COURSE MANAGEMENT Gone Wrong Breaking 80 - Digging Deep After Horrific First Nine PART 1

[@hockeycards12]

The lapel mic is making this like a Golf Sidekick ASMR

[@coreys2893]

Love the lapel mic - real-time energy right into my ears

[@corey3145]

Was thinking the same thing. Love to hear how better players react in the moment to the good, the bad, & the ugly🤣

[@dave_messina]

Matt, the running commentary is really interesting. Will be even more so when compared to your post-round analysis. Great video!

[@eagledetection4451]

In my opinion this is much better than him doing post round analysis while watching back the footage. Now, he's basically saying what he would during the voice-over, but now its live and raw. Perfect!

[@ztiberiusd]

Love the mic'd up play!!! Totally refreshing and interesting. Greatly appreciated as a long time viewer! Hope it stays.

[@robseago3004]

Great format using the mic - from lie condition, shot choice, reaction and emotion - love it Matt

[@dpmiam]

Matt, I love your channel. In a few months your content has enabled me to go from breaking 100 now on the cusp of breaking 90 which I will do soon. Most importantly it has made golf fun again. Easy life playa! Thank you. The two must play courses in Virginia are Robert Trent Jones (Gainesville, VA) and Kinloch. Kind regards! Chris

[@lysajane3643]

Love hearing your thoughts as you play. Super helpful for someone who is trying to lower their score. These are lessons in course management and managing your on course golf thought demons. And mic is great!

[@nbirkett1]

Last time I was this early, B-Dog hadn't broken 90

[@hannesnell3897]

Love your videos fam You are the goat of golfing youtubers

[@kylerossouw8697]

Great audio, Glendower Golf Club. Cant wait for part 2.

[@juandelval7931]

Absolutely awesome that you used a mic. Waddaplaya

[@lukegachet2338]

This mic is great. Brilliant to hear your immediate reaction and things you're thinking as you're just about to hit.

[@jimmydelrio8662]

Great video. Must play course is Balboa Park in San Diego California. It is a love hate course. The front 9 is short and plays into a canyon. However, you have to be precise with your tee shots and great with elevation change. The back 9 is scenic with many of the holes overlooking the city, point loma, and the pacific ocean. The last two holes will test you, with a long par 3 off an extremely elevated tee which is difficult to judge and a par 4 uphill with a narrow fairway.

[@arabking1985]

This course is awesome. Great bang for the buck which is my favorite type.

[@jimmydelrio8662]

@@arabking1985 I am glad someone agreed with me. The toughest hole on the property is actually on the 9 hole executive. Long par 3 number 4 hole. This is one of those holes that you are actually rewarded for hitting short then chipping onto the green. That green is serverly slope and you are granteed a 3 putt if you land on the green.

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Great idea with the lavalier mic mate. Just knocking it up a notch.. LIKE A BAUS 0:05 "I'm not going to be using the rangefinder today" 7:16 uses rangefinder

[@eagledetection4451]

Adding the microphone and hearing you talk in real time is a game changer. Nice job!!

[@wolfyand1]

New mic life playa. Always a pleasure to watch your content baus.

[@peterstaines9047]

The lapel mike is a great idea...hear all the doubts about what went right/wrong, etc, when doing a post analysis of shots into greens, etc...working out the best percentage play to tackle the up'n'downs of each green when needed...it's a constant in golf to coach yourself into what we are doing right/wrong and how to fix it...it's like we are a caddy watching a very good ball striker going about more often than not trying to beat 80 and on the good days beat 75...i love watching the freedom he has with his general play and his smarts around the greens...makes me want to keep practising those short game chips and putts more than the range stuff...will be adopting the sidekick system of 666 for our club championships coming up in feb next month...want to definitely beat 90 on average and try to knock off 85 on average over 4 rounds...want the freedom to think nothing else than 6 greens, 6 up'n'downs and 6 birthday holes and smash those drives...

[@highfather89]

Just want to say I very much enjoyed the running commentary and hope you do more vids with it. Love the channel!

[@puckalakealake5597]

Thanks for all the work required to provide the content

[@sameerpurohit3385]

This is wonderful. I love hearing the thought process and also how you commit to shots. Well done. Self talk is awesome 🙂⛳

[@andrewo24]

Excellent audio quality and commentary, Matt. Keep it up

[@ericnielsen6700]

Arcadia Bluffs is not just a must play in my area, but must play in the entire state. Especially the bluffs course.

