How to lower Golf Scores Immediately: STRESS FREE GOLF 101

[@AvianAfficionado]

I gotta admit, I adopted your way of thinking and I've been doing way better now. I went from a 112 to an 89 in a week (no lie) by just thinking positively and using your method of playing golf. Cheers!

That's disgusting! Well done sir! Waddascorereduction

[@definitelynotlebronjames443]

I am in high school and we had a golf tournament I am usually a mid 80s player but in a tournament a week ago I shot 96 and was aggravated because I can shoot better easily. My main problem is constantly outcome thinking “I need this and this to get this score” and it kills my mental game, I decided to go out there at the next tournament and focus and think ahead but at the same time have a positive attitude to the bad shots instead of getting aggravated. I shot 79 yesterday and I just want to say thank you!!!

[@garrettfisher770]

These iron shots off the tee box are so satisfying not going to lie, also I find it funny with your reactions when putting and get all frustrated

[@mr.mister6658]

My good man, shot an 82 on my home course, a par 71, slope 112. Bettered my previous best of 88. Your mindset and keepjng calm/just enjoying the day and not counting the score kept me in the game all day. 45 points my man. Many thanks to you for your advice

[@GolfSidekick]

That is most excellent news my good man. 45 points and you should be banned from entering anymore comps! Nothing better than stomping ass with a 45 walking into the clubhouse with the BDE. Yes thats the Big D*ck Energy!

[@buttershores8435]

You are changing my attitude toward the game! I lost a little over 120 pounds a couple of yrs ago and lost a bunch of strength with it! Quit the game for a year or so because of the massive loss of distance but have come back to the game within the last year. I'm back to a 4 handicap but that's playing from around 6,400 yards average. Any longer and I begin to get STRESSED about reaching greens and keeping up with "flat bellies". Your "chipping and putting" theory is 100% the correct approach to the game and I appreciate the inspiration! Keep the videos coming. Very informative as well as entertaining.

[@GolfSidekick]

Well done on coming back and enjoying the game again big dawg. Now all you need to realize is that long holes you just need to hit your favorite pitch shot or chip shot into the green! You will start making more pars and get more confidence.

Second round of the year, with new irons and driver, I went to my local track. I was 5 over on the first 3 holes and I decided to go full Stress Free!. 39 on the back nine with at least a par putt on every hole. Took the driver out only once on the last 15 holes (ripped a monster drive down the middle) but kept it simple and stress free. Thanks Playa!

[@chelezilla1]

@GolfSidekick! Just followed! I found golf just over 3 short years ago and have fallen in love with it! As a life long athlete my 1st invite was from a friend who assured me that I would love the game, and man was he right! The whole thing is so humbling, size and athletic ability have nothing to do with the game at all! The entire game is 'mental' paired with practice, practice, practice and attitude. I cannot tell you how very much I appreciate your 'keep it simple stupid' approach to the game, and your candid sharing of course and stress management! Your channel has been critical to my own process of improving and I can share that since finding your channel I have gone from shooting triple digits to regularly shooting in the low 90s and I have no doubt that I'll be getting into the 80s and beyond with more "PLAY" (not work)! Thank you so much for all of your sharing, keep it up PLAYA!

[@paulallen286]

Matt, thank you for your tip on putting. By gripping the putter closer to the steel and using the new shoulder only motion my putting stroke which was very good already is even better! If you're ever in the Myrtle Beach, SC USA area the golfs on me...

[@niklawrence6991]

Still the best golf vids going. Great humour, love the music (especially the birdie track) and great tips that every level of golfer can use. I look forward to every episode. Thanks Matt keep 'em coming playa!

[@hakaveli72]

I forced myself to play smarter golf on the back 9 yesterday. I started on the front with a 58 (4 drops) using my 3 hybrid and 4 iron which were hooking hard all day. On the back, I shot a 44 using only my 6 iron off the tee and breaking up approaching into two wedges. Your method really works.

