How to BREAK 80 in Golf Consistently

[@GolfSidekick]

Playas I apologize. I was editing and counting and counting over and over. I couldn’t understand why the score kept coming to 79 when i knew it was 80. I counted 5 on the 13th and never even realised it was a 6. I had to pretend there was a fluffed bunker shot on the par 5 15th but there wasnt. That was a double bogey. The score is 80. I just screwed up the counting while editing and couldnt lie about a 79.

[@LairdElManny]

Bee Dawg still proved the way of the playa is a proven path to golf enlightenment. STROKES SHAVED BEBEH!

No biggie. He'll get it soon. #science

[@cla3189]

No worries playa. Great video

[@LairdElManny]

@@thehairygolfer Between the playa in chief and Gen ling, I've also had the same expedited golf progress with my game as well. Ive only been playing for about 2 years now and im creeping into the sub 80's along with B dawg. I miss J-bone :)

[@darwinrjackson]

How does he not get the gimme on 13?? that was like 15 inches.

[@SamuelConovitz]

Best memory of the golf season? Playing with my boyfriends before I moved out of state. Those last few rounds were bitter sweet, the beers cold, and the memories priceless.

[@dmkfactor1721]

I just had my all time low of 77 on Tuesday along with a hole-in-one, my first! Love this channel and feel like it’s truly helped me think about golf better and make better decisions. I’ve followed a lot of your advice for breaking 100, and I did! Took your advise for breaking 90, and then I did! Now I’ve finally broke 80! Thank you for all of the help!

[@christopher7763]

Inspired to see B-DAWG improve his game so much. He looks like a completely different player now. Congrats to him!

[@GolfSidekick]

Totally different vibe from him!!

[@GolfSidekick]

@@JK-cu7mh No, not for pitching, but for chipping I agree - next phase in his development will be the chip and run

[@steez54321]

I almost quit golf after shooting 110 and 3 years of playing twice a month and practicing short game 1-2 times a week. I just shot 92-86-86 in my last 3 rounds for my all time lowest score of 86! Thanks Matt and Bdog for helping me find hope and getting me to not give up the greatest game. If Bdog can shoot 80 so can I! Especially after watching him over a year ago when he was shooting around 100!

[@DaksDominoes]

My favorite memory this season was planting my first feather, and then getting a birdie the next day! Plant feathers, grow birdies!

[@Jonno8653]

That was so selfless of b dog to miss that 2 foot putt so we could have more breaking 80 videos. What a man!

[@alansimpson2371]

Fav memory from this season: draining a 15 footer for par on 18 for my first sub-70 round in 25 years. Go BDog!

[@josephnorton1996]

Best memory happened last week. I was solo. Hitting on a par 3. There was a group of 4 playing ahead of me, I thought they had left the par 3(nothing on the green) after I had hit, I could see them coming out of the woods, heading to the green area. I yelled at them and they watched my shot stop 6" from the hole. I apologized to them, but they were cheering for me instead of being mad. Ended up finishing the round with those guys.

[@Lapi-1984]

His play has improved SO much. He’s going to break 80 soon for sure. He’s got the assets and the skills to get there. I like everything about this series: the work ethic, your coaching, the mental toughness and Bdog’s power baus attitude

[@nitropenguin424u]

Thankyou for what you do. Your vids took me from 90’s to a 78 inside a season. Literally fist pumped the air on that first birdie by bdog. Bro im invested :D

[@johnlee2004]

This is one of the, if not the best golf channel for learning course management. Hands down. Period.

[@Greggy-Golfs]

I finally broke 80 with a 76 last week. New course and playing with the boys. I finally got fitted for wedges and I can’t recommend doing that more. Game changer around the greens and I had way more birdie opportunities and short par putts. Love these vids of B Dog -and watching the process. 🙌🏼

[@hobo7070]

Best memory of the golf season has been teaching my 12 year old to play golf...starting out with the stress free way which is much more fun for him and thus keeps him interested. He has gone from barely getting the ball up at the range to now hitting solid drives and gorgeous chips around the green. So proud of my little man.

[@abhialur5084]

Bdog is the man! Fave memory of this golf season shooting my lowest score yet (been playing for 2 years, but past 5 months seriously) of an 86 with a triple bogey on 18!! An absolute vibe.

[@MrDlynn1011]

Favorite memory of this golf season was playing a spontaneous 18 on my brother's 30th birthday in June and shooting 140 after not playing for 10+years. Had so much fun I've been playing every week since. Last round was 104.

[@richardcrowley5401]

My best memory for me was FINALLY breaking 90 and doing so by 6 shots! I made a birdie on 18 to get home with 84 and it also won me my first competition on countback. WOTP was fully engaged.