[@arabking1985]

Must also need like a zillion dollars. 🤑

[@colewagner3435]

After recently learning about Arcadia bluffs, that’s a bucket list course to play for me. I’d also love to play forest dunes. Michigan has some gems for golf courses!

[@samdethloff1741]

A must play is whistling straits or Erin hills. Beautiful courses and very tough to go low at.

[@justwondering1967]

I live three miles from EH. Let’s play some time, Sam.👍

[@mryak288]

Click the video for the golf, stay for the group matching outfits

[@cjpops76]

Now THAT’S relatable golf! Juuuuust a smidge off your game and you end up scoring worse than you’re capable of. I did the same thing today on the front nine. Groovy putt on 9 for par, playa!

[@danielmaier4140]

Its Golfcourse Deutsche Weinstraße. Perfectly located between orchards and vineyards. And the best: If the tuba ist after you to much, just step out of the course and have a beautiful glass of wine while enjoying the view on the palatinate forest.

[@mikemc7704]

This is one of the best videos you have produced matt. Maybe it is the lapel mic and no dubbing later. And the distance watch. Since i have a distance watch this is helpful. Good good video!

[@billwallenstein3387]

Happy New Year Playa! May 2021 be the year our handicaps go down!

[@davejohn255]

The weather looks great...Had snow on a couple greens on the course I played last week...Was able to putt thru it tho. Extra roll on the frozen fairways , was nice.

[@refugium-ben9435]

Been testing both now - descision after this input: done; will go for watch first. New mic‘ is good; firstly thought maybe too much (audio-) input, but more insight in pre-shot-process is great. Best course around: Attighof Golf and Country Club! Loads of slope, but fine fairways and tugged into the woods; on top: beers and further catering on me. 🤙🏼 Happy new year to all playas!

[@ariannedante1632]

Its an honest game play, very interesting to watch playah

[@tonypera6070]

Audio is absolutely amazing. It's like pro golf

[@stealthlobster]

Great format, great audio. Waddaplayya!

[@kofno]

Thank you so much for putting your game on display so we can all get better. Must play in my area: Boulder Creek Golf Club, Streetsboro, OH -- Lovely course with plenty of challenge.

[@MCJJtracks]

Lake Chabot with one of the only par 6's in the country would be my pick for best course in the area. Thanks for all the quality vids

[@ericroque7968]

Love this style of commentary Matt! Please do more in the future. Must play course near me: Mansion Ridge Golf Course in Monroe NY. This Jack Nicklaus designed course is a must play!! Amazing condition, full of challenges, and they serve a mean hot dog after the round.

[@danielcohen3159]

10:03 - This is the kind of course management I'm usually thinking! "If I top it I still have a third shot." Love it. Hermitage Golf Course in Nashville, TN is a great course here.

[@GolfSidekick]

LOL!

[@nathanbelcher6390]

I have the Garmin Approach S60 and used it for a year; the S60 has a full-color map of every hole. You can pick a target, then the watch will give the yardage to the target and the remaining yardage to the green. You can also move the pin around on the green, which would solve the problem you had on hole #6. The S60 seems to be well worth cost of the upgrade over the S40, so I highly recommend the S60. All the best!

[@mjflores4314]

Mic on the lapel. Love it! Waddaplaya!Now you can really talk us through the shots.

[@chrisl2915]

Great video, love the commentary and verbalizing your thoughts. That is a tough course, golden rule is keep it on the fairway, the mounds, hollows and trees off the fairway are brutal, lucky to have uphill lies there, downhill lies would be bigger killer on score. Approach on 8th was PGA quality!

[@billhale3293]

The Ranch in Westfield MA. My brother is 15 minutes from the course. Amazing elevation and superior staff always makes for a great day.

[@SobaCha]

My favorite course in Atlanta GA, USA area is Echelon Golf Course. It’s very hard and long but listening to you makes me feel like a real playa there :)

[@gilbumkang]

Oh bro. I really like this. Much better than dubbing. 👍

[@eagledetection4451]

A must play in the Minnesota metro area, Loggers Trail! We don't get lynx style courses up here very often, if at all, but Loggers Trail is definitely lynx style, and its a real treat to play especially in the fall. The gold divot tool / birdie feather would be a great home for my Wadda Playa ball mark!

[@seesprinkle]

Loving the new lavalier mic. Ups your production value exponentially.