[@GolfSidekick]

I love that my good man!!! And you will eventually become so good at 6 iron and wedges that youll drop your scores like a baus and end up being equipped with shots that will help you get down to 80 quick quick my man

[@PWL1371]

Your approach to golf has been great . Taken several strokes off my game . I even leave my driver in the bag on one course and found out a 200 yard 4 iron is way better than a 50/50 driver shot ( that day I did my best score ) Now with this video I am learning even more on how to enjoy the game ! Cant thank you enough !!!

[@GolfSidekick]

There we go my good man! Winning big with small changes. That's what it's all about and having fun, in turn, dropping those scores effortlessly

[@risajajr]

Love your channel! It is the only one I've watched that talks about thinking through a round. It's a great balance to the endless swing instruction vids out there.

[@GolfSidekick]

Thank you sir. Swing instrcution is useless actually unless it is with someone who really cares about you. Most of the time we make crap swings because of our thinking and our doubts and has nothing to do with mechanics. Majority of the time, instruction works only until you hit the course again and have a target in your way and your brain melts. Get over the doubt and fear first, learn to commit to shots and swing instruction might then be okay if their is PAIN or BIIIIIG slices.

[@sggjose]

Matt, thank you so much. Your vids are truly an inspiration to enjoy golf and forget the aggravation and frustration that comes from playing "bad". Today I adopted the stress-free way of the playa mentality and shot my lowest score ever - 87. This is on the heels of a terrible 106 rd two days ago. Keep up the good work!

[@GoBoT-ow9kn]

I just started playing golf. I only do 9 holes. Playing about three times a week and practice a couple hours with a net. My buddy told me golf is easier and more fun when you’re relaxed and you just play. No stress or hype to do good. Just swing and play. I started out with a high handicap. Like 14 strokes on a par 4. But after just relaxing and just learning to hit and enjoy myself, I’m down to 7 strokes a hole. That’s after less than a month. Just relax and enjoy the day, best tip ever.

[@GolfSidekick]

Welcome to the path of golfing enlghtenment! You have started early!

[@Pranjalbajaj95]

You’re awesome Mr. Sidekick. I love golf and often watch your videos before going to bed - helps your ideas sink in better haha. Partly thanks to you, I shot 76 from the backs at Bethpage black and I’m a 6-handicapper- clearly a big effect. :)

[@paulh7589]

When I finally realized how unimportant I am and how unimportant the game is I started shooting much lower scores. I don't analyze my swing or get upset over bad shots anymore. Bad shots are going to happen. A good round is obviously more enjoyable than a bad round, but they are both fun. I get to spend an afternoon with my friends whacking away on fantastic grass that I don't have to mow. Include the hour or so at the 19th hole and I am looking at 5-6 hours away from my nagging wife. I love the game on so many levels.

[@Taz20005]

Im so used to hitting from rough, and trees, with obstacles in he way that fairway shots are the more stressful ones...."oh snap, im in the fairway don't mess up, this is your chance to have a good hole--tops it 20ft" vs "ok so i have 2 trees in the way, hitting from shin deep grass, with a water hazard between me and hole 150yd shot---drops it 6ft from hole"

[@VoodooZ]

Lovely start... I usually carry pepperoni sticks or sometype of protein in my bag so I can keep my energy levels up during rounds and avoid the brain-farts. Too many people have coke, beer and/or chocolate and then wonder why they crash hard on the back nine. Keep up the great videos!

[@GolfSidekick]

Pepperoni sticks would be amazing but I live in a place where that stuff is regarded as ewww to the locals so for me it will need to be some boiled eggs at one of the pit stops along the way! Look out for my next video where I do ingest some snack - you'll be surprised what happened next!

[@harveyjohnny1967]

This is a really good and healthy approach and I am going to adopt it. I play off 9 now and break 80 quite often but it would be more satisfying from here on in to achieve something like 'Did i maintain rhythm on every swing', rather than trying to get to a score.

