How to Go From Breaking 90 to BREAKING 80 in Golf

[@eldricklim6036]

i would love to win that golden divot tool. The only thing i’m missing is having golf sidekick with me at my round of 18 haha

[@GolfSidekick]

Hey Eldrick, you win. Why? Because you sound like you need the gold divot tool Send me email to matt AT golfsidekick.com and please tell me your full name address phone number And attach a picture of you editing this comment. Screengrab.

[@ScottCormier383]

I am exactly where B-Dog is with regard to scoring and ability, and the vids have helped me immensely. Keep these coming please!

[@rubbertoe8942]

Same here. I've shot 81 the last 3 rounds and it's all trying the shot I think I can vs i know I can hit.

[@GolfSidekick]

@@rubbertoe8942 you must change yourself

[@GolfSidekick]

first girls!

[@warriorsbaseball24]

Your 2 iron.. when the big dog is upset its like fighting with an ex 😵‍💫 my 5 isn’t long enough off the tee, cheers mate!

[@PolsgroveProductions]

Breaking 90 would make my game a lot more fun, starting to get that since of professionalism the lower my score gets would be awesome

[@corey3145]

You not coming to the Midwest USA Bruh! Other than that, game is as fun as it's ever been. Mac is playing well and figured some things out., been playing more with some old high school buds. Golf life is good! Waddamomenttobealive!

[@PolsgroveProductions]

@@corey3145 I live in the Mid West 👍👍

[@corey3145]

@@PolsgroveProductions there needs to be a Mid West Playa's game sometime.

[@hopefulgolf320]

I really love the markers for the previous rounds! It sort of gives the whole journey more merit when you clearly can see the changes along the way.

[@PipeaStripeGolf]

Waddaround! Honestly, B-Dog is there. This round proves it. The 70s score will embrace its newest playa in no time. What would make golf more fun? I have no complaints playboy. The game is fun if you let it be. Sun, air, grass, friends… waddalife, waddagame.

[@donutkastle]

I literally fist pumped for Bdog when he holed his chip! Waddaman

[@08jmichael]

The editing for hole #12 is hilarious! Well done Matt and great shot B-Dog!

[@SocksWthSandals]

More friends to play with would make it more fun for me. Even if it is pretty zen being out on the course by yourself.

[@wileyNth]

That's why golf is a social game. Let a solo play through your foursome? No way. He needs friends trash talking him to get the credentials.

[@mackenziec]

Playa - I'm finally starting to make consistent tee shots, less poofies. Broke 90 twice in the last 3 rounds, shot 86 last round (92, and 87 the prior 2) with so many opportunities for my short game to take me to low 80s. For so long my long game was my reason I stayed out of the 80s. This series is very timely. Recently my successful swing change (less wrist cock) has made me so much more consistent, but I need to relearn my distances a bit to dial back in, probably lost a few yards. Loving the journey! Good luck B-Dog! I'm going to be practicing locking in my tempo and relaxation while dialing in my wedge / chipping / putting game.

[@camelcase9225]

What's missing for fun? Having my good friend and also avid amateur golfer live in my city again so we can get out and make each other's game better. We've both been following you for a few years now and our games have drastically improved since probably 2015. We at least always break 90 but are at the cusp of regularly breaking 80. We get together a few times per season and the rounds are always so much more fun than with strangers because we pump each other up and elevate each other's games. I miss that a lot, especially since we're both getting to the single digit handicap mark.

[@ShawnyBGolf]

This is seriously one the best videos out there, shows and proves a little warm up/practice and familiarity before playing can make a huge difference!!! Also crazy how Bdog was trying to break 100 what seems like yesterday and now flirts with 80. Amazing stuff!!! Thank you for bringing hope to a beginner haha.

[@lachd2261]

This round was the chef’s kiss. You can almost taste the 79 coming.

[@hodlsage8968]

What is missing ? That Wadaplaya attitude! I legit watch your videos before I golf to get into that easy going attitude and it 100% helps! Cheers!

[@darrenpeha3171]

I love watching your videos, but this series with B-Dog is the best. He is right where I am at average wise, but I have hit a plateau, and can't seem to improve anymore. I plan on taking lessons when the season ends, and remaking my swing to get to the next level. Swing on Playa.