[@johnmoon2436]

Great video as always! love the explaination when you play. As a new YT'er I'm always learning how to add effects. Where do you grab the course layout on the side for your shots? Thanks!

[@gasty_vom_asty]

Happy new year, Matt (and lil sis Teaski!) and "Frohes Neues" Didi & co... ! :o)

[@twinsfan9141]

Must-play course in my area: The Jewel in Lake City, Minnesota!

[@alekpaskewitz2715]

I've always wanted to give that one a try

[@bwfcaaron96]

Great vid. Loved the running commentary was really interesting.

[@giantcerealbowl2120]

Loving the live commentary Playa

[@sshadow2]

Your watch doesn't give you a front of green reading? I really like this vlog format. Very enjoyable! Nice point on playing to your style. Great video!

[@FairwayJack]

Nice course ..played a few times ...followed Tiger Woods around when he won the Johnny Walker back in 2000

[@leontaylor3695]

Right now we can’t play golf in Northern Ireland, so the best coarse you’d be able to play is my back garden. Good conditions. No bunkers but watch out for the bird bowl, it’s a dangerous water hazard.

[@baileymaberto7544]

My must-play course in my area (Reno, NV) has to be Toiyabe Golf Club. This course is tucked right up against the Sierra Nevadas and offers breathtaking views as you tour through the natural mountains of the course. It makes for a challenging but fair track but applying your course management strategies has already shedded strokes off of my games. Finally broke my 100 but the grind doesnt stop! Maybe planting some feathers will help!

[@alekpaskewitz2715]

My favorite in my area would be Solid Rock National, which my dad and I created in our hayfield when Covid had closed the local courses. We shut it down when things opened back up, but it was a special memory

[@ayeohh22]

Liking the new mic broski!

[@BlackNike24]

Must play: Atlantic City Country Club. Where I got married and played the day of my wedding. Great video Chief

[@bafoon]

Ravisloe is the must play public golf course in Chicago. A classic old-school Donald Ross layout, and a perfect course to walk

[@arabking1985]

I second this recommendation. Best walking course in the country.

[@PieterPienaar]

A must play in my area is Centurion Country Club in Pretoria Sunny South Africa, beautiful course tough to play and island green on 17. Feels like you're playing TPC Sawgrass. Also love the vids learnt quite a bit and improved my game from 120 to BREAKING 100 just by watching these vids and applying them to my game

[@stevencowan1788]

Bro !! This is superb .🥃real matt 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JPDIUPHAWK]

Must-Play Course in my area is Penn National Golf Club located in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania! Top 50 Nationally ranked. Two courses. Old course is woods style and new course is links style. Great slacking anytime we tee it there! Planting feathers, growing birdies!

[@paulgriffith622]

Leslie Park Golf Course here in Ann Arbor. Great layout with water and elevation changes. Plus, it's a muni course all can play and multiple tee boxes so you can park your ego at the door and choose the tee that fits your game.

[@jonclay1563]

My favorite is my home course, Fort Collins Country Club because it is a beautiful parkland course overlooking the Rocky Mountains. Excellent walking course and very good for women, seniors and Kids as not many forced carries into small, very subtle breaking greens. Tree lined so accuracy off tee is critical. Just a great track.

[@jakeboes6896]

Love the mic Matt

[@albertjohnson5338]

Just north of London, in the county of Essex, is the beautiful course called 'Toot Hill'. Undulating, crossed by streams and lakes, high up over the English country side, green and with beautiful trees all around, and sometimes nearly in the middle of the fairway. A great day out, relaxing but a test. Very fast greens with with slopes that, if covered in snow, could be used for skiing! You have to be in the right place on this course.

[@johnarmstrong6227]

The lapel mic is a really nice addition!

[@zachgalan7249]

Play Arcadia bluffs, it’s in northern Michigan and it’s incredible

[@creepintrex]

Must play course in my area Palmbrook Country Club. Spent $70US range balls included with green fees. Course has been in great shape. I’ve played $100US courses where balls were another expense. Bang for buck can’t go wrong with it. Park style front 9 with more water hazard on the back. Good challenge for all levels of golf.

[@SomeoneAwesome3998]

In my area the must play course is The Walker Course. It is on campus at Clemson University, with a signature 17th hole par three including a tiger paw using the green and four surrounding bunkers. It amazes me how many people come to play that course just because of the novelty that it is Clemson University’s course.