[@GolfSidekick]

Yes sir. Great idea and it works. Have one or two playing focuses and do them instead of worrying about the score or the par. Great stuff

Hello, I found your channel by happy accident and I'm really very glad I did. I've been spending ages, (far more time than I should have), catching up with all your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Well done. My particular favourite was the match with Pun, it was wonderful. That's how golf should be played. I smiled the whole way through it. I hope to take your stress free golf out to my next round as it makes perfect sense. I've kinda always known that's how I should play, (I'm an 18 handicapper), but I do tend to overestimate my ability and take on shots that, at the best, I have a one in ten chance of pulling off, or, just as badly, compound one bad shot with the next. All the best and keep up the good work.

Good advice Matt, I played Chambers Bay(site of the 2015 US Open) yesterday with the stress free method and shot an 83, they just re-sodded the greens so they were not consistent yet. but when I played there in 2017 I shot a 103.

The mission is simple: reduce the world's collective handicap by 3 shots and increase fun by 500% So far, we are doing it, slowly but steadily. Some big time playas have reduced their scores from 110+ down into the 80's which is exceptional so they are really helping that global average!

Just got on Ebay to see what they had for Srixon 2 irons. There's a plethora. Probably a bunch of 30 handicappers (like myself) went out and got themselves one (because of The Playa's video), and then realized that they can't hit a 2 iron like a 4 handicapper:D

[@4Stanzas]

I played yesterday at a course 2 hours away. On the number 1 handicap hole, I had 90 yards for my approach shot to a front flag on a crows nest green. I was going to use my 54 degree wedge, then my sidekick training got me thinking. Can I hit it pure off this very tight lie? If not, then I'm short and the crows nest green will cause the ball to roll back down, leaving me short sided with a tough chip back up the slope. I decide to use my knock-down wedge instead: 100 yards, better chance of a good contact. The ball came out low and controlled, safely hit the green past the pin, spun back and plopped into the hole for an eagle! Thanks GS, I couldn't have done it without you. :)

After some time maybe 4 or 5 rounds, they should be good value. Only thing is finding someone.

[@lancehebert179]

In the past month I have been using the stress free method I have dropped 13 strokes. From 100 to now shooting 87

[@GolfSidekick]

Sir, while most people might find thisnunbelievable, I understand the true potential of being stress free, committed and happy on the course. You have reached enlightenment way of the playa, phase 11

[@lancehebert179]

[@dirtyhipstergolf8412]

Not sure how to msg on KZbin but I just hit your insta - DM me playa!

[@stephannestler4357]

Just cool the way of the playa :-)

[@norms4831]

Awesome content Matt! It's refreshing to see even you have meltdowns, cuz I know I do (brain farts). Thanks and I'll be playing in about 6 weeks, stress free hopefully! Comfortable clubs, get it on the green, work on putting circle drill - got it. 😉

[@GolfSidekick]

The Normster is back! that 3 foot circle drill man, combine that with the stel ruler drill and you're gonna be a fucking champ

[@justincox8398]

Dude I love watching your videos...keep it up Im subscribed

[@GolfSidekick]

Thanks playa.

[@justincox8398]

@@GolfSidekick thanks fot replying thats awesome...u are an amazing putter and when you are playing competitively do you use your driver more or still a 2 iron? And where you from?

[@GolfSidekick]

I just use the two iron especially on a new course. When i play a course for the second and third time and I know the lines, driver can come out more.

[@justincox8398]

@@GolfSidekick completely understandable can you teach swings or give analysis id love a little help...I just got new M6 driver and hit well never had a 2 iron my go to club is my 4 iron hybrid which is a 80% 210 yds or hard 225ish...Im a 14 handicap but have been as low as 10.5 handicap...but if you ever come into U.S and to Nashville, Tn Id love to play a round

[@GolfSidekick]

@@justincox8398 I know next to nothing about the swing my good man. I unfortunately cannot help on that. But if your go to club works, then work it. If the driver works when you have more confidence on wider holes, boom boom and then expand to tighter holes as your confidence grows

[@drewruiz7520]

Pretty much adopted the stress free golf approach and it's made golf way easier. Curious, how do you edit your videos with the map and shot tracer? Have an app you use? All done in final cut or da vinci? Thanks!