[@stuartamcmanus]

The drive at 5:50 was just the most beautiful tempo B-Dog! Whaddaplaya!

[@jonathanblanchard8964]

14:02 commentary on 12 green was phenomenal. Awesome video and series. Keep it up Matt+Bdog!

[@jonathanblanchard8964]

13 tee as well lol. fantastic editing!

[@kendob9642]

My bucket hat arrived. With great power comes great responsibility. Thank you Matt!

[@tonypera6070]

I love these videos! The improvement. The guidance. Keep them coming !

[@spartanical]

this was a great video. seriously good course management ideas from you. i'll be pondering all of these concepts and then implementing them when I play next. btw, you have great comedic timing in your editing. had me cracking up.

[@Navycopjoe]

What’s missing for fun? This is easy. Playing with my good friends from Hawaii. Since I moved to Rhode Island I play with different people. It’s all good but playing with friends who have a IDGAS attitude and do it for FUN makes a load of difference.

[@bogey2phoenix]

As a fairly new golfer I have watched pretty much all Of your videos regarding stroke shaving . I came up with a totally new approach to the game I have actually never considered. Can’t wait to make a new video and see how much things can be improved ! Thanks a lot ! Keep the good tips coming

[@trvansant]

“We do have a chance here, if he remembers to get it on the-“ WOOO 🎶

[@chrisd_nc2816]

I am following B-dog’s journey as it is very close to mine. However, I am a bit older at 67 years old. Lol. Yesterday I shot a personal best 85. My average is low 90s so this was a huge improvement for me and mostly a result of slowing down my swing and getting into a better tempo. I focus a lot on chipping and putting and that has helped lower my scores. Can’t wait for Brian to break into the 70s. Watching with much anticipation. Love the channel and the content. Thanks Matt. Waddaplaya!

[@joewills2878]

I can't believe I'm watching the same playa. B-Dog has come along way. These videos are a great help to me and my game. Thank you!

[@paulvincent3937]

Best series yet. Brilliant viewing and loved the chip in. I'm now finding that when I'm playing and have a birdy chance the music is going in my head.

[@joeldesouza305]

So good. Love the progress BDog has made. For anyone not aware, go back and find the vid of his lesson at the range. Whaddalife

[@kevinpeterson8211]

Absolutely enjoy each video! I learn something new and get entertained....every time! AND BONUS: the music’s fun, as well. Finally, my golf is better and much more enjoyable. Thank you.

[@Gnarley69]

Honestly, I'm having the most fun with golf over the past week and a half. Doing much better at following the WOTP, and now 5 rounds with freshly fitted new irons and wedge, last 4 of which have been my first 4 sub 100 rounds. Confidence and fun level trending upward. Thinking about rewarding myself with some Waddaplaya accessories for Christmas. (would do it sooner, but golf budget went to the irons). Be warned 90, I'm coming for you. Onward and downward! Wishing many birdies to all Playas!

[@stuartcaldwell2262]

What I need is a golf course. Still in lockdown. Thanks for the vids, they help ward off insanity.

[@darkace37]

Great Round B-Dog. You inspire me. Its been a pleasure watching you improve!

[@bluesunproductions9079]

Amazing series. Please do more like this. Bdog represents a lot of us out there. Congrats to Bdog. He has to feel amazing to have improved so much. Thank you 🙏

Buy one playa, my order just arrived in pristine condition with a personalized note. Support our boy!

[@mitchpowell608]

Hey man....thanks so much for all your content. Been watching you all summer. Gotten my average score down to the mid 80's and have broken 80 twice. You totally changed my game player...Thanks man

[@GolfSidekick]

You are welcome but YOU changed everything playa. I merely gave you a key. You needed to find the lock!

[@tjones2991]

Im missing consistency. Translating the range tempo to the course. On the course i get quick come over the top. My contact is good but my divet is always left of the target. I've learned to just play the shape and not worry about making adjustments on the course

[@Jabootylolz]

You learned the hardest lesson to be fair. Most casual golfers try to fix whatever they are doing during a round instead of just playing your tendencies and fixing it after.

[@BigSGDawg77]

It’s really good to see BDOG getting better and better. What a playa! Send him my positive vibes from the UK! Keep it up! 😎🏌🏻

[@885wc]

Gettin away from ye ol' ball and noose to a new hole is what makes golf fun!

