good.

[@aluminumfalcon552]

All my stokes over right now are in my long game, hitting into trees, OB, lost balls, etc. I’m actually getting up and down like a baus.

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice playa Here is. suggestion: Pay attention to the shot shape Pay attention to how much it misses your landing area Shift your target to the left or right instead so the ball lands there Often lost balls and OB are from wrong targets for the shot pattern and also zero commitment to the shot you have chosen. The commitment may be down to cinfidence in the club or your brain not aligning your shot shape to the target you selected. You can work on understanding your shot shape and aim for it, see a pro or use higher loft off the tee to ensure a ball in play
