How to Break 75 off the Pro Tees Without Driver

[@matthewweymouth3770]

Please keep posting these Vids Matt you fo a great job. I watch these in the mornings on weekends until my family gets up sipping coffee.

[@GolfSidekick]

Very touching comment. I like it

[@sebastianmolyneux-perry2948]

Have to say a few quarantine weeks not even putting or chipping and watching you..... strait up balling now. Positive attitude and stress free golf ✅ Course management/safe landing zones✅ Cut the b.s - no flop shots/hit sensible ✅ I am 35 and a 22 handicap. Never had a lesson but played most of my life. Dont hit handicap ever. Play once a week normally and dont practice at all. Since starting again a few days ago, 4 rounds 4 days nothing for the 8 weeks ..... Hit handicap 3 times out of 4!!!! Mental attitude is 80% of golf you have definitely Improved me by 10 shots. Cant really believe it! Way of the player!

[@scokely]

I've knocked 3 strokes off my score by following your advice, and I'm enjoying golf much more. Keep the videos coming, Matt. I, too, wish to follow the Way Of The Playa.

Birdie music starts playing and you know fist pumping is coming next 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Unreal birdies in this round. I left two or three really easy ones out there and made some really pathetic drops. Should have been a 70 or so!

Golf Sidekick you holed a couple of monsters though so not all bad. I agree you should have broken par which is impressive on a championship course.

Wadda channel.

[@markharrison5857]

if your a single digit and hit your 3 iron 230 probably not an issue. I can't hit my driver 230.

[@GolfSidekick]

Thats why I play off 7200 yard tees. Just play off club tees at 6000-6500

[@eoinm5758]

nothing wrong with 230 as long as it's in play

[@kwikbug]

I used to be plus but now can;t hit a 3 iron...period!!! hit a hybrid about 190 now...sucks!!!

[@OurHouseChannel]

Drained 3 big bastards for birdies! Putter was on fire. Thats a great round on a tough course from the hardest tees. You have talked about stress free rounds forever, but it never really sinks in. This time, for some reason, I "understood" what you mean. It's not playing well that removes the stress, it's removing the stress that helps you play well. That involves letting go of the wheel and stop trying to steer every last detail. Very difficult to do and no doubt a product of years of effort. When you feel that theres no reason you can't go out and shoot par today, your expectations become unreasonable and disaster is usually waiting. Great video bro.

[@GolfSidekick]

You complete me

[@OurHouseChannel]

@@GolfSidekick Does the weather ever change there? Damn. Its always shorts weather. It's been a long, wet winter here so far and more to come. Every time you go play, you're trying to hit a shot off a wet sponge with frozen hands. Can't wait for Spring.

[@GolfSidekick]

OurHouse south african summer is bloody brilliant. Thailand is always hot except now where I am in the north. Gone on a road trip with my dad to some mountains here. Omg its not shorts weather. We arent used to cold so when its 17 degrees celcius at night we die a little death!

U are teaching me a lot about golf. And I've been playing for over 20yrs. But never new how to manage my game.m - as well as other things. I've been thru so many golfing vids and even a lessons here and there but urs are the only ones that have helped me tremendously. Thank you so so much. I even raged quit this game for a time coz it became so frustrating. And u have given me new perspective on my return. Once again, Thank you so so much

[@bigmaxy07]

Matt. I like how your videos are simple. You don't get technical. It's all about attitude, state of mind and making clear decisions. So many times I wipe holes due to poor decision making. I'd love to see you continue to focus on this most important aspect of the game.

Played last week with those things in mind , like playing short of hazards or bunkers and 'boom' shot my best ever a (+3) 74. It was a great feeling and the simplicity of it, and it annoyed the hell out of my playing partners to boot. Great video as always Matt.

[@robertreese6999]

@@GolfSidekickHi Matt, yes we will! ;-) I've been practising so hard in the off season I'm dead excited for spring to arrive! If you don't mind (and maybe it helps to have another view), this is my opinion on 10-15: 10 was a lovely up and down. 11 beautifully played (that six iron baby!). 12 unlucky bogie. 13 the mishit flop cost a bogie (but not really many other options so this is fine). 14 nice. 15 - possibly not enough length off the tee leaving a really long approach? -- So actually, I feel that was a great performance, even on the holes you didn't like so much. It just happens that even very good golfers have a few awkward holes. And you are certainly a very good golfer. All the best from Germany!