[@josephmarr279]

I’ve been battling to break 80 for almost 3 seasons, stuck at a consistent mid-80s score. Yesterday I finally did it! Shot a 78. Your videos have been so incredibly helpful over the last year and a half. Thank you!

[@jonathonprestonemail]

Best memory of the season was watching my buddy win his first club championship by shooting a 41/41 (82) and a 48/36 (81) over two rounds. The par 36 was his lowest nine holes of his life and he planted at least five feathers and played the 3-3-3 system in the way of the Playa. Ottawa Canada planting feathers and growing Birdies for golfers everywhere.

[@Mtsung3]

dude, the way you cut your own commentary off on the 18th, priceless! A playa knows when he's humbled by the great game 😉

[@GolfSidekick]

I was hopeful. I was HOPEFUL!!!! Hope is a fools game

[@norms4831]

Playa! My favourite memory was YESTERDAY! I ran in to a guy wearing the 'holes' shirt you're wearing in this video at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario Canada (playing in a best ball tourney) and said, "Hey Playa, best ball is not playing WOTP!" He proceeded to show me his planting feathers towel, his feather divot tool, and so I said "Matt's the Baus and I'm happy to be one of his disciples!" He concurred. It was my first run in with a fellow Playa!! Keep it up brother, I remember B Dog's first video - wow he's come a LONG way, and MOST of it is mental, not mechanical! Love you boyfriend! :)

[@redraidr12]

Favorite memory: Broke 90 for the first time this season. Can honestly say the way you break down shot philosophy and just your golf mantras in general I absolutely use. Getting shot help on KZbin is dicey, but getting strategy and breaking down things the way you do is really quite unique. It is immensely appreciated!

[@MrPackerfan304889]

Got my first 79 the morning after watching two of these breaking 80videos. This is the best instructional golf content out there for any skill level!

[@tanveermiglani5941]

Matt I'm so impressed with your videos quality continuing to climb. Keep it up Playa! The visuals: tracers on shots, hole maps, distance analysis before Bdog swings, the round 1/2/3 green approach marking, green sloping, and notes of the goals of the round...are absolutely mint! I feel like I'm playing the round with you with all the thinking process displayed. Can't imagine the time it takes you to edit but keep it up mate, it's helping me make my thought process more efficient on the course

[@rayhslim]

My fondest memory of this season is when I took my 8 year old daughter for a round and she got her first par ever on a par 3 hole. She was so happy and couldn't stop talking about it for rest of the day. :)

[@n3v3rsvff3r2]

Best memory this season was breaking 90. Went bad 48 then a miraculous 40 on back. It was a great feeling. Set a new bar for me to reach. Thanks Playa for the content and go BDog!

[@maciejwittbrodt7524]

Best memory of this golf season... ...was when I got 103 on a score card after going through "How to break 100" 6 episodes. I did my best to follow all the rules and my colleague summarized the round for me all I could do is seat down and breathe as I couldn't believe that after a solid year of playing >120 I saw 103 on a score card (too many memories and tries went through my head to be still standing). That just hit me out of nowhere, was unexpected. I like now golf more and looking forward to the 9 as a first digit on a score card :) Thank you life changing golf Guru! :) Greetings from Poland.

[@zachreel6466]

I've loved watching B-Dogs progress. You've been a good friend and coach to him!

[@randymarion2466]

My best memory of this season ... I mostly play in nine hole after work leagues. Been working on swing mechanics w/ a coach for the last nine months... earlier this season, I knew I was hitting the ball better, but not much score improvement. Then I found Golf Sidekick! That was when I realized that my problem wasn't so much the inability to strike the ball well as much as it was how to play the game! Very subtle, but powerful! I have been playing golf for over 50 years, and this season I shot my first ever 40. I was 1 over with 4 left to play when disaster happened ... a big, ugly triple bogey! I remembered your words, got my shit together to par the next hole, and finish bogey, birdie for my first ever 40.... I lifted a glass in your general direction that night man! Thanks for all you do!

[@kipdane]

I was cracking myself up saying, "Crap! BDog how could you miss that...." Yeah, like I would do any better? Awesome video and congrats to BDog on a great 81!

[@richardjo88]

Besr memory of the golf season - after an 18 month delay due to Covid, finally getting away on tour with good friends for 3 days and 3 rounds, finishing the last day with all 7 seven of us wearing 7 different Waddaplaya shirts. Pure bliss

Watching the evolution of BDog is really inspiring. He seems like such an eager learner too. And those 60 degree shots are so satisfying to watch!

[@jacobwilliams8038]

That Paige Spirinac comment was gold!!! Also my best memory was my very first par and first birdie of the season! Absolutely beautiful.

[@bafoon]

My best golf memory from this year is playing a round with one of my boyfriends who lives out of town and I haven't seen since the beginning of quarantine. Played a short muni and had a good time telling stories, drinking a few beverages, and making plenty of birdies in Chicago's perfect summer weather. Good times were had!