[@gerritkjonker8606]

Oh i feel like a must play course in my general area is pinnacle point in mosselbay SA, i havent actually played it but its on my list for sure. Great videos btw

[@craig4811]

Love the tuba. ;) Keep the great attitude!

[@richief1957]

Man I love these vids!

[@nickmoon3937]

Must play. Brabazon, Belfry. Played it once before discovered way of the playa and I was awful. Will take it on again soon

[@mitchoburrito2836]

Must play course in my area; Mooroopna Golf Course, Mooroopna VIC, Australia. Also, if this video taught me anything, is that the playa in chief kept the positive vibe going, even after hitting into less than desirable lies. What a PLAYA!!

[@isleofdeath]

Recommendation: In my direct neighbourhood probably "Hummelbachaue", but I would recommend "Bad Neuenahr", which is a little farther away but a really cool course!

[@krabboy22]

Must play course in my area is Sweetens Cove! Great course and greens like Augusta !

[@noeldoumerc1164]

Amazing second shot on 8!!

[@mmanni47]

Must play in my area: Brabazon course at The Belfry (UK). Host of 4 Ryder Cups and the iconic 10th hole that Seve drove in 1978

[@francoisguindon9411]

Mic’ed up Baus Matt love it

[@tonymiddlehurst8438]

Cracking opening drive mon, bloody hard course, greens look evil.

[@jedwards63]

I'm a member at a course called West Australian Golf Club - must play. You'd love it. First hole is a 220m+ Par 3 with water on the left and driving range on the right. Tough as hell.

[@randyhay6721]

The Regatta, a wonderful Arnold Palmer designed course. Tons of water and a for sure fairway course. Black stone is also a very good course tons of hills fast greens and just a gorgeous view and hidden gem.

[@edwingower6688]

Clarens, Free State! That way can be windgat and invite myself, you've played it before so I know the advice will be Baus. Plus, its real pretty this time of year.

[@jdfred23]

Red Rocks Golf Course in South Dakota... hidden gem of the black hills, with lots of character and challenging greens

[@simonbastin5346]

Loved that Matt, where's part 2?

[@ThinkBlueAZ]

GPS watches are great for those struggling to increase GIR. The better watches also have a feature allowing you to move a cursor to the area the Pin is for more accuracy, but for better players that attack, a precise measurement from a rangefinder is ideal.

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

Happy New Year's!! In my area the best course would be St.Leon Rot!! It held the SAP Open an European Tour event in early 2000's and the Solheim Cup in 2015!!

[@MrJasond28]

Kapolei golf course Hawaii is a MUST PLAY!

[@swannpoker]

Kingsdown Golf Club, Wiltshire, UK. Been there since 1880! On the site of an old quarry so some of the fairways look like jelly - great course.

[@juandelval7931]

You have to play Club de Golf Chapultepec if you are ever in Mexico City! Waddacourse

[@ajfgolf]

Great video again Matt. One day can we have a compilation video of "Caddie no good" please? Every time I hear that I repeat it & crack up

[@samwalsh785]

Must play course: Noosa Springs! QLD Australia :) Beautiful championship quality resort course however the trick is to dodge the Aussie wildlife while you play. Last round I lost 10 balls and shanked my last ball, went walking into rough/trees to retrieve a ball a saw sitting in the open but actually ended up being well disguised swamp and sunk up to my knees in mud. Back 9 in bare feet I had to walk through a herd of kangaroos (and their shit) on hole 12, dodge angry Plover birds on 14, and on 17 tee nearly crapped myself as a brown snake slithered 50 centimetres from my foot (2nd most venomous snake in the world). Haven't fallen into the lake there yet but guarantee there are bull sharks in it too...

[@1pierrr]

Bit more global warming... and maybe some crocs too. 😲

You gotta come to Italy and close to the sunny Rimini you’ll find the fantastic verucchio golf club! Its not in perfect shape but the views are fantastic and the course layout is lovely.. I’d love to offer you a beer and play a round together! Cheers and happy 2021

Waddaman. Lovely course! A must play course in my area is my home course, Glen View GC in lancashire, UK. About 6k yards from the tips, par 69 but has 9 blind tea shots and is heavily protected by wind Also, I Recently got myself a range finder scope and it's been a game changer.

[@ztiberiusd]

A must play course in New Zealand is Tara Iti although it's super hard to get on. Absolutely stunning though. I hope to play there someday! Worth the trip to NZ just to play that course.