[@greek3k]

I had a similar issue with putting. I found that having my eyes right over the ball (like most suggest) made it so that when I looked up at the hole, it was left of my eyeline, which made me pull the ball. I changed my putting so that my eyes are now about 4-6 inches INSIDE the ball and when I look at the hole it LOOKS better lined up now. Has helped with putts inside 15 or so feet immensely!

[@thegreyraven6533]

Loved this format. Comparing this round to the previous two with shots and scores made it particularly enjoyable.

[@dragoongamingsa5472]

Played my first 90 today, started playing once a week constantly from 3 months ago, your vids helped alot thanks. what I need: More consistency with driver and irons. Driver is straight but lacks the correct aim (Direction), long irons have a weird fade on them.

[@thedadgolfer]

Well played B Dog - the improvement you’ve made is an inspiration to us all.

[@michaelfulford902]

I was seriously screaming and cheering watching this video… edge of my seat content!

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Hi I’ve done well with bdog he looks more confident than he did over the ball an the driver has come alive , that will help him a lot when he can take short irons into the green it’ll give me opportunities to make birdies , best thing I seen was when you made him put off the fringe instead of wedge it. Great move.

[@boeroberts370]

Fully embracing the way of the playaaaa babyyyyyyy!

[@baileymaberto7544]

Ive been really interested in adding a affordable launch monitor to my game like the swing caddie. Often times on the range i like to imagine that i am playing through a course to give my practice some purpose and force me to not just aimlessly swing the same club. A launch monitor would turn those practice sessions into a calculated game

[@BenjaminRodriguez-dt5gz]

I wasn’t going to play today.. but after this video I was pumped to play and scored my best ever round.. broke 90 (87) when I was only looking to break 100 (which I have done several times but set that as the benchmark). Waddalife!

[@wileyNth]

That 87 shows you that you can do it. WOTP man. Keep it up.

[@billwallenstein3387]

Great round Bdog!

[@alaw11]

Easy one! I'm missing a bit of zen in my game... too much self-induced stress!

[@animeidiot8649]

My life on the golf course! "it is damage control mode from here! Boom-babba-boom-boom! and dem sweet jazzy tunes" lol. Btw I love the content. Watching your videos about the course management, miss hit management and general vibe of succeeding playa I managed to get around 85 on my first go after dry spell of 6 months, and previous score of 98! Thanks!!!

[@Mannchini]

Love it! Let's keep these coming

[@iurkel]

Well played BD! Great video also, enjoyed every minute, and learned some things

[@TheGolfHackr]

3:30 when that music rolls in you know BDog is on for something special

[@Wzrd850]

What’s missing from my game you ask? The ability to make consistent contact! Kind of hard to play when you don’t know whether you’ll stripe it, hook it, slice it, top it, or chunk it. Getting lessons next season since I’ll be able to afford them. I’ve been experimenting with different drills and swing patterns on the range the last couple weeks. Previous best is 98, but I’m sure I can shoot 90 if I played with the Playa’s mental game.

[@currbag]

Swing easier. Don't worry about swinging into the ball. Let the club fall into the ball. Just guide it

[@gregorybarger9843]

Hey Matt, Just wanted to say thank you. The way of the playa has greatly helped my game. Was a pretty consistent high 80s golfer and just yesterday shot a 77! Keep it up Matty ice.

[@GolfSidekick]

Well done man

[@dustindeville9428]

BDOG has sure improved! Nice work B!

[@swiper1131]

Everytime. the birdie tune gets me so amped up

[@supercacti1]

Amazing to see bdogs improvement over the years. Keep at it mate. You'll be a regular sub 80 player in no time

[@billyarroyo5900]

What's missing in my game to make it more fun? A three inch vertical leap off the right leg with a fist pump that turns into a semi bicep flex from BDog after I make a birdie. Just like the one he did on the 3:42 mark. That was awesome!!!

[@tomconnolly8903]

What’s missing? The boys! Recently had a few changes to work schedules and we haven’t all been able to get together. Playing with your group drowns out all the noise of life and even bad scores.

[@JuanBot]

I'm missing a gold divot tool in my bag to plant birdies and represent Golf Sidekick!

[@Ex-Bootneck]

I feel like fun on the golf course comes from within, but I wish I had a playing partner who I can relate to on and off the course. All about sharing good vibes.