Best moment was chipping in from 20 yards to save par. I aimed for the fringe and watched it slowly roll 15 feet downhill into the cup....like a baus!

BDog is the bauuusss!! Hang in there cowboy, impressive imrpovement from the last months!! Best memory of the season: organizing my first birthday tournament with my lads and having one of the most awesome days of my adult life.

[@danielcohen3159]

This was a real breakthrough season for me, so a bunch of good memories. I had an eagle courtesy of a jarred wedge shot from 70 yards on a par-4. I had a hole-in-one early on in the season, in January. And I shot two rounds of even par, one on my home course and one in Nebraska with my Dad and Mom. So that last one is probably my favorite, really. And still so much to work on in the game! That's what I love (and hate) about golf: there's always something to work on; always something to improve.

[@Drums-ve8on]

Amazing how Bdog’s swing has improved in such a short time. WADDAPLAYA! Also, so impressed that our favorite golf sidekick is working with others to improve their game as well. Waytogo!

[@shadowz022]

My favorite memory of the season was watching a hawk absolutely demolish two squirrels on the 18th hole at my home course. Keep up the good work playa, these videos are excellent!

[@mr5039]

Favorite memory of the season, watching my son put it within 5’ on 17 at TPC Sawgrass 👍👍👍👍

[@gjabbar]

B-Dog is an inspiration. I remember when he was a slice master. Great work!!

[@tsenre15]

My favourite memory this season was a team scramble event, 4 drives to count per playa. The highest handicap in our group had struggled off the tee all day, he hit a good one of the 16th but I hit a beast which put us in such a good spot we had to use it. He still needed two drives! We get to the 17th, tee is at the back with 160yards of long deep shiza to carry. He steps up, all of us hold our breath, he swings, makes decent contact. I run up the tee box to see the land half a yard passed the rough rolling out down the fairway! "It's made it, it's actually made it" I shout, we all cheer. I've never been so happy on the course!

[@jameskbaylis]

My first eagle! It was a par 5. I hit a good drive, then a good hybrid 3 which left me about 85 yards to an elevated green. I hit my 54° wedge. It came out low and hot. I thought it would have gone long. I had recently learned how to compress the ball though. And I see the ball land left of the pin. I can't tell how much past the hole it is, but I see the ball start rolling to the right, closer and closer to the pin, and then... it disappeared! One of my playing partners yelled, "it went in!" The other two didn't even see it. One's eyesight is just that bad and the other one had his head down as he was preparing for his next shot. That's my first and only eagle to date and that's my favorite memory from this season. Thanks Playa. Love watching your videos and playing no stress golf.

[@jacksonbevan427]

Amazing to watch videos of BDOG go from trying and failing to break 100 to this in a couple of years

[@MCJJtracks]

Best memory this season was my first (and only) birdie with my cousin who's like a brother and a much better golfer than me. Par 4 and hit a 160 yard approach shot within 10 feet and made the one putt. Golfing with family and trying to hit great shots is the best. Going to golf with him again before the year ends hopefully. Thanks to you and your sis for the vids mate happy golfing

[@danielcohen3159]

Tempo with PW is soooo much better and smoother. I've found that when you focus on tempo/rhythm with any full swing club it can't help but leak into the other clubs. Tempo and strategy is everything. Great round, B-dog. Great coaching, Matt.

Best memory of the season.. playing my first ever competition as a 8-months-beginner-playa and scoring a +18 90! Felt like a baus big time! After 3 more months I’m now playing regularly in the mid-80s, dreaming of the day I will finally break 80! Good stuff by B-dog, super motivating!! 🍻

[@benstrachan3418]

I love watching the improvement. It gives me hope!

[@zachm1098]

My favorite memory is using winning my most recent tournament in a 3 way playoff by using what I have learned from following this channel. This channel has taught me to keep a level head in all circumstances and that is what gets rewarded in the game of golf. Not playing aggressively all the time and hoping for the miracle shot 3ft from the pin.

[@johnhatch3071]

My best memory of this season was my hole in one back in June. It was witnessed by 3 of my best buddies from teenage years and honestly they were more excited than I was which made me happy. We enjoyed a great evening after over many beers, dinner and a dip in the pool. 162 yards to an elevated green with a 6 iron, lucky shot but I’ll take it! Waddalife ⛳️🍻👊

Breaking 80 for the first time with a 79! Also first round with 3 birdies. Very nice! Need more feathers to plant

B-dogg is playing so well! My best memory of this summer (and sorry,don’t mean to Bragg playas) is my first ever hole in one! It came on the 18th hole on the last day of a 4 day golf weekend. Couldn’t believe it. Got goosebumps!