[@GolfSidekick]

Shot tracer app Google Earth after effects

[@justinbenadie7624]

Can u plz go play at durbanville golf course in south africa cape town

[@theswedishgolferchannel1186]

Champ! Thanks for all the great content! Your videos are always a treat! Need to try to apply your stress free technique when the season starts here in the Nordic. Far to many rounds I spend being pissed off and going for impossible shots! Golf is supposed to be fun and not all about being anxcious and miserable 😃 What is your mindset on short putts? 3-4 feet.

[@GolfSidekick]

The Swedish Golfer Channel 3-4 foot putts are about finding the line for your pace. Do you wanna boom it or baby it? If you boom it, you need less break but MORE commitment. If you are gonna baby it, you need more break and soft hands with a willingness to trust gravity will bring it in. Then you find a spot on that line within 5 or 6 inches of the ball and line the putter alignment aid up to that spot. You must feel comfortable with your eyes that your eyes and brain and putter line up. Once you feel comfortable over it, you take the putter back a short distance and follow through twice as far as your back stroke. Stay down and dont look up. Ideally if you suck at 3-4 footers, you should stay down so long without looking up that the only way you know it is in the hole is because you heard the sound of it landing in the bottom of the cup. If you REALLLYYY suck at them, look at the hole when you putt the ball. Seriously try that on the practice putting green next time

[@theswedishgolferchannel1186]

Golf Sidekick Thanks Brotha for the great advise 👑👍🏻

[@GolfSidekick]

The Swedish Golfer Channel Also get a 4 foot steel ruler and practice keeping the ball on that all four feet. Youll be a boss after a month

[@theswedishgolferchannel1186]

Golf Sidekick Thanks! I’ll keep practising, It’s mostly a mental thing when I’m nervous! Keep the videos coming Champ 👑

[@jarrodflett3348]

Great video again Matt. Start of the season next week in Brexit land. Gonna watch your 6-6-6 video for inspiration. Here’s looking for single figures by September. Let’s do it.

[@GolfSidekick]

Do it my good man. Plan the next shot to set up the next one in the most stress-free way possible. That's all there is to it.

[@robertreese6999]

Nicely done Matt, great vid and great play. What loft is your 2 iron? I just added a 19* 3 iron and am loving it. Last season I regularly had a melt down point, funnily enough also around 14th/15th. I needed to fix this - enough water (not energy drinks or whatever which I had before) and some healthy food made an immediate difference. I also tried to build mental and physical stamina by long training sessions or more than one round in a day. It kinda works better now, but something I'm also still working on. Keep up the good work! Regards from Germany!

[@GolfSidekick]

18 degree two iron. I dont think my meltdowns are from the food. I did think so but its purely mental. Probably because its hotter now (98-102 F, 37-38 C) and I start to waiver a bit. But i need to be fitter and then stay within my abilities. Lately I hve been trying to hit fades and half shots and knockdowns on the back nine for what reason I dunno. So will need to get fitter mentally and physically so I can post a 68 or something in the near future!!!!!!!!!!

[@MiguelArcangel12]

Wow! You're putting is enviable. I'd like to meet you someday but I will never play you for money :)

[@KIERNAN100]

Playa, good vids - Can you do a quick one on fairway bunker shots please?

[@GolfSidekick]

I will do that for you. Gimme a bit of time I need to find a decent and quiet place to do it

[@robertgagnon2947]

Funny how he is concerned about his stress level. He looks like he would stress the hell out of everybody playing with him. My heart rate is racing just watching. Entertaining though..

[@robertcooper8973]

Thank you for making these vids playa

[@ogmangler8820]

Good sir, I must say that there is no need for any trick shot in the bunker other than open the stance open the face and fucking hammer it if it's buried. Works everytime. Proximity to cup no guarantee. But out and in general direction yes