[@nickcronin9254]

Nice round there Bdog. When I'm having a good round, I tend to get in my head the last 1 or 2 holes.

[@average_kdr6208]

Giving myself time to warm up is my biggest downfall.. Loving the progress over last few vids, so relatable. Whats missing in my golf game? Access to a golf course (lock down is the scheizer) and the back lawn isn't quite cutting it 😅.

[@mrwibbly]

i love your advice "keep your glove badge pointed at the hole". this is the ONLY tip i'll ever offer someone during a round if they ask for help. associating the club face with something on your body seems to help immensely. and honestly, bdogg was just focus away from being fine this round. he hit 4 or 5 straight duffs, which should NEVER happen for someone doing that well generally.

[@techmonk3y]

Having a good mental game makes golf mor3 fun. Easy shots Less stress more fun!

[@justinthyme6113]

Approach accuracy. Taking some advice and having a lesson with the local pro on Thursday.

[@Skjeggvekst]

More hours of sunlight! Golfing in Norway is harsh, but still the most fun I can have with shorts on :D

[@marksimpson2321]

The 10th is a brilliant example of how the short game is where it is at. 1 great 4iron tee shot then 5 from within wedge distance. The chip for bogey was great though.

[@supremely93]

That fairway sandy birdie on 2 was super underrated. Massive BDE

[@scotbaxter1579]

Way to Go BDOG

[@NJcinemaHD]

Nothing missing from my game to have fun:D I could play 10 hours a day, if there wasn't the inconvenience of having a job and friends:D To improve i have some swing mechanics i wanna nail down, but am generally happy. Also reading greens could be a lot better!

[@drroger98]

I feel for BDog. So close man. My biggest need is to improve my performance on uneven lies. Especially ball above my feet. Shot 80 last round and the 2 shots I wanted back was topping an iron off severe side slope and not trusting my first read on my last putt when standing over it. Slid it 1/2 inch and would have made with my first read

[@ThePwullbrandt]

I missing your Tuba song, a sexy caddy and Teeski to keep a smile on my face!

[@mjflores4314]

Waddashot by BDOG on 12! Love it! What can make my game more fun? Some waddaplaya gear of course!

[@rushy5065]

Bdogs progress is insanely good and doing it all in front of the camera makes it even more impressive. Love seeing his enthusiasm when he hits great shots - clearly loving the journey which is what it is all about! Quality series this Baus!

[@ajtovar1623]

B-dog sinking birdies is too much fun

[@Firecondor8]

Being consistent off the tee , moved to a 3H , just now moved to 4i when the 3H isn’t working, seeing scores drop to low 90s but still go back and forth with rounds in low 100s

[@GolfSidekick]

LOVE IT

[@yukonliving]

What’s missing in my game? More playas to share a round with! Being on course, with birds chirping, smells of beautiful fresh cut grass teasing your nose while accompanied by a few good friends is tough to beat!

[@user-fp4dr1ne7z]

Great videos! I find myself rooting for BDog lol

[@jacquesdor50]

These videos are great entertainment!

[@brokenbaggolf]

Been watching your videos and practicing a lot differently. 81 is my best but 79 is a round or two away!

[@wntfan656]

I'm missing a second go-to club if the driver isn't working off the tee. I've never been comfortable with long irons. I currently ONLY use them for punch outs to the fairway if I have tree trouble. I should try using my 7-wood...which I consider a friend. I'm pretty consistent with it from the fairway.

[@wileyNth]

Try playing 9 with the 7w off the tee for all par 5's and 4's. Just tried the same with my 3H and -- hit every fairway but one, had the ball in play, and finished with the same ball that I started with. A rarity for me.

[@Unplugged704]

Breaking 80? Damn B-Dog has improved so much!!

[@allentan9426]

Wish I have a friend like Matt who can do the same for me lol. Nice series of videos.

[@ajtovar1623]

I already have a gold divot tool but the biggest weakness in the game right now is consistency off the tee. A good driving day is sub-80. A day where I don't figure out the ball flight off the tee until the back 9, puts me mid 80s.

[@devinharbold4916]

Not living near family to play with them. Nothing better!

[@TheOBrienGirl]

I need to practice on my chipping. It’s hard. Sometimes you stick it and sometimes you crank that son of a gun. We all learn!👍