[@WanderThereYonder]

My favorite memory was the amazing feeling after smoking my drive and fairway wood shot to land on a 545 yard par 5 green at my home course in 2 strokes. It is hard to ignore the trauma of the 4 putt that followed though XD

[@saufisoups89]

Whaddatransformation playa. Loving the zen from BDog, he just seem unbothered by roughs, bad shots and bunker. Indeed the mentality journey is far greater than the swing itself. This calls for a game with him and Birdie Bank Meister JMac

[@tomfowles5871]

That was awesome to watch!! Best memory of the season was catching up with a fellow playa here in Sth Australia, never met before, connected through this community and had a blast of a round together. Both played like absolute shite and should’ve brought our own tubas, but it's all about the friendship and #waddalife!! This BDog series has been epic.... Loved every second of it!! Thanks Baus Matt

The highlight of my year so far was the last shot of my first lesson in forever. Left with supreme confidence, and it carried over to the course and second half of the season. shelved the ego, asked for help, results.

[@daviddickens4577]

Watching B-Dog's prorgress has been fun. Favorite memory of the season? Probably going way of the playa in a skins game last month. Had my partners trying to talk me out of hitting driver on a short par 4. But I wasn't comfortable with the 3 wood since I couldn't miss left on this hole. And mid iron didn't excite me. So I hammered the driver and proceeded to make a long putt to win some dough. I just had to play what I was comfortable with.

[@djdavetheturntableslave3075]

Loved watching BDog's journey...well done bro...

[@ObnoxiousProduction]

I thought that I was improving at a good pace, but then I see BDog, and I'm even more amazed at how fast some people can improve. Bdog is proof that we all can improve and reach our goals as long as we are willing to put in the work for it. I'm sure he has more time than the average person to play a little more rounds, but even so, the dedication paid off. Well done man! Whenever I'm having a bad round or practice session, I'll just divert myself back to this and remind myself to play some stress free golf baby!

[@TheSheldonblack]

Great round! I love the channel and following B Dogg's progress. 😎❤⛳

[@bentman013]

15 handicap - and this year, it was first breaking 90, and now, I've broken 80 at two different courses. Both 79's - and today, three birdies (first ever back to back, and first ever more than two in a round). Getting out of my head and choosing the right shots has been key. Prime example was today - Par 5. 265 to the hole over a ravine/hazard. I'm watching two guys pull out 3 woods to try and get it over. They both fail. I'm standing there with a 9 iron to lay up, and then a 100 yard chip with a 2 putt par. Bought a bucket hat off of you - wife hates it, I love it, and I'm having fun with it. Thank you for making this fun.

[@bentman013]

And you're right - inside my PW range, is what I've worked on the most. PW, Approach, how to hit the 3 quarter/half shots, the Hinge and Hold chipping I took from Phil Mickelson - a whole arsenal in my bag that has proven deadly out there.

[@mackenziec]

Best memory this year was this week - after some prime advice from Playa-in-chief, I got my focus on and pulled off a PB 82, largely by stringing together 4 epic up and downs on the back nine and playing confident clubs to keep the ball in play on 17/18 holes. Wasn't even hitting it that well but had my year best score by 4 strokes. Normally I get worse on the back nine but actually shot 42/40 on par 35/37. That and probably my first eagle ever 3-4 weeks ago .

[@ScottRose]

Best memory this season - getting my 2 teenage sons into golf this season. Reminding them that going out to play is about having fun and making memories.

[@justinsnyman1437]

Best moment this season, been working on the wedges, big drive landed middle of the fairway, holed one out from 110 for my first ever eagle 🦅

Best memory for me is the moment it clicked on how to stop coming over the top. I started coming over the top about 2 years ago and no amount of lessons would fix it. I finally found a youtube video that made it click and since then I've fixed my swing and broken 90 each of my last 4 rounds.

[@hopefulgolf320]

I had the most amazing round yesterday, superb weather (probably the last warm day for the year where I live) and a new work buddy brought me to his home course. It was in immaculate condition and I managed to not only use the same ball the whole round, I broke 100 with a total of 99 as well!

[@BobbyKewley]

Love this series!! Very inspiring for me, as I'm trying to break 80 myself. Closest I've ever been is 83. Like the Dawg I've been playing the same course over and over in my quest. I'm getting there. Thanks for the inspiration playas 👊

[@pascal-golfdevirton5806]

Yestarday, I planted a feather on 4 greens on my home course while playing. One for each birdie opportunity. I made one (first in home club, best memory at golf - so far), and 4 pars on a 9 hole tournament. Ended up +5 on 9 holes with a 24 HDCP. Your systems works!!! I was 36 playing 105 4 months ago. BTW, my partners were technically better than me, but made all the mistakes you point out in your videos. You're the best. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It's always great to see true science on display. You saw the science of the feather, and the science of Stroke Shaved!
